President Sound Keynote Re
views a Long Parade.
Cincinnati, Ohio, July 29. William
Howard Taft accepted the Republi
can presidential nomination In a
peech of about 15,000 words. His
official notification combined a Jub
ilee for the city of Cincinnati and Its
environs, a historic gathering of
national party leaders and an occa
sion for the announcement by the
candidate of his views.
The notification was without any
great ceremony. Upon the hour of
aoon, Mr. Taft, a party of ' friends
and the notification committee filed
out of the colonial door to the broad
porches of the Taft mansion.
The porches and lawn were re
served for tlcketholders, the stieel
being the free-for-all field. A band
stationed directly in front of the
platform on the front walk kept the
assembling crowd In a merry mond.
Senator William Warner, of MIs
tourl, past eommander In chief of the
Grand Army of the Republic, chair
man of the notification committee,
escorted Mr. Taft to the substantial
platform which projects out over the
old stone steps leading to the en
trance to the mansion.
Senator Warner's speech of notifi
cation was brief. After formally In
forming Mr. Taft of his nomination
le handed him an engrossed copy of
toe Chicago platform.
In reply Mr. Taft did not deliver
:tis full speech of acceptance, but
;Te only about enough of It to oc
cupy an hour's time.
He did not eliminate any of the
topics but omitted some of the de
tailed explanations and arguments
that appear In full In the printed
Xacument.
The following are some of the
jlthy paragraphs from Mr. Taft's

ROOSEVELT FOR A
FIQHTINQ NAVY.
Wants to be Able to Smash Opponent
And Not Await Attack.
A'. Home.
Newport, July Hi). In an address
delivered at tho Naval War College
hero before the most notable gath
ering of naval experts ever held In
this country President Roosevelt
made a strong appeal for a stronger
navy one able to hammer Its op
ponent until that opponent quits
fighting.
He urged the Imperative need of
a "fighting" navy as a factor In reg
ulating Immigration. His dealing
with the question was 'nterpreted
as having a veiled allusion to Japan.
He declared that to advocate a
navy for coast defence only was to
Invito attack, and that diplomacy was
of value only when resting on the
substantial basis of potential force.
The President spoke for nearly
forty minutes. He was often Inter
rupted by applause from the 200 of
ficers who crowded the little lecture
room.
At the close of the President's
speech there was a brief recess, and
then tho conference which Is con
sidering plans for the American bat
tleships of the near future, went In
to executive session. The President
was Invited to attend and took a
prominent part In the discussion
which followed.
He Impressed on the officers that
It was given to them to keep the
American navy abreast of the times
and to make It the hard hitting, ef
ficient fighting force which he be
lieves to be a r uarantee against tne
possibilities of war. Mr. Roosevelt
characterized the navy as the cheap
est form of safety Insurance policy
the nation could secure.
The President's yacht Mayflower,
with the President on board. In a
dense fog at 1.15 a. m., ran Into and
sank the lumber laden schooner
Menuwa. All on board the schoon
er, consisting of the captain and five
man, were taken on board the May
flower. The President's yacht had
her bowsprit and one anchor carried
away, but the Jar of the collision was
so sllght.that none of the President's
party knew of the accident.
At 3 p. m., after his speech, Mr.
Roosevelt returned to the Mayflower
and the yacht sailed for Oyster Day,
the naval vessels in the harbor firing
salutes.

