Taft Choice of the Convention.

With nearly $50 of the Roosevelt
delegates declining to vote and hasten
ing away at adjournment time to tend
er to Colonel Roosevelt the nomination
of new party. the fifteenth Republi-
can National Convention, at the end of
long and tumultous session Saturday
night renominated William Howard
Taft, of OHIO, for President. and
James Schoolcraft Sherman. of New
York, for Vice President. Taft
received SCI Of the LOIS votes in the
convention, or Il more than ma
iority.
The decision of the Roosevelt people,
under the direction of their leaders, to
refrain from voting. left 10 other
candidate near the President. The
announcement of President Taft's vic
tory was greeted with cheers from his
adherents and groans and Kisses from
the opposition.
When it became absolutely certain
that Mr.. Taft would be nominated
without great difficulty, the leaders in
control Of the convention decided to
give him as a running mate his COM
panion on the ticket in 1908.
| All others dropped from the race,
and Sherman was the only candidate
regularly placed before the convention.
| A motion from New Hampshire to
make the nomination by reclamation
was declared out of order. There were
many scattering votes on the roll call
that ensued
The convention, amid much con-
fusion, adjourned sine die. At no time
was there an indication of a walk-out
by the Roosevelt delegates. They eX-
pressed their revolt by silence.
Former President Roosevelt was
nominated for President on an indie
pendent ticket IN the dying hours Of
the Republican national convention in
which he met defeat. No Vice Pesi-
DENTAL candidate was named. The
followers Of Colonel Roosevelt gather
ell in Orchestra Hall, less than a mile
from the Coliseum. and pledged their
support to the former President. In
accepting the nomination Colonel
Roosevelt appealed to the people of ali
sections, regardless of party affili-
ations, 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 nomi-
\ nation of Colonel Roosevelt was said
to be chiefly for the purpose of effect
ing ia temporary organization. Be-
ginning when call is to be issued for
q State convention in Illinois, the
work of organization will be pushed
forward rapidly, State by State.

William j. Bryan may be the candi-
date named by the Progressives to
make the fight ae ainst Judge Alton b.

considered by the Bryan and Wilson
forces shortly before the National

rary chairman and set lie the contest
cases.
Seeking to prevent the election of
Judge Parker, supporters OF Gov. Will
son instructed Robert F. Hudspeth.
National Committeeman from New
Jersey, to vote for Senator Ollie
James, of Kentucky. an avowed Champ
Clark man.
Mr.. Bryan said he would not take up
the fight on temporary chaIrmanship in
the National Committee and that it
would be fought out in the convention.
Members of the National Committee
may decide to pass upon the question
of ratification of the selection of
Judge Parker without debate.
1t was stated authOritively this
morning that the friends OF Judge
Parker had 81 votes out of the 81 on
the National Committee.
Senator Ollie James. of Ken
lucky, talked for some time with Mr..
Bryan today. after which Mr.. James
made it known that he was not a candi
date for temporary chairman and was
Of the opinion that his name would not
be presented to the committee.

mitteemaE Hall, OF Nebraska, to con-
fer with w. j. BRYAN and Alton B
Parker and their supporters with
view to preventing fight on the floor

| temporary chairman.
| This action was taken after friends
of Bryan had served notice on the
| National Committee that if the recon-
mendation for Judge Parker is sustain
ed they will nominate Mr.. Bryan on
the convention floor to oppose Parker
| for the honor.
After Judge Parker had been placed
! in nomination before the committee
several speeches for and against his
selection were made. No other nomi-
nations had been made when the COM
mittee appointed Mack and Hall and
adjourned until o'clock tonight.
The Kentucky delegation at meet
ing today announced their intention of

suggested as a candidate by the Bryan
| forces against Parker. After the dele
cation in caucus had adopted a reso-
luton pledging support to the Nation

Getting Attention,


 Tho primary object of every adver- tiser is to secure attention for his an nouncament. We learn from an em. inent authority on the psychology of advertising, who writes in a current magazine, that there are four waye in which attention may Do effected" ;" as follows:
 CD By increased relative intensity of the stlmulus.
 (2> By intrinsic interest Of tho stina. llue.
 (3) By accommodation of the senso organ involved.
 (N By prepereeption--anti preparation from within of ideattonal centers to be concerned.
 This information will no doubt be Of great value to all practical pub. licity-s eekers, and we commend it to their earnest consideration. At the same time we venture to add the ad- vice that, while they keep an eye on the relative intensity of the stimulus" !" the sense organ" and the "ideationaI centers" (whatever they are) they keep the other eye trained upon the selection of widely-circulated news paper medium that has the reputation of being closely read by intelligent buyers.-Philadelphia Record.
