Chairman Root
their chairs ana anook their fists at
Senator Root who stood unperturbed.
Cries of "robber," "thief," and "crook"
came up from the floor and oown from
the galleries.
Delegates-at-large Fosdlck of Massa
chusetts made a point of order that an
swering "present" was sufficient re
sponse to the roll call and did not en
title the alternate to vote.
Chairman Root ruled otherwise. Fos
dlck said be would appeal from the de
cision of the chair. Mr. Root said the
appeal would be allowed at tbe close of
the voting.
"I defy this convention to make me
vote for any man," said Fosdlck.
In Massachusetts the alternates of the
delegates-at-large elected at the pri
maries were all pledged to Taft
Two Altfrnntire Anawer.
As the clerk called the roll all the dele
gates-at-large answered "present and not
voting." The alternates then were culled
but only two answered and voted tor
Taft. Senator Root ruled that whenever
a state vote was challenged, the rule
of calling the alternates tor delegates
who refuned to vote would be followed.
The answer of "present and not voting"
was received from the states whore there
was no challenge and no roil call of the
state.
Washington's fourteen votes cast at
9: p. m. swung a majority for Taft and
was greeted with groans and cheers.
Then the rest of the roll went on Id
confusion. .
The delegates had kept tab on the vot
ing and" realised Taft had won the
nomination before an announcement had
been made. The Taft delegates stood cn
chairs and cheered.

to renominate Vies President Sherman.
Allcott's speech did not last three min
utes and was received without enthusi
asm. Harry Daugherty, for Ohio, merely
moved a second for Sherman's nomi
nation. The call of states weut on without
further nominations until Pennsylvania
was reached. Then C. Tyson Krats rose
in his place.
"On behalf of Pennsylvania I nominate
Boles Penrose," he shouted. There was
no second. '
There were no other nominations and
the call of the roll on the vice presidential
nomination was begun at 9:45 p. m.
Idaho was the first state that failed
to support Sherman. Its eight votes went
to Governor Hadley of Missouri.
When the roll was called in Illinois
R. IL. McCormlck voted for Howard
Gillette, a Chicago banker.
"Just a matter of friendship," said Mc
Cormlck when asked who Gillette was.
Iowa put Borah on the list giving him
Its Roosevelt votes.
Minnesota emphatically declined to
vote.
Nebraska gave Benatpf Beverldge two
votes. Fourteen delegates declined to
vote.
The announced vote was Sherman, 687;
Hadley, '14; Borah, 21; Beverldge. i;
Cliarlea E. Merrlam, Chicago, 20; Gillette,
1; not voting, 362; absent, 71.
The vote of six delegates from Vermont
cast at 10:10 o'clock gave Sherman one
over the 540 necessary.
A resolution appointing Senator Root
chairman of the committee to notify the
president of his nomination and naming
Thomas Devlne of Colorado chairman of
the committee to notify the vice presi
dent was passed while the delegates hur
ried from the hall. .' In the closing
moments of the convention a resolution
was passed under the gavel, giving the
national committee the power to fill all
vacancies and empowering the committee
to declare vacant the seat of any mem
ber who refused to support the nominees
of this convention.
Former Representative Hemenway of
Indiana Introduced the resolution.
At 10:J9 o'clock Delegate Estabrook of
New Hampshire moved that the conven
tion adjourn and the motion was adopted.
Tha delegates tiled out In silence. As
the last of the delegates left the hall, the
band played "Praise Ood from Whom All
Blessings Flow."
. Last Day in Demit.
Not more than 100 delegates were in
their seats at 9:45 o'clock. The galleries
were practically empty and the pros
pects were that It would be well after the
hour set for convening before the con
vention eettled down to tha work of what
the leaders hoped to make tbe last ses
sion. Not a single official had put in

an appearance except Sergeant-at-Arma
Stone, who was busy conferring with his
assistants and the convention police.
There was talk of an attempt at
Roosevelt demonstration. Chairman Root
Issued orders to the eergeant-at-arms
and tbe police that no delegations were
to be allowed to march Into the hall.
Orders were alo received to bar ail
bannera
Jt was 10:43 o'clock when Chairman
Root dropped his gavel. Tbe floor was
In confusion and the aisles were crowded
with delegates seeking their seats.
No sooner fiad Root announced that
the convention was opened than a
stentorian voice from the galleries
shouted, "All aboard."
Opens wlta Prayer.
Chairman Root, when some semblance
of quiet had been secured. Introduced the
Rev. John Wesley Hill of New York,
who opened the proceedings with prayer.
As he concluded some one in the gallery
yelled "Toct, toot" and there was much
laughter.
The first report presented from the
committee on credentials recommended
the seating of the Mississippi Taft delegates-at-large.
