TAFT FOR PRESIDENT.
James S. Sherman of New York
Nominated For Second Place.

Platform as Presented by Senator
Hopkins Had Been Previously
Adopted, While Minority Report
Rejecting the Views of Senator La
Toilette Had Been Voted Down.
Taft on the first ballot by 7O2 votes;
Taft by unanimous choice of the con-
vention.
Such is the record of the culminat-
ing day of the Republican national
convention of 1908, effected mid
scenes Of tumultuous enthusiasm, and
after nerve-racking continuous ses-
sion lasting nearly eight hours.
The favorite sons of other states had
been named, save Knox and La Fol-
lette and now on the roll call came
Ohio. AS the Buckeye state was
reached, the tall, gaunt form of Theo-
dore E. Burton, with student-like face
and severe clerical garb. advanced to
the platform to nominate Ohio's can
didate. He spoke fervently with the
droning voice of an evangelist which
went ringing through the great build
ing. The close of his speech for nom-
ination was the signal for a loos-
ening of the long pentup feeling. In
stantly the Ohio delegates were on
their feet, other Taft states following,
while the convention hosts, In gallery
and on floor, broke into mad demon
stration.
California Seconds Taft's Nomination.
A brief lull gave the opportunity
for the speech seconding Taft's NOM
ination, by George H. Knight of Cal
ifornia, whose big, round face beamed
forth on the sympathetic multitude,
whose splendid baritone voice welled
forth like the tones of great church
organ. California's tribute to Taft
was brief and fervid. Now there was
another lull in the Taft movement,
while the remaining candidates we're
placed in nomination.
A hush of expectancy hung over the
assembly as the call proceeded. Hasty
summaries showed that Taft was far
The Forest Republican. [volume] (Tionesta, Pa.) 1869-1952, 1908-06-24

in the lead. When New York was
reached the Taft column was APT.
Ohio carried the Taft total to 511, or
20 more than enough to nominate.
Still the call went on until the final
result was announced by Chairman
Lodge:
For Theodore Roosevelt, votes;
for Joseph B. Foraker of Ohio, 16
votes; for Charles w. Fairbanks of
Indiana, 40 votes; for Joseph G.. Can
non of Illinois, 5S votes; for Robert La
Toilette of Wisconsin, 25 votes; for
Charles E. Hughes of New York, 81
votes; for Philander C. Knox of Penn
sylvania, 6S votes, and for William H.
Taft of Ohio, 7O2 votes.
Earlier in the day the battle over
the platform had occupied the close
attention of delegates and spectators.
The platform as framed by the COM
mittee on resolutions was read by its
chairman, Senator Hopkins of Illinois,
while minority report, refecting the
Toilette, was presented by Congress-
man Cooper of Wisconsin. 1t was on
one hand the sledge hammer blows Of
the Wisconsin men against combina-
tions and monopoly, and on the other
hand the warning of Hopkins against
the "socialistic doctrines Of Wiscon-
SIM" The platform was adopted by
an overwhelming vote, after many
separate planks in the Wisconsin plan
had been buried under adverse votes.
Distinctly a Sherman Crowd.
Another inspiring picture was pre-
sented as the convention named its
candidate for vice president.
From the outset it was distinctly a
Sherman crowd, with the galleries al
ready trained with chorus of Sher-
man songs and an invading host of
Sherman marchers bearing a huge
portrait of the New York candidate,
starting the echoes ringing.
Among the early arrivals on the
floor was Speaker Cannon, lately a
candidate for president, but now here
as a pillar of strength in the Sherman
movement
Lodge Nomlnates Guild.
From the outbursts of enthusiasm
which greeted every mention of Sher-
mans name it was plain that the mind
of the convention had been made up
and that the decision was only to be
recorded But for a moment there
was a halt in the Sherman movement,
as Senator Lodge, leaving the presid-

