The Warner Delegates Seated
Bothwe1 Was Chairman.

SPRINGFIELD, Mo-, July at was
just IL o'clock when, with a band
playing in front and a drum corps in
the rear of the opera house, Chauncey
l. Filley, followed by the faithful Al
bert Griffin, state secretary, marched
into the republican state conven-
tion hall The building was crowded.
Most of the delegates were in their
seats, and when the state chairman
made his appearance his admirers stood
up and cheered. Springfield people
had decorated the convention hall very
prSttily with flags and bunting. Filley
sat for several minutes after his ar
rival and the ovation it caused in the
chairman's seat facing the convention;
and smiling as though he felt satisfied
that his work had been well done. Rev.
]. Z. Lenz opened the conven ton with
prayer.
Mr.. Filley then stepped forward on
the platform and said: ''Thirty-two
years ago the republican party was
first organized in Missouri" The re-
publican party, he said, was increas-
ing in strength. numbers and respect
ability. lie declared that the repub-
lican party would turn back the enemy
and, Sheridan-like, with Mckinley at
the head, drive them out of their pres
ent position of power. He told of the
growth of the party from year to year,
and then, jumping to a tip-toe posi-

clared, had seen enough of misgovern-

of them. 1t was the fault of the peo-

at 2:10 o'clock took a recess until eight
o'clock at night
