Following the formal presentation q

Burrows OF Michigan, temporary chair

senator. his shaggy beard much whittier
than when he last attended a national
convention, but with no diminution of
vigor in person or voice, addressed
his great audience on the record OF the
party during the four years since the
last convention, concluding as follows;
"The work of this convention will
soon be concluded. The platform will
voice the dominant thought of the peo-
pie, and the candidates nominated

They must have the patriotism and

Such is the record of the culminat-

cohvention of 1908, effected amid
z6enes of tumultuous enthusiasm and
after a nerve-racking continuous ses-
sion lasting nearly eight hours.
A hush of expectancy hung over the
assembly as the call proceeded. Hasty
summaries showed that Taft was far
in advance. When New York was
reached the Taft column tailed 427.
Ohio carried the Taft total to 551, or
twenty more than enough to nomin-

THE SECOND DAY
Speech of Permanent Chairman Lodge
the Distinctive Feature.

AHC OlShInShiNC ECaANiCs
The selection of Senator Henry c.
Lodge as permanent chairman of the
Republican national convention was
formally approved at a meeting of the
committee on permanent organization
and it was agreed that all of the other
temporary officers of the convention
named on the floor Tuesday should be
made permanent Therefore when the
convention assembled on Wednesday
to hear the reports of the various COM
mittees, Senator Lodge was in the
chair, prepared to direct the delibera-
tons of the great quadrennial gather
ing to its close.
Incidental to the converting of the
delegates an inspiring scene was
presented when the many marching
clubs, which have gathered here from
various parts of the country for the
purpose Of whooping things up for the
several candidates, paraded throhgh
the hall.
The marching clubs assembled on
Michigan avenue, at the foot Of Adams
street, opposite the Art Institute,
marched down Michigan avenue to en-
trance "H' of the convention hall, into
the hall, up the aisle, and out at en-
trance I'D" on Wabash avenue, each
vieing with the other in efforts to ere
ate the most enthusiasm.
Probably the most important act OF
the day, and the one having greatest
significance on the final result of the
convention, was the adoption of the
report Of the committee on credentials,
seating the Taft delegations practi-
cally in toto. If there had been any
lingering doubt of the Taft strength it
disappeared before this decisive &C
ton, which in effect placed upward of
| 700 delegates in the Taft column.
Equally important, and even more re-
markable, was the final acceptance of
this result by the allies without the
formality of a dissenting minority re-
port and without carrying the ques-
ton to the floor of the convention for
the open fight which had been long
threatened Instead of this all fur
Their opposition seemed to crumble,
Those who had promised trouble quiet
ly accepted the inevitable.
After the convention had been called
to order the Rev. William o. Waters
Of Chicago delivered an earnest prayer
for divine guidance in the affairs OF
the day. Senator Lodge, in accepting
the craftsmanship of the convention,
made brief speech thanking the del
egates for the high honor they had
conferred upon him, concluding with
the following appeal to the nations
electorate:
I'VE ask for the confidence and sup
port of the American people because
we have met the problems of the day
and have tried patiently to solve them.
We appeal for votes and for the power
they confer because we uphold the
presidents policies and shall continue
to sustain them. We make our appeal
with confidence because we have a
well-defned policy and are not. like
our opponents, fumhling in the dark to
find some opinion on something.
I'VE believe in the maintenance of
law and order and In the support of
the courts In all their rights and dig

at Chicago, a thousand miles away,
Secretary Taft did not permit politics
to interfere for a moment with his
transaction of official business as sec
rotary of war. In the intermissions of
the receipt of bulletins from the con-
vention the secretary disposed of sew
eral important departmental questions
and when his nomination for the presi-
dency was announced his desk practi-
cally was cleared of important official
business.
Throughout the afternoon the pri-
yate Office of Secretary Taft and the
Office Of his private secretary were sur
rounded with members of his family,
intimate personal and official friends
and newspaper men. When over the
overlooking wire came the fash Taft
is nominated Mrs. Taft rose from her
seat and turned to her husband, who
was standing at her right. 1t was an
eloquent handclasp they gave each
other. Mrs. Taft was bubbling over
with happiness. All evidence Of the
serious strain which had been in her
face during the entire afternoon had
disappeared. The secretary himself
laughed with the Joy of boy. Around
the secretary and Mrs. Taft their
friends crowded to offer their congrat-
ulations. 1t was happy scene-the
realization of months of labor and trib-
ulation.
The president was playing tennis
when Mr.. Loeb took him the news of
the nomination of Secretary Taft. He
had previously prepared statement
declaring Mr.. Taft to be the very best

LATEST Of
THE WRESTLERS
Everything Is Lovely in Both
Camps Challenge From
kahuIui.

| Frank Kanae ended UP hard week
OF training yesterday and will take
matters easier today. He has jim
Spencer. Mitsuka and Will Prestidge
working with him and the trio are
said to be making of him a dangerous
opponent for Froelecher.
Kanae's trainers are greatly pleased
/ with the progress that their charge is
making and declare that on Saturday
they will send a man into the ring who
will spring the greatest surprise that
the local sporting public has ever been
treated to.
Hans Froelecher let up bit in his
work Yesterday, owing TO a slightly
strained ligament contracted in Wrest-
I ling with Professor Baron. He and
Baron go at it in earnest in their daily
stunts and Pete says that if the Swiss
| is beaten he viii eat one of the oars
he recently made for a local boat club.
! FroeIecher has nothing but praise for
the way Baron is handling him. He
has trained under Sandow and others
but does not hesitate to say that Pro-
| fessOr Baron has a system just as
good as any of them for putting a man
in the best physical condition possible.
Sailor Roberts, who goes on with
Amosa Kauahi in a wrestling prelimin-
airy, is making rapid progress under
Froelecher's tutelage and if he gets
away with Amosa next Saturday will
be right in line for main event.
Kauahi is getting in shape in Pa1a-
ma assisted by a corps Of husky boys.
He is confident that he will throw Rob-
erts and is already talking of a side
bet
Wahilani and Baxter, the boxers, who
are billed TO go four rounds of a strictly
exhibition nature, are working with
the gloves every day. The native is
a wiling little man with the gloves and
is popular among local boxing enthu-
siasts. When last seen in public in
Honolulu he was rather green at the
game but he has stuck to practise and
has had the gloves on whenever a
chance presented, with the result that
he has cultivated an impressive style
and no little science
Tt is expected that there will be a
number of challenges at the ringside
next Saturday including defis from
Spencer. Prestidge Mitsuka and w
Norris of Kahului.
The latter writes that he wants to-
wrestle the winner of the Froelecher-
Kanae bout and says that he has back
ing to the amount of $780,
Froelecher is having some mats made
for hard practise this week and they
will be ready tomorrow. When they
are down the Swiss and his trainers
can get down to hard work on the floor
without fear of any unpleasant re-
suits in the shape OF sprains or contu-
siOns.

mer game between these two teams
in regard to the umpire's decision.

take place next Sunday, after which