When the reading was concluded the
gallery crowd . shouted. "The ayes
have It"
The good nature which prevailed all of
yesterday afternoon was again evident
The Roosevelt people presented a mi
nority report but made no fight and the
Taft delegates were seated viva voce.
Amid a chorus "toot, toots" and "choo
choos" from the galleries the report on
the contest In the Second district of
Mississippi was read. The report char
acterizes the Roosevelt contest aa a "pa
per case."
There was no minority report and the
vote was taken without delay. Chairman
Root announcing the seating of the Taft
delegates. The same procedure seated two
Taft delegates in the Fifth, Sixth and
Seventh Mississippi district.
As the result of each vote was an
nounced a chorus of shrieks, whistles,
groans and cat calls greeted the state
ment: "The ayes have It."
Exeeda Speed Limit.
Way up In the rear gallery a specta
tor with a mechanical whistle blew two
short shrill blasts as each contest was
disposed of. The reports Were brought
In, read In a riot of disorder, and passed.
The Fourth North Carolina. Third Okla
homa and the Second Tennessee, on
which ' there were no mlnotfty reports
went through under the kavcl.
The Washington cases came next and
the convention sobered down under ad
monition from Chairman Root
"Mr. Chairman," said B, H. Howard, a j
negro delegate from Mississippi, 1 make
0
the point of order that the steam roller
Is exceeding the speed limit"
There was a gale of laughter, renewed
when Chairman Root said he pw pre
pared to rule on tbe point saying: "The
point of order Is well taken."
When the laughter had subsided. Sen
ator Root added:
'The Justification ! that we have
some hope of starting tome on Sunday,"
and the statement brought forth a cheer.
In order that an adverse vote might not
throw out the entire state delegation,
the committee reported the Washington
delegates-at-large and each district del
egation separately. The same course, It
was said, would be followed In consider
ing the other contests.
Considering the other contests, the ma
jority report held that the Roosevelt
delegates-at-large were elected by a bolt
ing convention and an Illegal primary.
Sullivan of Ohio' presented a minority
report holding that the Taft contest was
'a trumped up" case.
Sullivan moved to substitute the minor
ity' report for the majority report and
Watson moved to table the motion.
And Everybody Sines.
A conference was held on the platform
to arrange tor debate on the motion and
bedlam broke loose on th e floor.
Toot toot "choo, choo, choo, toot
toot"
"Slip her in the high."
"What about the speed limit?"
"Sand, sand the track, Watson; you're
slipping."
Starting somewhere in the rear, the
crowd began to sing "Nearer, My God,
to Thee," and it swelled into a chorus,
followed by "Lead, Kindly Light" and
Amid the Encircling Gloom."
Another chorus, across the way, caught
the spirit and began to sing "John
Brown's Body," altering the final lines
of the chorus to: "As We Go Rolling On."
Hugh T. Halbert of Minnesota spoke in
support of the minority report when quiet
was restored, a limited debate having
been decided upon.
Halbert made a special plea to the
New York delegation the largest unti
structed delegation in the convention to
give their votes to tha minority report.
The acceptance of the minority re
port" declared Halbert "would leave the
republican party but two alternates --da
feat" be paused, "or Theodore Roose
velt"
"Hurrah," cried a delegate. There was
some hand clapping, but not i cheer.
"The party," concluded Halbert "can
stand defeat with honor, but cannot
stand," hesitating, "defeat with dls
honor"
W. T. Dovell, a Taft delegate-at-larga,
spoke for the majority report.
; Former Governor Fort of New Jersey
made a point against Dovell's speaking
on the ground that he could not vote upon
the question of seating himself.
Everrbedy Is Surprised.
Chairman Root said that while Dovell
eould not vote he could speak in the
absence of direction to the contrary from
the convention.
: This ended the debate and the motion to
lay on the table was put and carried by
a viva voce vote. A motion to put the
Taft delegates on the permanent roll
also was carried without a roll call
Thle was a distinct surprise. The Roose
velt people had been expected to demand
a line-up of delegates. The acquiescence
in the viva voce vote seemed to take
Senator Root by surprise. He hesitated,
for a long while, after saying: "The ayes
seem, to have it" before adding "the
ayas:Jiave it" : , .- a
The proceedings seemed to indicate a
complete . backdown of the Roosevelt
forces. Then came reports seating the
Taft delegates from the First, Second
and Third districts.
On each vote the gallery crowds Joined
In the chorus of "noes, noes," and al
though the volume was greater than
the volume of the "ayes," Root would
smile pleasantly and announce "the
ayes appear to have It: the ayes have It"
As the Washington contests were con
cluded, "Merrily We Roll Along" and
"Rambled" were added to the vocal pro
gram. After the Washington contests had
been decided there was a lull in the pro
ceedings. Victor Rosewater, retiring chair
man of the republican national com
mittee, appeared on the floor In the midst
of the , Pennsylvania delegation, where
the delegates were making a great fuss
over him, shaking hands and patting him
on the back. It was another evidence of
the wave of good humor which had swept
over the convention since yesterday.
