Bniii Nominations Made By Over-; PW "whelminff Majorities on First B Ballot of I)a>. r Chicago, June 10.?Charles Evans J Hughes, former governor of New< York and associate justice of the su-j preme court, was nominated today i V for the presidency by the Republican ; national convention. Charles Warren Fairbanks of Indiana, elected vice president with j 'Theodore Roosevelt in 1904, again j was chosen for second place on the j Republican ticket. Both nominations, made by overwhelming majorities on the first ballot of the day?the third ballot of the convention for the presidency?were, by acclamation, made unanimous. I Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, presented by Col. Roosevelt as a comr promise candidate, received seven votes. Col. Roosevelt himself receiv-! ed eighteen and one-half scattered j nvpr twelve States. The nominating ballot showed this ^ count: Hughes, 949 1-2; Roosevelt, 18 1-2; Lodge, 7; DuPont, 5; Weeks, 3; Lafollette, 3; absent 1. Total, 987. Although Frank H.

The nomination of Mr. Hughes was j mad? possible so Boon vy ?tn nig&t break up of the allied favorite sons combination, which early this morning released its delegates, practical^ all of whom were known to favor Mr. Hughes when freed from their instructions.

When the* convention began business shortly before noon the with- j drawal of the favorite sons was an- J nou-nced from the platform one after j ' / ~T another and thfc votes 'began flopping' into the Hughes column in solid f blocks so rapidly that the nomination k plainly was assured before the roll ' -ca^.i had gone five States. When it got to Colorado the drift was so apparent that a proposal to > make it unanimous or nominate him by acclamation was made, but Chair ma* Harding ruled that the balloting should take its course. Bach addition to the Hughes column was greeted by yells of exultation from the rapidly accumulating Hughes delegates and steadily the votes piled up until New Jersey carried it past the required four hundred and ninety-four and the remainder j was only a formality. ( I& rapid succession as the voting : went on DuPont was withdrawn by j Delaware and his solid block cast for j Hughes; Illinois withdrew Sherman, j Ohio withdrew Burion, Iowa with-! drew Cummins.

IVaee (oniVrees* Iteport. Before the ballot was taken today Senator Smoot announced the report of the latest meeting of the Republican conferees uith the conferees of the Progressive convention, disclosv. g that the Republicans had presented the name of Mr. Hughes for their consideration as a candidate on whom both conventions could unite. He also read the reply of the Progressive con- \ rerees, which merely was an acknowl-1 edgement of receipt of the proposal. I Then lie read Col. Roosevelt's tele- j gram to the Progressive convention,! which had been brought to the Coli- J seum by John Mcuratn, me tuwuci o j secretary, suggesting Senator Lodge. . Before he had finished the reading,! word was announced in the Coliseum j that the Progressive convention itself j had not only tabled the Republican | proposal of Mr. Hughes but had tabl- j Rnnspvelt's own DrODOSal of | tU V/Ui. Afc -- ^ Senator Lodge as well. There was a gallery demonstration, not so prolonged as yesterday's at the announcement of Col. Roosevelt's proposition. But the delegate section., by its silence, plainly showed its Indifference. >o Doubt at Any Time. With that the roll call of States began and there never was a moment's J ~ i ?A?!nlf 1 UUUOl Ol IUC I Couii,. Senator Lodge, a close personal fuend of the colonel's, got a reception approaching an ovation, when he made a speech seconding Hughes. With the end of the balloting for the presidential nomination and the official announcement by Chairman [ KollrtHn<r for vice DTCS" I XiCLI UiUg, luc uu?v..UB ident began. In view of Mr. Hitchcock's expressed preference for former Senator Burton there was some surprise when Governor Willis of Ohio withdrew Senator Burton's name and cast the whole block of j Ohio votes for Fairbanks. As the roll call proceeded whole blocks of notes piled in for Fairbanks and his nomination soon was such a foregone conclusion that the delegates foegan leaving and caused such confusion that the balloting was heard with difficulty. After Chairman Harding had an! - <? nounced tne nomination 01 . ?-embanks, Chairman Hilles called a meeting of the new' national committes far organization, and the convention adjourned. The convention was notable in political history for . many things. A man who steadfastly had refused to seek the .lomination had been chosen; it was the first Republican convention since - 1SSS which had 'been forced to take more than one ballot and it has been marked by a lack of rim mis demonstrations and nervous enthusiasm, which hitherto has been a feature of suc-b gatherings. It did .pot touch any of the existing records for sustained demonstrations, but despite the fact that in political vernacular it was wholly and decidedly "unbcssed;" it moived with a precision and. quietness, which has not been equalled since the McKinley convention in Philadelphia. a nriiiini/i ni r A ntlHAKKADLt STATEMENT * Mrs. Sheldon Spent $1900 for Treatment Without Benefit.

