A committee appointed by this com

We are devoted to the ideal of honorable
peace. We wish to promote all wise and

our abiding ideals there is no danger of
militarism in this country. We have no

In his letter of acceptance Mr..
Hughes says:

sideration. You voice the demand for a
dominant, thoroughgoing Americanism

sential to our peace and security, and to

me to the service of our country. There

l stand for the firm and unfinching
maintenance of all the rights of American
citizens on land and sea. / neither i'm

But it is more regretably true that in
our foreign relations we have suffered in
calculably from the weak and vacillating
course which has b.en taken in regard to
Mexico, a course lamentably wrong with
regard to both our rights and our duties.
We interfered with consistency, and
while seeking to dictate when we were
not concerned we utterly failed to appre-
ciate and discharge our plain duty to our
own citizens.
Brave words lave been stripped of their
force by indecision. l desire to see our
diplomacy restored to it's best standards
and to I've these advanced, to nave no
sacrifices of national interests to partisan
expediency, to have the first ability of the
country always at it's here and
abroad, in diplomatic intercourse to main
tain firmly our rights as neutrals and
fully performing our international obli-
cations, and by the clear correctness and
justice of our position and our manifest
ability and disposition to sustain them, to
dignity our place among the nations.
l stand for Americanism which knows
no Interior purpose, for a patriotism
which is single and complete, whether ma

toned "the foremost private citizen of
the world, Theodore Roosevelt" there
was no controlling the pandemonium.
For ninety-three minutes the cheering
continued.
Later, when he was nominated. after
the Republicans named Hughes, Col

When the platform was submitted,
which strongly advocated American
ism, preparedness, protection and wo-
mans suffrage, the convention ap-
pointed a harmony committee to con-
fer with a similar Republican commit
tee. Efforts to get together, however,
failed, the Progressives insisting ON

gestion that the Progressive and Re-

CATCHER A FORTRESS
IN MODERN REGALIA

Catchers are protected by all sorts
and ann of armor. They have
masks, mitts, chest protectors and
bands on their shoes to shield them
from foul tips. In only one place are
they liable to injury. This is their
neck. Occasionally a foul hits them
there and the injury is not only I'M
usually painful but dangerous.
Jack Lapp. now catcher of the White
Sox, was struck there some years ago
and for days it was feared he had lost
the power of speech. Even today his
voice is not what it was before he was
hurt.
Lapp has tried all sorts Of contriv-
ances to protect his neck, but In no In
stance have they proved practicable.
A man who m along with a real
idea will be welcomed by the vast
army of backstoppers.
Sometimes a mask breaks under the
shock of a foul tip, and NOR than n
catcher has narrowly escaped having
his eye permanently injured. Some
backstops, like Billy Sullivan, resolder
their mask, but this makes it so heavy
1t becomes a burden.
Catching is, in short, some job. He
not only has to give signals, watch
every move on the bases, jolly his
pitcher and block runners Off the plate,

spikes, but he is so loaded down by
equipment that he Is a walking for

SAlSdSO, JULIE ~. SudIlcS GFaLo
Hughes of New York for president and
Charles Warren Fairbanks of Indiana
for vice president, the men nominated
by the Republican convention here, are
greeted with approval by party men,
bers throughout the country. Each
man has held high Office, the former as
governor Of New York and associate
justice of the United States supreme
court and the latter as senator from
Indiana and vice president of the Unit
ed States. The latter held his former
high Office in the second administra-
ton of President Roosevelt, from 1905
to 1909.
From the time the first ballot was
cast in the Republican convention and
it was seen that Hughes had more
votes than any of his rivals his selec-
ton was freely predicted. The end of
the heated but not unduly prolonged
fight came on the third ballot, when
the New York man was chosen by a
vote of 949H, 494 being necessary for
a choice.
Twenty Candidates Voted For.
He had obtained 253h votes on the
first ballot, taken in the evening of
June 9, and on the second ballot, taken
Immediately thereafter, he gained 70,
while Theodore Roosevelt, who had
been feared by the Hughes men as his
strongest opponent, mounted from 65
to 81. Besides these two, eighteen 9TH
er candidates received votes ON the
second ballot, the total, twenty, being
greater probably than ever before
known in a national convention. Root,
Burton, Cummins, Weeks and Fair
banks were the strongest Of the TWEEN
