For Vice-President.
JAMES S. SHERMAN.

Chicago, June 24.-These are the
standard-bearers selected by the Re-
publican national convention to lead
the presidential campaign Of 1912.
After five days and nights of the
bitterest fighting in the history OF
American politics, in which the great
est masters of political strategy in
the ranks of the party were pitted
against each other and every trick
and maneuver known to the game
were resorted to in an endeavor to
wrest victory from their opponents,
it all ended in the choice of the men
who led the party in the last ma
tional campaign and who are now oc-
cupying the highest offices in the land
as the choice of a majority OF the
American people, to go before the
public as candidates for q second
term.
Taft's Name Presented.
President Taft's name was vpre-
scented to the convention by Harding
of Ohio, and the nomination was sec
onded by John Wanamaker of Phila-
6elphia and Nicholas Murray Butler
of New York
LaFollette was the only other can
dtdate presented to the convention,
Colonel Roosevelt early in the after
noon expressing the desire that his
name be not presented in the conven-
ton, and asking his friends to re-
frain from voting il the convention
The convention sat in comparative
quiet through the nominating
speeches. The vigorous efforts of en-
tkusiasts to start demonstrations for
their favorites met with only mod
crate success. The galleries were
shouted out and the delegates were
tired and wanted to get home. The
result was foregone.
Cheering Is Started.
When the roll call started with Ala
Jana and it threw it's strength to
Taft a burst of cheering started. 1t
was settled that the Taft forces would
stand firm, just as they had stood
from the time they selected Senator
Root as temporary chairman through
the bitter days of the convention un-
der the assaults of the Roosevelt
forces. The Taft forces had all their
OLD strength and a few band wagon
climbers made it even larger.
Pandemonium broke loose when the
result was announced. The galleries
rocked back an forth as if they
would swell over and engulf the dele
gates on the floor. The band went
thfough the motions of playing. but
40 one could he It, Finally It sub
sided aud the thousands started to
crowd out of the building.
The calling { the roll was filed
with exciting incidents.
Vice-President Next.
After the tumult that followed the
nomination of Taft had worn itself
out. Chairman Root announced that
nominations for vice-president were
In order. J. V. Olcott of New York
was recognized and in a short speech
presented the name of James S. Sher.
man to succeed himself. The nomin.
alton was seconded by representa-.
tives from several states.
Boies Penrose' name was next pre-.
sented by delegate from Pennsyl
vania, but received no second, nor did
Penrose receive any votes.

vention off its feet Wednesday
afternoon and, without having ut
tered a word, became the hero OF a
demonstration which will hold a per-
manent place among the spectacular
events in the history Of the nation.
This and test vote which showed
that the Taft following is holding its
own were the two great features OF
the second days session.
When Governor Hadley appeared on
the floor to close the debate on his
resolution to seat the Roosevelt dele
gates who had been unseated by the
national committee the demonstration
Unexpectedly broke loose.
1t was nearly an hour from the time
the demonstration started before the
tumult had sufficiently subsidized to
enable the convention to resume bust
ness.
Root Named Chairman.
Senator Elihu Root of New York
was elected temporary chairman OF
the Republican convention Tuesday
afternoon amid scenes Of great dis
order, thus scoring an important VIC
tory for the Taft forces.
The Roosevelt men voted for Gov.
Francis E. McGovern OF Wisconsin.
With the completion Of the long roll
call, practically every minute of which
had been strenuously contested by the
Roosevelt people. led by Governor
Hadley, Senator Finn and Mr.. Heney,
Senator Root was given an ovation in
which the Roosevelt delegates took no
part. At $50 he began the delivery
of his speech. and continued until
seven o'clock.

and confusion.
QueIIed by Police.
Roosevelt delegates rioted for near
ly a half hour in the Republican ma
tional convention as the temporary or
ganization controlled by the Taft ma
chine was made the permanent or
ganizaton. Their riotous demonstra-
tons, quelled by the police, but served
to delay the prepared action Of the
steam roller.
The reports, majority and minority,
of the rules committee were tabled
and the convention proceeded under
the old rules.

