Alagoas heart-tongued frog

The **Alagoas heart-tongued frog** (_Phyllodytes acuminatus_) is a frog. It lives in Brazil, in the state of Pernambuco. People have seen it as high as 550 meters above sea level.

## Home

People have seen this frog in bromeliad plants near the outer parts of forests. Scientists think it might live deep in the forest in the place where the branches meet like a roof, but they have not seen them there.  This frog is not in danger of dying out. Scientists say that it is good at living in places that human beings have changed a little, but not in places that human beings have changed a lot. Scientists say that the danger is that human beings change the places where it lives to build towns, build farms, get wood to build with, and make places for animals to eat grass.

## Life cycle

The mother frog lays eggs on the leaves of bromeliad plants. She lays one egg at a time. When the egg hatches, the tadpole falls into the pool of water in the bromeliad plant.

1908 Republican National Convention

The **1908 Republican National Convention** was held in Chicago Coliseum, Chicago, Illinois from June 16 to June 19, 1908. It nominated presidents that were in the Republican party.

Theodore Roosevelt liked William Howard Taft, so he was nominated. The convention nominated James S. Sherman to be the vice president.

## Candidates for president

Before the convention, Charles Fairbanks and Charles Evans Hughes both seemed like possible nominees, but Roosevelt chose to pick the president himself. Roosevelt wanted Elihu Root to be president, but Root was too young, so Roosevelt chose William Howard Taft instead. Taft was sure that he would win. Taft won the presidential nomination on the first ballot.

## Vice Presidential Candidates

Taft wanted a progressive running mate like Albert Beveridge or Jonathan Dolliver, but Joseph Gurney Cannon and the New York delegation chose James S. Sherman. Sherman was a conservative, but the progressive wing of the party chose him anyway. Sherman won the vice presidential nomination on the first ballot, and he won 816 of the 979 votes.
