Hughes Nominated by Republicans on Third Ballot in Chicago
In Chicago the Republican convention chose Associate Justice Charles E. Hughes as standard bearer on the third ballot with 494 votes, while Charles Warren Fairbanks was named for vice president. Roosevelt’s Progressives nominated Roosevelt for president, Parker for vice president, and clashed with Hughes supporters over unity. The congress adjourned amid mood of cautious harmony and fear of a split, with women winning a modest endorsement for suffrage.
