THE CANDIDATES NOMINATED
most comforting of all who have helped has been Charles Fairbanks of Indiana,
whose nomination I second.
FAVORITE SONS ARE DROPPED
Chairman Cannon asked if there were any further nomina-
tions, and then said that by unanimous consent the further
call of the States would be dispensed with. Senator Depew
then asked unanimous consent that the roll call be suspended
and that Senator Fairbanks' nomination be made by a unanimous
vote. W. P. Miles of Nebraska objected and seconded
the nomination in behalf of his State. L. W. Parker of Mis-
souri followed and withdrew the name of Cyrus Wallbridge as
its candidate. The chairman then said: "Is there objection?
The chair hears none, and it only remains for the chair to
declare that Charles W. Fairbanks of the State of Indiana is
the candidate for vice-president for the term beginning March
4, 1905, by the unanimous choice of the convention."
