demonstration.
Finally the patience of Chairman
Root and Sergeant at Arms Stone was
exhausted, and the police we're told to
escort Mrs. Davis away with orders to
resume her seat or leave the hall. She
chose the former alternative.
Colonel Roosevelt Pleased.
During all this uproar there were
constant rumors that the demonstra-
tion had been pre-arranged by the
Roosevelt men, and that the colonel
himself was on his way to the Coli
scum. The latter part of this certain
ly was not true, for Colonel Roosevelt
sat in his hotel room receiving bullet
ins on the proceedings. When he
heard that there was something in the
nature Of stampede for Hadley, he
said: 'I am glad of it."
Senator Depew looked on with great
interest, and said he believed the dem
onstration was entirely spontaneous,
and that it looked as though Hadley
would be a third candidate.
The uproar lasted in all nearly an
hour, and was decidedly diverting, but
did not accomplish anything. For when
it came to roll cali, the Taft forces

why didn't he stay in Europe?"
There was considerable surprise at
the silence of Iowa, in view of the
hopeful talk of the Cummins shouters
before the last session. But Wiscon-
sin made up for this loss by sending
Michael B. Olbrich, the boy orator Of
Madison, to the platform. Mr.. Olbrich
never entered an oratorical contest
without emerging with the first prize,
and at the Coliseum he endeavored
to live up to this reputation. With
mighty voice and gesture, he told the
delegates all about the long and soul
wearying fight which had been made
for progressive policies in govern
ment by a son of the Badger state.
He called forth the repeated applause
of the Wisconsin and North Dakota
delegates and the shrill screams Of
approval of a young woman in thS
east gallery who continually pounded
the bald head Of a gentleman in front
of her with small flag. But that
seemed to. be the full measure OF the
results accomplished by Mr.. Olbrich.
He spoke for an unconscionably long
time, and at last in response to re-
peated demands to name your man"

James Schoolcraft Sherman is
again the party's nominee for vice
president.
Mr. Taft was nominated on the
frst ballot at $3.50 Saturday night,
receiving SCI votes, or 21 lore than
a majority of the votes in the con-
vention.
Mr.. Sherman was the only man
placed in nomination for second
place, and he received 597 votes. The
rest were scattering or not cast.
Flattened out completely by what
his advocates denominated the steam
roller, Col. Theodore Roosevelt's
candidacy was abandoned by that
gentleman himself, and a few hours
before the balloting on nominations
began he sent to the convention hall
a request that his delegates should
refrain from voting on any other
questions whatever. This request
was obeyed by 344 delegates, who
responded present but not voting.
OF the others, lot cast their votes
for Roosevelt because they felt
bound to follow the instructions of
their constituents.

appeared in the hall a news sheet an

Another bit of excitement came
when the Massachusetts delegation
was being polled. The 1S Roosevelt
delegates refused to vote, and Chair.
man Root ruled that their alternates
should be called. This raised a fine
row and Mr.. Root received all that
comes to an unpopular umpire in a
ball game, except the pop bottles.
He stuck to his decision, as every
umpire must do, and the row grad
ually subsided.

Having given up the fight, Colonel
Roosevelt was not put in nomination.
But Ohio responded nobly for Presi-

Roosevelt Men Quit the FIaht.

Roosevelt Men Quit the Fight.
The story of the last day of the
convention is one of much disorder,
quarrels on the floor, sporadic bursts
of enthusiasm, and, during part of the
long session, swift work by the we'll
oiled Taft machine Making their
last futile fight on the seating of the
contested Taft delegates from Wash
ington and Texas, the Roosevelt dele
gates voted against the platform sub
mitted by the committee on resolu-
tions and then devoted themselves to
rather rlotous behavior, laughter at
the Taft speakers and even at Chair
man Root, and vigorous refusal to
vote.
The colonel's advice to his forces
was read to the convention by Henry
J. Allen Of Kansas and included a
bitter denunciation Of the actions of
the majority. 1t was hooted by the
Taftites, but as the table shows, 1t
was effective in most instances.
Among the states that disregarded
Roosevelt's request, Illinois stood out
most prominently. That So of its
delegates voted for the colonel was
due to state political conditions.
Pennsylvania created diversion by
casting two votes for Justice Hughes

Members of the city council declared
today that the legal tangle which threat

affair of theirs, but matter solely for
the contractor to handle
we only gave the moral obligation
of council as security for the deferred
payments said Councilman Aldine
Chambers. The officials of the De

that our charter specifically provides
that one council can not legally bind
another for debt"
Mr.. Chambers added that he did not

legation, but as to negotiating these
moral notes through bank he did not
know

build the plant and take the city's
moral pledge for s326,OOO of the total

Attorney Mayson ruled that the compa-

had been accepted until Wednesday,
and that ten days would be allowed
from that day before it would have to

Though the company, so far. has
failed to get the city's moral pledge dis

terms, its officials express confidence
that the matter will be settled before
