Nominated first in the hearts of the people and then by the practically unanimous vote of the Republican National convention, William Howard Taft today starts his campaign to win at the polls next November in the cause of Republicanism and Good Government. Small party Jealousies and petty feelings have been swept away with the naming of Taft and the party confidently looks forward to a landslide election and a continuation of the Rooseveltian policies, to which Mr. Taft has pledged himself and his administration. Tried in nearly every walk of life from which are taken our presidents, William H. Taft lacks not in one det tail the qualities which are pre-requi-site. His knowledge of the law and tta workings dates back to the years he served as prosecuting attorney at Cincinnati, followed by a seat on the tuperior court bench. President Benjamin Harrison then appointed Taft Eocicitor general, and his success in this capacity marked the beginning of his eventful and most useful career as a servant of the nation. Taft was Involved in the Behring Sea troubles with Russia and in litigation concerning a tariff measure, but won decided victories in both of these historical cases, and against the leading counsel of the United States. But it was on the Federal bench In his native state that the man who is to be the next president, demonstrated bis judicial ability. For seven years he held one of the most coveted posi tions it is in the power of nation to give, outside of the presidency and the supreme court, and when he resigned to set up for the Philippines a lasting self-government, he left behind him a wonderful record. The more recent achievements of Mr. Taft are remarkably similar to the acts of President Roosevelt. He ac complished the impossible in the Ori ent, if such a term may be used, and Ktlned for himself and for the United States unfading honor in his treatment of the rebellious Filipinos. So well did fee perform his task that just before the start of the second Roosevelt

administration, he was made secretary

of war, and the big, warm-hearted head of this department has made the words spell "Peace" so plainly that the nation's dealings with foreign powers have never before been conducted on so friendly a basis as at the present time. The great Taft won his victory at the convention through the unfailing appreciation of the common people of the country. It was thoroughly merited, as his opponents are forced to declare. and Fairbanks, Hughes and Knox boomers all of them leaped upon their chairs to take part in the joyful demonstration. The nation will be safe in the hands of such a man as William Howard Taft. He is a statesman, diplomat, and Jurist. His highest ideals are to complete the noble works commenced by his friend and counsellor, Theodore Roosevelt, and when the polls close next November, the American people will have proven their appreciation of the past twelve years of rising prosperity and public confidence. Uncle Joseph Cannon Passes Judgment on Principles Pronounced. LIKES THE TARIFF PLANK. Chicago, 111., June 19. Speaker Cannon was seen at the Union League club and asked for his views on the platform. He said: "I think the committee on resolutions has worked out a very commendable expression as to the position of the republican party on the two points over which there was so much controversy. The court procedure plank ex presses In unequivocal language the traditional confidence of the republi can party in the integrity of the courts, and insists that the powers to enforce their processes and protect life and property must be preserved Inviolate. "The resolution further commends the courts by recommending that what has been and Is the practice in Issuing injunctions shall be expressly declared in the statutes. I approve the plank if adopted. "I also approve the plank as report' ea touching an amendment to the Sherman anti-trust act. The commit tee struck out of the Jentative draft of that plank the language which seemed to indorse class legislation. think all republicans can unite in the indorsement of the two planks over which there has been much controversy. "As to the tariff plank it is in exact harmony with the resolution adopted by the republican convention of the Eighth Republican district, of Illinois which I have the honor to represent, and as that resolution was approved by me before it was adopted I naturally approved the expression in the national platform."

COMMEND PLATFORM

PALLADIUM'S VICTORY ON CONVENTION NEWS In covering the great Republican National Convention, the Palladium and Sun-Telegram has led the newspapers of Eastern Indiana in its success in giving to its readers the latest authentic reports from the big gathering. Aided by the Hearst News Service, the forecasts of which enabled the Palladium and SunTelegram to predict, days before the balloting commenced, the outcome of the race, there was not a feature of the Convention that was not handled in these columns. SPECIAL C0RRRESP0NDENCE. At Chicago, and on the field in quest of news that would be of especial interest to the readers of the Palladium and Sun-Telegram, was Demas S. Coe, whose insight into National politics is that of a keen newspaper man. At the Richmond end, an additional editorial and mechanical force was employed to handle the telegraphic reports with the utmost dispatch. Events, big men, and interesting scenes surrounding the convention have be?n pictured completely. LEAD ALL OTHER PAPERS. When the last flash came over the wires late yesterday afternoon saying William H. Taft had been chosen the party nominee, the Palladium and Sun-Telegram presses were waiting for the word. In eleven minutes after the clerk at Chicago announced the result, dozens of newsboys were scurrying about the streets of Richmond, bringing the first news of the nomination to the anxious citizens of this city. It was a clean "scoop" on any other newspaper within a radius of sixty miles. Fifteen hundred papers were sold on the streets which indicates not only the interest taken in the nomination, but the manner in which the Richmond Palladium and Sun-Telegram is appreciated in Richmond. Hundreds of congratulatory messages were showered upon the Palladium and Sun-Telegram today by citizens of Richmond and Wayne county.