London, England, July 25. The
Marathon race from Windsor Castle
to the Stadium brought to the fifth
revial of the Olympiad the old-time
glory of the athletic games. Refore
a crowd of 100,000 persons gather
ed In the great amphitheatre there
was almost a repetition of the his
toric scene where the Greek youth
fell as he passed the goal a victor,
and with a wave of triumph died.
Dorando, the Italian runner, stag
gered Into the Stadium In the lead.
His shaking legs would hardly sup
port his tired body and his mind was
muddled so that he faHered about
the director he should take, al
though the path lay clear before him.
Urged on. he reeled down the path
until he fell In a heap and lay like
one dead. He was assisted to his
feet only to fall again and again, un
til he was half dragged, half carried
across the line In an unconscious con
dition. While the scene was being enacted
near the finish line and the crowd
was. In an uproar, John J. Hayes, a
New York youth, and a member of
the n-Ish-Amerlcan Club, appeared
at the entrance to the Stadium. He
was running strongly and well with
in himself.
Without a hand touching him and
running straight, and true, Hayes
croFsed the finish line while Do
rando was being removed to the hos
pltal on a Htretche.. It was clear to
the spectators, no matter what their
nationality, that the American had
won fairly, and when the Italian flag
was hoisted above the Stars and
Stripes pandemonium was loosed and
the vast assemblage was upon Its
feet, shouting and hooting and
threatening to break the police lines
tnd swarm over the track.
Other runners were almost for
gotten. There was a hasty consulta
tion of officials and the flags were
hauled down. That seemed to sat
isfy the crowd that the award would
be given to the true winner, and the
other runners were cheereu as they
came one by one into the arena.
The official ruling that Hayes, the
New York youth, who paid his own
-:penBes to run In the greatest evrnt
of the Olympald for the honor of his
country, had won; that Hefferon, the
veteran from isouth Africa, had fin
ished second, and that Forshaw and
Welton of the United States, had fin
ished third and fourth, gave the
United States its greatest triumph
since the cycle of the new Olympic
games opened to the nations of the
earth.
Hayes finished he 26 miles 480
yards In 2 hours 65 minutes 18 sec
onds. Tho winner stands but five
feet four inches In height and
weighs scarcely more than 120
pounds. His years are but twenty
two. .

THE INDEPENDENCE
PARTY CONVENTION.
rollowcrs) of W. It. Henrst Meet In
National Assemblage In
Chicago.
Chicago, July 29. No new nation
al party ever gathered for tho first
time under more cheering auspices
than did the Independence Party
when U opened Its first national con
ventlqn In Orchestra Hall. The low
er floor was filled with wildly enthus
iastic delegates from every State and
Territory and the galleries .were
crowded with men and women who
entered heartily into the spirit of
the proceedings.
it was one of the hottest nlgbta
Chicago has known, and yet more
than 6000 persons were turned away
from the big hall. The balconies
were Jammed when a few minutes
after 8 o'clock the delegates came
trooping In, the New Yorkers leading
the column.
Milton W. Howard of Alabama
took the gavel and Introduced
Charles A. Walsh of Iowa, secretary
of the Provisional National Commit
tee, who read the call for the con
vention. This document declared
the purpose of the gathering
to be the foundation of
an Independent party and the nomi
nation or candidates for President
and Vice-President. Father O'Calla
han of Chicago, delivered the invoca
tion. Mr. Howard at the conclusion of
the invocation, announed the names
of the temporary officers of the con
vention. His mention of the name of
Mr. Hearst was received with an out
burst of applause.
The New York delegation gave re
peated cheers in honor of therl lead
er, who stood quietly and waited for
the demonstration to auoslde. When
quiet had been restored Mr. Hearst
delivered his address as temporary
chairman of the convention.
Mr. Hearst explained at length the
object of the Independence Party,
saying: "A new party is necessary
to preserve the Government as the
fathers framed it," and "to represent
the typical American citizens that
constitute the people in their strug
gle with tyrannical monopolies which
constitute the trusts."
The old parties are no longer equal
tc this task, be said, for they have
become unfaithful to the principles
which Inspired them and1 unworthy
of the patriots who founded them. He
denounced the Republican leaders as
political attorneys of the trusts and
monopolies and the Democratic van
guard as a Falstaff army, led by a
knight arrayed in a motley of modi
fied professions and compromised
principles, of altered opinions and re
tracted statements.

from Arkansas, but California yield
ed to Massachusetts, and the Rev.

The conclusion of Mr. Sawyer's
speech was the signal for cheers
fro.n the Massachusetts seats, In
which California delegates and a few
from Minnesota and South Dakota
Joined. Two women in the centre
box of the first balcony jumped to
their feet and waved the men to
greater efforts. A big banner bear

onstration had subsided the call pro
ceeded until Georgia was reached,
and Bernard Sutler of Atlnata pre
sented the name of John Temple

Mr. Sutler declared that the pres
