The convention will be called to order at tho Mad-
son Street Theatre at 10 a. m. tomorrow IL
was practically decided upon that ex-senator
Window would DO suggested and elected
temporary chairman. Beyond that point no plan has
bean defined for the further proceedings although II Is
the present belief the work o. the convention VIII
be concluded tomorrow, though some dlmcuy may oe
experienced by the COMMITTEES on Resolutions In reach-
Ing a conclusion. The conservative clement VIII oe'
mand that tho Republican party shall assist In the
enforcement of state force and aim at ut
mate prohibition for Nation. Some OF the Iowa ana
Kansas delegates will insist upon an unqualified PROM
bltion plank In the National platform, but are not
expected to insist upon that point defeated on the
floor OF the convention. The Illinois delegates VIII
PROBABLY favor the middle course.
"Our DESIRE" said A. Griffin, OF Manhattan. Kan,
who probably represents tue views held by the con-
seryative clement "is 20 form any organization
but to formulate the position to he taken by the kepp
