Time in August.

Chicago, June 22.-Former Presi-
dent Roosevelt was nominated for
president on an independent ticket
tonight in the dying hours of the Re-
publican national convention in which
he had met defeat.
The followers of Colonel Roosevelt
gathered in Orchestra hall, less than a
mile from the Coliseum, and pledged
their support to the former president.
In accepting the nomination Colonel
Roosevelt appealed to the people of all
sections, regardless of party affilia-
lions, to stand with the founders of
the new party, one OF whose cardinal
principles, he said, was to be Thou
shalt not steal"
Representatives of twenty-five states
composed the notification committee
which informed Colonel Roosevelt of
his nomination and in a sense stood
as sponsors for the movement.
Colonel Roosevelt, who came, into
the hall after the nominating resolu-
ton was adopted, expressed thanks
for the nomination. He said he recog-
nized the delegates present as the
lawfully elected delegates represent
ing an overwhelming majority of the

Silence Expresses Revolt.
At no time was there any indication
of a walkout of Roosevelt delegates.
They expressed their revolt by silence.
A "valedictory statement was read in
behalf of Colonel Roosevelt, asking
that his name be not presented and
that his delegates sit in mute protest
against all further proceedings.
A great majority of the Roosevelt
delegates in the Illinois and all in the
Missouri and Idaho delegations de-
cl1ned to follow his advice, but Colo
mel Roosevelt's sway over the dele
cations from California, Kansas,
Maine, Minnesota, Nebraska, New
Jersey, Pennsylvania, South Dakota
and West Virginia was all but abso-
lutte.
Most of the delegates from these
states announced their purpose of
helping to give Mr.. Roosevelt an in
dependent nomination at another hall
later in the evening.
The split in the convention occa-
STONED no surprise. 1t was but a full
hllment of predictions that had been
made during the past several days.

YOUNG GIRL LOSES HER LIFE
Dies From Burns Caused by Gas Ex-
pIosion in Cellar.

Alma Olson, the sixteen-year-old
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Lawrence
Olson of Marshall, was burned to
death in a. peculiar manner She was
sent to the cellar for vegetables for
dinner. The cellar being dark she
took a match with which to light her
way. As soon as she lighted the match
there was an explosion that shook the
house and an instant later the girl
came running from the cellar, her
clothes on fire. She ran to the front
lawn and sank to the ground. Parents
and neighbors smothered the flames
and did all they could for her relief,
but she died in a few hours. The ex-
plosion is thought to have been due to
a gas formation which may have orig
mated from a cesspool into which the
cellar is drained.

on the Ticket.
Roosevelt WILL RUN
AS AN INDEPENDENT
Co|one|'s Supporters Hold Sep
arate Meeting and Name
Their FavOrite.

Chicago, June 22.-With nearly $50
of the Roosevelt delegates declining
to vote and fastening away at ad-
journment time to tender to Colonel
Theodore Roosevelt the nomination of
a new party, the fifteenth Republican
national convention, at the end of a
long and tumultuous session, renomi-
mated William Howard Taft of Ohio
for president and James Schoolcraft
Sherman of New York for vice presi-
dent.
President Taft received SCI of the
1,078 votes in the convention, or
twenty-one more than a majority.
The decision of the Roosevelt peo.
pie, under direction of their leaders,
to refrain from voting left no other
candidate near the president. The an
nouncement of the Taft victory was
greeted with cheering from his ad-
herents and groans and Kisses from
the opposition.
When it became absolutely certain
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 COM
panion on the ticket in 1908.
All others dropped from the race
and Mr.. Sherman was the only candi-
date regularly placed before the con-
vention. A motion from New Hamp-

PLATFORM OF THE
TAFT CONVENTION
Principles on Which President
Will Seek Re- Election.

Chicago, June 22.-The platform
adopted by the Republican national
convention reafirms belief in the prin-
ciples of a protective tariff, calling for
the maintenance of import duties high
enough while yielding a sufficient rev.
enue to protect adequately American
industries and wages" 1t states that
some tariffs at present are too high
and asks for their reduction. It en-
dorses the tariff commission and con-
dennis the Democratic party for it's
tariff bills of the past session.
The platform opposes the recall Of
judges as unnecessary and unwise,"
but calls for legislation to expedite
court actions and to provide means to
simplify the process of removing a
derelict judge from Office.
1t speaks for keeping up the navy,
for encouragement of a merchant ma
r1ne and establishment of a parcels
post. 1t endorses the policy of inter-
national arbitration in justifiable con-
troversies.
It favors ga liberal policy toward
Alaska" to promote development of
its resources, standing for opening of
the coal lands under a law that will
prevent monopoly.
1t calls for continuation of c~onserva.
ton policy and for a scientific inquiry
into the causes increasing the cost of
living.

reason why I should leap into the
ditch because a lot of Republicans
have chosen to do so, when there is

To Gain Him the Nomination
at the Convention at
Chicago.
OTHERS AWAY BEHIND
Presidents Lead Insures Him
Complete Triumph at
the Convention.

WASHINGTON. April 26.-Presi-
dent Taft today has 427 delegates in
structed for or pledged to his sup
port, counting the delegates assured
him in New Hampshire and Nevada.
Rhode Island yesterday gave him a
solid delegation and its ten delegates
will vote for him at Chicago. This
is more than twice as many delegates
elected for any other candidate. In
other words the president needs only
112 more delegates to assure him the
nomination and these will easily be
forthcoming in the conventions yet to
be held
The Republicans Of the country are
reused in the support of the president
more than at any other time
In the present campaign. The
Southern delegates resent the implied
insult Of Mr.. Roosevelt's managers
that they are mere chattels to be
bought and sold, in violation of their
instructions, by the managers of any
candidate. The conservative South
abhors the planks in Theodore Roose-
velt's national platform. No less does
the North, where the leaders OF the
party, including the president, have
been reviled. resent the personal at
titude assumed by Theodore Roosevelt
In, this campaign. BY ignoring his
party and its principles, its platforms
and its traditions, by his personal at
taeks on individuals, by his plea for
Democratic and Socialist support, by
his attacks on the constitution and
the laws Of the land, he has made of
himself an issue which, in his mind,
far outweighs his obligation to the
party which twice made him preaI-
dent.
From this time on M. Roosevelt
will be compelled to answer certain
questions which will keep him ex-
planning for the balance of this cam
paign. He will not be allowed to
make the Issues and the issues he has
himself raised, including his own
egotistical self, the socialistic prln-
ciples he advocates, his support by
Wall street, the corruption in his
campaign, and his attacks on indl-
viduals will have to be met not i'll
glittering generalities. not by vitup-
Grafton and insult. not by lodging the
issue, but by "a frank statement of
fact or silence. n
