Taft Wins On First Ballot > t (Continued from Page 1) the throe progressives from Kentucky wavered and voted for the platform. 1 Maine's entire delegation refused to! cote, and in Maryland of the eight del- i egates counted for the colonel six: stayed with him, one shifted to Taft I and one was absent. There were eighten Roosevelt men in Massachusetts. Os this number ! fourteen remained steadfast, two deserted to Taft and two were absent. | Eight of the ct-’-onel’s supporters .in ; the Michigan delegation stood by ! him. and two went uver to the other, side. Minnesota’s twenty-four were unwavering in their allegiance to Colonel Roosevelt, and refused unanimously to vote. Os the four progressives in the Mississippi delegation, only one was found wanting, and in Missouri, Governor Hadley led the twenty Roosevelt men into the Taft camp on the platform vote. Nebraska's sixteen remained silent when they were called upon, and so did New .Jersey's eighteen as anrnvneed by former Governor Port. The two progressives in New Mexico Hopped and joined the president's numbers. Only five of the Roosevelt followers in New York were game. There were twenty-one progressives in North Carolina and of this number twelve did not answer, six were uu [ sent and three voted with the presi s dent. The thirty-four Roosevelt men Ohio did not flinch and their chairman announced they would not vote. Ft*‘een of the sixteen Roosevelt mt n . in tLe Oklahoma delegation kept mum. The other progressive voted “No.” In Oregon there were six of the colonels men; two of them did not participate in the vote, two were registered against the resolutions and two were absent' Senator Flynn he. 1 th° solid sixty-four in Pennsylvania in line, and Cue sixty-three who were present said nothing when they were called. Os the seven progressives in South Carolina only three were willing to stay with the colonel —the others voted aye.

This epochal occasion, which will loom large in American history, paved the way toward the nomination of Theodore Roosevelt for the presiden cy by the new party, which, under the tentative plans formulated, will assemble the first week in August, probably in Chicago. Colonel Roosevelt at once accepted nomination at the hands of these dele- | gates. But he realizes, as they do, I that when the Coliseum convention adjourned the mission of these delegates pnded. Their nomination, necesarily, was informal; but to make it formal, upon the suggestion of the ; colonel, they will return to their homes and sound public sentiment reI specting the advisability of organiz--1 ing the new party. If they should find that the people j demand sue haction, then a mass convention will be called. If the colonel should be nominated, he will accept and make the best fight of which he is capable. If the convention should decide that some other leader is preferable, be will support him with all his force, I No one realizes more than does Colonel Roosevelt the gravity of the task | end the men with him are undertaking. He knows the serious difficulties in the way of the successful formaI tion of a new party, the inevitable mistakes which must accompany it. the tremendous work which is involved. But the cause is so mighty—the ! cause ci human rights—that he is eni tering the battle with the joy of a . soldier, embarking upon a campaign for the life of his country. Every line of the speech he delivered Saturday evening to the audience in Orchestra hall represented the convictions of his soul. He feels that no longer must the people supinely submit to the outrageous and cynical thwarting of their will by bosses representing special interests and special privilege, manifest in the republican convention. He feels tbat the door of opportunity must be opened wide to them and that no longer must they be debarred from the exercise of their pclitical and complete rights. ~ Chicago, 111., June 24—(Special to Daily Democrat)—The permanent organization of the republican national committee, the disposition of the 1 Roosevelt men, who still hold places , as committeemen, and the work of the ' organization during the coming campaign for re-election, will be decided jby President Taft. This was decided j on 'ey the national committee in a I shot t session here today. A committee of nine men was appointed to confer with the president as soon as possible. Chicago, 111., .lune 24—(Special to ailv eurocrat) —Colonel Roosevelt today conferred with a committee m seven named at yesterday's session as Roosevelt delegates to the republican national convention, regarding plans for the formation of the national progressive party Roosevelt announced . that he would leave this afternoon for his home at Oyster Bay. ' - ‘ FOUND ROCK TODAY. I The esCavation tor the lasi abut- ' ment for the new bridge is about finished as rock was found this morning about thirty feet below the present street level. The balance of the lirt in the crib will probably be all gotten out today and the placing of the concrete will begin somtimy to- , morow. After the foundation is placed the erection of the forms for the arches will begin and will be a matter of some weeks in their erection. The arches will probably be placed at that time, as the foundations wilrno doubt be hardened enough to withstand the pressure. o — Real estate transfers: Aaron Troutner et al. to C. L.
