A substitute resolution indors1ng
Theodore Roosevelt was offered by
w. S. Ketchlun, of the Eleventh ward.
This precipitated a warm discussion.
Only one other man besides Mr..
Ketchum voted for Roosevelt.
United States Senator Briggs made
a brief speech In which he praised
Taft. He said In part:
President Taft has lone things that
no other man could nave DONE" de-
clared the Senator. Before he was
President he was given the, most deli
cate missions to perform and the re-
suits have ~redounded to the glory and
the greatness of the country. AS Pres
ident has has carried this further. His
record speaks for itself. In the light of
what we know of him, both from word
and Decd what else can we think of
but to renominate and to elect him tri-
umphantly?
1t was her that the unexpected
move to indorse former Governor
Murphy for the Vice-Presidency came.
Frederick Manners, of the Fourth
Ward, moved the Endorsement and it
was taken up Justify by the voice of
every man present. It seemed q spon-
taneous enthusiasm when the hall rang
with the cry, 'Three cheers for Frank.
lin Murphy, our next Vice-Presidenti"
Chairman Dalrymple, however, asked
that the motion be withdrawn. The
former Governor was present on an
other mission, he said, and the resolu-
ton would embarrass him under the
circumstances. He urged that the mat
ter of Endorsement be taken up at u
subsequent meeting solely on this
| ground. The author of the resolution
did consent to withdraw, but his as
sertion follows:
81 will withdraw the resolution, but
I'll say that the Governor looks en-
tirely pleased"
The former Governor put in a mod
est disclaimer. He said his chief wish
is to see President Taft renominated
and reelected.
81 have known practically every
President since Lincoln said Cover
nor Murphy. SIN all that goes to
make up greatness as a President, from
what he has accomplished, by the fig
ure he had made, Taft is in my opin-
ion second to none He wants q re-
NOMINATION. dAfo a icSioCtlo1 anu ne
is entitled to 1t. He is a great states
man, who is also a man, and the coun-
try wants and needs such a type Of
| man."
e. G. Browning, representing the
Second district of the Ninth Ward,
was chosen to the county COMMITTEES
at tho meeting. This was an indorse-
ment of the recommendation Of the
Ninth Ward Executive Committee,
naming him to fill the from
that district.
After the county committee meeting
Mr.. Murphy. Senator Briggs, County
Chairman Dalrymple, Frank ]. Book,
County ounsel Benjamin f. Jones,
Secretary John r. Flavell and other
officers Of the county committee. went
to the reception for Messrs. Briggs and
Murphy and Former United States
Senator John Kean at the William H.
Taft Republican Club in the Ninth
Ward. Senator Kean had already ar
rived there. The clubhouse was
crowded to the doors when the guests
arrived, probably 300 persons being in
the building. A large delegation of
members of tbs county committee
came subsequently and the guests of
honor were kept busy at a handshak-
Ing bee for almost an hour. The Taft

shown at the county committee for
their denomination of the President.
