ER, THE republican state convention
was fairly launched today in its tempor-
ary organization. 1t is the largest, most
harmonious and enthusiastic gathering OF
the kind ever assembled in the state.
Promptly at 1890 the delegates march
ed in body to the Columbia Opera
house, where, when hardly seated, the
orchestra began discoursing patriotic
music, filling the delegates with enthusi-
asm; when the orchestra began plaviug,
"Star Spangled Banner," their enthusi
asm knew no bonds, delegates mounting
chairs and cheering long and londly.
At II O'Clock a. M Chairman Morrison
appeared on the platform and called the
convention to order. His appearance
was the signal for another outburst of
enthusiasm, punctuated with cries of
"Morrison," Morrison. Members of
the state central committee were called

they were seated Senator Shoup APP
peared. He was greeted with ali ova-
ton the delegates standing, wav-
ing coun banners and otherwise
showing their appreciation the senator.
After quiet had been restored Chairman
morrison delivered All eloquent and
strong address, touching briefly the is
snes of the campaign.
The fact that Morrison is practically
Icenceded to be the nominee for congress
gave additional interest to his address.
The committee reported Hepburn for
temporary chairman and Turner of Bing-
ham county, temporary secretary, which
report was adopted.
Hepburn, upon taking the chair, deliver

Urge the government to send adequate
