For president of the United States,

Taft on the first ballot; Taft by
702 votes—Taft by the unanimous
consent of the convention. " '
Such is the record of the culmi

scenes of tumultous enthusiasm
and afWr'a^nerve-racking, continu

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. It was a- repeti
tion of the scene of Wegnesdayr
'when the name of Rooee/efi threw
, the convention into a frenty, repeated
< in intensity and almost in duration.

will call upon Secretary Taft, and
Senator J. C. Burrows, of Michigan,
being placed at the head of the com
mittee to notify Sherman.
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.
The result of the ballot was an
nounced by Chairman Lodge as fol

Seising a megaphone the secretary
shouted the roll -call of States—
Alabama”—"Arkansas"—but his
voice was swallowed up In the mad
uproar. Gradually, however, the
curiosity of the multitude conquered
their enthusiasm and they lapsed
into silence to hear the result ot the
roll call.
A hush of expectancy hung over
the assembly as the call proceeded.
Hasty summaries showed that Taft
was fair in advance. When NeK York

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. We declare our unfaltering
adherence to the polices thus in
augurated and pledge their continu
ance under the Republican adminis
tration of the government."
The platform declares that the na
tion has bbecome the richest in the
world under Republican guidance and
declares for the principle that in the
development and enjoyment of
wealth there shall be equal opfior-
