Convention Hall. Chicago, 111., June 10.—The nomination of
Justice Charles E. Hughes to-dav is accepted upon all sides as the
logical and proper outcome of a remarkable convention. Until the
ballot was taken, however, there was great uncertainty and the mes
sage from Oyster Hay for a moment caused a wave of demoralization
to sweep over the immense throng that crowded every inch of the
Coliseum.
There is general satisfaction over the result. Every step in the
proceedings has been taken with infinite patience and regard for the
rights of all concerned. Only the most radical Progressive finds
reason for complaint. I lis only protest is that the Colonel was not
chosen to lead the reunited party. Substantial union has been
achieved and a winning campaign is assured. Justice Hughes is
believed to represent the highest ideals of the Republican party and
there appears to be 110 doubt here that he will have the support of
eighty per cent, of the Progressive vote.
Prominent leaders of the Roosevelt wing have told me to-day
that the radical and intolerant and irreconcilable section of their
organization have refused to listen to the counsel of the experienced
and level-headed and will go their own way, but that the nomination
of Justice Hughes means the coming together of all who subscribe
to the Republican doctrine and who are grounded in the faith
E. J. S. '
Coliseum. Chicago, June 10.—Charles Evans Hughes,
of New York, was to-day nominated for President of the
United States by the Republican national convention and
Charles Warren Fairbanks, of Indiana, was named for
\ ice-President.
Justice Hughes' nomination came 011 the third ballot
and but one ballot was needed to select for Vice-Presi
dent Fairbanks.
There was an enthusiastic demonstration after the
candidates were named.
The delegates considered the nomination of Fair
banks so certain that after giving their ballots to the
heads of delegations, they began piling out- of the hall
and almost drowned out the voting with the noise.
Fairbanks was nominated by a vote of 863: Burkett
polled 108: Johnson 1; Borah 8; Webster 2: Burton 1.
Three not voting and one absent. Pennsvlvania gave him
7 4 votes and Burkett 1. One of the Pennsylvania dele
gates was absent.
Charles Evans Hughes was nominated on the third
ballot. His vote was practically unanimous. He received
>49]/ 2 . Roosevelt received 18y 2 , DuPont, 5; Weeks 3-
3, and Lodge, 7. One was absent.
