announcement that the Republl

Tt will he seen that the planks be

irts. Nobody Is opposed to up
at all times tha authority and

to the enforcement of the pro?

of their powers to protect Hfe,

that somebody la attacking ths
and that the courts are In dan
of leexng support or of having
powers weakened. There la no

anywhere of Interfering with
legitimate function of the courts.
Republican convention puts np

ge written to give assurance
tha people, who are opposed to the
man's plea. And let us ro?
te that part of ths plank, which
Intended as a sop to the laboring

the rules of procedure In the Fed

ho la not stated.)
That no Injunction or temporary

'except where Irreparable Injury

xsnder the law aa It now exists the

porary rsstrslnlng order except

ho eeen that the man who wrote

exception as broad as was ths

The men who are responsible for

have fooled the convention, but
they fool the laboring men or
voters In genersl? The Injunct on

The plank aa prepsred In advance
erf ths convention by Mr. Tarts
Trtonds and given out on Tuesday
swad ss follows: We declsre for such
-?amendments of the statutes of pro
vSSSdure In the Federal Courts with re
to the use of the writ of Injunc
as will on the one hand prevent
summary issue of such orders
thout proper conslderstlon, and on
othsr will preserve uiullmlnlshed
thw power of ths courts to enfo.ee
rtr process to ths end that Justice
ha done at all times and to all
"It will he noticed that In this
plunk the declaration In favor of
amendment* coitus first and the dec?
laration In favor of preserving undi
mlntshed the power of the courts to
enforce their processes comes after?
wards. In the plank as adopted by
the convention the declaration in
favor of preservation of the courts
comes first and the discussion of a
change in the law comes afterwards.
"If the demand of the laboring man
was unreasonable why did not the
convention say so? Why did it resort
to deception? The Republican party
will find that honest course would
have been safer than the dishonest
course being pursued.
"Secretary Taft Is known as the
father of government by Injunction
and his speeches In Oklahoma last
year gave conclusive proof of his ad*
herence to the position taken by him
on the bench. He Is still In favor of
the use of writ of Injunction In labor
cases and he Is opposed to trial by
Jury.
"In a speech delivered In New
York last winter he said, in response
to questions, that the law ought to be
so amended as to give a hearing be?
fore the Injunction was granted, and
even consented that the hearing for
contempt should be before a different
judge from the one who granted the
Injunction, but when he came to pre?
pare a plank for the convention he
did not go so far as he went in his
speech. The plank that went before
the convention as his plank was so
weak that It amounted to nothing,
but even It was too strong for the
convention, and the convention adopt?
ed a plank, which not only does not
grant any concessions ? to the laboring
men, but really emphasises the posi?
tion taken by large corporate employ?
ers by hurling an anathema at those
who are suspected of a desire to mod?
ify the law relating to Injunctions.
"This Is the treatment received by
the wage earners from the National
convention of the Republican party.
If this Is the position of the party be?
fore the election, what reason has
the laboring man to hope that the
party will do batter after election?"
LEVER THINKS TAFT WILL WIN.
Hays He Is Easiest Man to Beat, but
that Democrats will Lose.
Columbia, June lt.?-"In nominat?
ing Taft the Republican party has put
up the easiest man for the Democrats
to beat, said Congressman A. F.
Lever In the hotel lobby last night.
'I was suprised when I saw that Taft
had been nominated. When Taft was
la Federal Judge he Issued Injunction
after Injunction, I understand that
there Is an antl-lnjunetlon clause In
the Republican platform. They are
running an Injunction man on an
anti-injunction platform. But the peo?
ple are not so easily fooled. I believe
that Taft was run by Roosevelt, and
had It not been for the backing he
has received from the Administration
he would not have had a chance In
the world. Roosevelt has been able
to control his lieutenants and ihelr
votes, but when Taft goes before the
people Roosevelt will rfot be able to
dictate to the people, or even influ?
ence them through hie lieutenants.
"I do not think that the Democra?
tic party will win out In the campaign
this year, but I think that Bryan will
give Mr. Taft a run for his money.
I do think that If Johnson had
announced sooner than he did that
he would be nominated at the Denver
Convention, and we would have a
flne chance of electing the next Pre?
sident.
"I think the Aldrlch currency bill
Is a rotten plank In the Republican
bridge to success. They knew they
had to pass some curreney legislation
before election, and drew up such a
poor bill that they have not fooled
the people one bit