Spanish swindle Exposed.
After most brilliant addresses at
Philadelphia by Attorney General
Bonaparte on behalf of the govern
ment and John G. Johnson of Phila'
delphia, representing the seven rail
roads named as defendants in the suit
instituted to restrain them from trans
porting anthracite coal from mines in
Pennsylvania in which they have an
interest, both sides rested and the
case was submitted to Judges Dallas,
Gray and Burlington of the United
States circuit court Both sides will
file briefs.
Mr.. Johnson in his address assailed
the constitutionality of the commodi-
ties clause of the Hepburn act under
which the proceedings were instituted
and decried that authority which
seeks to centralize the government
and segregate the people"
Mr. Bonaparte in answer TO Mr..
Johnson confined himself principally
to a defense of the constitutionality of
the commodity clause and asserted
that the power of congress to regulate
and even to prohibit interstate COM
merce when 1t was inimical to public
interests could not be successfully dis
puted II is obvious, he said. that
congress will not admit that a corpor-
alton is an imaginary thing. II can
not be, he continued. that the same
gentlemen can be the active agents in
a railroad company and a coal com
pany. and then deny that the two in
terests are indirectly. If not directly,
the same by taking different names.
Mr.. Bonaparte in referring to the
power of congress to regulate corpor-
ations even TO the extreme of confisca.
tion, cited the case of a bridge over
the Allegheny river, which was con-
demned and razed by the secretary Of

No expression could be obtained from

closest friends said, however. that n

gress. Mr.. Bonaparte said that the
owners of the bridge, which was erect
ed by grant Of the state Of Pennsyl-
vania, invested their money knowing
the right of congress to subsequently
pass laws based on changed condl-
tions.
One Of Mr.. Johnson's arguments
was that the power of the railroads to
own coal properties was conferred by
the laws of Pennsylvania and could
not be interfered with.
1t is said that no matter what the de-
cision Of the judges of the circuit
court may be the case eventually will

Convicted of Numbering Her Neghbor.
After celebrating for three hours
at Watertown, n. Y, the jury in
the case of Mary Farmer, charged
with the murder of Mrs. Sarah Bren-
nan of Brownsville, returned a verdict
of murder in the first degree.
A motion to set aside the verdict
and grant new trial was denied by
Justice Rogers and the defendant
waived the right of the statutory de-
lay of two days. Justice Rogers then
sentenced Mrs. Farmer to death at
Auburn the week beginning Aug. 2.
The crime for which Mrs. Farmer,
who is 80 years old, was convicted,
was one of the most fiendsh in the
criminal annals of Northern New
York. Her victim, Mrs. Brennan, who
was 50 years old, was her next door
neighbor and most intimate friend and
the motive was to gain possession of
the Brennan home, deeds of which
Mrs. Farmer had forged in October
The crime was committed April %.
Mrs. Brennan was hacked to pieces
with hatchet and her body stuffed in
a trunk where it was found four days
later.

THE PROGRAM.

Melbourne, Aug. (Saturday)- The approaching visit of the Ameri- can fleet to the capitol of the Aus tralian commonwealth promises to be the most memorable event in the history of Australia. The welcome to the officers and men will reach it's climax here. The federal, state and municipal authorities have been busily planning to receive the fleet for the past two months.
 Interest in the reception will eX- tend far into the interior. Upon re- ceiving the invitation which has all ready been accepted by--e7$tfnirar Sperry, Geputations of officers and men will visit the cities of Ballart. Bendigo and North MirbOo, where they will be entertained by the mu- nicipal authorities Of those cities. The state government alone expects to spend about S50,O00 in entertainments not to mention the expenses of the federal government and municipality A novel feature planned for the day of the procession is the dressing and grouping of many school girls in such a way as to represent the union jack and the American and Austral- ian flags.
 Monday afternoon Admiral Sperry and staff, with officers, sailors and marines from the fleet will march in a procession through St. Kilda road, one of the most picturesque and sumptuous thoroughfares of the com monwealth. The procession wiR cross

 Just before the adjournment a del egate suggested it would be the pro per thing to give the ladies in attend ance a vote of thanks and the mo- ton carried. Mrs. Agnes Pease, a prominent suffragist from Salt Lake, who has been assisting the leaders of the California Equal Suffrage Associ- ation in the campaign, arose in a bal cony and walking to the rail. shout ed: MT.
