ROOSEVELT STAMPEDE A FAILURE
Nominating Speech Made by Senator
Burton Taft'a Name Starti
Whirlwind of Enthusiasm.
Chicago, June 19. For president of
the United Statss, William II. Taft, of
Ohio.
Taft on tho flrt ballot. Taft by 702
votes. Taft br the unanimous choice of
tho convention.
Such is the record of tho culminating
day of tho llcpublican national conven
tion of IOCS, effected amid scene of tu
multuous enthusiasm, and after a nerve
racking continuous session lasting near
ly eight hours. With tho president
named and the platform enunciated,
there remains only the nomination for
vice-president to complete the momen
tous work. Last night the wholo city
was given over to wild exultation in
honor of tho new candidate, who-tt
name goes echoing through the country.
The picture within the walls of the
vast amphitheater as the prcsidentlil
candidato was named was one truly
grand in its magnitude. In front, to
tbo right and left, below and above,
the billowing sea of humanity, 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 Kollcttc,
and now on the rollcall came Ohio.
As tho Huekcyc state was reached,
the tall, gaunt form of Theodore K.
liurton, with student-like faeo and se
vere black, clerical garb, advanced to
tho platform to nominate Ohio's candi
date. He spoko fervently, with the
singing voice of an evangelist, which
went ringing through the great building.
The elose of his speech of nomination
was tho signal for the long pent up
feeling of tho Taft legions. Instantly
the Ohio delegates were on their feet,
other Taft states following, while the
convention hosts in gallery and on tloor
broko into a mad demonstration.
"Taft, Taft, W. 11. Taft," came In a
roar from tho Obioans. Megaphones
seemed to spring from concealed places
and swell the Taft tumult into thunder.
A huge, blue silk banner bearing tho
familiar features of the statesman-secretary
was swung before the delegates,
awakening a fresh whirlwind of en
thusiasm. AH semblance of order had been
abandoned, and the delegates were n
maelstrom of gesticulating men. The
guidons of the states wero snatched
up by the Taft enthusiasts or borne
undor by the storm of disorder. The
band was inaudible a mere whisper
above the deafening volume of sound.
For 10. 15. yes SO minutes this uproar
was continued. It was a repetition oft
me seene oi ncunvsuay, wucu iuc uaiua
of Itoosevelt brought the convention
into a frenzy. Hut there is a limit to
the physical resources of throat and
lung, relays had not been established
and at last tho tired voices died down
to a hoarse shout and subsided.
This lull now gave the opportunity
for the speech seconding Taft's nomina
tion by George A. Knight, of Cali
fornia, bis big, round faco beaming
forth on the sympathetic multitudo and
Ms splendid baritone voice going forth
like the tones of a great chureh organ.
California's tribute to Taft was brief
nnd fervid. Now there was andtber
lull in the Taft movement, white tho
remaining candidates were placed in
nomination.
The secretary was powerless to make
Ms eall of states beard abovo the deaf
ening elamor. Seizing a megaphone, he
shouted the roll of states: "Alabama,"
"Arkansas," but his volco was swal
lowed up in tbo mad uproar. Gradu
ally, however, the curiosity of the .mul
titude conquered its 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 that Taft
was far In advance. When New York
was reached the Taft column totaled
47. Ohio carried the Taft total to
511, or SO more than enough to nomi
nate. HUH the call went on until the
final result was announced by Chair
man Lodgo:
"For Theodore Roosevelt, 3 votes;
for Joseph II. Foraker, of Ohio, 10
votes; for Charles W. Fairbanks, of
Indiana, 40 votes; for Joseph O. Can
non, of Illinois, 58 votes; for Robert
La Follette, of Wisconsin, 25 votes; for
Charles K. Hughes, of New York, 67
votes; for Philander C. Knox, of I'enn
ylvania, 08 votes, and for William II.
Taft, of Ohio, 702 votes."
Prohibit Tips and Cause Strike.
Cherbourg, Juno 10. Tho agents of
tho North German Lloyd lino bavo for
bidden the Jockworkera in their cm
ploy to accept gratuities for the trans
ferring of passengers' baggage from
train to steamer at this1 port, nnd conse
quently tho men yesterday refused to

