Harrisburg, 16.-The Republican
convention was called to order at
1925. Roll call showed the only
contest was that in the Fourth AL
legheny district which was still IN
settled, although the rival factions
had been endeavoIing al night to
come to an agreement. Ex-senator
WodelI was elected temporary
chairman. The chairman fald the
news from Washington behooved
Republicans to stand shoulder to
shoulder in the contest in Pennsyl
vania. It was the duty of the con-
Vention to select delegates TO Chi
csgo who will voice the sentiment
of the state and carry out the I'M
doubted wishes of the people. A COM
mittee on contested seats, with John
Stewart as chairman, also COM
mittee on permanent organization
and resolutions we've appointed. A
motion was made by delegate that
the committee on resolutions be in
structed to bring in a resolution
naming James o. Blaine for Press
ident and Robert T. Lincoln for
Vice>President. An amendment
was moved and accepted to make
the resolution include instructions
to delegates at large to vote for
Blaine. The motion and amend
ment carried by a vote of 200 to
Nearly all the negative votes came
from Philadelphia. Various COM
mittees were then notified
to meet. A recess of an
hour was taken.
Two hours passed before the con
vention reasseTRbled the committee
on permanent organization reported
unanimously in favor of Galusta A.
Grow, for permanent chairman.
Report was adopted. Mr.. Grow
having taken tie chair, revived the
achievements of the Republican
party during the past quarter of a
century down to the present
issue on the tariff question.
He was for a protective tariff which
would secure for the laborer of this
country a comfortable living for
himself and family. Cheapness of
is not to be desired at |
the expense of wages of the laboring
man. Free trade, he thought, was
logical theory based upon
mistaken facts.
On reassembling, the Chair an
nounced that the committee on con- |
tested seats was still unable to res
port, and the time was taken up |
until 1925 in making up last district |
delegates to the National Conven-
ton when recess was taken. The /!
committee appointed by the State
committee to report upon the FEAST
bility of altering the present form
of primary elections and adopting
plan by which candidates for Office
should be voted for by the people,
was reported adversely. The com.
mittee took the ground that such a
system was not advisable.
Resolutions were adopted to ap-
pIOfC Guc pEoeouG pIOtOCtlHS LdIln |
and demanding its continuance. The
fourth plank Gays: "As dual stan>
dard for the precious metals can only
be maintained by the conference
and cooperation of the commercial
nations of the world, and as they
cannot be had at the present time,
an attempt to maintain such a
standard by the United States alone,
is calculated to produce serious
complication in our monetary
system. It is earnestly recon-
nended to our Senators and Repre-
Ientatives in Congress that they
1rge such legislation as will suspend
he coinage of standard oliver dol
ars until united action with other
lations can be had.
The fifth recommends the re-
irement OF the trade dollar in ex.
hange for standard dollars without
Increasing the monthly issue Of the
after. The sixth says that the In
egrity and wisdom Of the admins
ration of President Arthur has des
ervedly won the respect, confidence