WILL WEAR SILK Mrs. Taft's Inaugural Gown Will Be Made of Georgia Product. PLANS ARE ALL MADE. Atlanta, Ga., June 19. If Secretary Taft is elected, Mrs. Taft will wear at the Inaugural ball a dress irr.de of Georgia raised sillLouis B. Magid, of Tallulah Falls, has wired Alexander Ackerman, the republican national committeeman from Georgia, who is attending the Chicago convention, that he wished to present Mrs. Taft, who he believes will be the first lady of the land for the next four years following March 4, a dress made of silk from the hills of Habersham. For the past six years Mr. Magid has been engaged in sericulture on his farm at Tallulah Falls. The silk worms are being raised at Tallulah, the silk from the cocoons will be manufactured in America, and the gown will be de signed and finished by a dressmaker In Washington. A NOISY CONVENTION. One In Which Comanchea and Panthers War Ovtahrieked. The noisiest, the jolllest, the most exciting and perhaps least logical campaign was that of 1840. William Henry Harrison, hero of an Indian victory at Tippecanoe, a plain old man who had lived, his opponents sneerlngly said, in a log cabin decorated with coonskins and had drunk hard cider, was selected by Thurlow Weed as a better candidate than Henry Clay. The issues between Van Buren, the Democratic candidate, and Harrison were not clearly drawn, but the adventitious circumstances of Harrison's early life were skillfully utilized for theatrical effects. Processions miles long with log cabins, cider barrels and coonskin caps on poles stretched from state to state. Glee clubs were a feature of the campaign, and the Indian fighter was fairly sung into office. In the convention of 18G0 began the modern custom of cheering and counter cheering. The Seward contingent gave a parade the day of the convention. While they were marching Lincoln supporters filled the Wigwam. With the naming of the candidates began the cheering. Murat Halstead said that when Seward was nominated and seconded "the shouting was absolutely frantic, shrill and wild. Comanches or panthers never struck: a higher note or gave screams with more infernal intensity. Looking from the stage over the vast amphitheater, nothing was to be seen below but thousands of hats a black, mighty swarm of hats flying with the velocity of hornets over a mass of human heads, most of the mouths of which were open."But when Lincoln's nomination was seconded the west was heard from. "I thought the Seward yell could not be surpassed," said Halstead, "but the Lincoln boys were clearly ahead and, feeling their victory as there was a lull In the storm, took deep breaths all around and gave a scream that was positively awful and accompanied it with stamping that made every plank and pSlar in the building quiver." On the third ballot Lincoln was nominated. The shouting was so deafening that the cannon which was discharged on the roof of the building could not be beard Inside. Chicago Record-Herald-

DEATH ENOS BRAWL

Running Pistol Battle Fought In the Streets of Memphis, Tenn. CONDUCTOR USES WEAPON. Memphis, Tenn., June 19. One of the participants dead, another dying, still another seriously injured and a bystander, a colored woman, slightly wounded, is the result of an attempt by officers to take into custody W. A Wylie, a railroad conductor in the lobby of a theatre here. A running pistol duel with the man through the most central portion of the city, at the time thronged with shoppers, in cluding hundreds of women and chil dren, was a feature. In the rush of the crowd to shelter, a number were thrown to the ground, several being painfully bruised. The man killed was a special policeman, John Lloyd, while Wylie is suffering from wounds which will probably cause his death. Detective John Law less was wounded in the hand and the woman was shot in the elbow. The trouble was a dispute between Wylie and the ticket seller at the the ater. TAKING THE WHOLE COUNTRY BY STORM. The new remedy is a recent discov ery, but it is taking the whole country by storm. It has cured so many peo ple throughout the state within the past few months that scores of news papers are publishing local testimoni als, giving names, streets and numbers of many people whose word cannot be doubted. The remedy certainly must have remarkable merit as so many people after using it a short while are advising their sick friends to try it. The Greensburg, Indiana, Daily Review recently published the following: Mr. J. W. Boyle, of 116 East Washington street, said: "My wife has been taking Root Juice and it has done wonders for her. Before taking it she had a very bad stomach. The lightest food would sour on her stomach and cause it to burn and pain her very much. In fact, she said she felt like it was raw from top to bottom. Recently her trouble was ag gravated by an attack of la grippe. Her appetite was very poor, but after taking the Root Juice a few days she had a good appetite and could digest everything she ate without the least pain or inconvenience. She is no longer weak and nervous, and seems like a new woman. The remedy has proved a wonderful blessing to her." In fact so many people are talking about the new remedy and telling about its great soothing, healing and toning qualities to the stomach, bowels liver and kidneys that it is now hard for the Root Juice people to make It fast enough to fill all orders. It is re tailed for one dollar a bottle. Many local people have testified to its wonderful merits, as anyone can learn by going to A. G. Luken & Co.'s drug store. "I should think a clockmakers bust ness was very uncertain.' "Why so?" "Because it Is a business that runs on tick, and one engaged In it Is al ways sure of a striate coming, with the dally prospect of a windup," Balti-