ticket backed by Bryan, I think the

UFT FOR PRESIDENT.
HE IS NOMINATED ON THE FIRST
BALLOT.
Big Secretary Gets 702 Votes Out of
079 Cast?CtlOiOi Made Unanimous
After the Result is Announced?
Nomination for second place Will
Bo Made Today.
Chicago, June 18.?For president of
the United States, Wm. H. Taft of
Ohio.
Taft on the first ballot; Taft by 702
votes?Taft by the unanimous con?
sent of the convention.
Such is the record of the culminat?
ing day of the Republican national
convention of 1908, effected amid
scenes of tumultous enthusiasm and
after a nerve-racking, continuous ses?
sion lasting nearly eight hours. With
president named and platform enun?
ciated there remains only the nomi?
nation of the vice president to com?
plete this momentous work. Tonight
the whole city is given over to wild
exultation in honor of the new can?
didate, whose name goes echoelng
through the country.
The picture within the walls of
the vast amphitheatre as the presi?
dential candidate was named today
was one truly grandiose in Its mag?
nitude. 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 ex?
pectancy for the culminating vote.
The favorite sons of other States had
been named, save Knox and LaFol
lette, and now on the roll call came
Ohio. As the Buckeye State was
reached, the tall, gaunt form of
Theodore E. Burton, with student?
like face and severe black clerical
garb, advanced to the platform to
nominate Ohio's candidate. He spoke
fer\ently, with the singing voice of
an evangelist, which went ringing
through the great building. The close
of his speech of nomination was the
signal for loosing the long pent-up
feeling of the Taft legions. Instantly
the Ohio delegates were on their
feet, other States following, while the
convention hosts In gallery and on
floor broke Into mad demonstration.
?Taft! Taft! W. H. Taft!" came
In a roar from* the Ohioans.
' Megaphones seemed to spring from
concealed places and swell the Taft
tumult Into thunder. A huge, blue
silk banner bearing the familiar
features* of the secretary swung be?
fore the delegates, awakening a fresh
whirlwind of enthusiasm.
All Order Lost.
All semblance of order had been
abandoned and the delegates' arena
was the maelstrom of gesticulating
men; the guidons of the States were
snatched up by the Taft enthusiasts
or borne under the storm of disorder.
The band was Inaudible?a mere whis?
per above the deafening volume of
sound.
For 10, 15, then 20 minutes this up?
roar continued. It was a repetition
of the scene of yesterday, when the
name of Roosevelt threw the conven?
tion into frenxy, repeated In inten?
sity and almost In duration. But
there Is a limit to the physical re?
sources of the throat and lung and at
last the tired voices died down to a
hoarse shout and finally subsided.
The lull now gave the opportunity
for the speech seconding Taft's nom?
ination, by Qen. H. Knight, of Cali?
fornia, his big, round face beaming
forth on the sympathetic multitude
and hie splendid baritone voice well?
ing forth like the tones of a great
church organ. California's tribute to
Taft was brief and fervid. Now there
was another lull in the Taft move?
ment while the remaining candidates
were placed in nomination.
It was late In the afternoon before
the convention, sweltering with the
intense heat and weary after nearly
seven hours' continuous session,
reached the end of the flood of elo?
quence, and the decks were at last
clear for the culminating act?the
ballot. But no; just as the last swell
of oratory, the seconding speech for
LaFolleUe, had died away, like a cy?
clone frome a clear sky, burst ? LaFol
lette demonstration wh!rh s.vej t the
convention from Its very beating. It
was the same deafening wave (f
sound that had greet* n R?osevi !t yes?
terday and Taft a little while before,
Intense and maddening and with the
vital ring of genuine ethu>ir.sm. The
delegates sat calm and waiting, ex?
cept the frantic Wisconsin men, but
the convention for the time being was
in the possession of the galleries.
Roosevelt Demonstration.
Now a singular transformation oc?
curred?gradually the whirlwind veer?
ed from LaFollette to Roosevelt. A
banner bearing the Roosevelt por?
trait and waved from the gallery was
the signal for the change.
Amid this pandemonium and with
the galleries In full control Chairman
Lodge ordered the roll call of States
to begin for the vote on president.
Such a call, under such circumstances,
has probably never before occurred
In the history of national conventions.
A ballot was taken to nominate a can?
didate for president while the con?
vention was cheering frantically for a
man whose name had not been pre?
sented to the convention. The votes
were being counted for Taft while the
people were shouting for Roosevelt.
The delegates, however, cast their
votes uninfluenced by the clamor of
the crowd. More than this, the first
States on the call, Alabama and Ar?
kansas, had been relied upon by a
few Roosevelt enthusiasts to start the
stampede for the president, but they
held by their instructions while the
stampede raged all about them.
Seizllng a megaphone the secretary
shouted the roll call of States?"Ala?
bama"?"Arkansas'*?but his voice
was swallowed up in the mad uproar.
Gradually, however, the curiosity of
the multitude conquered their en?
thusiasm and they lapsed into si?
lence to hear the result of the roll
call.
A hush of expectancy hung over
the assembly as the call proceeded,
hasty summaries showed that Taft
was far in advance. When New York
was reached the Taft column totaled
427. Ohio carried the Taft total to
111, or 20 more than enough to nom?
inate. Still the call went on until the
final result was announced by Chair?
man Lodge.
The vote was as follows:
Taft?Alabama 22, Arkansas 18,
California 20, Colorado 10, Connecti?
cut 14, Delaware 6, Florida 10, Geor?
gia 17, Idaho 6, Illinois 3, Iowa 26,

