Vice Presidents Address.
Vice President Jamts s.. Sherman in
accepting the vice pres dental nomina-
ton Of the republican party, said in part:
Gentlemen Of the committee. you rep
resent the forty-eight states of the union
and the 100000 republican voters in our
wide domain. You bear the commission
Of the convention, which representing
them, met in Chicago In June. The an
mails of Amer can parties do not record
the proceedings of a political gathering
conducted with more openness, fairness,
deliberation, sobriety and worthy purpose
than that for which you speak.
Not deceived by the clamor Of those
who attempted to bolster up claims with
out basis, by hundreds of contests resting
on a foundation so flimsy that In the
light of investigation most of them melted
away like snow in furnace and were
rejected by quite or nearly an unanimous
vote, the convention adopted platform
that rings true for patriotism and con-
stitutional government and worthily be-
slowed a denomination upon our present
chief executive.
"Our party has never before conferred
a second nomination for the office OF wee
president upon any man. This distinction
was not sought by me, but, unsolicited, 1t
is the more appreciated. AS a loyal re-
publican stand squarely upon the party
platform.
II approve the admirable statement OF
republican principles and achievements
made in the address accepting the no1nl-
nation for president by William Howard
Taft. Upon that platform and associated
with President Taft, l gratefully accept
the renominatijn.

THOUSANDS GREET
 TAFT AT WHITE HOUSE
Time HOnOred New Years Re-
 CeptiOn Success.

The president and Mrs. Taft held the time honored New Years reception at the White House, about 4,OO0 persons attending.
 For more than three hours a long line of callers ranging in frank from Vice President Sherman and the rep resentatives of foreign governments to ordinary folk without official standing and of every age, color and condition of life passed before the chief magts- trate and the first lady of the land. wishing them happy new year.
 MT. Taft stood the ordeal. which is one of the most trying that the presi- dent has to undergo, without giving much evidence of physical fatigue. Mrs. Taft, however. saved herself in every way possible, occasionally sit ting down to rest and leaving her daughter Helen to represent her in the receiving line.
 If President Taft had anything to worry him one would never have thought it. He seemed the happiest person in the large crowd, with a smile continually on his face and a cheerful word for every one.
 Vice President Sherman was the first to shake hands with the president He greeted MT. Taft cordially and chatted with him for a moment or two.
 Next came the members of the cab inet, headed by Secretary Knox. The members of the diplomatic corps, at tired in official uniforms of gorgeous colors. added a picturesque setting to the ceremony. The diplomats were led by the Right Hon. James Bryce, the British ambassador. who is dean of the corps in the absence of Ambassa- dor Hengelmuller of Austria Hungary and Ambassador Jusserand of France. both of whom are absent from Wash ington.
 Following the members of the diplo- matic corps were members of the su- preme court, next came the judges of the commerce court, of the custom court and other judicial bodies.
 Then the senators. representatives and delegates in congress passed be- fore MT. Taft. Then came the army, navy and marine corps officers in full dress uniform.
 MT. Taft stopped the line every now and then to chat for a moment with some officers with whom he had been closely associated when he was secre- tary of war.
 The line extended from the north west gate of the White House. along Pennsylvania avenue, to the front of the state. war and navy department building. D., .....
 The secret service men were espe- cially active while the public recep- ton was in progress. Boxes and sus. picious looking packages were tabooed. and no one carrying them was allowed near the president. There was no un- toward incident, however, to mar the ceremony.
