TAFT THE REGULAR NOMINEE.
Roosevelt Heads an Independent Ticket -Sher-
man Comes Back"

Chicago.-William Howard Taft oil
Ohio was renominared for president
of the United States by the convention
at the Coliseum, by 561 votes or q
more than the necessary $40.
James Schoolcraft Sherman Of New
York was renominated for vice-presi.
dent with 597 votes.
The nominations were made amid
scenes of wild confusion and at the
end of the session that was the storm
lest OF a week Of stormy sessions.
Broken and beaten at every turn,
the Roosevelt forces. who had come to
the convention on Tuesday threatening
physical violence If they could not
have their way. offered only jeers
and noise when the final victories of
the Taft forces were written into
the history of the convention and into
the political history of the nation.
Three hundred and forty-four Roose-
welt delegates obeyed the colonel's per-
sonul command and refused to vote,
while 107 spurned his orders and put
their votes into his column despite
his protest.
For the HTaft and Sherman" cam
paign, which is to begin at once, the
convention adopted platform by 666
votes, more than We're cast for either
Taft or Sherman.
The final result on vote for presi-
dent was announced at 9:35 p. m. It

session, but the Taft leaders appear.
ed little worried. They confidently
asserted that the campaign. for Taft
and Sherman will get under way at
once, and that there will be no doubt
about its triumph in November.
The fact that neither Cummins nor
the La Toilette forces joined the Roose-
welt men in refusing to vote" at the
Coliseum, and that Roosevelt himself
could control only three-fourths of his
followers did not promise any too well
for the success Of the. third party.
From the very opening of the Taft
convention, 1t was apparent that the
Roosevelt men had given up the strug-
gle against their opponents. They
had reached point where they
could laugh at their own misfortunes,
which they did to the great enjoyment
OF the entire convention.
There were whistles scattered about
the Coliseum and each advance of tho.
steam roller was preceded by a warn
ing toot. All the contested delegates
were given their seats, with hardly
moan from the Roosevelt forces.
There was a story uppermost among
them to the effect that if Speaker
Champ Clarke is not nominated at Bal
tirnore by the democrats, William R.
Hearst Of New York, is to join the
Roosevelt movement for third party.

Union League ball park, when the
newly organized Washington team of
the United States League will take on
the Cleveland team, also newly organ
ized, in the first game that either will
have played for more than q week.
Cleveland and Washington have been
laboring under financial difficulties for
about ten days, during which time
neither CLUB has pursued its regular
schedule. Many of the original players
of each team have severed connections
with the outlaw project and each feels
that his baseball career has been much
benefited by the experience.
Owner Mockabee of the local organ
ization has his scouts busy today cor
railing every likely looking player on
the sand lots Of the city and he expects
10 have a fast bunch of boys at the
Northeast Park TO meet the Cleveland
club next Monday.
