ium was packed 20 the doors Chairman
Coe Immediately introduced c. A. Lam
oreaux of Ashland, who had been chosen
temporary chairman OF the convention. Mr..
Lamoreaux claimed for the Republicans of
the Badger State the credit of having first
advocated the nomination of Mckinley. He
said no truer or better Republican could be
found than those who make up the party
in Wisconsin,; for they are sound on the
money question; sound on the tariff and
sound for William Mckinley.
Coming as / do from an iron-producing
section of the country; Mr.. Lamoreaux
people would favor the free and unlimited
coinage of iron at some arbitrary ratio and
there would be about as much reason in
such a demand as there is i'm the demand
of the free silverlte for the free coinage of
silver at a 16-to-1 ratio

ernor is at present plainly between the

question Is dismissed in simple declara-
ton. Sound money" and equitable

the restriction of immigration is called for.
After the adoption of the platform, A. r.
Hall, of Dunn, offered a plank declaring
against free railway passes for public off,
GERS Judges and members of legislatures.
Chairman Griffin ruled that it was out of
order and should have been referred TO
the committee on resolutions. Mr.. Hall in
sisted and it was necessary to call the
sergeant-at-arTns TO restore order.
Nominating speeches for Governor being
in order, the names of Robert NJ. Lafol-
lette, of Dane; Ira B. Bradford, of Eau
Claire; Emil Baensch, OF Manitowoc; EL-
gene b. Elliott. and G. L. Estabrook. of
Milwaukee; and Major Edward Schofeld. of

was taken 10 10 o'clock tomorrow, when a
ballot will be taken.
Before the adjournment and in secondng
Mr. Lafollette's nomination, ex-Governor
w. ID. Hoard made a speech declaring
that the Bennett law question is not in
volved in this campaign and denying COL
lusion between himself and Mr.. Lafollette.
He continued
