Representative Grosvenor, of Ohio, in
reply to the statement of Mr.. Quigg, the
New York member of the resolutions
committee of the Republican national
convention, denying certain allega-
tions Of Mr.. Grosvepor of mutilation
Of the Republican platform by Mr..

as follows:

Attend Rough Rider Convention

Chicago. June 26.-"There will be
polled no fewor than 900. 600 votes for
tho Prohibition national ticket this
fall. The vote four years ago was ap-
proximately 10000. a loss of nearly
100000 from the vote of 1892 This
loss was duo 10 the money issue raised
in the last campaign and will be re-
gained, with perhaps an increase this
year"
With the national Prohibition con-
vention one day distant, Chairman Oil
yer w. Stewart Of the national execu-
tive committee of the Prohibition
party. made the foregoing statement
last night. According 70 the same au-
thority the Prohibitionists in conven-
tion this year VIII leave the solution
OF economic problems. except those
which in their opinion can be solved by
the abolition OF the liquor traffic, TO the
other political parties.
From the reports from 80 states
which hrve held conventions the fol-
lowing digest of the platform was an
nornccd. An unequivocal demand for
the abolition of the liquor traffic in the
United States: a demand for the sup
preston of the army canteen; a plank
dealing with the expansion policy Of
the administration solely in respect to
the extension Of the liquor traffic to the
colonial possessions; a tariff plank de-
claring that it is more important that
the American workman should be pro-
tccted from the evils of the saloon
than from the competition of foreign
labor and goods; a declaration to the
effect that the trusts could not exist
without the saloon, through which
they arc able to corrupt the vote of
tho people; referring the question Of
woman suffrage back TO the various
states. on the ground that the qNes-
tion is one for determination by
states individually.

Gov. Roosevelt Received With Pro-
IOnged Cheers.
Address by President
Stone.
The Mckinley Administra ton
Endorsed.

St. Paul, Mimi. July 17.-When Col.
George Stone OF California, president OF
the National League of Republican clubs,
called to order the twelfth convention OF
the league in the Auditorium shortly af-
ter ten o'clock this morning not more
than three delegates were present. In a
short time, however, the empty chairs
were filed. Rev. DIR. S. G. Smith of St.
Paul, offered prayer.
Secretary Stone read the call for the
twelfth annual convention. On the roll
call of states about half the number re-
sponded. Welcoming addresses were made
by city officials. Then Governor Roose-
welt, escorted by Former President Wood
mansee, appeared on the platform and
the delegates were on their feet for the
first time thoroughly walked up.
Governor Roosevelt was then intro
duced by President Stone and was re-
ceived with prolonged cheers. He spoke
briefly saying: 81 thank you very much
for your greeting. I shall not try to
speak to you because 1 ann to have that
pleasure and honor this evening. All I
shall do now is to say to you how glad /
am to see you here, to thank you for hay

is now opening, because, when I wish

must not endure wrong from others We
must strive with earnest good faith to So
cure the steady betterment of the pop ula-
tions over which we have assumed con-
troll. We must show. ourselves anxious
to work IN spirit of frank and open
friendship with other civilized nations.
But we must no more shrink from intro
ducing orderly liberty and just and
stable government in the islands to which
our new duty has called us than we
shrunk in the past from the various kinds
of expansions which carried up from
Florida and New Mexico to Alaska.
This election is more important than
any that this country has seen save only
the election Of ga and we hav
the right to appeal to every man worthy
to call himself good citizen, that he
shall stand by us in this contest for up
right and honest legislation and admins
tration at home, and abroad for the up-
holding of the flag and the great privilege
of doing the worlds work as beseens q
great world proper. Study the Kansas
City platform and you cannot help real
ling that their policy is the policy of
tnfamy, that their triumph would mean
misery SO widespread that it is almost
unthinkable and a disgrace so lasting
that more than generation would have
to pass before it could be wiped out.
They stand for lawlessnes and disorder
for dishonesty and dishOnor, for license
shrinking from duty abroad. We ask the
support of all Americans who have the
welfare Of the country at heart, no matter
what their political affiliations may have
been in the past. WI ask the support of
all sound headed men who do not wish
to see our material ll-being swallowed
up in the abyss of Industrial panic. We
appeal TO all good men who believe in
civic decency and shrink from the faint
of financial dishonor, and we appeal to
all brave men who are proud of the
national name and reputation, and ask
them to see to it that we are not humili-
ated before mankind, and that we do not
abandon the position we have taken IN
the forefront OF the great nations Of the
earth.
Gov. Roosevelt concluded his peroration
at $50 0 clock when the aud Hence arose
en- masss and over 5000 voices shook the
air for about five minutes. The Governor
at 1925 was flying eastward on his jour-
ney home.

Issues of the coming campaign.
Retiring President Stone then adj
dressed the convention. He said:
Upon retiring from the presidency oil
the National Republican League, CRATE
fully acknowledge the many courtesies
shown me by the members during my
term of office. That period viii always
have place amongst the pleasantest
memories of my life. At no time since
1896 has the league been in such good
condition for effective work as at the
present; old clubs are being reorganized
and new ones formed and never in the
history of the National League has there
been a brighter prospect for its useful
ness in national politics.

year in Arkansas, California, Colorado,

and in Indian Territory.
''When the present national officers
were chosen they found many Of the state
leagues in bad condition and some out of
business; our efforts have been directed
toward improving these conditions and
in most cases with satisfactory results.
''In the states of West Virginia, Mon
tana, Utah, Washington, Louisiana and
South Carolina, the leagues have been or
ganized and we hope soon to see the Wis
consin league again in the front rank.
The greatest activity has been in the
western states, which in 1896 went for
Bryan, and the league movement has as
sumed such proportions as to justify the
hope that these states win return to the
Republican fold.''
A resolution, which was adopted unan-
imously, was presented by Hayes Of Ohio,
endorsing the wise and patriotic admin
istration of President Mckinley and
heartily approving the character and
principles of that gallant rough rider,
Theodore Roosevelt"
BStanding committees of the league were
appointed and the convention adjourned
to ten a. M, tomorrow.
After appearing before the league con-
ventton and speaking briefly, Governor
Roosevelt was driven to the Commercial
club, where he was rendered an informal
reception and luncheon. This afternoon
q public reception was held at the hotel.
