think I ought to sav to the delegates
of this convention that I assumed the
authority of the chair to convey the
action of this convention to "ur nom
inee for the president of the U.iited
States. I conveyed a telegram of
felicitation and congratulation to. Jus
tice Charles E. Hughes of Washing
ton and I have the good fortune to
know that there is in process of trans
mission of a reply of acceptance.
"I only regret that the delay in
transmission would require me to hpl-l
tne convention in session to convey
its contents to you by word of mouf.i.
I shall be very happjr to transmit the
reply to theSmembers upon its arrival.
nd I know you will all be privileged
to reaa it.
I congratulate you and the Ameri
can public on the nomination of
Charles E. Hughes and Charles W.
Fairbanks. ...
"I know that this convention has
not only made republican history, but
will write a new and glorious chapter
in American history. .
"The chair begs to thank the dele
gates for the courtesy with which it
has been invariably treated and I
thank you again for the distinguished
honor of presiding over your delibera
tions' 1

recognizing Mr. Hilles of New York
for the closing motion of our session."

vacant spaces on the main floor until
nearly 11a. m., the time for conven
ing, although the galleries were well
tilled. ...
Eleven o'clock passed and the con.
vdntion was not in order. The weary
delegates, enthusiastic at the prospect
that this would be the last dav ot the
convention, put in the time discussing
possibilities down at the Auditorium
and reading news bulletins. The
overnight switch of some of the favor
ite sons delegates filled- the Hughes
men with exultation and thev came in
.early, confident of nominating their
man on the hrst ballot today. i
- Koosevelt s Secretary Arrives.
While the convention was assent'
bling John McGrath, Colonel Roose
velt's secretary, arrived oi the plat
form and talked with some of the
leaders. Not many of them had ar
rived, however, and McGrath waited.
Senator Weeks, who earlier had
released his delegates, many of whom
were expected to turn to Justice
Hughes, took a seat on the platform.
Some of the republicans on the
platform said there was nothing sig
nificant tn M coram s visit.
Senators Wadsworth of New York
said many of the Root votes In the
delegation would go to Hughes on
the first ballot today.
Chairman Harding said this of Mc-
Urath s visit:
"We are sroini to get together.1
He did not amplify this statement.
No effort was made to call the con
vention to order because the latest
report of the republicans on the peace
conference was not ready. It was
annotfheed there would be no business
until the report was in.. .
It became known that all who voted
for Fairbanks for president had been
released except the Indiana delega
tion, which would cast one more bal
lot tor their favorite son.'' - v

Call to Order.
At 11:49 o'clock Chairman Harding
rapped for order and efforts were
made to get the' convention quieted
down.

"Chicago. June 10. 1916. To the
conferees of the national progressive
party: ,
' "On behalf of the republican con'
ferees we present for consideration
as a candidate for president Justice
rugnes. .
"It is plain that he will soon com
mand the support of a majority of the
republica convention. .
"His availability as a , candidate
rests, first, upon his known character
and ability; second, upon his public
service as governor of . New York
third, his removal from any associa
tion with the convention of 1912 and
the differences which then arose.
'"The supporters of Justice Hugtfes
in the republican convention repre
sent spontaueous interest and belief
in his ckndidacy, which have shown
themselves in widely scattered states
and among all classes and groups of
voters.
"These have shown themselves
without any formal organization In his
behalt and are on ground tor believ
ing that the candidacy would be ac
ceptable to lal groups of republicans
and would reunite them.
"His silence as to the recent issues
is the necessary result of his judicial

declarations, however, give ground
for the assurance that he is ir accord
with the platform that has been adopt
ed by the republican and progressive
conventions. Respectively submitted,

Tired and Happy. Youngsters Ee
tnrn to Omaha from Annual
, Outing. '
SAY THEY HAS LOTS OF FUN
Tired, but happy, and in the best of
spirits and well bronzed by exposure
to the sun during their week's outing,
the Omaha High school cadets ar
rived at the Union station at 12:30
o'clock yesterday, coming in their
speciaf train from Camp Ernst, near
Valley, ando ver the Union Pacific.
Preceded by their band the 'boys
marched up town and to the Central
High school building, where the bat
talion disbanded and the members
hurried to their respective homes.
The high1 school cadets entrained
at 11:40, instead of an hour earlier, as
had been the intention. Their train
was laid in on the siding at Valley
at 7:15 this morning, but the delay in
getting away for home was due to
Some delay in the cadets loading the
impedimenta.
The cadets all speak in the highest
terms of the outing and are pretty
well agreed that the camp was one of
the best that they have ever had.
