They selected one of Ohio's most reputable Republicans, Robert Alphonso Taft, elder son of the 27th President of the U. S., grandson of Grant's Secretary of War and Attorney General.

After a 14-hour session, which ended at 1 A. M., the Kemp slate was in, the Ivey slate out. And Richmond observers thought that Mr. Ivey would also be out as soon as the new directorate could pick his successor...
