Taft and Sherman Nominated at Republican Convention
The Republican National Convention nominated William Howard Taft of Ohio for president and James S. Sherman of New York for vice president on the first ballot after committees notified the candidates. Taft’s nomination occurred Thursday afternoon and Sherman’s Friday morning. The gathering featured strong applause for President Roosevelt and notable clashes over a proposed platform plank on judiciary reform, ending in a compromise to unite the party. Delegates from Europe and abroad attended, with ambassadors observing the proceedings in Indianapolis.
