a brief speech told his delegates to "a
home, organize State tickets, place a
ticket in each Congressional district
and then call another great national
convention at which he would accept
the nomination at the hands OF pro
gressives OF all parties.
In the regular convention Mr.. Taft
was nominated on the first ballot.
Mr.. Taft was placed in nomination
by Judge Harding, of Ohio, who ex.
tolled the virtues of the President and
scored the enemies Of the party.
The convention adopted a conserva.

forms of the Republican party in past
years.

Munsey and all of the Roosevelt dele
gates who were thrown out OF the reg

steam roller.
The Roosevelt delegates who refused
TO bolt with him comprised such lead
ers as Governor Hadley, Stubbs and
Borah. They and their delegates re-
NAMED in the regular Republican con-
vention, but did not vote.
President Taft was renominated at
the end OF a wildand riotous day which
had produced everything from argu-
ment to fist fights.
The final session of the convention
began ar 1.45. when Senator Roots

UTILITY OF EXPERIENCE.
e. r. SIBLEY

Because a man disapproves OF new
ways OF doing things, is no reason
why he should be accounted a back
number" In many ways the methods
TO which he has been accustomed all
his life, and which were instilled into
him from boyhood. are the foundation
stones upon which the newer methods
are built Their basic principle is the
same. but whereas in former days they
were intended TO meet only specific
conditions, in these later days IL is
found necessary 10 develop them suf-
fciently to cover possibilities which
were undreamed of a generation or so
ago. Experience undoubtedly is the
best teacher. and fortunate indeed is
he who can turn the lessons OF the
past to good account in the solution
OF present-day problems. To do this,
however, be must possess, besides the
advantage his experience brings, suffl.
Client insight and sufficient foresight
TO absorb something OF the newer and
more 'up-todate" ideas. Otherwise
he will find himself crowded out and
denounced as a back number" Com
mon sense should teach him that con.
ditions are constantly arising which
were never taken into consideration
before, for the reason that they never
existed, and common sense should
also teach him that the methods for.
merly in use cannot always be de
pended upon to reach these conditions.
II Is absolutely necessary for a man
to keep up his interest in the world OF
AFFAIRS and TO take part in the activi.
ties of life If he wishes to continue to
be factor in their development.
