HUGHES ON FIRST BALLOT
ROOSEVELT HIGHLY PLEASED
BY HIGHKS1 VICTORY.
OYSTER BAT, S-pt. 13. News of
the renomlnation of Governor Hughes
vii received here while President
Roosevelt was out riding and It was
not until some time afterwards that
he was made acQualnted with the In
formation. It Is known that the
President was greatly pleased by the
action of the convention In nominat
ing Governor Hushes.
(Continued from First Page.)
leaders, who for four days have spared
no effort to discover a candidate upon
whom they could unite to defeat nlm.
The remainder of the ticket was made
up in the "good old-fashioned way," an
organization "slate"' announced an hour
or more before the session of the conven
tion began by Timothy L. Woodruff,
chairman of the state committee, after a
conference of the local leaders.
Senator White, who was chosen as can
didate for lieutenant-governor was "in
the running" for the governorship until
the early afternoon, when, after a meet
ing of his delegates, he requested his
' friends not to present his name.
w York County Decides.
It was the 1S3 votes of all but one
district In New York County that car
ried the Governor's total beyond the
501. a majority of the convention re
quired to. nominate. The nine votes of
Nassau County had brought the Hughes
total to 395. Amid a breathless hush,
in which was incarnate all the Intens
ity of bitterness and suspense which
up to that moment had characterized
the struggle to prevent the renomlna
tion of Mr. Hughes, the secretary of the
convention called, "New York."
Herbert Parsons, president of the
New York County committee, rose in
his place, his slender flsure alert and
tonse with the excitement of the crucial
moment, and said:
"New York County, Second Assembly
District, gives four for Wadsworth, the
balance of the county 183 for Charles E.
Hughes."
A thousand pencils in two seconds had
footed the Hughes total to 578. In as
many heartbeats every person In the
great hall knew that the battle was over
and the place was instantly a bedlam of
cheering.
Woodruff Starts Stampede.
Hardly less sensational was the moment
State Chairman Woodruff delivered to
Mr. Hughes, in spite of a general excla
mation to the contrary, the entire vote
of Kings County, 138. bringing the Gov
ernor's total to 342, for Mr. Woodruff
had been avowedly opposed to the Gov
ernor's nomination. It was really the ac
tion of Kings County which signaled what
might be called a "stampede to Hughes,"
and when the 138 votes were cast In a
block for the Governor, any remaining
doubt of his nomination was swept away.
The convention went fairly wild with the
first real surprise of the roll call, when
Saratoga returned eleven for Charles E.
Hughes, for Saratoga Is the famous home
of racing.
The balloting concluded. Secretary L.
B. Gleason came forward to announce the
result.
"John K. Stewart receives 31. James W.
Wadsworth receives 151. Charles E.
Hughes receives 827," read the secretary
and then there was pandemonium.
Bitterest Enemy In Line.
"I move. Mr. Chairman," said William
Barnes. Jr., "that the nomination of
Hughes be made unanimous."
It was fully a minute before anything
else could be heard or done and then
Frank K. Cook, of Livingston, who had
nominated Wadsworth and Judge J. L
Moore, of" Montgomery, who had nomi
nated Stewart seconded the motion of Jir.
Barnes.
The motion was carried with a deaf
ening shout, and Secretary Root, the
chairman, announced:
"The. unanimous choice of this con
vention as Its aomlnee for Governor
is Charles C- Hushes, of New York."
It was again same moments before
the chairman could compel quiet. The
other nominations Were quickly made,
and at 5:30 P. M. sir. Root declared
the convention adjourned without day.
Adoption of Platform.
When Mr. Root, chairman of the con
vention entered the hall, he was given
an enthusiastic reception, the cheer
ing lasting two minutes. The tem
porary organization having beea made
permanent, the report of the creden
tials committee was submitted and
adopted.
The platform was then ' reported and
read. References to President Roose
velt and Mr. Taft were received witr
applause. At the words, "we indorse
the administration of Governor
Hughes." the convention broke into
cheers and applause. Most of the dele
gates rose, but Albany and Kings
County delegates remained, seated. The
platform follows:
Platform Indorses Taft.
The. Republican party of the state of New
York, in convention assembled, proud of Its
achievements and promising every cftort for
sttH greater accomplishments, declares as
follows:
We heartily ratify tbs ticket nominated
by the Republican National convention at
Chicago and subscribe to the platform there
adopted.
We Indorse the declarations of William H.
Taft and James S. Sherman in accepting
their respective nominations.
We cordially approve the Interpretation
and fulfillment of promises made In Na
tional platforms by Republican Congresses
and by a matchless array of Republican
Presidents from Abraham Lincoln to Theo
dore Roosevelt.
We reaffirm our allegiance to the princi
ples adopted In our state conventions and
applaud the splendid work accomplished for
the people In accordance therewith by Re
publican Governors, state officers and leg
islators. Reasons for Supporting Taft.
At this critical time in the commercial
and natural development of the world, with
a revision of our tariff and our banking and
currency laws Impending, we urge every
believer In sound money and In the Amer
ican policy of protection, the wage-earner,
the farmer and mechanic, to support the
Republican candidates, who are pledged to
sound money and a protective tariff.
We believe the courts. Federal and state,
constitute the citadel of our liberties for all
alike and that the vacancies in the Supreme
Court of the Vnlted States to occur In the
next four, years should be filled by the
trusted and experienced Republican candi
date for the Presidency rather than by an
untried and unstable theorist.
We ask all who believe in Republican
policies, regardless of party affiliations, to
unite with us in the support of Taft and
Sherman and a Republican Congress, to the
end that the people's work, conducted so
splendidly and successfully under President
Roosevelt's administration, shall be con
tinued and extended until all special privi
leges nave been destroyed and adequate
safeguards provided against future abuses.
We Indorse the administration of Governor
Hughes, who has shown himself a cour
ageous executive, resolved to accomplish
what he believes to be for the public good.
He has approved measures passed by a Re
publican Legislature upholding the Integrity
of the Constitution, maintaining the hlgrt
character of the public service, providing
for the proper regulation of corporations and
for the protection of the people's interests.
Every legal voter should be encouraged
to exercise his right of franchise, that the
will of the majority expressed through a
ballot, freely cast and honestly counted, may
prevail. To that end we are opposed to any
form of ballot that shall render It more
difficult for the voter to exercise his con
stitutional privilege of designating on the
ballot the candidate he is to support.
It Is of the highest importance for the
preservation of our representative form of
government that the primaries and conven
tions should truly express the will of the
voters of every political party. That there
may be the freest action In the selection of
the delegates, we favor legislation which
will fully protect every voter against fraud
or coercion and secure to him the fullest
opportunity to vote at his party primary.
HUGHES FEELS MUCH HONORED
Grateful to Republicans for Confi
dence. Placed In Him.
ROCHESTER. N. Y., Sept. 15. "I am
deeply sensible of the honor conferred
upon me. I wish to express my appre
ciation for the confidence reposed In me
by the Republican party."
Thus did Governor Hughes make the
first public statement after his nomi
nation for Governor of New York this
evening. Beyond that. the Governor
would say nothing, either as to his run
ning mates on the Republican ticket or
his policies for the second term should
he be elected.
Governor Hughes passed through Roch
ester early this evening, bound from War
saw to Albany.

