With nearly 350 of the Roosevelt delegates declining to vote the Re publican national convention at Chi cago renominated William Howard Taft of Ohio for president and James Schoolcraft Sherman of New York lor vice president. President Taft received 561 of the 1,078 votes In the convention, or twenty-one more than a majority. Vlco President Sherman got u!7. The decision of the Roosevelt peo ple under direction of their leader, to retrain from voting, left no other can didate near the president. The an nouncement of the Tart victory was greeted with cheering from his ad herents and groans at nd hisses from the opposition. The detailed roll was: Taft, 561; Roosevelt, 107; La Follette, 41; Cum mlns,7; Hughes, 2; not voting, 344; absent, 6. When It became certain that Mr. Taft would he nominated without great difficulty the leaders In control of the convention decided to give him as n running mate his companion on the ticket In 1908. All others dropped from the ra- and Mr. Sherman was the only cand date regularly placed before the coi, ventlon. A motion from New Hamp- hlre to make the nomination by ac clamation was declared out of order. There were many scattering votes on tho roll call that e3ued. Warren G. Harding of Ohio placed the name of President Taft In nomina tion for the presidency. When New York, Roosevelt's Btate, was called there was no response and it became clearly evident that Roosevelt had made good his threat to bolt the con vention and break away from the Re publican party. Mr. Harding when he nominated President Taft referred repeatedly to the strife In the Republican conven tion. He declared that "only once he- fore was the foundation of the nation attacked," making reference to the Civil war. He Insisted that the people do rule, saving: "The American people liter- allv began to rule In 1776 and there Sale A Sale of Men's Clothing having made by a syndicate of New York, FfPP Pflr Com I!

Mr. Harding referred later to the "progressives" when he said that he had heard men "arrogate" to them selves that title, "seemingly forgetting that progression is the first essential to republican fellowship." John Wanamaker of Philadelphia md Nicholas Murray Butler, presl Ipnt of Columbia university, seconded Taft's nomination. Michael D. Olbrleh of Wisconsin put ;ho name of Senator La Follette be fore the convention. Robert M. Pol lack of North Dakota seconded tho nomination.

Former President Roosevelt was nominated for president on an Inde pendent ticket In the dying hours of the Republican national convention. The colonel's followers gathered in Orchestra hall and held their conven tion. The bolt enme as a result of tho convention refusing to unseat somo ninety Taft delegates and substituting in their places Roosevelt delegates. The colonel claims these Taft men were put on the roll by fraud and his followers refused to take part any longer in what they considered an il legally constituted convention. Colonel Roosevelt thanked the dele gates for the nomination. He said that he recognized them as lawfully eler-ted delegates representing an overwhelming majority of the voters at the primaries, but said he would accept the nomination subject to the formation and approval of a new party. He told them to go home, llnd out the sentiment of their people and then meet in "mass convention to nominate for the presidency a progres sive candidate on a progressive plat form." Colonel Roosevelt referred to President Taft as "the man who In spired and profited by the fraud." The colonel continued: "I am In this light for certain prin ciples and the first and most im portant of these goes back to Siqal, and is embodied In the commandment 'Thou Shalt Not St.-al.' Thou shalt not steal a nomination; thou shalt not steal In politics or in business. Thou shalt not st.ial from the people the right to rule themselves. "I do not know whether our coun trymen fully realize the gravity of the crisis which we at this moment face. There Is no use In holding primaries, no use in holding elections, if we per mit a small group of unscrupulous politicians, some of them certainly acting in the Interests of big crooked business, to exercise their veto power over these primaries and elections by upsetting the results at their own pleasure" Governor Johnson of California, who for the nropl pt imt I" tho eoimpri which we are a member.

No definite announcement of the plan was made and the date of the convention is still to be decided. H was rumored that it might be held here in Chicago on Aug. 23. In general the plan seems to utilize the Roosevelt machine In states which the colonel carried at the primaries and in other states to present a com plete progressive ticket. In New York, for instance. If tho plans tallied for are carried out thero will be progressive candidates for governor, congress and other relative olllces that may be open when the contest begins. In Pennsylvania It may be that Wil liam Minn's plan of having the regu lar Republican elector! cast their vote for Roosevelt who, of course, Is certain to be the candidate of the new party, may lie carried nut. In .Minnesota it i.-i pHmed to havo the electors who favor Roosevelt re sign and then to reappoint them by petition in order to nuke their posi tions secure. The plan of action in these and other states depends upon expert legal advice which is still to be had. At present everything con nected with the new movement except the expressed intention of the colonel and some of his leaders to make fight is up in the air.
