ROOSEVELT IS NOMINATED
BY NteW PARTY '
Closing Scenes of Chicago Were
Marked By Much Excitement
Among Delegates.
With nearly 350 of the Roosevelt
delegates declining to vote and has
tening a.way at adjournment time
to tender to Colonel Theodore
Roosevelt the nomination of a new
party the fifteenth republican na
tional ^convention at the end of a
long and tumultuous session Satur
day night renominated William
Howard Taft of Ohio for president
and James Schoolcraft Sherman of
New York for vi«pe president.
President Taft received 561 of the
1,078 votes in the convention, or 21
more than a majority.
.The decision of the Roosevelt
people, under direction of their
leader, to refrain from voting, left
no other candidate near the presi
dent. The announcement of the
Taft victory was greeted, with
cheering from his adherents and
groans and hisses from the opposi
tion.
_ When it became absolutely cer
tain that Mr. Taft would be nomi
nated without great difficulty, the
leaders in control of the conven
tion decided to give him as a run
ning mate his companion on the
ticket of 1908.
All others topped from the race
and Mr\ Sherman was the only can
didate regularly placed before the
convention. A motion from New
Hampshire to make the nomination
by acclamation was declared, out of
order. There were many scatter
ing votes on the roll call that en
sued.
The convention amid much con-
fusion adjourned sine die.
At no time was there an indica
tion of a walk out of Roosevelt
velt delegates. They expressed
their revolt by silence.
In the confusion just before ad
journment a resolution was adopted
giving the national committee
power to declare vacant the seat of
any man on the committee refusing
to support the nominee of the regu
lar convention of 1912.
The followers of Colonel Roose
velt gathered in Orchestra hftll,
less than a mile from the Coliseum
and pledged their support to the
former president.
In accepting the nomination Colo
nel Roosevelt appealed to the peo
ple of all sections, regardless of
party affiliations to stand with <dthe
founders of the new party, one of
which cardinal principals he said,
was to be “thou shalt not steal.”
The informal nomination of Colo
nel Roosevelt was said to be chiefly
for the purpose of effecting a tem
porary organization. Beginning
tomorrow, when a call is to be is
sued for a state convention in Bli-
nois, the wd^k of organization will
be pushed forward rapidly, state by
state. At a later tin^e, probably
early in August, it is intended that
a national convention shall be held.
Colonel Roosevelt, in accepting the
nomination, tonight said he did so
understanding that he would will
ingly step aside if it should be the
desire of the new party, when or-
l^ized, to select another standard-
bmrer.

night the at^ress which he had
^4bpared for the republican con
vention.
Bepn^ntatives of twenty-two
states composed the noniination
oonunittee which informed Ck>lonel
a sense stood as sponsors for the
naovement.
When the^doors were opened the
surging crowd held in check by the
police were ushered first to the
balcony and galleries. These were
quickly filled and th^ police had
difficulty in handling the throng.
The crowd extended for blocks in a
line four deep.
Senator dapp of Minnespta read
the resolution nominating Colonel
Roosevelt. It was adopted with a
cheer.
Colonel Roosevelt j^ras escorted
to the hall by the notification com
mittee, accompanied by Senator
Dixon and Governor gtubbs of
Kansas. As the colonel entered
the hall there was a storm of ap
plause. The people leaped to their
feet with a shout and foj five min
utes there was pandemonium.
Col. Roosevelt mounted the plat
form and waved his hands, smiling
with delight at the reception.
When he said he would accept the
nomination there was another fren
zied demonstration.
He expressed his gratification to
the delegates who stood by him.
When Colonel Roosevelt con
cluded there was a wild rush for
the platform and a score of men
scrambled for the leaves of the
colonel’s manuscript which he
dropped. The cheers almost drown
ed out the band which continued
to play “There’ll be a Hot Time in
the Old Town Tonight.”
Governor Johnson dismissed the
meeting after calling upon the dele
gates to meet Sunday afternoon.

