Chicago. Dec. 5.-The recommenda-

the resolution condemning the Grout

gave rise to spirited general debate
among the delegates at today's ses-

resolution was adopted, but over
good-sized minority. Colonel Simpson
made a brief plea for ship subsidies. A
resolution to admit Oklahoma to state
hood was adopted. Bills to be urged
upon congress to provide for the tag
ging of cloth goods to show it's exact
composition and to provide classified
assessment of cattle were approved.

framing of the bill providing for the
exchanging of public lands as mem
toned in Senator Warren's paper. The
minority report, referring the matter
to committee of five to report at the
next meeting, was adopted.
DR.. Senner was not present when his

crowded out of the program on Tues

of the conditions of that territory
