Chicago, June 19. Sher
man was nominated for vice
president on the first ballot, the
total vote being: Sherman, 816;
Guild, 7; Murphy. 77. Sher
man's nomination was then
made unanimous.
Chicago, June 19. When the con
tention took up the nomination of
candidates for the vice presidency
Delaware gave way to New Tork In
the roll call and State Chairman Tim
othy Woodruff of New Tork, present
ed the name of Representative Sher
man as the candidate from that state.
Arthur L. Vorys, the original Taft
manager, predicts Sherman will be
nominated on the first ballot.
The nomination of Sherman was
seconded by Speaker Cannon.
Woodruff In nominating Sherman
said: "We feel that unless our state
Is given second place after we unsuc
cessfully presented the name of a
presidential candidate, we will be re-J
turned to the vast constituency of
New Tork without a certainty that
the ticket will meet with success."
He said no national republican
ticket with a New Torkcr on It was
ever defeated except when the demo
crats placed a New Torker at the
head of their ticket and said "our
candidate is one of the strongest in
the nation. As president of a nation
al bank In a strong financial region
he le well versed In the Intricate
problems of business and finance."
When he named Sherman the lat
ter was given a big ovation, indicating
he was an easy winner.
Cannon As Doorkeeper.
Cannon said: "Uncle Joe" would
rather be a doorkeeper In the house
of the Lord than dwell In the tents
of wickedness." He was forced to
wait until the cheering stopped,
when he continued: "Since the or
ganlzatlon of the party, republicans
have been faithful to the hopes, Ideals
and aspirations of the American peo
pie."
He congratulated tho convention
upon Taft's nomination. As he con
cluded he was given the greatest ova
tion.
, F. A. Dcnnlson, an Illinois negro,
was called to the chair and presided
, over the convention while Chairman
Lodge took tho floor and placed
Guild In nomination.
Cannon had his trousers tucked In
the tops of his congress gaiters and
his vest opened when he left the plot
form. He was hot and poured Ice
water on his head and back of his
neck.
He said: "Taft and Sherman fill
the Bill. I believe they will be elect
ed." Senator Qallinger of New Hamp
shire offered a resolution naming
Lodge as chairman of a committee to
notify Taft of his nomination and
Senator Penrose as chairman of the
committee to notify Sherman.
Lodge refused to accept suggesting
Senator .Warner of Missouri and this
was agreed to.
Penrose refused to serve and Sen
ator Burroughs took his place.
Sherman Sure From Start,
j When the vote was taken It was
realised almost Immediately that
Sherman would win. New York's vote
Of 78 gave him the nomtnatjon.
' Senator Crane of Massachusetts
made a motion that the nomination
be made unanimous.
' Lodge announced later that the
national committee would meet for
after the
adjourned
organization Immediately
adjournment.
The convention then
sine die at 11:47.
Taft Congratulates Sherman
Washington, June 19. Taft sent
the following to Sherman: "I sin
cerely congratulate you 'on the noml
nation and welcome you as a col
league In the contest. I look forward
with confidence In the result of our
Joint struggle. Will meet you In
Cincinnati tomororw to confer on
matters of Importance, one of the
matters Is the choice of a campaign
manager."
Roosevelt Wires Sliornian.
Washington. June 19. Roosevelt
today wired Sherman as follows
"Accept my hearty congratulations
and earnest good wishes for the sua
cess of the ticket of Taft and Sher
man."
Sore SpoM Remain,
This afternoon Is being spent In
celebrating. The delegates and visit
ors are cheering for the nominees.
Many of the leaders are so tired they
went to their hotels to rest.
There Is a general feeling of satis
faction among the republicans over
the result. AH 111 feeling is forgot
ten. Indiana .delegates, however, have
not recovered from their resentment
nt the treatment accorded Governor
Hanley while he was nominating
Fairbanks.
The Wisconsin contingent Is also
In a bad humor over the failure of
the resolutions committee to adopt a
more radical platform. They speak
of Representative Cooper as a hero
In making a minority report and
fighting for it on the floor.
The vice presidential candidates
who were retired. Hammond, Knight,
Dowver and Cummins, all express
confidence In the ticket.
Hard Fight Promised
Congressman Martin Olmstead of
Pennsylvania, said with the Taft
Sherman ticket In the field, his state
would give a republican majority of
half a million. The New Yorkers say
It will be a hard fight In their state
this fall. The democrats claim they
will carry the state by a big majority
ns a result of the dlssentton in the
republican ranks.

"The Knights of Pythlaa grand
lodge session just held In Portland
waa one of the best ever held," said
M. A. Rader, past chancellor of Da
mon lodge No. 4 of this city, who re
turned home from the grand lodge
this morning.
Mr. Rader Is Justly proud of the
fact that Pendleton was unanimously
chosen as the meeting place for the
grand lodge In 1909 and believes that
eastern Oregon. will turn out an
enormous attendance at that time,
Pendleton had no opposition when
the time came to select the next
meeting place.
Much Important legislation was en
acted by the grand lodge at this ses
slon, but one of the most Important
movements started was to erect a
grand lodge castle hall at Portland
for the use of grand lodges for all
time to come. This matter was start
ed by a resolution setting aside a
certain sum of grand lodge funds each
year as a building fund and within a
few years Oregon Knights of Pythias
will have one of the finest state
homes In the United States.
There Is some opposition to the
plan of building a state castle hall
from the country lodges, but It Is ar
gued that at any time the grand
lodge wishes to hold a session away
Trom Portland that It could be done,
although the castle hall may be lo
cated in Portland. At the present
time but 36 of the 104 lodges In the
state of Oregon are located east of
the Cascade mountains. Most of the
membership Is therefore directly;
tributary to Portland and would be
convenient to grand lodge meetings
in that city
J. W. Maloney and E. B. Aldrich
will return from Portland tomorrow
morning, while J. H. Gwlnn will re
turn perhaps Sunday evening. These
three with Mr. Jader constituted
Pendleton's representation at the
grand lodge.
Pendleton school district Is 17000
to the good after closing one of the
most successful terms In the history
of the district.
According to the report of Clerk
Livermore, submitted at the annual
school meeting Monday and completed
as to details yesterday,, the actual
cash balance on hand at the close of
the year, June 13, was $6,998.66. The
balanec on hand at the close of last
year was S3, 642. 35.
The total amount of receipts for
the year was $ 3 9,000, while the dis
bursements were $37,000, of this
amount, approximately $20,000 was
paid out in teachers' salaries.

Jail for a long term of years, months,

This is the edict Issued this morn
ing by R. Alexander, president of the
Commercial association, and he de
clares It must be enforced If he Is
compelled to call out the local com.
pany of the national guard to carry
out his orders. But as It has been
the opinion of a large proportion of
Pendleton's citlsens that this was the
proper thing to do there Is little doubt
but that all will fall In line and ente
Into the plan with enthusiasm.
The feeling prevails here that since
the other towns of the county have
for years and years joined with Pen
dleton In making big celebrations
here that It Is the proper thing for county.
Pendleton to, 'this once at least, fore
go, the pleasure of having a celebra
tion and help Pilot Rook, Helix, Echo, .
Milton, Athena and the other towns
which have made their arrangements, .
to have the biggest and best celebra--tlons
In their history- Then, next
year it will be in line to Invite these
towne to once more Join with Pen
dleton. Alexander declares that Umatilla
county people should celebrate In
Umatilla county and he Is anxious
that the residents of this city divide
up as much as possible and not all go
to one place. From present indica
tions there will be much to do and
enjoy In nearly every town In the
