the scene that always accompaE-
les the eliminating point of a
national convention.
Immediately after the formal
announcement, by Senator Root,
of the nomination of President
Taft, the roll call for nomi-
nations for Vice President was
announced.
Alabama yielded to New York
and J. Van Vechten Alcott took
the platform to renominate Vice
President Sherman. Alcott
speech did not last three minutes,
and it was received without en-
thusiasm. Harry Daugherty,
for Ohio. merely moved a second
for Sherman's nomination.
Chicago, June %. - Former
President Roosevelt was nomi-
mated for President on an indie
pendent ticket Tonight, in the
dying hours of the Republican
national convention in which he
had met defeat.
In accepting the nomination,
Col. Roosevelt appealed to the
people of all sections, regardless
of party affiliations, to stand with
the founders of the new party,
one of whose cardinal principles,
he said. was to be Thou shalt
not steal."
The Informal nomination of
Col. Roosevelt was said to be
chiefly to effect a temporary or.
ganization. Beginning to,mor-
row, when a call is to be issued
for a State convention in Illinois,
the work of organization will be
pushed rapidly State by Safe.
At a later time, probably early
in August, it is iptented that a
national convention shall be held.
Col. Roosevelt, in accepting the
nomination tonight, said he will
ingly would step aside it should
be the desire of the new party
when organized to select another
standard bearer.

For the Supreme Court.

Under the primary system,
candidates are called upon to
state to the electorate the reasons
Of their candidates.. My candi-
dacy for the Associate Judge
ship Of the Supreme Court Of
Louisiana is prompted and based
on the belief that there should
bea change in the method Of
reaching decisions by the Su-
preme Court. Be the cause
what it may. it is undeniable that
under the present system, the
litigant obtsins the opinion Of
only the Judge on the law and
Tie facts, whereas be is abso-
lutely entitled to the judgment of
~ Ave. In saying this, let it be
we'll understood that / cast no
reelection on the Court as now
constituted; the evil, however,
exists and should be corrected.
Hfurther legislation is necessary
L 1hould be enacted at once. i
trust ny candidacy will direct
ppblic attention to this state Of
= lirs and bring about the de-
sired results. In common with
every one Of my profession, =
have = lsudable ambition to be q
member Of that distinguished
court. and this, perhaps. is ac-
.centusted by the fact that should
the people see proper to choose
me ! will be the third generation
Of my family to serve on the

WILSON LEAVES
 GREATLY PLEASED : WITH RECEPTION
Presidential Candidat e Reaches New York In Cheery Spirits By senti- ment In New England.

New York, Sept 2s-In New York, today. after a trip through New Eng land, Governor Wilson said he felt that he had at last "arrtved'' in po1i- tics. When I ran for governor of New Jensey,'' he said, '' a man said, How you Doc?' and I thought I was 8, real one. When railway switch1nan the other day yelled, You are all right Woody I was even more Connecticut man said Say, you're all right kid I knew I had arrived. .
 The governors good h1Inor reflect ed his sa tisfaction with his New Eng- land trip, in which he spoke to more than a5.000 people in little more than two days.
 Today, he said, he would attend 10 some personal matters long neglected and tonight he will speak at the col legelnen's Wilson and Marshall league dinner to Chairman William W. Mo Combs at the Hotel Astor.
 3I feel immense gratified and en- couraged by the reception I encoun- tered in New England Governor Will son said. ''I was especially impress the big crowds of people seemed to take it for granted that the Demo cratic ticket would be elected. That seemed mighty significant to me-.
 Everywhere the candidate went. ex- cept Boston, where he arrived very late at night, there were crowds in the SLTeeLS ana every nall where ne spoke was filled to overflowing.
 From Bridgeport to Stamford. Ho1n- CT s. Cummings, Connecticut National committeeman, his wife and sister travelled with the governor and it was the first time the private ear had been invaded by woman. Gov. Wilson sho wed them through the car and when the exploring party looked into the compartments of the newspaper cor respondents. the governor said: You see, we need the feminine broom here's
 In the dirninutive kitchenette. the visitors espied some lemons which re- minded the candidate of a story.
 "A friend of mine" he said, had what I think the best definition of an optinisst I ever heard. He said that an optirnist was the man who could make lemonade out of all the lemons handed him.
 Acting Chairman McAdo0 and Hem ry Merganthal, chairman of the finance committee, were on the car and Mc- sAdoo was Eprawled on a lounge. Get up Much Adoo' and meet the ladies' '' was the governors introduction.
