that the balloting should take its
regular course. Altho the c0nven-
ton when it nominated Mr.. Hughes,
he had, nor would, announce that he
would accept and gave no statement
of his position, one came soon after
wards, but not until the convention
had adjourned.
Hughes Made No Statement.
The former. justice had kept to
his determination to utter no word
in his own behalf, to make no new
announcement of his position on is
sues, and to say nothing which
might be considered as booming a
candidate while he wore the robe OF
a justice of the worlds greatest
court.
Before the ballot was taken today
Senator Smoot of Utah, announced
the report of the latest meeting of
the Republican conferees with con-
ferees of the Progressive convention,
disclosing that the Republicans had
presented the name of Mr.. Hughes
for their consideration as candi-
date on which both conventions
could unite. He also read the reply
of the Progressive conferees which
merely was an acknowledgment of
the receipt of the proposal.
Roosevelt Suggested Lodge.
Then he read Colonel Roosevelt s
telegram to the Progressive conven-
tion, suggesting Senator Lodge. Be-
fore he had finished reading, word
came and was announced in the Col
iseum that the Progressive conven-
ton itself had not only tabled the
Republican proposal of Mr.. Hughes,
but had tabled Colonel Roosevelt s
own proposal of Senator Lodge as
we'll. With the end of the balloting
for presidential nomination and the
official announcement by Chairman
Harding, the balloting for vice pres
ident began.
Fairbanks Votes in Blocks.
The roll-call proceeded and whole
blocks of votes piled in for Fair
banks and his nomination was such
foregone conclusion among the del
egates that they began leaving the
hall and causing such confusion that
the balloting was heard with diff
Guilty. The convention was notable
in political history for many things.
A man who steadfastly had refused
to seek the nomination had been
chosen. 1t left new milestone in
paths of both Republican and Pro-
gressive parties. 1t was the first
Republican convention since 1888
which had been forced to take more
than one ballot to agree upon a
candidate, and it had been marked
by lack Of riotious demonstration
and nervous enthusiasm, which hith-
erto has been feature Of such gath
erings.
