tumult into thunder. A huge blue
silk banner bearing the familiar fea-
lures of the statesman-Secretary was
swung before the delegates, awaken
ing a fresh whirlwipd of enthusiasm.
All semblanee of order had been
abandoned and theSaelegates' arena
was maelstrom Of gesticulating
men; the. guidons Of the States were
snatched up by the Taft enthusiasts
or borne under by the storm Of dis
order. The board was inaudible-a
mere whisper above the deafening
volume of sound. Ten, fifteen, twen-
ty minutes this uproar continued. i.
was repetition of the scene of We'd
nesday, when the name of Roosevelt
threw the convention into frenzy,
repeated in intensity and almost in
duration. But there is limit to the
physical resources of throat and
lung and at last the tired voices died
down to a hoarsc shout, and finally
subsidized.
The lull now gave the opportunity
for the speech seconding Taft's nom
nation by George Fl. Knight, of Cal

forth on the sympathetic multitude,

SHERMAN FOR VICE PRESIDENT
Second Place on Republican Ticket
Goes to New York Man.

Chicago, Special.-It was tired
set of delegates that assembled Fri
day morning to finish the business Of
the Republican National Convention.
The New York delegation had caucus
ed all night and agreed upon their
choice.
1t was moved and carried that
nominating address be limited to ten
minutes.
Timothy C. Woodruff, of New
York, named James S. Sherman, Of
Utica, for the place saying that New
York can be carried by the Republi-
cans if New York man gets on the
ticket. New York had failed to get
the first place for Governor Hughes,
but the Empire State will be found in
the Republican column if it can have
any place on the ticket; otherwise
there is danger of the nominee at
Denver. Only once, when New York
had man on the ticket, had the
State been lost to the Republicans.

from all the Eastern delegations.)
Speaker Cannon warmed the crowd
to the highest pitch of enthusiasm by
saying Sherman was as we'll qualified
as any man on earth to take the place
of the President if the President
should be called away. The Coliseum
crowd went wild as Cannon conclud-
ed, and it was seen that the man for
whom Woodruff and the Speaker had
let out their lungs would be nominat-
ed, barring miracles.
Chairman Lodge called for the roll
and the result was SIG for Sherman,
rs for Murphy, rs for Guild, 10 for
Sheldon, one for Fairbanks.
Massachusetts moved to make the
nomination OF Sherman unanimous,
and this was carried.
Senator Warner, of Missouri, was
made chairman of a committee to
notify the vice presidential candi-
date, as Senator Lodge sails for Eu-
rope and cannot serve.
The Convention adjourned at II As

tiou. characterizing it as Htransper-
ent fraud" That statement SAYS:
"The anti-injunetion plank of the
Republican platform as finally adopt
ed is q transparent fraud. 1t is pos
sible that the members of the commit
tee were buncoed by some trust law
yer-that is the only charitable view
that can be taken Of it. Those who
advocated the plank claimed to be do
ing it as a concession to the wage
earners, and yet if one will read the
plank he will see that it is in fact
announcement that the Republican
party is unalterably opposed to the
laboring mans position.
"The men who are responsible for
the language of the injunction plank
may have fooled the convention, but
they cannot fool the laboring men or
the voters in general. The injunction
plank has not even the value of a
gold-plate brick for the plating is
brass as well as the interior of the
brick.
"This is the treatment received by
the wage-earners from the national
convention of the Republican party.
If this is the position Of the party
before the election, what reason has
the laboring man to hope that the
party will do better after election?"
