dent and James Schoolcraft Sherman,
of New York, for vice-president.
President Taft received 561 of the
1078 votes in the convention, or 21
more than a majority.
The result of the ballot was: Taft
561, Roosevelt 107, La Follette 41,
Cummins 17, Hughes, 2, absent 6,
present, but not voting, 344.
The result of the ballot for vice-
president w as: Sherman 597, Borah
21, Merriam 20, Hadley 14, Beveridge
2, Gillett 1, absent 71, present, but
not voting, 852. The decision of the
Roosevelt people, under direction of
their leader, to refrain from voting,
left no other candidate near th<* presi­
dent. The announcement of the Taft
victory wps greeted with cheering
from his adherents and groans and
hisses from the opposition.
When it became absolutely certain
early today that Mr. Taft would be
nominated without great difficulty,
the leaders in control of the conven­
tion decided to give him as a running
mate his companion on the ticket in
1908. All others dropped from the race
and Mr. Sherman was the only candi­
date regularly placed before the con­
vention. A motion from New Hamp­
shire to make the nomination by ac­
clamation was declared out of order.
There were many scattering votes on
the roll call that ensued.
The convention, amid much confus­
ion, adjourned sine die.
At no time was there any indication
of a walkout of Roosevelt delegates.
They expressed their revolt by silence.
Chicago, June 22. — Senator Root
made chairman of the committee to
notify President Taft.
Thomas H.
Devine, of Colorado, to head vice-
presidential notification committee.
Roosevelt appealed to the people of all
sections, regardless of party affilia­
tions, to stand with the founders of
the new party, one of whose cardinal
principles, he said, was to be “ Thou
shalt not steal.’’
The informal nomination of Colonel
Roosevelt was said to be chiefly for
the purpose of effecting a temporary
organization. Beginning tomorrow,
when a call is to be issued for a state
convention in Illinois, the work of or­
ganization will be pushed forward rap­
idly, state by state.
At a later time, probably in August,
Temporary organization made per­ a national convention will be held.

Borah Nips Boom in Bud.
Chicago, June 20.—The Borah pres­
idential boom was nipped in the bud
this morning by the Senator himself.
When he came downstairs this morn­
ing Senator Borah found his Idaho
friends distributing badges, streamers
and hat bands bearing the legend,
“ Borah for President.” Instantly he
appealed to his admirers to recall
their campaign material, for he re­
fused to take their abullition as more
than a compliment and did not want
to be the laughing stock of the con­
vention.
Southern Issue Opened
Chicago, June 19.—With the sul-
mission of a minority report tonight
signed by 11 members of the rules

The announcement was made at
midnight by W. H. Coleman, the
member from Pennsylvania whose
resolution providing for such reduc­
tion had been tabled earier in the
evening by the committee.

Darrow Agent Perjured.
Los Angeles — George Behm, of
Portage. Wis., an uncle of Ortie Mc-
Manigal, testified at the bribery trial
of Clarence S . Darrow that Darrow
had brought him to Los Angeles to get
Ortie McManigal to repudiate his con
fession. Behm testified also that he
had denied before the grand jury that
he had tried to influence McManigal,
as Darrow had told him so to testify.
Behm contradicted the latter state­
ment and said Darrow had told him to
refuse to answer questions regarding
his relations with McManigal.
