The final session lasted For president of the United States, Wm. H. Taft of Ohio. Taft on the first ballot; Taft by 702 votes—Taft by the unanimous consent of the convention. " ' Such is the record of the culmi nating day of the- Republican na tional convention of 1908, effected scenes of tumultous enthusiasm and afWr'a^nerve-racking, continu ous sessipnY^tysting' nearly eight hour* * 4 ^ ' ' , Th picture within the walls of the vast amphitheatre as the presidential ^andidate was named Thursday was ptne truly grandiose in., its magni tude. In front, to the right, and left, below and above, the billowing sea of humanity, restless after hours of waiting and stirred from one emo tion to another, was in a- fever, of —expectancy .for .the culminating vote. The favorite sons of other States had been named, save Knox and La- Follettn, and now on the roll call came Ohio. As the Huckeye State waa reached, the tall, gaunt form of Theodore E. Burton, with stn- deiit-llke face and severe black cleri cal garb, advanced to the platfonq to nominate Ohio's candidate. He spoke feverently. with the singing oioire of an evangelist, which went <Wlngtng through the great building. The close of his speech of nomina tion was the signal for loosing the long peat-up feeling of the Taft legi ons. Instantly the Ohio delegates were on their feet, other States fol- lowng, while the convention hosts in gallery and on floor broke into mad demonstration. "Taft! Taft! W. H..Taft!" came in a roar from the Oh ions. Megaphones seemed to spring from concealed places and awell the Taft tuniulet into thunder. A huge blue nilk banner bearing the familiar fea ture* of the secretary was swung be fore the delegates, awakening a fresh whirlwind of enthusiasm. Ail semblance of order had been abandoned and the delegates' arena was a maelstrom of gesticulating men; the guldona of thft Shttps wimc snatched up by the Taft enthusiasts or borne under the storm of disor der. The baud was Inaudible—a mera whisper above the deafening volnue of sound. For 10, 15, then 20 minutes this uproar continued.

Before the convention assembled Friday morning it was practically certain that the Vice Presidency would go to Mr.Sherman. A number had indorsed his candidacy in {cau cus, and it spread like wildfire. [The New York delegation alone stood solidly back of Sherman and when the voting began there was a rush of delegatee to fall into line, victory be ing assured to the New York man tong before the roll had been half completed. Sherman's victory was overwhelming. When New York was reached on the roll call Woodruff said: M New York casts seventy-eight votes for the next' Vice President, Jain«»~§H Sherman " The issue was settled and New York cheered the victory. The balloting throughout was mark ed by enthusiasm. The vote for Sherman was not Broken until West Virginia was reached, when Fair banks was given one vote.

Gradually, however, the curiosity of the multitude conquered their enthusiasm and they lapsed into silence to hear the result ot the roll call.

In was the same deafening wave of sound that had greeted Roosevelt and Taft a little while before, intense and maddening and with the vital ring of genuine enthusiasm. The delegates sat calm and waiting, except the frantic Wis consin men, but the convetetibn for the time being was In the possession of the galleries. > Now a singular transformation oc curred—gradually the whirlwind ‘ veered from LaFollette to Roosevelt.

The Republican platform referring to President Roosevelt, says: ‘ In this greatest era of American advancement the Republican party has reached its highest service under the leadership-of Theodore Roose velt. His administration is an epoch in American history. In no other period since national sovereignty has won under Washington or prepared under Lincoln has there been such mighty progress Jn these ideals of government, which make for justice, equality and fair dealing among men. The highest aspirations of American people have found voice. Their most exalted servant has come to repre sent, not political sovereignty alone, but the beat aims and worthiest pur poses of all his countrymen." Referring to his record the plat form recites: "These are achieve ments that will make for Theodore Roosevelt his place in history. But, more than all else, the great things he has done will be inspirations to those who have yet greater things to do.
