Chicago, June 19.—Riding over every obstacle and safely negotiating the picturesque last barrier of the thirj-term specter, the candidacy of William H.

On the first ballot the secretary of war was nominated as the republican party’s standard-bearer by 702 votes at the Chicago convention on Thurs day. Hughes, governor of New York, re ceived 67 votes.

Such is the record of the republican national convention, effected amid scenes of tumultuous enthusiasm, and after a nerve-racking continuous ses sion lasting nearly eig'ht hours. With president named and platform enun ciated, there remained - only^ the^ nomi nation of the vice president. A Tumultuous Scene. The picture within the walls of the vast amphitheater as the presidential candidate was named was one truly grandiose in its magnitude. In front, to the right and left, below and abovfe, the billowing sea of humanity, rest less after hours of waiting and stirred from one emotion to another, was in a fever of expectancy for the culmin ating vote. The favorite sons of other states had been named, save Knox and LaFollette, and now on the roll call came Ohio. As the Buckeye State was reached the ta^ll, /gaunt form of The»a«ore B.’ Burton, with student-like face and eever« black, clerical garb, advanced to the platform to nominate Ohio's candidate. He spoke fervently, with the singing voice of an evangelist, which went ringing through the great hulldlng. The close of his speech of nomination was the signal for loos ing the long pent-up feeling of the Taft legions. Instantly the Ohio del egates were on t;helr feet, other states following, while the convention hosts. In gallery and on floor, broke into mad demonstration. “Taft—Taft—W. H. Taftl** came in a roar from the Ohioans. J Maelstrom of Goitfeulatlo^ Men. All ' semblance of order had heen abandoned, and the delegates’ arena was a maelstrom of gesticulating men; the guidons of the states were snatch ed up by the Taft enthuslastls or borne under by the storm of disorder. The band was. Inaudible—a mere whieper above the deafening volume of sound. For ten, fifteen, then twenty minutes, this uproad continued. It was.a rep etition of the scene when the name of Roosevelt threw the convention into a frenzy, repeated in intensity and almost in duration. But there is a limit to the physical resources of throat and lung, and at last the tlr^ voices died down to a horase shout, and finally subsided, and the conven tion then proceeded with the legiti mate business of the day.