nomination on the first ballot. The oppo
sition to Mr. Chanler is still casting about
for a candidate, and the situation was
likened tonight by a number of the dele
gates to that which existed at Saratoga
for two days preceding the final session
of the Republican convention.
Contests Settled In Four Counties.
Settlement of the contests was effected
at a "harmony" conference participated
in by National Chairman Norman 1
Mack. State Chairman William J. Con
ners and Tammany Leader Charles F.
Murphy. It was considered at headquar
ters tonight that the settlement of the
McCarren cases meant that, pending the
election in November, neither Mr. Murphy
nor Senator McCarren will seek to pur
sue their warfare, and that each will lend
hla aid to bringing about the success of
the state and National tickets.
In Kings County the anti-McCarren can
didates were withdrawn. The Mott and
Heffernan factions of Chautauqua County
were jlven seats in the convention with
half a vote each. The contests in Oneida
and Herkimer Counties were withdrawn,
leaving no work for the committee on
credentials to do when it met tonight.
Mr. Mack was pleased with the satis
factory results secured by the harmony
committee, as It paved the way for an
effective contest in the interest of the Na
tional ticket in this state.
Cheers for Bryan and Cleveland.
A conference of the leaders this morn
ing delayed the convention until long past
the hour set for assembling. Large por
traits, of W. J. Bryan. w;ere conspicuous
in the decorations, and there were also a
painting of John W. Kern, the Vice-Presidential
nominee, and a framed lithograph
of Grover Cleveland. When ex-Justice
Morgan J. O'Brien, the temporary chair
man. In his opening address referred to
the services of Grover Cleveland, there
was an outburst of cheering second only
to the demonstrations which followed the
chairman's tribute to the present leader
of the National Democracy.
Mr. Connere called the convention to or
der and introduced Justice O'Brien. When
the latter had ooncluded there was a call
of the roll, the noting of contests, the

pointment of committees, and then the
convention adjourned until 10 o'clock to
morrow morning.

It's the new customer who hasn't worn Columbia
Tailored Clothes that we urge to come at once
today and investigate this wonderful opportunity.
Wearers of Columbia - Tailored Clothes do not need to be
told a second time to get in early for one of these suits.
$3
O and
B35 Soits
Every Suit in the sale 500 in all
is a bargain at the regular price.
We defy anybody to show any Suit
in the lot that can be duplicated for
less than $30 and $35.
When we say "these $30 and $35
Suits for $17.50," we mean the same
workmanship, linings and trimmings,
fit and style that would be included if
sold at regular prices; not a single
feature of our high-grade workman
ship is neglected.
We have been in Portland sixteen
years; have enrolled an army of cus
tomers in that time.
We have the confidence and good
will of every man who has worn a
Columbia-Tailored Suit.
We own and operate our own work
shop the only tailoring-house in the
city that does.
We guarantee that every Suit we
sell will be as .well made as good
workmen can make it will be cut
from the identical pattern you select,
and will be
MADE IN PORTLAND
