CirtCACO, June 20. The nomination
of Senator (linrh W. Fairbanks for

tonight when New York decided to
east ker seventy-eigh- ? votes for him
While it has seemed a foregone conclu
sion for some time that the Indiana
Senator would be Uoosevelt 's running
mate,th?re j have ben efforts made to
hrin out other candidates and start a
stampede among t-e delegates for some
other man. TUesa attempts failed al
most in their inception and it elearly be
came apparent tbac Fairbanks was the
eboice of most of the delegations.
Considerable eriticicm has been di
rected at Fairbanks because of his fail
nre to definitely declare his position.
All ; that has len possible to obtain
from him was a statement that he did
not ernsider it ua honor which a man
KhouM seek or ueein, and if the party
wanted him ha would accept, although
he was not a candidate and would not
allow the Indiana delegation to express'
itself in favor of bis nomination. This
attitude tended, to irritate some lenders
who say no rms;i why the Senator
should not come squarely out with a for
mal statement. ;

The will says' Mrt Loiter has pur
chased title of 7500 acres of eoal lands
in Illinois, and certain shares of the
capital stock of the Upiversal Company
and directs that a corporation may be
formed, -under he Illinois laws to oper

EX-SECRETARY OT NAVY FAVORS
PRESENT SECRETARY OF WAR

HAS SPLENDID QUALIFICATIONS
The Ticket, Roosevelt and Taft, Would,
.- ' It Is Urged, Sweep the
Country.
Five Reasons for Favoring Secretary of
War Would Be of Great Assistance
to President Roosevelt Not Neces
sary That Ha Should Remain in the
Cabinet.
CIITCAOO, June 0 John D. Long,
Of Massachusetts, ex Secretary of the
Navy, today .mtecrized the Associated
Press to announce that his candidacy
for tho Vice Presidency was William II.
Taft, Secretary of War, whom he re
gards as in every respect the most avail
able man.
"There can bo no- question of Mr.
Taft,' said Mr.. Long.- ."lie has made
his record. The country knows him, and
the ticket, 'Roosevelt and Taft,' would
in my opinion, rtveep the country. My
reasons for favoring Mr. Taft are these:
' ."First, eminori nualif ications as a.
presiding oflier; dignity, sound judg
ment and deliberation are characteris
tic of the man. .
"Second, his close and warm, friend
ship for the President. lie certainly
wonld make an agreeable running mate
for M'j Roosevelt.
"Third, the act that he is splendid
ly qualified for the responsibilities
which devolve i:pon the iVco President
in ease of an emergency, and, lastly, or
perhaps, I should have said first, the
faot that thor? a strong sentiment
throughout the country trending to
ward Taft for the Presidency in 1&0S.
"Objection w?nld be urged to Mr.
Taft on the ground that it would re
move a strong man from the Cabinet1
and jut him in position less promi
nent before the country. To the first
objection I wonld" twy that Mr. Taft
would he of immense assistance to the
President, as hi is now; and to the sec
ond point, Mr. .Taft is so well known
that it is impoib!e to lose sight of
him. True, be has recently assumed the
war portfolio, bt his work is in a sense
completed, so far ns the Philippines is
concerned, and tlic-re is no great emer
gency j which would recessitate him re
maining Secretary of War.
"My suggestion of Mr. Taft is every
where ; being warmly received, and es
pecially among tne Eastern delegations
the sentiment seeii:s to favor him for
the Vice Presidential nomination."

very large. The pastor paid a glowing

who so recently completed a long and

Dear, folded hands, so worn with care,
So quiet on the ! pulseless breast.
Will any bunion need yon there,
If heaven is a plae of rostf
And'you, dear hearf will you forget,
The struggle of these lower lands,
Or is there some sweet service yet
For folded bauds?

Pom of- a never ending need;
Our selfishness it was to ask,
Your . sweet unselfishness to heed, j
And now in the unwanted rest
Long promised in th'e ltetter lands,
How can you sit an idle guest
With folded bands!
No tears to dry, no wounds to bind,
No sufferer to tend and bless
Whore will1 those eager fingers find
A neertl for all their tenderness?
Yet knowing all they did before,
Perchance the Father understands, ,
Anl holds some precious work in store
For foUad hands. - "
