President Taft's name was pre­ sented to the convention by Harding of Ohio, and the nomination was sec­ onded by John Wanamaker of Phila­ delphia and Nicholas Murray Butler of New York. LaFollette was the only other can­ didate presented to the convention, Colonel Roosevel early in the after­ noon expressing the desire that his name be not presented in the conven­ tion, and asking his friends to re­ frain from voting In the convention. The convention sat in comparative quiet through the nominating speeches. The vigorous efforts of en­ thusiasts to start demonstrations for their favorites met with only mod­ erate success. The galleries were shouted out and the delegates werc tired and wanted to get home. Th< result was foregone. , Cheering Is 8tarted. When the roll call started with Ala­ bama and it threw its strength to Taft a burst of cheering started. It was settled that the Taft forces would stand firm, just as they had stood from the time they selected Senator Root as temporary chairman through the bitter days of the convention un­ der the assaults of the Roosevelt forces. The Taft forces had all their old strength and a few band wagon climbers made it even larger. Pandemonium broke loose when the result was announced. The galleries rocked back and forth as if they would swell over and engulf the dele­ gates on the floor. The band went through the motions of playing, but no one could he - it. Finally it sub­ sided and the thousands started to crowd out of the building. The calling t ' the roll was filled with exciting incidents. Vice-President Next. After the tumult that followed the nomination of Taft had worn Itself out. Chairman Root announced that nominations for vice-president were In order. J. V. Olcott of New York was recognized and in a short speech presented the name of James S. Sher­ man to succeed himself. The nomin­ ation was seconded by representa­ tives from several states.

The nays were 68, and 16 were absent. No Nomination for Cummins. Immediately Chairman Root an­ nounced a call of the roll of the states for nominations. Alabama was passed, Arizona was silent. Down the list silence followed the calling of each state until Ohio was reached. A cheer greeted the stat$ and Warren G. Hard­ ing arose to place President Taft in nomination. Then it was discovered Iowa had forgotten to nominate Cummins, and Root ordered that the state be called again. Silence greeted the second call, for the Iowans had decided not to nominate Cummins, but to vote for him. cx Thee Ohio was called again, and Harding took the platform, gfbeted by scattered, cheers, to nominate Taft Day of Battle*. Friday was a day of excitement and constant fighting between ahe Taft and Roosevelt forces on the floor of the Republican convention. A partial report from th® committee on creden­ tials was the cause of the sanguinary conflict. During the day four roll calls were taken which furnished some little gleam of hope for both sides. On one ballot the" Taft men polled the highest vote yet recorded for them, 605. A little later whatever significance might have been attached to that vote was somewhat discounted when the Roosevelt adherents mustered a strength of 529, which was the high mark so far for the colonel's side. The Roll Calls. The roll calls were occasioned by majority and minority reports from the credentials committee on the seat­ ing of contested delegates in the Ninth Alabama district. The roll call was on a motion to table Governor Had- ley's resolution that contested dele­ gates be not allowed to vote on the reports. This carried by a vote of $69 to 499--10 not voting.,, A motion made at once following, to substitute the minority report seating the Roosevelt men, as against the ma­ jority's steam roller candidates was lost by a vote of 464 to 606. In the second vote eight Idaho and twenty- five Wisconsin votes went with the Taft men. These states explained that as members of their delegations were on the credentials committee they desired to support that commit­ tee. They denied they had bolted to the Taft side on any other issue. The third ballot was on the Arizona contest case. The result was 664 to 497.' The fourth vote was on the Califor­ nia case.

This and a test vote which showed that the Taft following Is holding Its own were the two great features of the second day's session. When Governor Hadley appeared on the floor to close the debate on his resolution to seat the Roosevelt dele­ gates who had been unseated by the national committee the demonstration unexpectedly broke loose. It was nearly an hour from the time the demonstration started before the tumult had sufficiently subsided to enable tbe convention to resume buai- ness. Root Named Chairman. Senator Ellbu Root of New York was elected temporary chairman of the- Republican convention Tuesday afternoon apid scenes of great dis­ order, thus scoring an Important vlo- tory for the Taft forces.

Roosevelt delegates rioted for near­ ly a half hour in the Republican na­ tional convention as the temporary or­ ganization controlled by the Taft ma­ chine was made the permanent or- ganlzatou. Their riotous demonstra­ tions, quelled by the police, but served to delay the prepared action of the Bteam roller. The reports, majority and minority, of the rules committee were tabled and the convention proceeded under the old rules. Henry J. Allen, Kansas progressive, read Colonel Roosevelt's two con­ demnatory statements of the day, elic­ iting Bome by play and a few cheers from the floor. A Then Charles Warren Fairbanks be­ gan the reading of the report of the resolutions committee, the platform, a Taft platform. Argument at con­ siderable length on the platform fol­ lowed. Wisconsin and North Dakota mem­ bers of the resolutions committee, rep­ resenting Senator La Follette, offered a minority report, almost as long as the one read by Mr. Fairbanks, which Incorporated the views of the Wis­ consin senator on public questions.

