Heard Formal Word That Ho Is
Choice of Republican Party.
All Classes of Citizens United to Do
Honor to the City's. First Nominee
For President Address of Notifica
tion Made by Senator Warner of
Missouri Speech of Judge Bronv
well at Unfurling of Flag on the
Taft Residence.
Cincinnati, July 2S. Tills Is a mem
orable day In Cincinnati, on occasion
of the notification of William H. Taft
by the committee of the Chicago con
vention of his nomination for the pres
Idoncy. The day had been made a
public holiday and all classes of citi
zens united In dolus; honor to the
nominee. . .
At seven o'clock In the morning
there were salutes of twenty guns or.
more fired from these four hilltops
Price hill, Mt. Adams, Mt. Lookout
and Kairvlew Heights, as a Welcome
to Cincinnati's first candidate for the
presidency.
At 8 o'clock bands stationed In the
parks, squares and at prominent cor
ners began to make melody and kept
at It all day.
At 10 o'clock a flag was presented
by the city of Cincinnati to Charles
P. Taft, brother of the nominee, to
be unfurled over the Taft residence
on Pike street. This presentation
was made ai the Taft residence, tho
lawn of which, exclusive of walk and
driveway, was covered with an Im
mense platform.
At 11 o'clock the notification com
mittee was escorted to the Taft resi
dence and, on the temporary platform,
Judge Taft heard the formal word that
he Is the Republican party's choice
for president. There were but two
speechesthat of Senator Warner of
Missouri, notifying Mr. Taft, and that
of acceptance by the nominee.
Judge J. H. Bromwell of Cincinnati,
In presenting the flag to Mr. Charles
P. Taft, just prior to the notification
ceremonies, spoke as follows:
Fellow Citizens: A distinguished
honor has been conferred upon our city
by the selection of one of our towns
men for nomination to the greatest
office on the fece of the earth, the
presidency of the United Slates.
In appreciation of this high compli
ment, and as a special tribute of our
regard and respect for our neighbor
and fellow citizen upon whom this
honor has been bestowed, we have set
apart this day to rest from our usual
vocations and to celebrate an event
unique In the history of our city.
Ohio the Mother of Presidents.
Ohio, the mother of presidents, has
furnished other great and able men to
All the office of chief executive of our
nation, but on this occasion our own
fair city offers, for the first time, one
of its sons for that high station.
This demonstration is In no sense
partisan or political. For the time be
ing we lay aside party lines and Ig
nore national platforms. We are
here as citizens of Cincinnati and as
friends, neighbors and admirers of
William Howard Taft.
It would be unbecoming under such
circumstances to enter upon any
eulogism, however brief, of his ability
or his fitness for the high office for
which he has been named. That will
come later, in the great battle of ora
tory and argument which Is to follow
the exercises of this day.
How appropriate, then that the for
mal ceremonies of this occasion should
be opened by the function of raising
the flag, in which all may freely par
ticipate without sacrifice of party af
filiations or political tenets.
For the American flag belongs not,
exclusively, to any man or body of
men; not to any political party, re
ligious sect or social organization. It
Is the priceless heritage handed down
by heroic ancestors to all the nation
and to every one of Its people.
It Is to us an emblem of the unity
of our government and the wonderful
progress and development It has made
in the brief space of little more than
a century.
It has been hem aloft In the front
rank of that steady, forward march
which has transferred us from a hand
ful of scattered colonies with rival in
terests and little in common, save
their need of protection from aggres
sion by foreign powers, into a world
power, the equal of any on earth, with
a common purpose and a single In
terest. Every great national achievement,
whether in war or peace, has been
wrought under Its beautiful folds,
which ever have been, and ever will
be, the glorious emblem of civil and
religious liberty.
It was with Washington at York-
town, with Perry on Lake Erie and
with Jackson at New Orleans; it was
with Scott and Taylor In Mexico, with
Grant at Apponiatox and with Dewey
at Manilla, and jvith Sampson and
Schley at Santiago.
It saw (he birth of the nation In tho
Revolutionary war; its redemption
from unjust aggression In the war of
1812; the filling up and rounding out
of our territory in the war with Mex
ico; the emancipation of a race and
the unification of our republic In the
civil war; and the release from tyran
ny of the Islands of the Sea In ihe war
with Spain.
Never Trailed In Dust of Dishonor.
In every contest submitted to the
arbitrament of the sword It has waved
over victorious armies and unconquer
able navies. It has never been trailed
In the dusi of dishonor nor Iwored
In the shame of defeat.
Not alone in the bloody strife of
battle has It led triumphant hosts to
victory. It has floated above the
great industrial army of development
and civilization which has swept over
our country from ocean to ocean and
joined the Orient and the Occ'dnt;
Which has crossed mountains mid
plowed prairie, felled the forests, built
school houses and churches, dug Into
the earth for Its precious stores of
mineral wealth and opened up the nat
ural resources of a country. blessed be
yond all others by divine providence;
it. has been raised In the regions cl
perpetual ice, In the glaciers of Alas
ka and beneath tho tropical sun ol
Porto lllco and the Philippines. Be
neath it continents are being cut in
twain for the commercial traffic ol
the world.