Murray in News and Courier, i Chicago, June 10.?-Precisely what j former Representative Victor Mur * (lock of Kansas told the Bull moose j (invention today is true, as a sum- j I i mary of the acts of the two national i i contentions just held in Chicago. The! Progressives were skinned alive by 1 the Republicans in the game of rolltics which was played between them ! this week. Col. Roosevelt was also: skinned alive by the same experts i I infinitely to his own amazement. The ! ' colonel could not understand what | ; had been for some time obvious to! I j every observer who knew the inside ; [situation; namely, that about 92 per! cent of the delegates in the Repuk- j lican convention were against him be- j cause they did not want him as their i | nominee and did not think he had j j any chance to win if nominated. I Up to the last moment the former j j president evidently nursed the delu- j I sion that there might be a "Roose-; | velt stampede" which there was never ! ' tor one moment in the Republican 1 convention's existence the remotest likelihood. And Roosevelt's sugges-! tion of Lodge as compromise candi- j date was a ridiculous fiasco. The Re-! publicans treated it with less consid- j eration than they had treated the, microscopic DuPont boom, while the Progressives showed their positive . J anger at the Republicans by laying it on the table. What Happened to Teddj. | i\Y!hat .happened to Roosevelt in the | Republican convention was exactly j what happened to the fellow wlio | concluded, after being thrown out of ( n house three times in quick euc-1 cession, that he really was not want- j ed in there. The first experience was J the refusal to invite the colonel to; come to Chicago and address the con- j vention, as the colonel said he would ! if asked oificially; the second was the: small vote gken to him on the bal * AT I ; loting for presidential nominee; urj I third was the utter indifference dis! played to his proffer of his friend; . Lodge as the man to nominate. As to the Progressives, they lost a magnificent opportunity to play gool politics themselves by joining with' the Republicans in the nomination of! j Hughes, or in nominating Hughes j i first this morning themselves. The' j majority of the more conservative i leaders of the Mooters at heart fav| ored amalgamation with Hughes as | the joint nominee, and some of them ! almost said so publicly, but the com! bined influence of the hotheads and ! !viin worp ar>?rv wifh Roosevelt i l/HUOV' ? ? 11U " V* ^ ?' - ^ J for his "pussy-footing"' and wished to inflict the nomination on him for his I sons, ultimately prevailed.

They caught him trying to escape from the connubial promises and pulled him back. If he deserts again the act will be committed in the sight of all men and with full public knowledge of the import of the deed. The Democrats of the country j should not make the mistake of assuming that Hughes was nominated today by the Republicans because ihe old guard primarily wanted him.

That he will refuse is the prevailing guess among the politicians at this time, and he said himthat >ip 'would have refused to-1 OCH luwt 14 V _ day if forced to decide at once. This transfer of disgusted Moosers to the I Democratic ranks will complete a journey begun four years ago. On the other hand, should Roosevelt run, the Wilson campaign managers will express the same confidence as William F. McCombs did in an interview in Detroit last week, that the incumbent in the White House will be reelected. Whatever Roosevelt does, j it will not be easy to defeat Wilson. The Republican danger, in the event that Roosevelt refuses the Bull IMoose caresses, will be ' over-confidence which is a very dangerous disease. j I Dr. F. C.
