could not deliver anything like their
full strength If any other man were
named. To this the Republican COM
mittee made no response, only asking
that 1t be continued.
Candidates Are Named.
Time was growing short, and the
leaders now proceeded to the presenta-
ton of candidates. Mr.. Hughes was
first on the list, because Arizona yield
ed to New York, and Root followed.
The demonstration for neither was up
to expectations. and Weeks received
no more applause. Illinois and Ohio
and Indiana woke things up lot for
Shoman. Burton and Fairbanks, re-
spectively. but the audience was wait
ing, because the word had gone around
that Senator Fall of New Mexico was
to place Roosevelt In nomination, and
everyone was eager to see what would
happen then. Fall made 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
fashion which every candidate seemed
to think 1t necessary to follow this
year Each of them had a lady yell
leader in one of the galleries. Some
of them were pretty and some of them
were only energetic. Mr.. Roots
cheermaster Just opened her mouth at
frequent interyals-in fact. when she
got the signal from Job Hedges-and
let out 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-
half Of Colonel Roosevelt.

ready to give assistance and informa-
ton, 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 small organ on which an
other played popular airs, and as they
proceeded through the crowds they
soon collected string OF snake dan
GERS.
Citizens Were HospitabIe.
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
flton club, which kept virtual open
house throughout the week, with free
refreshments and the services of "a
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
a good many women among their dele
gates And the women's party conven-
ton 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 like occasion. The
prices scared until $500 for 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 ivened up.
and on the expectation that candi-
date would be nominated Friday the
price of the pasteboards 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.
1t 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
tickets was large.

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 safe and sane ticket
for presentation to the sovereign
voters Of the nation, the Republican
leaders who devised 1t don't know how
to make one. They put 1t forth in the
full confidence that it will command
the SURFACES of majority Of the cleo
tors next November and that 1t 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 a demon
stration that was as safe and sane as
the candidate. Everybody stood up
and cheered.
Saturday afternoon MIR. Hughes sent
a telegram to Chairman Harding &C.
cepting the nomination, and at the
same time he resigned from the Su-
preme court of the United States.
Justice Hughes letter of resigna-
ton, sent to the White House by mes.
senger contained one brief sentence.
1t said:
Il hereby resign the office of asso-
ciate justice of the Supreme court of
the United States. l am. sir. respect
fully yours,
CHARLES e. HUGHES"
The selection OF Mr.. Fairbanks for
the position which he once before
filled with distinction required only
one ballot. and soon thereafter the
convention adjourned sine die, leaving
the Indiana delegation glued to the
long distance telephone endeavoring
to persuade the Tall Sycamore of the
Wabash to accept the honor thus sum-
marily thrust upon him.
Final Session Was Interesting.
uc SlOTy VI the Hudl 6cS6lOU VI tu0
convention. on Saturday. is rather in
teresting because of the way in which
its developments were 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 room of the Chicago club,
and the first thing Chairman Harding
did was to call for 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 Progressives 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 offer to unite
with the Republicans on Senator Hen
n Cabot Lodge Of Massachusetts.

aSlQ0. Inc OFQer came WQen great
many were outside the hall for lunch
and they were unable to get back to
their seats.
To make a bad matter worse, while
holders Of proper credentials argued
and battled with the police in vain,
shouting their indignation and trying
futilely to send word to Sergeant at
Arms Stone, the ward workers were
slipping in by the hundred, entering
through the emergency hospital door,
where Doctor Robertson. the city
health commissioner. and his aids
were stationed.
Mayor Thompson appeared at the
Coliseum shortly after the doors were
closed
"Who ordered the doors barred?"
he was asked.

piled.
How does the fire department fig
ure in this outrage?" the inquirer
asked
"Mr. Stone asked for protection. He
said there were 5000 too many people
In the building already"
What do you know about the green
tickets?"
The mayor walked away.

And after what we got, we do
Not need more punishment from you!

And is too bashful yet to pray.

He earns his keep by working days
And if there is an angel there
Who might like him and you can spare

Father AS A Parent

The Child's Welfare Comm;tte. y,
GAINESVILLE has the following to saw in
the Gainesville Sun:
II | were asked what is tho mos,
nesected in child's education, ]
SHOULD answer, "The Child's Father. I"
for years we have been practicine
a hino or mothercult. There has been
inuch stress laid on motherhood. the
privilege of mothers, the duties Of
inolners' and we have become over.
estimated in that direction. The
'ning has gone SO far, however, having
practically all the responsibilities and
eiories and duties and rewards into
the mothers hands-that now a new
writer's or educators are troubled at
"nat seems the injustice to the
fathers.
lhls brings us to the fathers side
OF the question. The influence of q
mans companionship in a child's life
is very much needed. There is much
TO be said of the fathers too frequent
disregard of his responsibilities in the
chiid $ life. 1t is easy to ignore them;
very easy to neglect them. Other
matters seem pressing; more import
ant But they never really. Here is
the most important task and the most
! immediate:
Inc child naturally given the right
to 90 so would love his father and
look up to him even more than to his
mother, and when he is harsh, brutal,
selfish, egotistical, authoritative with.
out understanding he hurts and mars
the child's life more than a selfish and
misunderstanding mother. Somehow
the child can forgive her more readily
than he can his father. But when the
father fails-the one who should be
the childs ideal-whent the father is
weak, unwise, selfish; when he fails
of his duty then the child's whole
world seems to totter and he is robbed
Of his birthright
1t is every fathers duty to think
OF this and to question himself. Is he
meeting his responsibilities or neglect
ing them? Has he that place in his
childs life which he should have? And
though it might be no harm for him
to remember how much by his failure
or neglect he robs himself, that is a
matter Of secondary Importance; he
has robbed his children more; he
whose privilege it was; whose duty 1t
should have been; so lavishly to en-.
rich them.
Perhaps we are mending our ways
little, for one sees an article from
time to time concerning this import.
ant relationship between the child and
its father. There are also occasional
fathers meetings." and the most
helpful signs of all, there continues to
appear in increasing numbers books
on childhood written by men. It is
time the fathers were walking to their
duty and seeing tina THEY have an i'm
portan part in the lives Of their chill.
