lections were announced and ratified
by the convention Chairman Hilles
called a meeting of the new national
committee for organization and the
convention adjourned.
The convention was notable in po-
litical history for many things. A
man who steadfastly had refused to
seek the nomination had been chosen
it left new milestone in the paths of
both the republican and progressive
parties; it was the first republican
convention since 1883 which had been
forced to take more than one ballot
to agree upon candidate, and it has
been marked by lack of riotous DEM
onstration and nervous enthusiasm
which hithertofore has been feature
of such gatherings.
1t did not touch any OF the exist
ing records for sustained demonstra-
tons but despite the fact that in po-
litical vernacular it was wholly and
decidedly Embossed" it moved with a
precision and quietness which has moi
been equalled since the Mckinley con-
yention in Philadelphia.

Delaware and his solid block was cast
for Hughes; Illinois withdrew Sher-
man, Ohio withdrew Burton, Iowa
Withdrew Cummins, New York with
drew Root, Massachusetts, Withdrew
Weeks. Practically all these new
votes were cast for Hughes, only a
few remaining in compliment to the
favorite sons who brought them.
Then one after the other, Senator
Weeks and Senator Lodge took the
platform, pledged loyalty to the NOM
inee and asked all their supporters to
do likewise. Similar announcements
were made from all the favorite son
delegations. The final analysis Of the
nominating ballot showed that
Hughes had drawn his votes from
every state in the union and every
territory; that Roosevelt's had been
scattered over twelve states; that Du-
points five had come from South Caro-.
lima; Lodges seven from North Caro-
lima, and the final tire for Senator
Weeks had come from Massachusetts
and Missouri. 0. .
Holds to His Resolve. .-
Although the convention when il
nominated Mr.. Hughes had no word
that he would accept and no state.
ment of his position, one came along
soon afterward, but not until the con.
venfon had adjourned. The former
jus ace had kept to his discrimination
to utter no word in his own behalf
to make no announcement Of his posi-
ton on issues and to say nothing
which might be construed as becom
ing candidate while he wore tn.
robe Of justice in the worlds great
est court.
Before the ballot was taken today
Senator Smoot of Utah announced thu
report of the latest meeting of tn,
republican conferees with the con
ferees of the progressive convention
disclosing that the republican had pre-
sented the name of Mr.. Hughes fo
their consideration as a candidate OF
which both conventions could unite
He also read the reply Of the progress
sive conferees, which merely was al
acknowledgment of receipt OF the pro
lposal. Then he read Colonel Roose
velts telegram to the progressive con
vention, which had been brought t.

Before he had finished the reading
word came and was announced in the
Coliseum that the progressive con-
vention itself had not only tabled the
republican proposal of Mr.. Hughes,
but had tabled Colonel Roosevelt's
own proposal of Senator Lodge as
well. No one in the republican con-
vention really expected Colonel
Roosevelt's compromise to be ac-
cepted, neither did they feel the pro-
gressives would accept Mr.. Hughes.
There was gallery demonstration,
not so prolonged as yesterdays at
the announcement of Colonel Roose-
velt's proposition, but the delegates
section by its silence plainly showed
its indifference and if anc of the re-
publican managers entertained the
least fear OF a stampede to Colonel
Roosevelt it was dissipated at once by
every outward indication that about
the only message from Colonel Roose-
welt that could have reused the dele
gates to any grea tdegree Of enthu-
siasm would have been his acceptance
of Hughes. With that the roll call
of states began and there never was
moments doubt of the result from
the time the clerk began.
Weeks Applauded.
Senator Weeks, who came to the
convention with the greatest number
of instructed delegates and who was
of all the favorite sons considered a
foremost possibility was received with
tumultuous applause when he made
statement releasing his delegates.
Senator Lodge, known to all men
in politics as close personal friend
OF the coloneps, got reception ap.
preaching an ovation when he made
his speech seconding Hughes.
Whit the end of the balloting fol
the presidential nomination and the
official announcement by Chairman
Harding the balloting for vice presi.
dent began. In view Of Mr.. Hitch
cocks expressed preference for for
mer Senator Burton there was some
surprise when Governor Willis o.
Ohio withdrew Burton's name ane
cast the whole block of Ohio vote:
for Fairbanks. That left Burkett al
the only candidate with any pledged
strength and he was urged upon thu
convention as meeting the call Of thu
west for representation on the ticket
Begin Leaving Hall.
As the roll call proceeded whole
blocks of votes piled in for Fairbanks
and his nomination was such fore
gone conclusion among the delegates
themselves that the balloting wa
heard with difficulty.
After Chairman Harding had Off
cially announced the nomination o
Mr.. Fairbanks, resolutions wer'

third in our district primaries, instead
of to Hughes, who had run second
and who was leading in the CONVEX
ton, and the two Hughes votes on
that ballot were contributed by Bal
drige and Jansen.
The purpose of this transfer of the
two Ford votes to Cummins was to
keep the latter from slipping" as part
of the program to hold the favorite
sons long enough to let the anti
Hughes workers get busy.
Last night Gould Dietz was lament
ing that Nebraska had sent two votes
to Hughes on the second ballot and
predicting that on the third, or when
ever it left Cummins, the delegation
would show six votes for Roosevelt
to ten for Hughes, and expressing the
hope that he could get it, as he said,
"fifty-fifty," or eight each. ' Z
Figure on Six Votes.
That meant that the Roosevelt peo-
pie were figuring on taking off six
Nebraska votes without even letting
them 60 to Hughes at all, and these
votes must have been those of Ure,
Dodge, Mallery, Dietz, Barnett and
Thompson; Thompson had been talk
ing Roosevelt all the time, and / ad-
mire a man that speaks out his con-
victions, but Ure, Dodge and Mallory
had all signed the Hughes nominal
ing petition and the accompanying
statement declaring their purpose to
draft" him even against his wishes.
OF course, the dependence of the anti
Hughes people on these six votes may
have been without the sanction of
some of them. ! do not want to do
any injustice to any delegate or dele
gates, but that should set the record
straight if there. is any misunder-
standing.
The Burkett boom for vice presi-
dent was lost in the shuttle, for the
moment the cry went up for Fair
banks it was all over.
Day before yesterday Burkett told
me he had positive pledges Of the
$40 delegates who had swarmed his
headquarters in the Nebraska delcga-
| LlOH IOOIIl u ASSURE lllIl VI IllCH sup
port. ...t.- "..&
IF you have that many votes,
you've got it," told him. "And there
is no Use in doing any more" -.
"Well," he said, they have all been
promised to me and I don't know
any reason for the promises are not
good"
But such is the way of political con-
ventions, that the Burkett vote on roll
call was little over a hundred and that
of Fairbanks nearly nine hundred. His
total, however, is better than the
showing Of some of the favorite sons
of other states for president, if that
is any, consolation for Nebraska.
Burkett has had lots Of fun, and has
). gotten a lot of free advertising, and
IS not out much money, and do not
believe he will complain. Just listen
and you will hear him whooping it
up for Hughes and Fairbanks.
