GREAT VICTORY, SAYS TAFT

Washington, June 22.-In state
ment on his denomination at Chi
cago, President Taft said:
"The Importance of the great vic
tory which has been achieved can
not be overestimated. All over this
country patriotic people are breath
ing more freely that most serious
menace to our republican institu-
lions has been aVerted.
cit is not necessary to speak of
the result in November or of the is
sues which will arise between the
republican and democratic parties
in the presidential campaign to fol-
low. 1t will be time enough to do
that after the action of the Balti-
more convention. 1t is enough now
to say that whatever may happen in
November a great victory for the re-
publican party and the United States
has already been won"

certed than when the Hadley DEM
onstration started on Wednesday.
Six minutes after the start of the
demonstration the Roosevelt dele
gates started parade through the
hall with their state standards. Kan
sas led the procession and every one
of the Roosevelt states fell into line
behind them. There was a scuffle at
the Illinois place, where some of the
Taftites tried to prevent the state
standard being dragged into the fray
After twenty minutes of uproar,
the police began requesting the dele
gates to sit down and they did so re-
luctantly.
The platform was submitted to the
convention at 1885 o'clock, former
Vice President Fairbanks reading
the committees majority report.
Delegate Walter G. owen of Wis
consin read the only minority report
the declaration of principles adopt
ed earlier in the week by the La
Toilette republicans. 1t urged ma
tional initiative, referendum and re-
Call, 0m pudSlZluS the T0CdIl VI IuS
judiciary. owen moved to substi-
tute the La Toilette platform for the
majority document.
Fairbanks Immediately moved to
table that motion, and this was car
ried on a roll call vote, 666 to So.
The platform favors protective
tariff but says that there should be
some reductions, declares that the
recall of judges is unnecessary, IA
yors treaties with Russia and other
countries to protect American citi-
zens abroad, promises an inquiry into
the high cost of living and urges laws
to increase the safety of ocean
travel.
The nominating of candidates fol-
lowed the adoption of the platform
reported to the convention by the
platform committee.
Walter G.. Harding of Ohio pre-
scented the name of President Taft
to the convention. M B. Oldbrich of
Wisconsin made the chief nominal
ing speech for La Toilette.
Big demonstrations followed the
presentation of each name.

For superstitIous People.

An English paper says: There is
comfort for the superstitious. If you
were asked to select an unlucky coun-
try you would not, doubtless, think of
the United States. But almost every
emblem and a good deal of the his
tory of the United States are con-
cerned with the ominous number 10.
We knew, of course, that at the time
of the Declaration Of Independence
there were IS states and therefore 10
stars and stripes on the flag. But
now some ruthless person points out
that there is a good deal more of the
i'll Omened number in the national
emblems. The motto "E Pluribus
Unum" contains 13 letters. The
crown of Liberty has 10 stars. The
American eagle has a thunderbolt in
one of it's taIons which contains 10
darts and in the other an olive branch
of 13 leaves. AS if that were not
enough, there are 10 feathers in each
of the eagles wings.

about year ago to get married. She
came in yesterday about three o'clock.
A dozen belated lunchers had their
teaspoon battery going and as many
girls were fastening to take orders
when Irene poked her head through
the stairway door Then the door
opened a little wider, disclosing
bundle in Irene's arms. 1t was a
long bundle swathed in white. The
cashier spied the bundle first. She
jumped at Irene and dragged her,
bundle and all, into the middle of the
room. %, girls!' she cried.
Mattresses empty-handed and wait
resses bearing rapidly cooling food to
eXpectant customers responded to
that call They clustered around
Irene and peeped inside the bundle at
the scrap of a baby Irene so proudly
exhibited 'Oh-oh-oh' they said
Exultant obs they were, envious
obs wistful obs A dozen spoons
had been raised for another attack,
but at sound of those obs they we're
leveled silently. Nothing could equal
the meekness of the dozen men. In
his own line each of the dozen thought
himself of some Importance. They
had trains to catch, engagements to
keep, little indigestions that needed to
be humored, but compared with
Irene's baby they felt their own insig-
niticance, and until the infant had
been admired sufficiently not man
present had the hardihood to summon
a delinquent waitress"

William Dean Howells, at lunch
con in New York, told a Shakespeare
story.
In STatford," he began, during
one of the Shakespeare jubilees, an
American tourist approached an aged
villager in a smOck and said:
Who is this chap Shakespeare,
anyway
He were a writer, sir?'
oh, but there are lots of writer's.
Why do you make such an Internal
fuss over this one, then? Wherever
I turn, see Shakespeare hotels,
Shakespeare cafes, Shakespeare choc-
olates, Shakespeare shoes. What the
deuce did he write-muckrake maya
zine stories, attacks on the trusts, cen
sored novels?'
No, sir; or, no, sir said the aged

NEW PARTY BORN;
NOM|NATES 7. R.
Roosevelt oIIOWers Leave Re-
publican Convention to Be-
come National PrOgre--
siVes"---PIans for a
Formal Meeting.

Chicago, June 22.-The third par
H. Taft had been renominated by the
republican national convention to-
night Theodore Roosevelt was the
nominee of the national progressives,
assembled in Orchestra hall.
A little later he had accepted the
nomination and had asked those who
assisted in launching the new move
ment to convene again in six weeks
and ratify their Endorsement of his
candidacy.
The fight was on. 1t was Roose-
velt's answer to the national repub-
lican convention.
Assembled in Orchestra hall were
the delegates who had been instruct
ed to come to the republican national
convention and nominate Roosevelt.
With them were the contestants
whose causes had been thrown out
by the national committee.
They were determined, enthusiast
tic and they were flanked by a great
gathering of Roosevelt supporters,
shouting, cheering, singing, scream
ing, defiant crowd that could say
but one thing, I'VE want Teddy"
1t was simple ceremony but most
significant when viewed in its rela-
ton to the country's affairs
A resolution was passed nominat-
ing Roosevelt. He spoke in reply ac-
cepting it.
The proceeding was marked by
wild enthusiasm.
The party was born. Gov. Hadley
of Missouri, Gov. Deneen of Illinois,
Gov. Stubs of Kansas, Senator
William E. Borah of Idaho and SEN
ator Bristow of Kansas were con-
spicuous for their absence, but the
crowd cared nothing. 1t gave neither
thought or heed to them.
The people in the hall--men and
women alike felt they were able
to make the fight themselves and
they were content And when the
nominating resolutions had passed
and Col. Roosevelt had taken the
platform, it seemed as if human
strength and human voices could do
no more.
They showed it when Roosevelt
said: Il accept the nomination
Pandemonium is a mild term for
the demonstration that followed.
When Roosevelt said: Go home
