The Speech OF the Day BY William
Henry Eustis.
William Henry Eustis was seen to
rise from the ranks of the Hennepin

words the platform he was greeted with
uproarious applause and laughter. This
was renewed when Chairman Rice, tax

William Henry Eustis." Mr.. Eustis
said:
Mr.. Chairman and Gentlemen of the Con-
yention: The nominating of candidate by
the Republican party is no idle ceremony
like ali other political. parties within our
state. 1t is matter of grave responsibility
upon our part and of deep concern on the

The committee on credentials was not
ready to report when the convention
reassembled at 2 o'clock. The dele

when some began to weary and calls
were made for speech. Attorney Gen

the enthusiasm of the delegates to a
high pitch. He tickled their magma

Merriam Talks Politics, But Is

The entrance of Gov. Merriam was
loudly cheered by his immediate sup
norters. Chairman Rice cordially
grasped him by the hand and introduced
him to the convention. Gov. Merriam
started off in this line:
Your committee has just apprised me Of

motion for an open ballot. The oppo-

his nomination. Whatever chance there
was of defeating him lay in secret
ballot, when, it was expected, there
would be a general break among the
delegates. Elated with their success
the Merriam leaders clamored for the
