THE VOTE.

Chicago.-On the first ballot, taken
On the third day of the national con
ventlon, William II. Taft of Ohio was
named by the delegates assembled as
their choice for president of the Unit
ed States, to succeed Theodore Roose
welt.
It was 12:45 p. m. when Senator
Lodge. chairman Of the convention,
announced that nominations for can
didates for the presidency were in
order.
Representative Boutell of Illinois
nominated Speaker Joseph G.. Cannon.
Representative Forbes of Michigan
made the seconding speech for
Speaker Cannon, taking the platform
Immediately after MIR. Boutell had con-
cluded his tribute to the candidate OF
Illinois as "the strongest and bravest
ally of President Roosevelt"
Governor Frank ]. Hanly Of Indiana,
who nominated ViceP President Fair
banks. was interrupted continually
during his speech, the chair threaten
ing at times to call the police and
tors remained more quiet. Mayor
Rookwalter of indianapolis seconded
the nomination Of Fairbanks, saying
that the Indiana delegation came into
the convention as Republicans from a
state which has electoral votes to give
to Republican president, realizing
that a large percentage of those who
roftco m 1tctap narpa From, atataq that
have never In twenty years done any
thing and never will unless they get
a little political courage.
When Mr.. Bookwalter had finished
the call of the states was resumed
and there was no response until New
York was reached. Then General
Stewart l.. Woodford arose to nomi-
nate Governor Hughes. He was
cheered Justify by members of the
oral sections of the hall Joined. The
nomination of Governor Hughes was
seconded from the floor by H. T. l..
Adams, delegate from the Fifth Vir-
glnia district.
When Ohio was called the Ohio del
egates gave yell, the neighboring
delegations, except Illinois and Indl-
ana followed, and for brief period
the uproar was deafening. The gal
lerics joined In with enthusiasm, and
the cheers rang from one end to the
other OF the building
The first mention of the name OF
Taft by the speaker passed almost
without notice. One Ohio delegate
made feeble flicker with a flag and
said "Hi!" there were few hand
clippings from the galleries, but that
was all. The name was uttered and
the orator, sweeping on before the
convention seemed to realize that the
name had been uttered. When they
realized the fact that the moment was
gone Mr.. Burton was one hundred
words further along in his address.
As Mr.. Burton neared the end of his
speech a perfect stiffness pervaded
the chamber. He assured his hearers
that, whether in war or in peace, Sec
rotary Taft as chief magistrate would
guide the destinies of the nation with
g Arm hand and with gentle, pa
triotic heart.
And So" said he. today In the
presence of ten thousand persons and

Some Suggestions For the Man Who

First, then. let the carver plunge
the fork firmly into the breast of the
turkey. He must have a sure hold OF
the breastbone if he would operate
successfully.
Let him then cut off the wing near
est him, which is done by passing the
knife underneath the socket and i
easily accomplished if the bird be
young and tender.
Remove the leg on the same side iI
the same manner, pressing the bone
outward while making the cut. Sep
arate the first and second joints of the
leg and next remove the side bone by
running the knife along the backbone
by a filament of skin and fat; hence
this task is not difficult
Legs and wings being removed, the
slicing Of the breast is a simple mat
ter. and this opens the cavity, from
which filling may be removed with d
spoon. The removal OF the leg usual
ly makes another opening, to be utll-
ized in the same manner.
Be sure YOU have a we'll sharpened
knife.
If you cannot succeed in dismember-
ing it gracefully, don't be too sure that
the toughness of the turkey is 10

NO. | ROBBED
NEAR SPOKANE
Bold Bandit lmparsonates Mail In
spectOr, LOOts q y. Car and
Makes E-cdpe

According to L narrowing tale tod
the local police by the crew of No. l
yesterday, that train had it's mail car
robbed just east of Spokane on Sun
day morning.
At Bonners Ferry, it is said, a
man appeared at the door of the mail
car and represented himself to be a
mail inspector He was admitted, as
is customary in such cases, and given
the courtesy of the car. He removed
his coat, and busted himself with
practised hand about the car, investi-
eating the assortment of the mail,
it's marking and handling, etc., and
deporting himself in every respect
like an experienced mail inspector.
Suddenly, however, the messenger
and clerk found themselves looking
down the muZzle of six-shooter.
The robber managed to force one of
the men into a clothes closet, where
he locked him up. The other he
tied and then went through the reg
istered mail, rifiing it of all that was
valuable This booty he placed in a
bag, and when the train slowed down
for Hillyard he jumped off. In open
ing the car door, said the clerk who
was tiedd, the robber cut his hand
very badly, the blood spattering the
floor OF the car.
The robbery was not kown to the
rest of the train crew till No. l ar
rived at Spokane, where the clerks
in the looted car were regularly re-
lieved by a new crew, which carries
the car through to Seattle.
The police and sheriff of Spokane
were Immediately noIfed, and the
pursuit OF the robber begun. There
is no estimate ~ how much was
secured from the car in the shape Of
funds or other YalHables.