RECALL STRONGLY OPPOSED Changes In Antf-Trust Laws Framed Protective Tariff Approved and Mod­ ifications Suggested--Lauds Pres­ ent and Pfst Administrations. Chicago.--The following is the plat­ form adopted by the Republican na­ tional convention on Saturday after­ noon: "The Republican party, assembled by Its representatives in national conven­ tion, declares its unchanging faith in government of the people, by the peo­ ple, for the people. We renew our al­ legiance to the principles of the Re­ publican institutions established by the fathers. "We believe in our self-controlled representative democracy which is a government of laws, not of men, and in which order is the prerequisite of progress. The Republican party will strive, not only in the nation, but in the several states, to enact the nec­ essary legislation to safeguard the public health; to limit effectively the labor of women and children and to wage-earners engaged iff dan­ gerous occupations; to enact compre­ hensive and generous workman's com­ pensation laws in place of the present wasteful and unjust system pf employ­ ers' liability; and in all possible ways to satisfy the just demand of the people for the study and solution of the complex and constantly changing problems of social welfare. "The Republican party reaffirms Its Intention to uphold at all times the authority and integrity of the courts, both state and federal, and it will ever insist that their powers to enforce their process and protect life, liberty and property shall be preserved In­ violate. "That the courts, both federal and state, may bear the heavy burden laid upon them to the complete satisfac­ tion of public opinion we favor legis­ lation to prevent long delays and the. tedious and costly appeals which have so often amounted to a denial of jus­ tice in civil cases and to a failure to protect the public at large In criminal cases. "Since the responsibility of the ju­ diciary is so great, the standards of judicial action must be always and everywhere above suspicion and re­ proach. While we regard the recall of judges as unnecessary and unwise, we favor such action as may be neces­ sary to simplify the process by which any judge who Is found to be derelict In his duty may be removed from of- five. 'Together with peaceful and order­ ly development at home, the Republi­ can party earnestly favors all meas­ ures for the establishment and pro­ tection of the peace of the world, and for the development of closer relations between the various nations of the earth. "It believes most earnestly in the peaceful settlement of international disputes and In the reference of all Justiciable controversies between na­ tions to an international court of jus­ tice. "The Republican party favors the enactment of legislation supplement­ ary to the existing anti-trust act, which will define as criminal offenses those specific acts that uniformly mark attempts to restrain and to monopolize trade, to the end that those who honestly intend to obey the law may have a guide for their ac­ tion and that those who aim to vio­ late the law may the more surely be unished. "In the enforcement and adminis­ tration of federal laws governing in­ terstate commerec and enterprises Impressed with a public use engaged therein, there is much that may be committed to a federal trade commis­ sion, thuB placing in the hands of an administrative board many of the functions now necessarily exercised by the courts. "We reaffirm our belief In a protec­ tive tariff. The protective tariff is so woven into the fabric of our Industrial and agricultural life that to substitute for it a tariff for revenue only would destroy many Industries and throw millions of our people out of employ­ ment. The products of the farms and of the mine should receive the same measure of protection as other prod­ ucts of American labor. "We hold that the import duties should be high enough while yielding a sufficient revenue to protect ade­ quately American industries and wages. Some of the existing Import duties are too high and should be re- duced. Readjustment should be made from time to time to conform to chang­ ing conditions and to reduce exoeasive rates, but without Injury to any Amer­ ican industry. To accomplish this cor­ rect information is Indispensable. This information can best be obtained by an expert commission, an the large volume of useful facts contained in the recent reports of the tariff board has demonstrated. "The pronounced feature of modern Industrial life is its enough diversifi­ cation. To apply tariff rates Justly to these changing conditions requires closer study and Biore scientific meth­ ods than ever before. The Republican party has shown by its creation of a tariff board, its recognition of this sit­ uation, and its determination to be Home Gambling. A man may gamble at home with Impunity, according to the unanimous ruling of the appellate division of the New York supreme court. He may engage in any game of chance, and money may change hands, but it must be at home. The case which evoked the court's decision grew out of the arrest of a man who was caught In the act, with four-others. In the po­ lice court he was held for the grand jury on the charge of being a common gambler. The county court sustained •anal to it. We oondejnn the Demoif cratic party for its failure either tft provide funds for the continuance of . this board or to make some other pro* vision for securing the Information requisite for intelligent tariff legisla^ tion. We protest against the Demo^ cratic method of legislating on these •1 tally important subjects without