There was an outburst of cheering
when the total Roosevelt strength

outburst followed the announcement
of 666 votes yea. The nays were So,

No Nomination fer Cumnns.
Immediately Chairman Root an
nounced call of the roll of the states

state until Ohio was reached. A cheer
greeted the state and Warren G. Hard

Day of Battle.
| Friday was day of excitement and
constant fighting between abe Taft
and Roosevelt forces on the floor of
the Republican convention. A partial
report from the committee on creden-
tails was the cause Of the sanguinary
conflict
During the day four roll calls were
taken which furnished some little
CLEAN of hope for both sides. On one
ballot the Taft men polled the highest
vote yet recorded for them, COS. A
little later whatever significance
might have been attached to that vote
was somewhat discounted when the
Roosevelt adherents mustered
strength of 529, which was the high
mark SO far for the coloneIs side.
The Roll Calls.
The roll calls were occasioned by
majority and minority reports from
the credentials committee on the seat
ing Of contested delegates in the Ninth
Alabama district. The roll call was
on a motion to table Governor Had
| ley's resolution that contested dele
| gates be not allowed to vote on the
reports. This carried by a vote of $50
! to 1910 not voting
A motion made at once following. to
substitute the minority report seating
the Roosevelt men, as against the ma
| jority's steam roller candidates was
lost by vote of AGA to COS In the
second vote eight Idaho and twenty
| five Wisconsin votes went with the
Taft men. These states explained
that as members of their delegations
were on the credentials committee
they desired to support that commit
tee. They denied they had bolted to
the Taft side on any other issue.
The third ballot was on the Arizona
| contest case. The result was 564 to
497
The fourth vote was on the Califor-
pia case. This resulted SAP to 500,
the highest vote yet mustered by the
Roosevelt men.

MODERN DAVID
o.. New York, April 17.-Tramp-
ing nervously up and down the
corridors of the White Sta OF
fees, his eyes heavy from lack OF
sleep, his face white and strained,
Joseph Francis Warrington this
morning began the third day OF a
weary vigil.
Warrington is modern David,
waiting, hoping, praying, for
news of the life or death OF his
Jonathan, the Jonathan who saw
ed his life in days gone by.
Warrington was one of the
first at the White Star offices aft
or the news of the Titanic dis
aster was flashed over a Mortified
world. ~
He came not to ask for wife or
sweetheart, parent or child. He
came for news of his chum. Will
lam Slocum Lambert, of Green's
boro, Pa.
There. was no news at all then.
There has been no news of Lam
bert since. But Warrington will
not leave. He has not even eat

Even when, at dawn today, the
worn officials of the line again
gently told him that there was

ed, simply, today. Il cannot go
until I know if he be alive or
dead.

Simple Frocks for Girls.

Embroidery plays an important role
in some of the chic little evening
frocks, but it is most often in self
color and has no touch of gorgeous
ness such as is shown in many of the
embroideries for older folk. A little
crystal or gold or silver is admissible,
but nothing striking or elaborate.
A delightful little frock of the pal
est of pink tulle was made up over a
pink silk foundation. The tulle was
sprinkled with crystal dewdrops. The
only trimming was ruches Of tuIIe
trimming the lace fichu and bands OF
lace trimming which edges the ruff
f1e on the skirt. At the right side OF
the frock at the waist line there was
! large black bow edged with plait-
ed frilI.

To Renovate Velvet

A velvet dress may be renovated by
hanging it up in bathroom filled
with steam from the hot water faucet.
Stop up the doors and windows so
that the steam will not escape, and
spread out the garment over a dress
hanger suspended from the ceiling so
that the steam can reach it on all
sides, and the velvet will not be
pressed against anything. Let it dry
in the same position. It should not
be touched in any way until it is abb
solutely dry. The steam should be
turned off and the windows opened
when it is ready for drying.

NEW FROCKS FROM WORTH'S.
This Great Maker Caters to the Taste
Of the Grande Dame, Not to
the Actress.

Among designers of costumes Worth
stands apart. He caters to crowned
heads and the grande danes and not
to the stage.
At a display of his gowns recently
few changes in style were noticed.
Waists are worn rather high, skirts
are still straight and most of the
bodices are collar1ess.
Two pale blue dinner gowns were
marvels Of beauty. Each had a mar
row pointed train and white lace
trimmed the bodices. One had fold
ed f1chu Of the lace, which was most
effective.
Several afternoon gowns were espe-
cially lovely. One of these had a
narrow straight skirt, made to touch,
and with high waist line. The bodice
was of black silk yelled with chiffon
and had a deep band OF gold embroi-
derry across the front. 1t was cut
rather low at the neck and had sleeves
which came slightly below the ell
bow.
Another frock was of moleskin chif-
fon velvet, made in virtually the same
style. 1t had a band of colored en-
broidery instead Of the gold.
A third, of iron-gray velvet, was
trimmed with folds of soft silk and
embroidered with silver.
Sets of furs were on display suiting
the costumes to perfection. Regal
sets of sable and ermine, worth a
kings ransom, were worn by the
models.
Scarfs are extremely wide and
shawl-like, and muffs larger than
ever.
