The Roosevelt Yell.

Chicago.-The second day of the Re-
publican national convention brought
the long expected Roosevelt yell. a
whirlwind of enthusiasm which ragged
within the vast amphitheater of the
Coliseum for fully forty-five minutes,
for a time presenting to the timid the
specter of a Roosevelt stampede.
This demonstration was decidedly
the feature of day otherwise notable
for stirring speech from the perma-
nent chairman of the convention, Sen
ator Henry Cabot Lodge of Massachu-
sets; for much practical procedure
in placing the convention on smooth
running basis, and for final defeat for
the plan to reduce the representation
of Southern states at future national
conventions.
Probably the most important act of
the day. and the one having greatest
significance, was the adoption of the
report of the committee on credentials
seating the Taft delegations practi-
cally in toto II there has been any
lingering doubt Of the Taft strength
1t disappeared before this decisive &C.
ton, which in effect placed more than
700 delegates in the Taft column.
Equally important and even more re-
markable was the final acceptance of
this result of the allies without the
formality of dissenting minority re-
pert and without carrying the question
to the floor of the convention Or the
open fight which has long been threat
ened.
The report on permanent organize
ton was then presented by Chairman
Brocker of Cincinnati. The announce
ment that Senator Henry Cabot Lodge
had been chosen for permanent chair
man called out applause, especially
from the Massachusetts, delegation.

tinued until Ohio was reached, the
convention broke into an enthusiastic
demonstration.
Representative Burton was unable
to begin his speech nominating Taft
for some three minutes, while the
cheering and flag-waving continued.
In placing the name OF Secretary
Taft before the convention. Represent
alive Theodore Burton said:
This convention enters upon the
grave responsibility of selecting a
presidential candidate with the serene
assurance that the Republican party
will continue to rule this people. What
assembled multitude in any land has
ever pointed the way to such benefi-
cent results for home and for progress
of the whole human race as the re-
curing conventions of this grand old
organization? Yet We do not rely
alone upon the record of that which
it has accomplished. We emphasize
even more its supreme qualification
to solve the problems of the present.
"Since the day when, less than thirty
years of age, Mr.. Taft denounced, with
burning words, member Of his pro-
fession who had been guilty of fla
GRAVITY vicious practices and had de-
moralized the community, he has ever
been associated with the cause of true
reform.
mo one has ever yet assumed the
presidential chair who had received a
more ideal preparation for the duties
Of that great office. AS judge in state
and federal courts, as solicitor-generai.
as governor Of the Philippines, as Sec
rotary of war, which has included the
work OF colonial secretary and director
of national public work, he has re-
ceived his training and has always
shown himself master of the situation
and competent to make more honor
