made on the third ballot of the con
vention, the Roosevelt nomination by
acclamation.
Colonel Roosevelt sent a tentative
declination of the nomination, with
the understanding that it was to stand
If Hughes turned out to be sound on
the issues of Americanism and pre
paredness, and that if Hughes turned
out to be pactilistic. pussy-footed, or
pro-German he would niecept and
make tle raec as the Progressive can
didate.
Justice llughes broke all records by
accepting the nomination by telegraph
without waiting for a formal notifica
tion by the regularly appointed com
Iittee, and declared his position not
only on the issues regarded by Col.

"I am very much pleased, of course,
said Mr. Hitchcock. "It means a re

The nomination of Mr. Hughes wa
made possible so soon by an ovez
night break up of the allied favorit
sons' combination which early in th
morning released its delegates, pra
tically all of whom were known t

Favorite Sons Withdrew.
When the convention began bus

drawal of the favorite sons was ar
nounced one after another and th
votes began flopping into the Hughe
column in solid blocks so rapidly the

drift was so apparent that a proposa
to make it unanimous was made, bu
Chairman Harding ruled that the ba
loting should take its regular course.

Each addition to the Hughes co
umn was greeted by yells of exulti
tion from the rapidly accumulatin
Hughes delegates and steadily state b
state the votes piled up until Nei
Jersey carried it past- the require

votes were cast for Hughes, only
few remaining in compliment to th
favorite sons who brought them.
Candidates Pledge Support.
Then one after the other, Senatc
Weeks and Senator Lodge took th
platform pledged loyalty to the non

Notable Convention.
The convention was notable in y
litical history for many things.

it was the first Republican conventi4
since 1888 which had been forced
tak~e more than one ballot to agrl

been equalled since the McKinley cc
