no oh nd avI-
Bolt as permanent secretary. Report
adopted.
Upon taking the chair Mr. Rohrbaugh
said that Kansas had a governor whose
patriotism and ability as an Executive
officer was unquestioned that his admin
istration has been one of business and not
a ripple of descant has resulted; that he
had often noticed that the opposition
papers never pointed to anything with
pride Along the line Of patriotism the
speaker diverted at length on the fact
that he would like to know what claim
the Democrats had to pose as a patriotic
party "Who called the stars and stripes
Old Glory?'" asked the speaker. "Why,
Lincoln, Grant, Garfield Mckinley and
Dewey when he sent the Spanish feet
to the bottom of the sea. When the ma
tives of Cuba were being oppressed Nc
Kinley sent troops over there to that lit
tie island and relieved the starving ones
and succored the dying. The admins
tration of Mckinley and the course he
has adopted in all the conditions that
confronted the nation during the past
four years is making William J. Bryan
sweat great drops of grief while at
tempting to railroad himself into the
White House with his little carpet bag
of anti-trusts and anti-imperialism."
The speaker attacked the sincerity of the
opposition in claiming credit for the
Declaration Of Independence.
. At the conclusion Of the chairman's re-
marks they were greeted with tumultu-
Gus applause and it was evident that the
delegates were intent on tearing shingles
OF Garfield han with outbursts Of enthu-
siasm.
Chairman Jewett Of the resolutions

were unanimously adopted.
