Taft Sherman Ticket Narrowly Wins GOP Delegates
The Taft Sherman ticket led the convention with 561 of 1 078 votes, 21 ahead of a required majority, while Roosevelt's delegates largely withdrew. A separate Progressive Convention elected Roosevelt to head a new independent ticket and planned plans for a running mate around August 7. The split signals a strong Democratic outlook this fall.
