Washington Correspondent to
Courier-Journal says:
President Taft's routine did
not vary to-day despite the news
from Chicago. He talked with
an occasional caller, signed a few
letters and played golf this after
noon with his two sons, Robert
and Charles. 1t was Charles
first appearance on the Chevy
Chase links against his father,
and the President put up his
best game just to show him how
some strokes should be made by
a golfer of some years stand.
ing. --.
In spite of News that the con-
vention was at a point where a
nomination was in order, the
President stayed on the links un-
til long after 6 o'clock and then
Ioitered back to the White House
at the usual gait. He had
quiet family dinner in the White
House, and later Mr.. Taft sat on
the south portico and read the
convention bulletins. They were
taken over from the executive
offices one at a time and read
aloud. The President was par
ticularly interested in the news
that Col. Roosevelt was holding
a separate convention. He had
no comment to offer, however,
and heard the result from the
regular convention with the same
equanimity he has exhibited since
the fight for his nomination be.

When the balloting began
Charlie Taft assumed full con-
troll of the telegraph room at the
White House. He read each
bulletin as it came in, laughed
when he saw the President was
gaining, frowned when he wasn't,
but sent them all post haste to
his father. Miss Helen Taft
was the only one of the family
missing, and she is out of town.
Secretary Wilson and Repre-
sentative Hill. of Connecticut,
occupied seats of honor in the
main reception room at the exec

him.

The nomination of Pres. Taft
and Vice Pres. Sherman for re-
election, last Saturday, closed
the most complete political round
up in the history of American
politics and marks an epoch of
disintigration, if not a complete
overthrow, of the Republican
party. Following an established
custom of vindication, at the
hands of his party, the President
sought the second term but his
ambition met the sturdy, I'M
daunted, aggressive Roosevelt
with his host of associates rusult-
ing in the most bitter and undig-
nifed campaign ever waged in
this country. For a time it
seemed that the administration
forces were doomed to defeat
and that Roosevelt would win in
the last scoring, but there was a
power whose partisan zeal for
the President and his policies
played the game which no oppos2
ing power could resist. The
National committee, favorable to
Taft, unquestionalby was the
electric button under the thumb
of the President, through which
his nomination was made a GER
tanty and secured. 1t is not our
business nor our purpose to criti-
else or condone the acts of that
convention. Its history has
been given through the city
press as it was made and in every
chapter clouds of suspicion hung
over the victors and as given
to TIE people the most besmirch-
ed nomination ever handed an
aspirant for the presidency of
this country. On the other side
heroic efforts were made, found
ed and backed, so charged by ex-
travagant and unwarranted
claims under the name Of homes

Taft Snd Sherman.

From Sunday Courier Journal
President William Howard
Taft was renominated by the
Republican National Convention
in Chicago last night. Vice
President James S. Sherman was
named as his running mate A
platform was adopted which
took a fling at some of Col.
Roosevelt's pet principles of
government and ignored others
The convention was in session
continuously from 10 o'clock yes
terday morning until about II
o'clock last night, all the Taft
delegates being seated according
to the findings of the National
Committee, which were followed
by the Committee on Creden-
tials Only a few Of the Roose-
welt delegates participated in the
convention, reserving themselves
for the other convention which
was to name tie Colonel as their
standard bearer. Cummins and
La Toilette received votes in the
convention.
In the dying hours of the Re-
publican National Convention, in
which he had met defeat, former
President Theodore Roosevelt
was nominated for President on
an independent ticket. The con-
vention held in Orchestra Hall
launched a temporary organiza-
ton, and beginning to-day, it
will be extended State by State
with the purpose of holding a
national convention in August.
President Taft's routine did
not vary yesterday, despite the
situation at Chicago, and he re-
ceived the news of his renomi-
nation with his usual equanim-
ity. He gave out a stateme mt
saying grave danger to the ma
ton had been averted.
Senator Bradley did not make
his speech seconding the nomi-
nation of President Taft. Some
of his friends say he was taken
i'll, while others declare his speech
was too bitter in its denuncia-
ton Of Col. Roosevelt.
