TAFT AND SHERMAN
Republican National Convention
Names Standard Bearers.
Final Outburst of Enthusiasm Follows
Nomination of New York Congress
man for Second Place on First Dal
lot Cummins' Name Held Back.
Tnft and Sherman. This is tho
ticket of tho Republican party flung
to tho breezo as tho Republican
eluded its nomination of James S.
Sherman of New York for vice presi
dent amid n final roar of tumultuous
demonstration. Again tho vast assem
bly was swept with wave on wave of
wild, exultant clamor, as the multi
tude, realizing that at last tho work
was done and tho record mado upon
which the Republican party goes be
foro tho country, united in one last
mighty outburst of enthusiasm as n
WILLIAM II. TAFT.
tribute to tho men who will bear tho
standard in tho struggle now nt hand.
Another inspiring picture was pre
sented as the convention named its
candidate for vice president. Tho
enormous throngs had waited through
an hour of oratory, sweltering In tho
heat-laden ntmosphere, packed as be
fore into solid masses of humanity,
with only here and there a few vacant
spots In tho remote gallery delegates
in the broad arena below, tho brlght
hued lines of femininity in the cir
cling galleries and over all tbe envel
oping folds of "Old Glory."
From tho outset it was distinctly a
Sherman crowd, with galleries already
trained into choruses of Sherman
songs.
Woodruff Nominates Sherman.
The preliminaries were brief and
the nominating speeches for vice pres
ident began with a limit of ten min
utes to each speaker. On the call of
states, Delaware yielded to New York
and ex-Lieutenant Governor Timothy
L. Woodruff mounted the platform for
a glowing speech placing In nomina
tion Sherman as New York's choico
for the vice presidency. Now came a
surprise as the venerable Speaker
Cannon, with his Lincoln-like visage
and shaggy beard, emerged from tho
Illinois delegation and stepping to the
platform was yielded unanimous con
sent to second the nomination of Sher
man. Such a picture of sturdy, home
ly, plain American citizenship as Can
non 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 bis neck. His vest was
thrown wide open, exposing his crum
pled shirt and tho sleeves of his black
alpaca coat curled up about his dan
gling cuffs to his elbows as his waving
arms emphasized his ringing words
for his collcaguo and friend, Jumcs S.
Sherman of New York.
Lodge Presents Guild's Name.
From the outbursts of enthusiasm
which greeted every mention of Sher
man's name it was plain that the
mind of tho convention had" been made
up and that the decision was only to
be recorded. But for a moment there
was a halt in the Sherman movement
as Senator Lodgo, leaving the presid
ing officer's chair, advanced to nomi
nate Governor Guild of Massachusetts
for the vice presidency. The senator's
voico was strained with tho exertions
of recent days, but he spoke eloquent
ly and forcibly for the Massachusetts
candidate. Michigan, through Charles
Osborne, added her voice for Guild,
and New Jersey brought forward her
favorite son In a speech by Thomas N.
McCarter, nominating ex-Governor
Murphy for the second place.
Tho steady advance of the Sherman
movement now began again as state
after state fell Into line.
Now began the vote, taken amid
confusion at first, which Increased as
the totals climbed upward to the nom
inating point. The result was never in
doubt as the totals "of states were
heaped ono upon tho other. Thero
were scattering votes, Wisconsin split
ting its vote among Sherman, Guild
and Murphy, and also gave ten to
Governor Sheldon of Nebraska, but
tho great body of delegates swelled
the total or Sherman until it touched
810. With keen appreciation of the
effect of climax Chairman Lodge an
nounced the result, reserving Sher
man's huge total until the last.
"Vice President Fairbanks gets one
vote, Governor Sheldon of Nebraska
10 votes; Governor Guild of Massa
chusetts 75 votes; Governor Murphy
of New Jersey 77 votes, and James
Schoolcraft Sherman of New York 816
votes." ,
Again the floodgates of wild enthu-1
siasm were let loose as floor and gal-1
lory Joined In a pendeinontum of dem
onstratlon.
Wlndup of the Convention.
The nomination completed, final de
tails wore now quickly perfected

convention finally adjourned and tho
multitude dispersed.
National Chairman.
Attention Is now being directed to
the selection of tho chairman of the
national committee, tho general In
chief who will have supremo command
of tho Republican forces In tho ap
proaching campaign. Tho nutlonal
committee named a subcommittee ol
eight members, which left for Cincin
nati, whore it will confer with Secre
tary Taft on tho selection of a can
paign manager.
Tho names of Frank Hitchcock, who
has been prominently identified with
Mr. Taft's Interests up to this tlmo,
and of Arthur I. Vorys of Ohio, who la
credited with turning tho tide of Ohio
sentiment at a timo when It was not
setting bo strongly toward Taft, are
frequently mentioned. A considerable
number of members of tho national
committee have united In a signed
declaration in behalf of Hitchcock
The namo of ex-Governor Myron T,
Herrlck of Ohio is also mentioned
among the members of the subcommlk
tco, but tho actual selection will de
pend upon tho oxchango of views be
tween tho secretary and tho membora
of the subcommittee when they as
scmble at Cincinnati.
