the general public than their faces, but
who are usually to be seen when any
thing big like a national convention is
going on. They do not wax especially
enthusiastic over the usually Fictitious

nothing gets away from them, and 1t

plank calling for an embargo on the

~ FOR PRESIDENT
CHARLES EVANS HUGHES.
FOR VICE PRESIDENT
CHARLES WARREN FAIRBANKS.

Chicago.-As exclusively predicted
by 497,365 persons. the Republican
party in convention assembled in Chi
cago selected Associate Justice
Charles E. Hughes as its standard
bearer in the campaign Of 1916.
Contrary to the expectation OF al
most everybody and to his own de-
sires, Charles Warren Fairbanks of
Indiana was chosen for the second
place.
II that Is not a safe and sane ticket
for presentation TO the sovereign
voters of the nation. the Republican
leaders who devised II don't know how
10 make one. They put IL forth in the
full confidence that It will command
the suffrages of a majority OF the cleo
tors next November and that II would
receive the Endorsement OF Colonel
Roosevelt and most of his Progressive
followers At least, they asserted that
they had the aforesaid full confidence.
The nomination OF Mr.. Justice
Hughes. which was accomplished on
the third ballot. was received by the
throng in the Coliseum with demon.
stration that was as safe and sane as
the candidate. Everybody stood up
and cheered. -.
Saturday afternoon Mr.. Hughes sent
telegram 10 Chairman Harding ac.
cepting the nomination. and at the
same time he resigned from the Su.
preme court OF the United States.
Justice Hughes letter Of resigna-
tion, sent TO the White House by mes.
senger, contained one brief sentence.
II said:
Il hereby resign the office OF asso-
ciate justice OF the Supreme court OF
the United States. ] am, sir, respect.
fully yours,
CHARLES L. HUGHES"
The selection OF Mr.. Fairbanks for
the position which he once before
filed with distinction required only
one ballot. and soon thereafter the
convention adjourned sine die, leaving
the Indiana delegation glued TO the
long distance telephone endeayoring
20 persuade the Tall Sycamore OF the
Wabash to accept the honor thus sum-
marily thrust upon him.
Final Session Was Interesting.
The story Of the final session OF the
convention, on Saturday. is rather in.
teresting because OF the way in which
itL developments we're concerned with
the course pursued by Theodore Roose-
welt and with the doings OF the Pro
gressive convention in the Auditorium.
All night long the conference commit.
tees OF the two conventions had been
closeted in a room Of the Chicago club,
and the first thing Chairman Harding
did was TO call for a final report from
the Republican committee. Mr. Smoot
OF Utah informed the convention that
his committee had submitted TO the
Progressives the name OF Justice
Hughes, even as the Bull Moosers the
day before had submitted that of T. r.
that the Progressiyes had then re
ceived from the colonel a long tele
gram, which he read, earnestly plead
ing for harmony and united action
and suggesting that they ofier to unite
with the Republicans on Senator Hen

ready TO give assistance and informa-
tion, he permeated the press section
and earned the blessings Of the news
paper boys as he has done before on
like occasions.
Downtown in the hotels music
played large part in the efforts Of the
various clans of boosters. Nearly
every headquarters had it's band or
orchestra and the Burtonites brought
big glee club from Columbus. Ohio.
Sherman also had a large band OF
singers, and Marching Through
Georgia" became his official song.
The Fairbanks men, naturally, adopted
"On the Banks OF the Wabash" and
its strains could be heard far into the
night.
One individual appeared carrying on
his chest a small organ on which an
other played popular airs, and as they
proceeded through the crowds they

GERS.
Citizens Were Hospitabe.
The citizens Of Chicago tried hard
to uphold the reputation of the city
as the convention city of the country
and to make up for the rough deal
handed out by the weather man. There
were numerous fetes of one kind or an
other planned for the pleasure of both
man and woman visitors, and though
the continuous rain caused the 'aban-
donment OF some of these, most of
them were highly successful. Notable
among the entertainers was the Ham
ilton club, which kept virtual open
house throughout the week, with free
refreshments and the services Of ia.
nous singers and vaudeville artists
On Wednesday night the Hamiltonians
invited all visiting newspaper men to
partake of their hospitality, and the
same night the Press club gave a mid
night dinner and entertainment for
the correspondents.
The Progressives even more than
the Republicans INDUCED in social
pleasures, partly because there were
good many women among their dele
gates. And the women's party conven-
tion and gatherings Of suffragists all
contributed to the society aspect of
the week.
Before the convention opened there
was the greatest demand for tickets
ever known on a like occasion. The
prices scared until $500 for a set
looked cheap and often was refused.
The opening day was SO lacking in
popular interest that the price began
rapidly to drop and tickets for the
Thursday session could be had for
$3.50 each. Then things livened up,
and on the expectation that a candi-
date would be nominated Friday the
price OF the pastehoards jumped up
again, The shameful flooding OF the
hall with green tickets by the local
politicians rather discouraged those
who had paid out considerable sums
for genuine admission cards, but on
Saturday morning the trade was brisk
and the prices good.
II did not take long for the people
to find out that there were livelier
scenes in the Auditorium than in the
Coliseum, the early days of the con-
vention. and the demand for Moose

Candidates Are Named.
Time was growing short, and the
leaders now proceeded to the presenta-
tion OF candidates. Mr.. Hughes was
first on the list, because Arizona yield.

The demonstration for neither was up
to expectations, and Weeks received
no more applause. Illinois and Ohio

spectively, but the audience was wait
that Senator Fall OF New Mexico was
TO place Roosevelt in nomination, and
everyone was eager to see what would
happen then. Fall made a stirring
speech, and the galleries rose to the
occasion, though most Of the delegates
merely looked on curiously. 1t really
was the big noise OF the convention to
date.
Back in 1912 when the handsome
Mrs, Davis acted as cheermaster for
the Roosevelt demonstration she set a
fashion which every candidate seemed
to think it necessary to follow this
year Each OF them had lady yell

OF them were pretty and some OF them
were only energetic. Mr.. Roots
cheermaster Just opened her mouth at
frequent intervals-in fact, when she
got the signal from Job Hedges-and
let out a series of piercing shrieks.
Later she changed her vote on the
second ballot" for then she was found
TO be emitting similar screams in be-
