TAFT AND
SHERMAN
The Republican National
Ticket.

Congressman James 5. Sherman of
New York was nominated for the vice
presidency on the first ballot Friday.
CHICAGO, June lS.-Seven hund-
red and two votes for William Howard
Taft
That announcement by Chairman
Lodge at the close Of the first ballot
tells the story in u nutshell. The an
nouncement of the vote to the Is, 600
and more people crowding the sitting
Coliseum from end to end and corner
to corner was followed by tumultuous
applause. A motion was made at the
first lull to make the nomination un-
animous and then recess was taken
until morning to permit Of conference
/! On the vice presidency,
Today WAS Taft day III the big cou-
vention, just as yesterday vas Roose-
velt day. 1t was not all one way, how
ever, and the presence OF dissenting
| minority was distinctly in evidence at
different points. yet only to accentuate
the fact that the republican party is .
party OF majorities, and that the dele
gates and not the visitors in the gal
leries make the convention record.
The spectacular scenes of the day
came in connection with the nomi-
mating speeches.
Fairbanks sponsor, Governor Hanly,
outwore the auditors patience and
suffered constant Interruptions, un-
seemly, yet not without humor. His
characteristic gesture Of striking one
hand on the other was taken up around
the hall, so that every time he brought
his hands together there resOunded q
general sharp handicap.
The projection OF the name OF Taft
brought rouud after round OF enthu-
siastic applause and typical mixup OF
noise, accompanied with the volleying
of the state standards around that Of
Ohio.
The efforts Of the two Wisconsin men
who spoke for La Toilette were plainly
directed toward working toward
Roosevelt stampede in the hope that
their favorite would profit by It, It
was hard to tell just how much OF the
ensuing demonstration belonged to
La Toilette and how much to ROose-
welt. The galleries had the most part
in it. The men displaying Roosevelt
pictures and banners and the class
yelling of Wisconsin university stud
ents seemed TO be the chief noise max
ing centers. from which the pande-
; monium spread. II noise alone would
stampede great nominating conven-
tiUn this one would have been STAN
peded, but the work Of the delegates
had been mapped ont and definitely
determined.
With $50 accredited delegates Mr..
Taft got more than two-thirds, Presi-
dent Roosevelt three Pennsylvania
votes previously counted for Knox and
:, La Toilette his own twenty-five in
Wisconsin. Not favorite sou candi-
date could run his total up over one
tenth that Of the man in the lead.
nt Iptl' ING tllC
will Of the republicans Or the several
states already expressed. Not "A single
delegate showed any dlsposit on TO
. violate instructions imposed by his
= constituency. And no man bat Taft
y could at any time have been nominated
except by wholesale Reputation OF
such instructions.
o First and only ballot: Taft 7O2.

The injunction plank in the Plat
: form reads as follows:
V The republican party will uphold at
all times the authority and integrity
, of the cOIrtS. state aud federal, and
I will ever insist that their powers to
4 enforce their process and to protect
life. ibery and property snail be pre-
served invIOlate. w. believe, how
, ever, that the rule OF prnce-iure in the
federal courts with r"-pect to the
issuance OF the writ OF Injunction
I should he more accurately defined by
! statute and that no injunction or tenn
pOrary restraining orI"r should be
issued without n'rice except irrepar-
, able injury would result from delay,
in which case a >prNi, u"nriug there
, after should be granite!
