his companion on the ticket in 1908.
All others dropped from the race,
and Mr.. Sherman was the only can
didate regularly placed before the
convention motion from New
Hampshire to make the nomination
by acclamation was declared out of

votes on the roll call.
The convention, amid much confu-
sion, adjourned sine die.
At no time was there an indication
of n walkout of Roosevelt delegates
They EXPRESSED their revolt by silence.
In the confusion just before adjourn

Taft's Statement.
WASHINGTON, June 22.-President
Taft tonight made the following state
ment
"a national convention of one of
the great parties is ordinarily impor~
tant only as a preliminary to a ma
tlonal campaign for the election of a
president. The Chicago convention
lust ended is much more than this
and is in itself the end of precon-
vention campaign presenting a crisis
more threatening and issues more I'M
portant than those of the election
campaign which Is to follow between
the two great national parties. The
question here at stake was whether the
republican party was to change its
attitude as the choice Of the conserva-
tor of the nation of constitutional rep
resentative government and was to-
weaken the constitutional guarantees
of life, liberty and property and all
other rights declared sacred in the
bill of rights by abandoning the prin-
ciple of the absolute independence OF
the judiciary essential to the main
tenance of those rights. The cam
paign carried on to seize the republi-
can party and make at the instrument
of reckless ambition and the unsettling
of the fundamental principles OF our
government was so sudden and uneX-
Iected that time was not given clearly

BOY FALLS TO DEATH
DROPS 2,Co0 FEET FROM BAL
LOON AT FLINT, MICH.
Released bangles From Rope
as Thousands Scream.

Flint, Mich, Aug. 31.-His foot
caught in the guy rope of balloon.
Chester Belts, aged fourteen years,
son of Mr.. and Mrs Bert Belts living
! in this city, was carried 1000 feet in the
air and then dropped through the roof
of barn. He died while being
rushed to hospital The tragedy &C.
CURED at the fair grounds and 5000
Mortified spectators saw the boy
plunge to death.
Among the shuddering thousands
who watched the tragic accident
were the lads father and mother.
from whom he had wandered in boy
ish desire to be near the center of
the attraction offered by the balloon
list. They did not know the swinging
fern was that of their son until, with
others of the crowd, they rushed TO
the spot where the crumpled little
oody lay.
Then the mother tainted and the
father. with tears streaming down hts
cheeks, turned from his dead to care
for his living.
The youth was standing near the
Dag when the word to cast off was
given. One Of the ropes caught his
foot and, evidently too frightened to
scream, he was drawn rapidly toward
the sky.
The balloonist, Abner Amsbill, of
Lansing, made frantic efforts to pull
the lad to the trapeze upon which he
sat.
Closer and closer the little form
was brought to the bar which meant
comparative safety when there was a
shrek from the watchers as, turning
over two or three times, it shot
toward earth.
