Mr.. DAWES WAS
CHOSEN CHAIRMAN
Setback for the Tanner-Henev Fac
ton in the Illinois Republican
Conyention-His Speech.

CONVENTION HALL. PEORIA. ILL,
May S.-The initial contest in the Repub-
lcan State Convention to-day proved a de-
feat for the Tanner-Heney faction. The
fight came at the very outset of the con-
vention on the election of temporary
chairman The State Central Committee
mad chosen John ]. Brown, OF Vanda!ia,
Tanner man. The Cui!om-Reeves-Cart
combination executed a master-stroke by
naming Charles G. Dawes Comptroller OF
the Currency.
On account of the close Identification of
Mr.. Dawes with the national admintstra-
ton. the effect was 10 give the opposition
10 the TannerHeney faction a setback.
Dawes was chosen temporary chairman.
Mr. Dawes said he believed people are
not opposed 10 any corporation simply be-
cause it is large. But when by combina-
tion," ne continued, IAN unreasonable level
of prices maintained. the people demand
and will secure governmental interference
and reg!la ton. "
THE difference between the two great
political ,parties, il any, will be as to the
nature OF the remedy and not in the de-
sire TO find it or enforce it. On this ques-
ton the Republican party must and will
stand with the people.
Discussing other issues. he said:
In Inc coming campaign tls fSSffuoAiSdU
party will maintain that the Philippine
Islands which nave come 20 US as a direct
result OF the Spanish war and its settle
rnents, which have been retained for US
through the heroism of our soldiers, shall
not now be abandoned, nor our soldiers be
withdrawn from them
The new State Central Committee and
the committee on resolutions were an
,nounced.
The evening session lasted only about
half an hour the convention adjourniug
to 10 O'Clock tomorrow morning.
The opposition of the opponents of
Heney, without exception, declare that
the results of to-day's fight greatly weak
ems his support and fore tokens his defeat
Tomorrow. The Heney supporters are
still claiming upward of 100 votes for him
on the first ballot
Regarding the significance of election of
Dawes, Governor Tanner said this eve
ming:
Il do not think that the vote this morn
ing means instruction for Culiom. though
1t means that the national administration
has subverted the convention to its own
ends thtnk that Heney has enough
votes to nominate him.

The whereabouts of the British Cav

mystery, while General Kelly-Kenny's and
General Chermside's divisions are also un-

miles from their objective, while the latest
advices from Mafeking itself. dated April

They related a tale of great suffering
and hardship. Moore and the fourteen
men with him managed to get into boat
after the stranding of the vessel, but
were unable to make shore on account Of
the high wind from the land, and were
driven out into the open sea. The Ell