careful investigation. "We condemn the Democratic tariff bills passed by the house of repre­ sentatives of th© sixty-second congress as sectional, as injurious to tba publUn credit and as destructive of business enterprise. "The Republican party will support a prompt scientific inquiry Into tbe causes which are operative, both in the United States and elsewhere, to in­ crease the cost of living. When the. exact facts are known, it will take the necessary steps to remove any abuses that may be found to exist, In order that the cost of the food, cloth­ ing and shelter of the people may in no way be unduly or artificially In­ creased. "Our banking arrangements today need further revision to meet the re­ quirements • of new conditions. We need measures which will prevent the recurrence of money panics and finan­ cial disturbances and which will pro* mote the prosperity of business an<L the welfare of labor by producing con­ stant employment. We need better currency facilities for the movement of crops in the west and south. We need banking arrangements under American auspices for the encourage ment and better conduct of our for-, eign trade. In attaining these ends the independence of Individual banks, whether organized under national or state charters, must be carefully pro* tected and our banking and currency, system must be safeguarded from any possibility of domination by sectionaL financial or political Interests. "We recommend and urge* an au­ thoritative investigation of agricul­ tural credit societies and corporations in other countries and the passage of state and federal laws for the estab­ lishment and capable supervision of organizations having for their purpose the loaning of funds to farmers. "We reaffirm our adherence to the principle of appointment to public of£ flee based on proved fitness and tenure during good behavior and efficiency. The Republican party stands commit­ ted to the maintenance, extension and enforcement of the civil service law and it favors the passage of legisla­ tion empowering the president to ex­ tend the competitive service so far as practicable. "We favor the amendment of the federal liability law BO as to extend its provisions to all government employes as well to employ a more liberal scale of compensation for injury and death. "We favor such additional legislation as may be necessary more effectually to prohibit corporations from contrib­ uting funds, directly or Indirectly, to campaigns for the nomination or elec­ tion of the president, vice-president, senators and representatives In con­ gress. "We heartily approve the recent act of congress requiring the fullest pub­ licity in regard to all campaign con­ tributions. "We rejoice In the sucoess of the distinctive Republican policy of con­ servation of the natural resources for their use by the public without waste and monopoly. We pledge ourselves to a continuance of such a policy. Parcels Post. "In the Interest of the general pub­ lic and particularly of the agricultu­ ral or rural communities, we favor legislation looking to establishment, under proper regulations, of a parcels post, the postal rates to be graduated under a zone system in proportion to tbe length of the carriage. "We approve the action taken by the president and the congress to se­ cure with Russia as with other coun­ tries a treaty that will recognize the absolute rest of expatriation and that will prevent all discrimination of whatever kind between American cit­ izens. "We believe in the maintenance of an adequate navy for the national de­ fease and we condemn the action of the Democratic house of representa­ tives in refusing to authorize the con­ struction of additional ships. "We believe that one of the coun­ try's n»06t urgent needs is a revived merchant marine. The Mississippi riv#r Is the nation's drainage ditch. Hence we believe the federal govern­ ment should assume a fair proportion of the burden of its control so as to prevent the disasters from recurring floods. "We favor a liberal and systematlo policy for the improvement of our riv­ ers and harbors. Such improvements should be made upon expert informa­ tion and after a careful comparison of cost and prospective benefits. ' Immigration Laws. "We pledge the Republican party to the enactment of appropriate laws to give relief from the constantly grow­ ing evil of induoed or undesirable im­ migration, which is Inimical to the progress and welfare of the people of the United States. "We favor the speedy enactment of laws to provide that seamen shall not be compelled to endure Involuntary servitude and that life and property at sea shall be safeguarded by the ample equipment of vessels with life- saving appliances and with full com­ plements of skilled, able-bodied sea­ men to operate them. "We commend the earnest effort of the Republican administration to se­ cure greater economy and Increased efficiency in the conduct of govern­ ment. *We call upon the public to quicken their Interest in public affairs, to con­ demn and punish lynchlngB and other forms of lawlessness and to strength­ en In all possible ways a respect tor law and the observance of it." the charge, and the defendant's at­ torney carried the case to the appel­ late dlTic'os. If the defendant had been caught gambling away from home his offense would have been a crime. The identical act committed within his own four walls Is not a crime, for a man's home Is his "castle." even If it is only a flat. Pre­ sumably the four other persons pres­ ent at the game also lived at the same place, otherwise they would have been offenders against the Isvr* Boston Globe.
