Have Little Show at Prize-Ad-
journed at 1890 p. m, Saturday.

Convention Hall, Chicago-With
nearly $50 of the Roosevelt delegates
declining to vote, and Fastening away
at adjournment time to tender to Colo
mel Roosevelt the nomination of a new
party, the 18th national republican
convention, at the end of a long and
tumultuous session, Saturday night re-
nominated William Howard Taft of
Ohio for president and James School
craft Sherman of New York for vice
president.
President Taft received SCI of the
1918 votes in the convention, or 21
more than majority.
The decision of the Roosevelt people,
under direction of their leader, to re-
frain from voting, left no other candi-
date near the presidency. The an
nouncement of the Taft victory was
greeted with cheering from his adher-
ents and groans and Kisses from the
opposition.
When it became absolutely certain
early Saturday that Mr.. Taft would be
nominated without great difficulty, the
leaders in control of the convention
decided to give him as a running mate
his companion on the ticket in 1908.
All others dropped from the race and
Mr.. Sherman was the only candidate
regularly placed before the convention

the nomination by reclamation was de-
clared out of order. There were many
scattering votes on the roll call that
ensued The convention amid much
confusion adjourned sine die.
At no time was there any indication
of q walkout of Roosevelt delegates.
They marked their revolt by silence.
In the confusion just before adjourn
ment a resolution was adopted giving
the national committee power to de-
clare vacant the seat of any man on
the committee refusing to support the
nominees of the regular convention of
1912. Sherman IS vote was 597.

GENERAL OR0ZC0 ASKS The
FEDERALS To PATROL
CHIHAUHAU.
He Plans to Block Plans of Dis
gruntled Fanatics to Loot and De-
stroy-Mexicans Fear Mob Rule
Expected Big Battle Will Not Take
Place-U. S. Soldiers Discharged.

OCuCldl doCudl OIOLCOJ
the rebel chief, has decided to ask Gen.
Heurta, the federal commander, advance
ing northward with 5000 men, to agree
to the policing of this city by rebel
garrison whose neutrality should be re-
spected by the government. Though
declining to admit that he is contem-
plating an evacuation, General Orozco
says he did not wish to submit the city
with its numerous foreign residents to
the orgies of a fanatical mob.
Expect Guerrilla Warfare.
The garrison at Jaurez may be the
first to evacuate and begin guerrilla
warfare tactics.
1t virtually is certain that there will
be no big battle at Bachimba, 46 miles
south of here, as has been expected.
The rebels may put up lively fight
for brief interval to hold the federals
back, but an orderly retreat really be-
ing planned, together with the destruc-
ton of every bridge and culvert be-
tween Bachimba and Chihuahua fur
Their to delay the government advance.
Efforts to convert into cash gold bull
lion confscated within the last few
days indicates the desperate straits of
the rebel army. Discomfort within the
rank and at headquarters is also APP
parent.
Mob Violence Is Feared.
When General Orozco evacuates the
city, it is feared that certain leaders
will satisfy grudges and that the dis
gruntled element will seek recourse in
mob violence. 1t is in anticipation of
this that General Orozco wishes to
leave 200 or 800 men and officers here,
with the understanding that on the en-
try here of General Huerta IS federal
forces the garrison be allowed to de-
part with its arms.
This dispatch escaped the censorship
of the federal authorities.
Foreigners Are Released.
Officials at rebel headquarters are
retlcent as to their plans, but the in
tention to send an emissary to General
Huerta to negotiate for the possible
abandonment of Chihuahua is taken to
mean, in connection with other symp-
toms of Reorganization here, that the
Mexican revolution will pass in few
days from an organized revolt against
the Madero government to guerrilla
warfare, uncontrolled and irresponsible.
Significance attaches to granting of
honorable discharges to Sam Drobin of
Philadelphia; Tracy Richardson of La
mar, Mo-, and Jack Zimmerman of Pu-
laski, Pa, three American soldiers, who
had handled the artillery for the rebel
columns under General Campo, operat-
ing recently around Torreon. The
Americans, after the southwestern cam
paign, returned here, but decided Ito
abandon soldering in the rebel army
with its present outlook Most of the
foreigners fighting with the rebels have
asked for and been granted discharges.

pie and they received him
gladly. ;t was a triumphal entry
into the community which had
known him from boyhood and the
demonstration accorded him was re.
markable.
Starting at ceredo there was a
large crowd assembled and to these
a ten-minute talk was given. All
along the line the crowds were sur
prisingly large and enthusiasm was
unbounded.
IAN incident which occurred at
Dickson, Wayne county, was char
acteristic. In an audience of 200
farmers there was seen a grizzled
veteran OF the Union army carrying
the Stars and Stripes and attended
by a score of school children, carry
ing miniature flags. The incident
as DR.. Eatield put his arms around
the aged veteran brought both tears
and cheers.
Through the farming commune
ties Of Wayne county the attendance
at the meetings was surprisingly
large. In Mingo, Dr.. HatHeld's old
home county, the people along the
line simply took a holiday and
turned out enpasse to pay their re-
spects to their favorite, and assured
him Of their love and support.
Many way stations not billed for
speeches furnished crowds of enthu-
siastic people. to whom the candI-
date spoke from the rear platform.
The trip through Wayne and Mingo
counties was triumphal progress
for the candidate.
AT Williamson an immense crowd
had collected and here DR.. Hat
field was given a tremendous ova-
ton.
AT almost every station women or
little girls presented Dr. Hatfield
with bouduets and garlands.