TAFT AND SHERMAN.
New York Congressman Nominated
for Vlco President.
Chicago, June 20. Taft and Slier
man. Tins is the ticket of the Re
publican party, completed yesterday
as the Republican national couven
tion concluded with the nomination
of James S. Sherman, of New York,
for vice-president, amid a final roar
of tumultuous demonstration. Again
the vast assembly was swept with
wave on wave of wild, exultant
clamor, as the multitude, realising
that at last the work was done and the
record made upon which the Rcpub
lican party goes "before the country,
united in one last, mighty outburst
of enthusiastic tribute to the men
who will bear forward the standard
in the struggle now at hand.
Another inspiring picture was pre
sented yesterday as the convention
named its candidate for ucc-proi-ilent
The enormous throng had
waited through an liour of oratory,
sweltering in the heat-laden atmos
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-luted
lilies of femininity in the circling gal
leries, and over all the en eloping
folds of Old 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 arrivals 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 wartiorsc of the
party was also shown by the crowds
of delegates purging about him to
grasp his hand ami bid him welcome
The preliminaries were brief, and
at 10 30 the nominating speeches for
vice-president began, with a limit of
ten minutes to each speaker On the
call of states, Delaware yielded to
New York, and cx-Lieutcnant Gov
ernor Timothy L. Woodruff mounted
the platform for a glowing speech
placing in nomination Sherman a
New York's choice for the vice-presidency
Now- came a surprise, as the
venerable Cannon, with his Lincoln
like visage and shaggy heard, 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
appeared, 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 was thrown
wide 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
arms 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
were scattering votes, but the great
body of delegates swelled the total
of Sherman until it touched SM. With
keen appreciation of the effect of ell
max. Chairman Lodge announced ik
result, reserving Sherman's huge total
until the last:
"Vice-President Fairbanks gets one
vote; Governor Sheldon, of Nebraska.
10 votes; Governor Curtis Guild, of
Massachusetts, 76; Governor Murphy,
of New Jersey. 77 votes, ami James S.
Sherman, of New York. 818 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 nominatlun nf
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 an
"American dauphin," adding: "There
is something Napoleonic about this
creation of new dynastic legitimacy
under the Stars audStripcs."

would In) desirable farming IhhiI if the
Ktumps could bo removed at n reason

stump, estimated to contain four cords,
including the root, wuteh lie salil
would contain at least $15 worth nf
turpentine. Other stumps and roots in
the same neighlMirhood would develop
in proortien. The .intern used in pru
dueing this turH-ntinc is a very simple
one, but to be wed to advantage there
must lx sufllcient stumps in a vicinity
to warrant the establishment of m plant
as it would not be profitable to bring
tho stumt and roots to a central plant.
Dr. Hawley will receive from tho Wal

ami roots with which he will make
careful tests at his laboratory at the

TOMATOES PAY WELL.
Grants Pass Farmers Double Their
Acreage.
Grants Pass The tomato industry
of Rogue River valley has made rapid
strides, particularly since the ecctPMi
of the cannery last year, and the
smalt farmer ami berry raiser have
found it profitable to set out idle
laud with the young plants This
year's acreage will be double that of
last year, and it is anticipated that
it will increase iu like manner for
several years, for the reason the can
nery has a capacity to take all the
growers can produce for the next
five rars; in fad, it is understood
that the company will contract to
that effect
The plants do well here when
planted in rows five and U feci
apart, and plintcd in this manner
they will usually produce from tn to
lit tons an acre, and find ready mar
ket at tio a ton for canning purposes
The necessary expenses for harvest
ing and marketing arc JJJ an acre
The tomato plant, if properly culti
vated, will grow from fosir to five
feet high, and cover a proportionate
space Visitors who have lixiked over
the field where the matured plant are
laden with fruit, have reinarkrd that
they looked . more like trees than
vines. During the picking season
which opens in August ami extends
through November, men, women and
children are employed to harvest the
crop
Owing to the soil and rank growth
of the plant, many find it ueeessar)
to prune the vines after they have
bloomed, so as to divert the energy
of the tree into the fruit instead id
vine and foliage
All raisers use racks. This keeps
the fruit clean, holding the vine off
the ground and preventing rot. It is
estimated that tSMM can Ik realized as
a net profit upon each acre.
Cherries by the Ton.
Cove It is estimated that, with
the nrw cherry orchards coming in
this season, not less than too tons of
cherries will he shipped from here
and require twice the number nf
