The convention was decidedly an admin
istration one in all its actions and speeches
No other sentiment than that of approval
was to be heard anywhere. Maj. Lacey
temporary chairman, sounded the keynote
and it was repeated with emphasis by Sena-
tor Allison in his speech as permanent
chairman.
The senator was looked upon as echoing
the sentiments of President Mckinley and
the Washington cabinet, and, believing
that, the delegates gave their approval and
Endorsement of the administrations policy.
There was some disappointment over the
failure to emphatically declare for the
holding and control of all conquered terr;
tory, but the delegates were thoroughly
convinced that what had been done was
practically the voice of the national gov
ernment. and SO were contented.
Before the convention district caucuses
We're held and members of the various COM
mittees selected. In the fourth district only
was there any serious rupture Here the
Blythe and Updegraff forces contested for
committeeman, the congressman losing at
every point.
MAJ. Lacey temporary chairman, was
given an ovation. His speech was well re-
ceived and punctuated with applause.
Senator AIIison's Speech.
In the afternoon Senator Allison was
chosen permanent chairman. There was
much cheering when the senator arose, the
demonstration exceeding that of any be-
fore The senator said in part:
Two years ago this fall we elected Hon,
William Mckinley as President Qong-con-
tinued applause). I have heard of no man
In this state who regrets that casting. The
affairs of this country of ours during these
two years have been managed by him and
his cabinet with a fidelity and with sin
gle purpose of patriotic efforts in way
to fully meet the appreciation of the Amer
lean people. We have seen what | have
never seen before in a long service in the
councils of my country, vote after vote
cast during the last session of Congress
giving the unanimous support of the rep
resentatves of the country to this great
and good man and his administration. We
have trusted the President and his advisers
We have trusted the Congress of the United
States in this emergency, and they have
met every requirement with patriotism
that should receive the thanks of the coun-
try. BY the protocol of August - a war
has been suspended, and the results of that
war in part achieved: and we have selected
through our great President the commits
sioners who are to deal with the remain
ing questions of the war. AS these ques-
tions have been dealt with in the past they
will be dealt with in the future-wise and
patriotic for the interests of the 70 600 OOO
people of this country"
Senator Allison concluded with a high
tribute to Gov. Shaw and the state admin
iStra ton.