It floats over your school yards, an
ever present object lesson in patriot
ism to the generation to follow us;
over your public edifices as a constant
reminder that to be entitled to the
blessings which it typifies we must
ever hold public office to be a public
trust; and In and over your churches
to remind you that while church and
state shall ever he held separate and
apart, every proper religion shall have
its protection without partiality or dls
crimination.
Webster's Hope More Than Fulfilled.
The hope of Webster has been more
than fulfilled, for Its thirteen stripes ot
red and white and Its stars set in its
azure field are not only still high ad
vanced, with not a stripe erased or
polluted or a single star obscured,
but is field of blue has filled with new
stars, as each succeeding state became
a part of the Union, until the little
constellation upon which Webster gaz
ed has become a galuxy.
' Otboj' ajrV yet to be added, as the
wards '.dr' the "nation now In tutelage
shall become worthy of self-government;
and among them some day
shall come another star to take Its
place to represent a state In our dis
tant Asiatic possessions, and no name
will be more honored In the ceremo
nies of that day than that of the first
governor of the Philippines, our own
citizen and neighbor.
From this day until the people ex
press their choice at the ballot box In
November this spot will be visited by
many distinguished Americans. II
will be the Mecca to which hundreds
will make their pilgrimage to pay
their respects to their great party
leader.
It has been thought by the good citi
zens of this city that It would be em
inently proper that, upon this spot,
which will todav become historical,
the glorious emblem of our country
shall be raised to greet the eyes and
welcome the steps of these, our com
ing guests and visitors.
To you, Mr. Charles P. Taft, as the
representative of your distinguished
brother. Is entrusted this loving tribute
of your and his neighbors nnd fellow
citizens, that It may float on high on
every proper occasion to do honor to
one who has made a record which
will reflect luster upon himself and
this, his home city, and who, If se
lected by the American people as their
president, will prove a worthy suc
cessor to his predecessors in that ex
alted station; so that In days to come,
when our youth shall read the history
of their country, one of the names
which shall go down into its annals
as representative of the highest type
of official character and devotion to
public duty will be that of William
Howard Taft.
GREAT SHOWING BY

Three Members ot Pennsylvania
National Guard Killed.
Standard Oil Fine Reversed Mayflow
er Sank Schooner Quebec's Ter
centenary Governor Hughes Will
Accept America Wins New York to
Parle Race Remorse Drew Him to
Scene of Crime.
On the eve of their departure for
their homes three men of the Pennsyl
vania National Guard were struck
dead in one of the most severe elec
trical storms ever experienced on the
historical battlefield of Gettysburg
about 10 o'clock Thursday night. The
dead are:
Private Bnrbe, Eighteenth regiment.
Private Morrison, Tenth regiment.
Private Carver, Eighteenth regi
ment. When the storm came up Governor
Stuart was entertaining a few friends
in his tent. The storm broke with
such suddenness and fury that the oc
cupants of the tent were entangled in
the canvas and ropes but all escaped
serious Injury.
There were nearly fifty men in the
regimental guard tent of the Tenth
regiment when the storm broke and
not one is believed to have escaped in
Jury. The men of the Second brigade,
whose tents were pitched In the low
land, were forced to swim to snfety.
When the storm swept down upon
the camp there were hundreds of vis
itors present. Scores of men and wo
men sought shelter In the V. M. C. A.
tent. This Immense sheet of canvas
was tossed like a toy balloon In a
gale of wind, but strangely enough not
one person was injured.
The greatest excitement prevailed
and many troopers who were Injured
could be located only by their cries
for assistance, all the lights in the
camp having been extinguished by the
terrific wind.
Standard Oil Fine Reversed.
Following the unanimous decision
on Wednesduy of Judges Grosscup,
Seaman and Buker, composing the
United States circuit court of ap
peals, reversing aud remanding the
case of the government against the
Standard Oil company of Indiana, in
which case Judge Landis in the dis
trict court hud imposed a fine of f 29,
240,000, the federal attorneys an
nounced that the government had
thirty days within which to file a pe
tition for a rehearing, and that it
would be filed within the allotted per
iod. In the case that was reversed the
Standard Oil company of Indiana was
found guilty of acceptlug rebates on
shipments of oil from its refinery at
Whiting, Ind., to East St. Louis, Ills.
Judge Landis fined the compnny $20,
000 on each of 1,4(12 counts, each
count representing a carload ship
ment. The opinion of three judges of the
higher court leaves little ot the con
tention that each carload constituted
a separate offense. Even the vari
ous shipments, of which there were
about 500, could not be considered as
separate offenses under the ruling of
the court of appeals.
The fine should have been baaed up
on settlements between the railroad
and the oil company, the opinion
holds. Of these there were just thlr-
ty-slx. The maximum fine on this
basis would amount to $720,000, and
the minimum $.16,000.
It Is said that $223,000 is the total
amount which the Standard Oil com
pany Is alleged to have received as
rebates on the shipments In question.
In the event that a rehearing Is de
nied the government may go to trial
on the original indictment containing
1,462 counts. Such an action District
Attorney Sims could be ready to take
within two weeks. There are also
seven other indictments, containing
4,422 counts.
Another move which may be made
by the federal attorneys Is to trans
fer the prosecution from this Jurisdic
tion either to the Western New York
district or to the Eastern Tennessee
court. In these two districts, the gov
ernment Investigation led to Indict
ments containing about 2,000 counts
against the Standard Oil company.
