Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Chicago.—'William Howard Taft received the nomination for Pres
ident of the United States at 9:25 o’clock Saturday night at the hands
of the most remarkable national convention of the Republican party
ever held. The vote was: Taft 561, Roosevelt 107, La Follette 41,
Cummins 17, not voting 343.
James S. Sherman was nominated for Vice President.
The revolt of many of the Roosevelt
delegates In the convention was open
from the moment the permanent roll
containing the names of contested del
egates was approved.
A "valedictory” statement was read
in behalf of Col. Roosevelt asking that
his name be not presented and that hi 3
delegates sit in mute protest against
all further proceedings.
A great majority of the Roosevelt
delegates In the Illinois and all in the
Missouri and Idaho delegations de
clined to follow this advice, but Col.
Roosevelt’s sway over delegations
from California, Kansas, Maine, Min
nesota, Nebraska. New Jersey, Penn
sylvania, South Dakota and West Vir
ginia was all but absolute.
Most of the delegates from these
states announced their purpose of
helping give Mr. Roosevelt an inde
pendent nomination at another hall
later in the evening.
The split in the convention occa
sioned no surprise. It was but a ful
filment of predictions that had been
made during the last several days.
The closing scenes of the conven
tion were marked by counter demon

President Taft Hears the News.
Washington.—President Taft spent
the day Saturday about as usual, fin
ishing the afternoon on the golf links
with his sonff. Robert and Charles. He
gave out a statement in which he
said:
“A national convention of one of
the great parties is ordinarily import
ant only as a preliminary to a national
campaign for the election of a Pres
ident. The Chicago convention just
ended is much more than this, and is
in itself the end of a pre-convention
campaign presenting a crisis more
threatening and issues more important
than those of the election campaign
which is to follow between the two
great national parties.
“The importance of the great vic
tory which has been achieved cannot
be overestimated. All over this coun
try patriotic people are breathing
more freely that a most serious men
ace to our Republican institutions has
been averted.”
render alien to one another those who
ought to be tied In fraternal affec
tions.”
Mr. Harding referred later to the
’’Progressives” when he said that lie
had heard men "arrogate” to them
selves that title, "seemingly forgetting
that progression is the first essential
to Republican fellowship.”
"Progression is not proclamation, nor
palaver.” he said. "It Is not pretense
nor play on prejudice. it Is not of
personal pronouns nor perennial pro
nouncement. It Is not the perturbation
of a people passion-wrought nor a
promise proposed. Progression Is ever

Rocky Mountain Metropolis.
Denver. —The action of the Roose
velt delegates id the national conven
tion at Chicago in organizing a con
vention of their own and nominating
Colonel Roosevelt for President at the
head of a new party, and the accept
ance of Roosevelt on condition that
their action be ratified at a regular
convention, makes it more than prob
able that Denver will succeed in
bringing the third party gathering
hero.
The Denver boosters say that as
they are first in the field for the con

considered lightly by the third party
leaders, Denver's chances are there
fore exceptionally bright.

business men tHat they would do ev
erything in their power to bring the

Home Made Bonbon for a-Luncheon—
New Way to Serve Apple
Salad.
A home-made bonbon of a spring
luncheon is achieved by dipping big
atrawberries with the hulls on them
In a fondu such as is used for cream
candles. This may be the boiled or
unboiled variety made from confec
tioners’ sugar and white of eggs. Let
the cream harden, but do not keep
too long, as the strawberry soon
spoils. Keep In a cold place.
Apple salad seems a rather poor
excuse to most persons, but Is at least
artistic if served In the highly pol
ished apple shells. Scoop out the con
tents, cut Into small pieces and mix
with equal parts of finely shredded
celery and a well seasoned mayon
naise. Fill the hollow apples and gar
nish the tops with shredded red and
green peppers.
Sweet French Rolls.
Cream one-fourth of a cupful of but
ter and one-fourth cupful of Bugar to
gether and gradually beat into a pint
of light sponge. Add two eggs, whites
enough to make of the same thickness
ns before. Cover and stand In warm
place until it begins to rise; then add
flour to make a soft dough and knead
well. Set aside again until doubled
in size, then shape like Parker house
rolls. When light make three parallel
creases across the top of each. Brush
with the beaten white of egg in cold
water and a little vanilla. Sprinkle
granulated sugar thickly over the top.
Hake fifteen minutes. When done lay
a napkin over the rolls In the pan for
five minutes, which makes a tender
crust.
Delicious Pie Crust.
To every heaping cup of lard use
four cups flour (well sifted.) Lightly
rub the lard well Into the flour by the
finger tips. When all together make
a hole in the center of the mixture,
and gradually pour In enough ice wa
ter to make a good dough. Use a sil
ver knife to mix with, and handle as
little as possible. Place on the ice
before using. This amount will make
fofrr small pies To keep In the Juice
of black or blueberry pies leave
enough of both crusts to hang well
over tlie edge of the tin. and roll it
up as you would jelly roll.
Towels.
Shake towels out well and hang
them on the line, with their upper
edges parallel with it. When they are
taken down fold, immediately, and put
away. No Ironing will be necessary,
which saves quite a little time and
energy. This same thing applies to
cloths and wash cloths.
Cabbage a la Cauliflower.
Shave finely one small head of cab
bage. cook in boiling salted water un
til tender, then stir together one smnll
cup of milk, one tnblespoon of flour
and some butter. Cook a few min
utes and servo.