A great shout went up as Lodge
concluded his announcement , and
with one accord the cohorts of Can?

heroes Joined in a common tribute for
the candidate of the party.

Chicago, June 19.?Congressman
James S. Sherman, of New York, was

MR. LEVER MISQUOTED.
Thinks Bryan May Win If Given a
Strong Running Mate.
Columbia, June 21.?In an Inter?
view with Congressman Lever, printed
In the News and Courier of June 20,
a slight mistake was made by this
correspondent due to the hasty in?
terview. The mistake was corrected
by Mr. Lever In the following letter:
"The interview with me In yester?
day's News and Courier is not en?
tirely correct. I did not predict the
defeat of Bryan by Taft. I don't re?
call discussing that particular phase
of the subject in the hurried conver?
sation, except by Inference. I did
say that I thought Johnson stood a
fine chance of beating any one nomi?
nated by the Chicago convention if
Bryan would give him his earnest
support, which I have no doubt he
would give. However, It now seems
that Bryan will be the party's choice
on the first ballot, and if he is given
a strong running mate, and the great
labor leader, John Mitchell, In my
judgment, Is the proper person, I see
no reason to feel discouraged over the
prospect for Democratic victory In
November. I make this statement,
not in criticism or complaint of your
most excellent and careful Columbia
correspondent, who drew his Infer?
ence Incorrectly from my statement,
but to put myself In the correct at?
titude. I believe the ticket to be
nominated at Denver has an even
chance of success, and all loyal party
men should put aside the differences
of the past and work for the victory."

FIRE AT FLORENCE INFIRMARY.
Patients Quickly Removed to Places
of Safety.
Florence, June 19.?The Florence
Infirmary was badly damaged by fire
at noon today. The Inmates were
all removed to places of safety as
quickly as possible and the firemen
worked for more than an hour in
their effort to stay the flames, which
they did, but not until considerable
damage had been done to the build?
ing and the contents.
The fire was discovered in the
sterilizing room by one of the nurses
about 11 o'clock this morning and she
gave the alarm. The department was
called out and had streams on the
building within a few moments
thereby confined the flames to the
sterilizing room, and between the cell?
ing and the roof.
The furniture was very nearly all
rtjmove'? from the building, but it
was considerably broken and damag?
ed. The Florence Infirmary is owned
by Dr. Frank H. McLeod and the plant
is valued at about $15,000. There
were quite a number of patients in
the building for treatment, but they
were gently and quitely removed to
places of safety, and where they were
cared for, not one of them feeling
much the worse this afternoon over
the removal.
DISGUISED NEGRO KILLED.
Colored Man in Woman's .Clothes
Shot by New York Patrolman.
New York, June 21.?Garbed in
woman's clothes, an unknown negro
was shot and killed early today on
West One Hundred and Twenty-sec?
ond street, while attempting to escap?
after he had slit the throat of Pa?
trolman Geo. Thompson, who was
making the arrest. Thompson had
no idea that his prisoner was a man.
The negro drew a razor from his
clothes and slashed Thompson across
the throat. The negro fled, and
Thompson, struggling to his feet, flred
three shots, one of which pierced the
negro's brain. Thompson's injury
was not serious.
