Third Days Work of the Convention at Chicago
The third day of the Republican National Convention opened with intense heat and crowded galleries. Taft supporters placed key aides on the floor to monitor rivals, while early arrivals from Ohio and Illinois filled the seats and galleries. Hopkins read the platform amid fierce gallery noise, and Cooper presented a minority report advocating rail valuation, expanded Interstate Commerce powers, campaign finance publicity, and other reforms. The roll call to nominate president unfolded amid uproar, with Taft ultimately winning on the final roll, and the day concluding with a party recess.
