SHERMAN WINS (Continued from page 1.) New York delegation sat Sherman himself, his countenance wreathed in smiles. Governor Wilson, of Kentucky seconded Sherman’s nomination. Chairman Lodge called Fordesing. a colored man from Illinois to the chair and when Massachusetts was called, nominated Gov Guild of that state. Chicago, June 18. —For president of the United States, William H. Taft, of Ohio.

Taft on the first ballot; Taft by 702 votes; Taft by the unanimous choice of the convention. Such is the record of the culminating day of the Republican .national convention of 1908, effected amid scenes of tumultuous enthusiasm and after a nerve-racking continuous session, lasting nearly eight hours. With the president named and the platform enunciated, there remains only the nomination of the vice president to complete this momentous work. Tonight the whole city is given over to wild exaltation in honor of the new candidate whose name goes echoing through the country. Th e picture within the vast ampitheater as the presidential candidate was named today was truly grandiose in its magnitude. In front, to the 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 favrite sons of other states had been named, save Knox and LaFollette, and now on the roll call came Ohio. As the buckeye state was reached, the tall, gaunt form of Theodore E. Burton, with student-like face and severe black clerical garb, advanced to the platform to nominate Ohio's candidate. He spoke fervently, with the ringing voice of an evangelist, which went through the great building. The close of his speech of nomination was the signal for loosing the long pent up feelings of the Taft legions. Instantly the Ohio delegates were on their feet, other Taft states following; while the convention hosts in gallery and on floor, broke into mad demonstrations.

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 totalled 427. Ohio carried the Taft total to 551, or twenty more than enough to nominate. Still the count went on until the final result was announced by Chairman Lodge. Announces the Vote. “For Theodore Roosevelt, 3 votes’ for Joseph B. Foraker, of Ohio, 16 votes; for Charles W. Fairbanks, of Indiana, 40 votes; for Joseph G. Cannon, of Illinois 61 votes; for Robert LaFollette of Wisconsin, 25 votes; for Charles E Hughes of New York, 63 votes; for Philander C. Knox, of Pennsylvania. 68 votes, and for William H. Taft, of Ohio, 702 votes. ’ A great shout went up as Lodge concluded his announcement, and with one accord the cohorts of Cannon and Knox and Hughes and the others joined In a common tribute for the candidate of the party. Roosevelt on Taft. Washington, June 18. —Immediately was called and seconded the nominaupon receiving the news of the nomination of Secretary Taft for the presidency, President Roosevelt said: “I feel that th e country is indeed to he congratulated upon the nomination of Mr. Taft

"I have known him intimately for many years, and I have a peculiar feeling for him because throughout that time we worked for the same object with the same purposes and ideals. “I do not believe there could be found in all the country a man so well fitted to be president. "He is absolutely fearless, hbsolutely disinterested and upright, but he has the widest acquaintance with the nation's needs without any within and the broadest sympathies with all our citizens. “He would be as emphatically a president of the plain people as Lincoln, yet not Lincoln himself would be freer from the least taint of demagogy. the least tendency to arouse or appeal to class hatred of any kind. “He has a peculiar and intimate knowledge of and sympathy with the needs of all our people—of the farmer, of the wage worker, of the business man. of the property owner. “No matter what a man's occupation or social position, no matter what his creed, his color or the section of the country from which he comes, if he is an honest, hard-working man, who tries to do his duty toward his neighbor and toward the country, he can rest assured that he will have in Mr. Taft the most upright of representatives and th e most fearless of champions. “Mr. Taft stands against privilege