WILLIAMS

RESIGNS

Minority Leader in House of Representatives Steps Down. TAKES EFFECT ON DEC. 7. Eufaula, Ala., June 19. Congressman John Sharp Williams of Mississippi has resigned the minority leadership of the of the house of representatives to take effect Dec. 7, next. This announcement is made by Con gressman H. D. Clayton, chairman of the democratic caucus. In a letter to Mr. Clayton under Washington date of June 13, Mr. Williams, without previous intimation of his intentions to re tire .writes that in resigning thus early he is actuated by a desire to give the minority ample time to consider whom they want to succeed him, and also for the reason that if the next house is democratic the democratic speaker. whomsoever he may be ought to have the experience which the position of floor leader would give him during the short session next winter. TO RESCUE NAPOLEON A Bold Plan That Was Matured In This Country. IT WAS A DARING SCHEME. The Enterprise Was Known to the Ex it of St. Helena, but Jutt as the Preparations Were About Complete the Fallen Emperor Died. Even In "the last phase" our coun try sustained a certain association with the captive of St Helena, says a writer in the Magazine of History. The English felt that any danger of rescue would originate upon the west ern shore of the Atlantic. Admiral Cockburn occupied the neighboring island of Ascension, avow edly to prevent it falling into the hands of Tankee raiders. The feeling in the United States against England was at that time quite bitter. Napoleon's landing at St. Helena followed the bat tle of New Orleans only about seven months, and the downfall of the revolutionary monarch aroused deep sym pathy throughout the country. But the actual grounds for believing in the existence of a rescue party and rescue plans in the United States rest upon the movements of General Lallemand and his associates. This officer's military record, from the revolutionary days to Waterloo, had been distinguished by notable feats of daring. His devotion to the emperor was loyal and persistent; be had followed him until his embarkation from the shores of France and had tried in vain to accompany him to St Helena. He was condemned to death by the reactionary tribunals of 1816, but bad suc ceeded in escaping and Joining bis brother at Philadelphia. At this time our country was literal ly swarming with French military refugees, many of whom, like Lallemand, were under capital sentence for their conduct toward the Bourbons during the hundred days. The Lallemand proceeded ostensibly to unite a number of these veterans Into a military colony which they called the Field of Asylum. Our government granted them 100,OOO acres on the banks of the Tombigbee, but as their own project required their establishment near the sea they sold the lands and with the proceeds settled on the Trinity river. In Texas, about fifteen miles from Its mouth. The second In command was Baron Rigaud, whose kindly feelings toward the ancient regime bad been Illustrated by publicly stamping the cross of St. Louis under his feet. Needless to say, he was also under sentence of death by Louis XVIII.'s court martial. But the best known of all this devoted band was the famous pirate Lafltte, who had begun life as a Bordeaux blacksmith, had killed bis love rival In a duel, bad become a noted corsair, the terror of the Antilles n seas, had been the effective ally of General Jackson In repulsing the British at New Orleans and at the time of the French settlement of old guardsmen in his vicinity was established at Galveston. This narrative does not require a detailed statement of the affairs of the 400 grenadiers, of the attacks of the Mexicans on their camp, of their final removal to New Orleans. All the circumstances indicate that It was not the intention of the Lallemands to found an agricultural colony, but to unite about 1,000 old soldiers for the deliverance of the great prisoner. The location of their camp was most favorable for the scheme, being near the sea in an unsettled country where their movements would not bo watched and, above all, being In proximity to Lafitte, who commaaded the required ships. Besides these desirable vessels, one, a model of swiftness, was constructed at Charleston and equipped for its purpose in the most complete manner. An intrepid captain named Boissiere, who navigated for pleasure, had accepted its command, and this was the ship destined to carry away Napoleon Bonaparte, while Lafitte would land the guardsmen and engage the attention of the English cruisers. The enterprise wss known to the captives, as shows by Bertrand's disclosures. But when the preparations were about complete the news arrived of the emperor's death. Tb.

Roosevelt Declares Nation Is to Be Congratulated on Taft's Nomination

Washington. June 19. Immediately upon receiving news of the nomination of Secretary Taft for the Presidency, President Roosevelt said: "I feel that the country is indeed to be 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 not only absolutely fearless, absolutely disinterested and upright, but he has the widest acquaintance with the Nation's needs without and 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 peouje 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 the most fearless of champions. "Mr. Taft stands against privilege and he stands pre-eminently for the broad principles of American citizenship which lie at the foundation of our national well-being."
