Chicago, June 30 Taft and Sher
man. This is the ticket of the Re
publican party, completed yesterday
aa the Republican national conven
tion concluded with the nomination
of Janies S Sharnian, ut New York,
for vice president, amid a final roar
of tumultuou, demonstration
Again
the vast assembly was «wept with
wave on wave of wild, exultant
clamor, as the multitude, realizing
that at last the work wa« done and the
record made upon which the Repub
lican party goes before the country,
united in one last, mighty outburst
id enthusiastic tribute to the men
who will be.tr forward the standard
in the struggle now at hand.
Another inspiring picture was pre
sented yesterday as the convention
named its candidate for vice presi
dent The enormous throngs had
waited through an hour of oratory,
swrllcring in the he.it laden atinos
phere, packed, as before, into solid
masses of humanity, with only here
and there a few vacant spots in the re
mote gallery—the delegates in the
broad arena below, the bright-hued
lines of femininity in the circling gal
lerirs, and over all the enveloping
folds of < lid Glory.
From the outset it was distinctly a
Sherman crowd, with galleries al
ready trained into choruses of Sher
man songs and an invading host of
Sherman
marchers
starting
the
echoes ringing with a huge portrait
of the New York candidate
Among
the early arrtvals on the floor was
Speaker Cannon, only yesterday a
candidate for president, but today
here and a pillar of strength in the
Sherman movement
The widespread
affection for the old warhorse of the
party was also shown by the crowds
of tielegatee yurging about him to
grasp his hand and bid him welcome
T he preliminaries were brief, and
at to 3» the nominating speeches for
vice president began, with a limit of
ten minutes to each speaker On the
<■ill of states, Delaware yielded to
New York, and ex l ieutenant Gov
ernor Timothy I. Woodruff mounted
the platform for a glowing speech
placing in nomination Sherman as
New York’s choice for the vice-presi
dency
Now came a surprise, as the
venerable Cannon, with his Lincoln-
like visage and shaggy beard, emerged
from the Illinois delegation, and.
stepping to the platform, was yielded
unanimous consent to , second the
nomination of Sherman
Such a picture of sturdy, homely,
plain American citizenship as Cannon
appcareij as he advanced before the
throng, which rose to do him hom
age, has seldom been seen before a
national convention
His face was
beaded with sweat, his collar had
melted to a rag which hung limp
about his neck
His vest wa« thrown
wiile open exposing a crumpled shirt,
and the sleeves of his black alpaca
coat curled up about his dangling
cuffs to his elbows as his waving
arm« emphasized his ringing words
for his colleague and friend, James
S Sherman, of New York.
From the outbursts of enthusiasm
which greeted every mention of Sher
man's name it was plain that the mind
of the convention had been made up
and that the decision was only to be
recorded
Now began the vote, taken amid
confusion at first, which increased as
the totals climbed upward to the
nominating point
The result was
never in doubt, as the totals of states
were heaped one upon another. There

Massachusetts. 7.1; Governor Murphy,
of New Jersey. 77 vote* and James S
Sherman, of New York. 816 votes ”
After this the floodgates of wild en
thusiasm were let loose, as floor and
gallery joined in a pandemonium of
demonstration for the nominee
"Taft Is American Dauphin.’’
London, June 20—Most of the
morning newspapers and the weeklies
which came out today printed edi
torials on President Roosevelt’s tri
umph in securing the nomination of
Secretary of War Taft for the presi
dency The Daily Chronicle says:
"To save the life of his policies, he
loses his life as president
It is an
interesting phenomenon" The Daily
Graphic describes Mr. Taft as ait
‘‘American dauphin,’’ adding: "There
is something Napoleonic about this
creation of new dynastic legitimacy
under the Stars and Stripes."
"Roosevelt's Right Arm.”
Paris, June 20.—The Journal des
Debats regards the nomination of Mr
Taft as an evidence of the imperial
istic tendency and the recognition of
the United States that it must assume
its ’hare of the ‘responsibility for the
world " The paper thinks both pres
ent parties are now committed to the
intervention of the federal power for
the control of the trusts The Jour
nal characterizes Mr Taft as Presi

»ays he is committed to a continuance
of the oresident’s policies.