Roeewater with Texas.
The Texas delegates had a call from
Rosewater. One big delegate lifted the
former chairman In his arms, while the
convention cheered.
As the wait for further reports con
tinued the California delegates began to
shout, "We want Teddy," and In a mo
ment the Roosevelt delegates throughout
the hall were standing on their chairs
Joining in the shout. The galleries took
part In the uproar.
California endeavored to sing "Merrily,
We Roll Along," but the demonstration
soon died out.
West Virginia tried to eing, "We want
Teddy," but was hushed when Mrs. Flo
Jacobson began to sing "Moonlight
Bay." The song, halted the demonstra
tion and tbe delegates, rising In their

Governor' Johnsea Anita.
Shnrtlv after Senator Root had called
h convention to order Governor John
son of California, one of the Roosevelt
leaders, left the convention hall. His rea-
wui for doing so was explained in the
following statement which he gave out:
1 shall not sit In this convention dur
ing the nomination of the president, nor
shall I consider myself In any manner
bound by its acts. Not only was a fraud
ulent roll foisted upon us to defeat the
will of the people, but the law of the
state of California, solemnly passed by
that state, and acquiesced in by the pres
ident and every faction In California, has
been nullified. The- basic right of the
nonie to rule and the fundamental prin
ciple of the direct primary have been out
raged and defied.
"A the governor of California, sworn
to uDhoId Its laws, I feel that my duty
Is plain, and that, as well, my self-respect
demands that I shall no longer remain in
the convention. All of the California
delegation are In thorough accord with
me, and desire to remain with me, but I
have requested them to remain to carry
out tbe general plan of the Roosevelt
delegates." ...
The report of the credentials committee
on the Fifth district Of Virginia, seating
the Taft delegates, was accepted by a
viva voce vote. i
Chairman Root walked to the front of
the platform to make a statement He
smiled broadly as his advent was greeted
by a hoarse "Toot toot" from the whistle
in the gallery. He asked unanimous con
sent to place on the roll call those dele
gates against whom contests had been
dismissed by unanimous vote of the na
tional committee, snd which had not
been renewed , before the credentials
committee. This was done.
Convention Reanmea orb.
'This leaves only the Texas cases,
which will be presented."
Then the convention again settled down
to work.
It was 2:15 p. m. when the report on
the eight delegates-at-large from Texas
was finally received. A statement In the
report that the republican sentiment In
Texas was "overwhelmingly In favor of
Fresldent Taft," was greeted with groans
and guffaws. The committee favored the
Taft delegates and scored the so-called
"Cecil Lyon officeholders." It also de
ferred to Texas as "boss ridden."
A minority report recommended seating
tbe Roosevelt delegates, but on viva voce
vote, the . Taft , delegates were seated.
Then came a series of reports on the dis
trict delegates from. Texas.' As the viva
voce votes seating the Taft delegates
were taken the delegates " laughed up
roariously, and the galleries. Joined in the
voting. ,
Chairman Root tried to be serious
throughout the proceedings, but his face
was almost constantly broken with a
broad grin.
The committee on credentials and the
convention approved the action of the
national committee in giving the Roose
velt 'people four delegates from TeXas
in the Third and Fifteenth districts.
The credenfllals ;wmmittei report as a
whole then wai 'adopted: ' TRis ended the
contests and: thr convention took up the
report of the committee on permanent or
ganisation. : '
Organisation Made Permanent.
It recommended that the temporary or.
ganization be made permanent. Chair
man Root yielded the gavel to Repr
sentatlve Olmstead of Pennsylvania while
the motion was put. When It carried he
Was given a big cheer.
There Were cries of "speech, speech,"
and Root stepped forward. It had taken
nearly five days for the committee to get
to Its permanent organization, an un
precedented state of affairs. The demon
stration continued several minutes.
"I thank you, my friends, from the bot
tom of my heart. My first act as per
manent chairman of this convention Is to
ask unanimous consent that a delegate
from the state of Kansas, our republican
brother, Henry J. Allen, be permitted to
make a statement. Is this all right? The
chair hears no objections.
Mr. Allen then came forward to read
the Roosevelt statement and to pronounce
the "Roosevelt valedictory." When he
announced he was about to read a "state
ment Just placed in my hands from Colo
nel Theodore Roosevelt" the Roosevelt
adherents broke into a demonstration and
cheering and renewed the cries of "We
want Teddy." While Allen "stood waiting
for quiet New Jersey tore Its standard
from the iron pole and started around
the aisle.
Nebraska Joins In.
Minnesota, Nebraska, Indiana, West
Virginia and Oklahoma Joined the pro
cession and the thing was on In earnest.
West Virginia took Its place In the line.
Out of a gea of heads and arms the
standards were suddenly raised aa the