COUNTY CONVENTION
7' ■ - ,
REPimUGANS HOLD HAR
MONIOUS MEETING
Charles B. Deayer to He*d the
Ticket J. H.Pickelsimer
For Sheriff
The republican county conven
tion met in the court house Satur
day afternoon and nominated a full
county ticket to oppose the ticket
put out by the democrats a few
weeks ago. The meeting was very
harmonious and was in no way
similar to the convention at Chi
cago.
D. lii English was made chair
man of !|the meeting and Chas. E.
Orr was made secretary.
The first business disposed of was
the election of delegates to the
state and congressional conven
tions. The following delegates and
alternates were elected to the state
convention: M. L. Hamilton, O.
W. Clayton, A. J. Beck, H.
Faulkner, J. H. Pickelsimer, W. L.
'f'alley, T. H. Hampton. Alter
nates: Dr. E. S. English, Tom Sur-
rett, Chas. E. Orr, H. P. Moore,
Ranzy Glazener, Lee Fisher, W. M.
Lyday.
Delegates to the congressional
convention: W. M. Lyday, E. A.
Heath, A. M. White, Will Raines,
J. C. Moore, Wesley McCall, T. M.
Glazener.
O. W. Clayton was made county
chairman for the next two years.
After all preliminary business
was disposed of, the nominations
for the different county offices
were made as follows:
Representative—Chas. B. Deaver.
Sheriff—J. H. Pickelsimer.
The two foregoing wete nomi
nated without opposition, but when
it came to register of deeds almost
every delegate had a man to put
up, so it seemed. The candidates
were Lewis Hamlin, John L. Wal
drop, Arthur Hamilton and Thos.
Surrett. On the first ballot there
was some misunderstanding on the
part of the delegates and a second
ballot was taken, which resulted as
follows: Hamlin 16, Waldrop 7,
Hamilton 5, Surrett 1. Lewis Ham
lin was declared the nominee.
There was no opposition to Ed
Raines as the nominee for treasurer.
Whit Duncan was nominated as
surveyor without opposition, as
was also Dr. Emmett Lyday for
coroner.
The following were put in nomi
nation for commissioners: W. L.
Talley, J. M. Thrash, Tom Garren,
W. P. Weilt, Millard Galloway, S.
E.. McCall, W. H. Grogan, V. C.
Moore, Arthur Miller, Lee R. Fish
er. The first ballot resulted as fol
lows : Talley 26, Thrash 2)^, Gar
ren 0, Weilt 14%, Galloway 6, Mc
Call 3, Grogan 3X, Moore 18, Mil
ler 9, Fisher 3. .
As it takes a fraction over 14% to
nominate, Talley and Moore were
declared nominated, and a second
ballot was ordered to nominate the
third man. This resulted as fol
lows : Miller 21, Weilt 8, Fisher 4.
Miller was declared the nominee. ^
This concluded the business of
the conveintion.
' Perry Moore made some remarks
under the head of “good of the
prdp^.” Hir remarks were to the
point and stirred up more enthusi-
a^ than had been shown previous.
He mac^ a strong appeal for a clean
campa^n and an honest election.

The season at Lake Toxaway
open^ Monday, &nd everything up
there was in readiness for the occa
sion, which was an auspicious one,
as an xmusual number of reserva
tions had been made.
R. F. Oneil and Ed. D. Page had
everything in “ship shape” for the
opening to the public of this ever
populflj midsummer resort for rest
and recreation.
Some very important improve
ments have been made for this
year’s business. First and fore
most, a hydro-electric power plant
has been installed below,the huge
dam that forms the lovely lake.
The water that has heretofore cun
to waste has been harnessed, tind
300 horsepower is generated and is
used for the varisd purposes of
lighting the hotel, running the new
laundry. T^e ice plant is a com
plete and valued addition, and em
braces several spacious cold storage
rqoms for meats, milks, fruits and
vegetables. The capacity is ample
for demands.
The new laundry building is of
brick, and is equipped with the
very latest and most modern ma
chinery, assuring work of the best
order along this line.
New steel ranges have been
placed in the large, tile-floored
kitchen, and the arrangement and
appointment here is adequate and
very serviceable.
There are about 1,600 electric,
lights presenting a brilliant array
at night. The entire building, huge
one that it is, has been repainted
both inside and out, and its 200
rooms are well-nigh all that could
be desired for comfort and conve
nience.
Approximately ^75,000 has been
expended since last season for ii!h-
provements. These include, beside
the aforementioned, ten or twelve
.miles of driveway along the lake
shore, and excellent golf links.
These pleasurable pastimes are
augmented by bathing, swimming,
boating, fishing fo’* mountain trout,
tennis, pool, billiards, bowling,
horse-back riding, driving, moun
tain climbing, and in fact and in
short an endless variety of ever-
changing yet enchanting enter
tainment.
During the delightful evenings
music, dancing and card playing
are the fascinating and entrancing
delectations.—Ga,zette-News.
RAILWAY OFFICIALS AT TOXAWAY
A number of officials of the
Southern railway x>assed through
Brevard Monday afternoon en route
to Lake Toxaway to attend the
joint convention of the southeast
ern and southwestern passenger as
sociations, which convened Tues
day. The meeting ended Thursday..
On Tuesday a delegation of Bre
vard business men went to Lake
Toxaway to induce the members of
the associations to stop over in
Brevard on their return trip. The
delegation was compo^d of the fol
lowing gentlemen: Messrs. W. E.
tBreese, Jr., H. H. Thomas, H. Mad-
ley, D. C. ^inclair. Welch Galloway
and W. H^i Duckworth.
The party will spend a short
time in Brevard Friday morning,
and will be entertained by Bre
vard’s business men.
These associations seldom hold
joint meetings, and the meeting
being held in this section will prove
of much benefit to the “Land of
Lakes and Waterfalls,” as this body
of men arrange the passenger rates
over ^1 the railroads of the south
and southwest. If they are fayor-c
ably impressed with their vi^tto
this country it will doubtless result
in a number of low rates being
n^e from various parts of the
conntey to this vicinity.
Besides the buedness meetings
held, there were a number of soj^at
funci^ons connected with the mat
ing. A large ntimber of ladi^
i^ves and daughters of‘ the
bers of the association, were a^
at Toxaway, and the sooiia pwrt of
the meetii^ was thorotighly ent
joyed.' ■ ■ '.-V
