Sherman, of New York, Chosen on First Ballot as Taft's Male. BURTON NAMES OHIO MAN The Fourteenth Republican National Convention Now a Mutter of History. Chicago June 19. For President of the United States, William H. Taft of Ohio. Fn- vioo-pvpsldent, James S. Sher man of New York. lau on the nrst ballot. Taft by 702 votes. Taft by the unanimous choice of the convention. Such is the record of the culminat ing day of the Republican National Convention of 1908, affected amid scenes of tumultuous enthusiasm and after a nerve-racking continuous ses sion lasting nearly eight hours. The picture within the walls of the vast amphitheater as the Presidential candidate was named today was one truly grand In Its magnitude. In front, to the right and left, below and above, the billowing sea of humani ty, restless after hours of waiting and stirred from one emotion 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 Follette, and now on the rollcall 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 fervently, with the singing voice of an evangelist, which went ringing down through the great building. The close of his speech of nomination was the signal for the long pent-up feeling of the Taft legions. Instantly the Ohio del egates were on their feet, other Taft states following, while the convention hosts In gallery and on floor broke Into a mad demonstration. A huge, blue silk banner hearing the familiar features of the statesman-Secretary was swung before the delegates, awakening a fresh whirlwind of en thusiasm. A lull gave the opportunity for the speech seconding Taft's nomination by George A. Knight, of California, his big, round face beaming forth on, the sympathetic multitude and his splendid baritone voice going forth like tones of a great church organ, California's tribute to Taft was brief and fervid. Now there was another lull In the Taft movement, while the remaining candidates were placed In nomination. - It was late In the afternoon before the convention, now literally swelter ing with the intense heat, reached the end of the flood of eloquence and the decks were at last cleared for the seconding of La Follette, When the cheers following the speech had died away, like a cyclone from a clear sky burBt a La Follette demonstra tion which swept the convention from its very bearing. It seemed as though Wisconsin had suddenly peopled ev ery foot of the galleries. The dele gates sat calm and waiting, except the. frantic Wlsconslns, but the con vention for the time being was In the possession of the galleries. Amid this pandemonium and with the galleries In full control, Chair man Lodge deolded upon heroic ac tion In order again to make the con vention master of Its affairs. He or dered the rollcall 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. The secretary was powerless to make his call of states heard above the deafening clamor. Gradually the curiosity of the multitude con uered Us enthusiasm and It lapsed Into silence to hear the result of the call. A hush of expectancy hung over the assembly as the call proceeded. Hasty summaries showed tnat lart was far In advance. When New York was reached, the Taft column totaled 427. Ohio carried the Tart total to 511, or 20 more than enough to nom inate. Still the call went on until the final result was announced by Chairman Lodge, For Theodore Roosevelt, a votes; for Joseph B. Foraker, of Ohio, 16 votes; for Charles W. Fairbanks, of Indiana, 40 votes; for Joseph O. Can non, of Illinois, 68 votes; for Robert La Follette, of Wisconsin, 25 votes; for Charles E. Hughes, of New York, 67 votes: for Philander C. Knox, ot Pennsylvania. 68 votes, and for Will iam H. Taft, of Ohio 702 votes." A great shout went up as Lodge concluded his announcement, and with one accord the adherents of i Cannon, Knox and Hughes and the , others Joined In a common tribute to the candidate of the party General Stewart L. Woodford, for I Governor Hughes, leaping upon a chair, moved to make the nomination of Taft unanimous; Senator Penrose, for Knox; Boutell, for CannonT Henry, of Georgia, for Foraker, and Cochems, of Wliconstn, for La Fol lette, seconded the movement for a unanimous vote for the candidate, which wag given with ' a ringing che-.(. Before tit convention assemble The Oregon (society ot Motual In surance was organized last week in the convention hall of the Portland D SHERMAN this morning it was practically cer tain that the Vlce-Prsidency would go to Mr. Sh.erman. A large number of states had Indorsed his candidacy in caucus, and it spread like wildfire. The New York delegatten stood solid ly back of Mr. Sherman, and when the voting began there wag a rush of delegates to fall into line, victory being assured to the New York Rep resentative long before the roll had been half completed. Speaker Can non appeared unexpectedly upon the floor of the convention, and by unan imous consent was granted the privi lege of making the seconding speech for Mr. Sherman, . who had been placed in nomination by Timothy L. Woodruff, chairman of the New York delegation. Mr. Cannon was greeted uproariously as he stepped to the convention platform, and his earnest tribute to Mr. Sherman, one the floor leaders in the lower House of Con gress, was enthusiastically applauded. Mr. Sherman's victory was an over whelming one, 816 votes being the total before his nomination was made unanimous. Earlier in the day the battle over the platform had occupied the close attention of delegates and spectators. The platform, as framed by the com mittee on resolutions, was read by Its chairman, Senator Hopkins, 'of Illinois, while a minority report, re flecting the views of the supporters THEODORE E. BURTON. of Senator La Follette, was presented by Congressman Cooper, of Wiscon sin. It was on one hand the. sledge hammer blows of the Wisconsin men against combinations and monopoly; on the other hand the warning of Hopkins against Socialist doctrines of Wisconsin. The platform was adopt ed by an overwhelming vote, after separate planks In the Wisconsin plan had ben buried- under adverse votes. The nominations completed, final details were now quickly perfected committees from the various states to wait upon the candidates for Presi dent and Vice-President and formally notify them of the action of the con vention In nominating them; pros pective meetings of the National com mittee to perfect plans for the com ing campaign and thanks and con gratulations to the ChicagoanB who have given a convention hall of such perfect equipment. An Interesting and pleasing Inci dent ocaurred In the convention, Just after the call to order. Senator Ful ton then said: "Mr. Chairman and Gentlemen of the Convention: The delegnllqn from Oregon Is proud of the fact and deems It an honor to state to this convention that among Its members Is the last surviving member of Pres ident Grant's Cabinet, In the person of Hon. George H. Williams, who was elected to the United States Senate in 1864. He was a member of the reconstruction committee of the Sen ate, the author of the reconstruction bill and the tenure of ofllce aot and framed the exact language In which now appears the fourteenth amend ment. , He Is now In his 86th year. He has a mind exceptionally clear and strong that looks back from hla great eminence upon a life singular ly replete with participation In great historic events and as a mark ot re spect to this distinguished citizen I move that he be Invited to a seat on the platform." Judge Williams took a seat on the platform and was greeted with loud applause. SHERMAN A LEADER IN HOUSE AND PARLIAMENTARIAN. Lawyer, Banker and Manufacturer Who Has Presided at Many Stormy Sessions.
