CANTON, OHIO. Feb. S.-Ferdinand W.
Peck and Franklin Head of Chicago spent
an hour at Major McKinley's this even
ing talking over the aims of the National
Business Mems League. The league ad-
vocates strongly the organization of
new governmental department, that OF
commerce and industry, and the move
ment has the cordial approval of the
President-elect, who also believes that a
permanent tariff bureau should be at
tsched to the new department to deal with
the question of tariff reform, and so ulti-
mately take the question out of politics.
The formal accep eptance of Governor
John d. Long for the portfolio OF the
navy was received here tonight. It has
been known for two weeks that he was to
be in the Cabinet, but the exact place he

I ask you to nominate and elect
me as your Delegate to the State
Constitutional Convention. / do so
because many friends have requested
me to become a candidate, and [
hope to assist, if elected, in accom-
plishing some beneficial results in
the revision of our organic law.
I am in full accord with those
who wish to qualify suffrage, restrict
monopolies, revise our Judiciary sys-
tenn and provide for education of our
children to the full extent of our
abilities. These measures should be
fully discussed and matured, and I
trust and believe that the patriotism
and intelligence of toe State will
prove equal to the opportunity to
close this century of such wonderful
progress by the Inauguration Of a
Constitution which shall mark an
epoch in the history of Louisiana.
Submitting my name to your suf-
frage and hoping the best man may
win, I shall cheerfully accept your
