TAFT AND SHERMAN.
President and Vice-President Renom-
mated at Chicago Convention.

William Howard Taft, of Ohio, at
9:25 o'clock Saturday night, was re-
nominated for president of the Unit
ed States by the Republican national
convention in Chicago.
A "valedictory" statement was read
in behalf of Col. Roosevelt asking that
his name be not presented and that his
delegates sit in mute protest against
all further proceedings.
A great majority of the Roosevelt
delegates in the Illinois and all in the
Missouri and Idaho delegations de-
clined to follow this advice, but Col.
Roosevelt's sway over the delegations
from California, Kansas, Maine, Mimi
esota, Nebraska, New Jersey, Penn
sylvania, South Dakota and West Vir-
ginia was all but absolute.
Most of the delegates from those
states announced their purpose of
helping to give Mr.. Roosevelt an in
dependent nomination at another hall
later in the evening.
President Taft received SCI of the
1913 votes in the convention, or q
more than a majority.
The decision Of the Roosevelt peo-
pie, under direction of their leader
to refrain from voting, left no other
candidate near the president. The an
nouncement of the Taft victory was
greeted with cheers from his adher-
ents and groans and Kisses from the
opposition.
The convention subsequently adj
jcurned sine die.

THE NEW PARTY.
Bandanna Handkerchief Adopted as
Battle Flag of Roose-
yeit Boilers.

The Progressive Party, born Satur-
day night, was dedicated III Chicago
Yesterday. In the presence of perhaps
500 men, some of them recognized
leaders of the movement, others mar
" onlookers, the first formal step was
taken. Gov. Hiram johnson Of Cal
ifornia, was empowered TO app Din: a
committee Of seven members 20 con-
fer with Col. Roosevelt and formulate
a plan of action.
In the opinion of the leaders, the
new party enters the field with for
midable equipment.
No definate idea of the plan to be
followed could be obtained and it wa:
said that a period of several weeks
may lapse before the program is de-
cided upon.
The bandanna handkerchir: was ad-
opted at the Roosevelt battle flag"
Most of the delegates wore eHming
bandannas tied around their arms and
others were distributed by che hun
dreds to the crowd. The 5andahna it
was explained stands for the plain
people who ordinarily use them.
Were all plain people here and this
is a movement of the plain people" ,"
said one of the delegates.
Colonel Roosevelt gave his sanction
to the "battlefag" by appearing Sat
urday night with one in his nand,
which he waved to the crowd on the
street. His daughter, Mrs. Longworth
wore a bandanna on her hat.
DR.. w. H. Nixon, of Selma, Ala, a
negro Clergyman and Roosevelt del
egate who was excluded from the
Republican convention. began 70 recite
the psalm which begins: "The Lord
is my Shepherd" The delegates arose
and repeated it with him. A prayer
by DR.. Nixon followed. Someone be-
gan to sing "'America" and in = !:lom-
ent the others were singing.
Colonel Roosevelt, while willing to
make no defnate statement On this
point, said that the committee Of Z
would be composed in part o. Demo-
cats. A report Which was clrculat-
e widely had it that a Democrat prob
anly would be named as the candidate
fr yicc-preside n or the ticket with
Gu! Roosevelt.
While some OF TIE leaders Of :hc
n uvement in public statements said
!ilat they were confident o. victory for
Col. Roosevelt, in private conversation
t..y explained that it would be i'm
pIssible for thea to have and idea di
the prospects for several weeks. They
made no secret of the fact that in their
opinion the outcome of the Democrat
ic National convention vii be Of high
Importance to them. Should Demo-
crat of the conservative type be noml-
mated they believe that they will be IN
a position to appeal strongly to pro-
eressive Democrats with the chance
of making some headway in the south.

TEN FAVOR THE COLONEL
Will Ask Each Member to Sign Pa
per Pledging His Support TO the
Nominee of Convention.

Chicago, June 24.-When the new
National Repuoncan committee was
called TO order at 10 this morning the
Taft members were slated to dominate
all the action of the committee and
prophesies were made that most-if
not all-of the Roosevelt committee
men will be forced out The elect
ion of Charles D. Hilles, president
Taft's secretary as the new chairman
was talked of by the Taft men as a
certainty. Hilles remained in Chica-
go today, as President Taft's person
al representative. President Roose-
welt planned to leave for Oyster Bay
late today, but it was not expected
that his presence here would have any
influence upon the organization of
the national committee.
OF the Roosevelt members of the
committee, William Finn, Of Pitts
burgh and William Allen White, the
Kansas editor, have resigned. Today
there were ten members of the COM
mite who favored the colonel.
Immediately following the call to
order it was planned to ask each men,
Der to sign a pledge to support the
nominee of the convention. Because
of the clause in the resolution adopt
ed before adjournment the convention
Saturday night which gives the COM
mittee itself power to fill all vacancies
"created by death or otherwise" the
ousting of the Roosevelt men was look
ed for if they refused 70 sign the
pledge.
The ten Roosevelt supporters still
in the committee are Russ Avery,
California; Frederick Hale, Maine; |.
A. Casewell, Minnesota; Borden D.
Whiting, New Jersey; W. F Brown,
Ohio; w. S. Edwards; West Virginia;
William B. Jackson, Maryland; K. 3.
Dowell, Nebraska, and Richmond
Pearson, North Carolina and c. c.
Priestley Oklahoma.
The committee will elect com
mittee from Massachusetts,. The
Deadlock in the Massachusetts dele
gation-lS for Taft and IS for Roose-
velt-prevented the reelection of Sen
ator Murray Crane. The prospects
were early today that Crane would be
reelected, and that Senator Penrose
of Pennsylvania, Arthur lvory4 or
Ohio, and Victor Rosewater of Nebras
ka. would be given their old places as
committeeman.
Chicago, June 24.-The permanent
organization of the Republican Ma
tional Committee, the disposition OF
the Roosevelt men who still hold posi-
tions as committeeman, and the work
of the organization during the coming
campaign for election will be decId-
ed by President Taft himself.
The committee adjourned today al
ter short session, the only business
transacted being the selection of
committee of nine, who will confer
with the president as soon as posi-

the Democratic National
Committee

Sions Begin Tomorrow.

Baltimore, Nd, June 24.-If the
progressives cannot agree on any
other candidate for the temporary
Craftsmanship Of the Democratic Ma
tionai Convention in opposition to
Alton B. Parker, William Jennings
Bryan will personally become their
candidate. He made this plain today
in statement issued from his rooms
in the Belvidere Hotel. Bryan said
that he hoped some one else would be
decided uuon by the progressives but
decuared that if they could not get
Together he would permit the use of
his name for the position. He also
said that he was satisfied that the
conservatives were trying to split the
progressive strength.
"If they insist on Parker there is
only one meaning that can be placed
on the action of the National Com
mittee," said Bryan. "That is, that
they want fight. We will accept the
gage and we will give them the battle
and it viii be to a finish"

ise," was the ultimatum which Will
liam Jennings Bryan issued to the

"There is no change in The situat.
ion," said the Nebraskan following g
series of conferences with his friends
"There wAl~be no compromise. A
progressive will be named temporary
chairman. Any progressive will be
satisfactory to us. have not had any
suggestion made to me as to indivi-
duals who might fill the bill, but I dc
not care who is chosen, as long as he
is progressive"
Bryan denied that he had received
any suggestion from Louis Nixon to
substitute Senator O'Gorman, Of New
York, as the chairman.
The Nebraskan was closeted early
today discussing plans for furtherine
his fight for progressiveism. John T.
McGraw National committeeman from
West Virginia and Dr. P. L. Hall, vice.
chairman Of the National committee
were two of those who talked over
battle plans.
Just prior to the assembling of the
National committee, Hall asserted

While Bryan seemed confident in hi!
belief that the reactionaries would bt