The lynchings followed the killing
of two white men by negroes. Two
weeks ago Hugh Dean and several
other white men visited a n>-gro church
and schoolhouse, where a dance was in
progress, presumably in quest
of
liquor, it being the custom of some of
the negroes to sell whisky during the
progress of such affairs. During th-i
evening Dean was killed and six ne
gross were held for the killing.
At the preliminary examination evi
dence tending to show that the plot
was planned at the dance to kill Dean
was produced. Saturday last Aaron
Johnson, a prominent farmer, was as
aawinated while seated at the dining
table with his wife and child, the bul
let taring fired through a window. For
this crime Perry Price, a negro, was
arresttd, and, it ia stated, confessed,
implicating Robert Wright, a relative
of one of the negroes held for Dean’s
murder. Price declared be was offered

Then followed the forming of a mob

jailer at Hemphill, and the lynching of
the six negroes held for the murder of
Dean. Five were banged to the same
tree, while another attempted to escape
and was shot to death.
l.ater in the night William McCoy,
another negro, was shot and killed
while standing at the gate of the John
son home, and this morning the bodies
of two more negroes were found in tbo

Opposition to Accept.
Chicago, June 18 -The biggest
problem before the resolutions com
mittee of the Republican National
convention—that of the proposed
plank in the platform dealing with
the question of the limitation of court
injunctions in labor controversies,
was disposed of at 2 A M today,
when, by a vote of 35 to 16, with one
state (South Carolina) not recorded,
the full committee agreed to the
plank. It was predicted after the vote
that there would be no fight on the
matter on the floor of the convention
when the full report of the committee i
was made today.
The full committee adopted the|
statehood plank for Arizona and New
Mexico, thus reversing the subcom
mittee's action
At 2 30 A. M. the committee ad
journed.
The vote on the injunction plank
is «aid to have been as follows:

Chicago, June 18.—(2 A. M.)—Sen

on the Republican ticket. This has
been definitely decided in important
conferences
tonight.
Despite

Yells for Roosevelt.
Chicago. June 18.—The second day
of the Republican national conven
tion brought the long-expected Roose
velt yell, a whirlwind of enthusiasm,
which raged within the vast amphi
theater of the Coliseum for ful'v 45
minutes, for a time presenting to the
timid the specter of a Roosevelt stam-
nede This demonstration was de
cidedly the feature of a day otherwise
notable for a stirring speech from the
permanent chairman of the conven
tion. Senator Henry Cabot Lodge, «.f
Massachusetts; for much political
procedure in placing the convention
on a smooth running basis, and for
final defeat of the plan to reduce the
representation of Southern States at
future national conventions.
Probably the most important act of
the day and the one having greatest
significance on the final result of the
convention was the adoption of the
report of the committee on creden
tials. seating the Taft delegations
practically in toto. If there had been
any lingering doubt of the Taft
strength, it disappeared before this
decisive action, which in effect placed
more than TOO delegates in the Taft
column
Equally important and even
more remarkable was the final ac
ceptance of this result by the “allies"
without the formality of a dissenting
minority report and without carrying i
the question to the floor of the con
vention for the open fight which has
been long threatened.
Chicago, June 23.—The hottest day
of the year, with the mercury standing
at 94 degrees, brought death and suf
fering to Chicago. Eight deaths were
reported to the coroner’s office, and
heat prostrations were numerous.
In addition, a mad-dog scare spread
through the city, and the chief of po
lice ordered his men to shoot all un
muzzled dogs. A similar order issued
at Morton’s Park, a suburb, resulted in
the killing of 40 dogs in a few hours.
