The following, in substance, are II
resolutions which Senator Burton wi
submit TO the committee Of resolution
for Incorporation in the platform Of Ii
convention:
20 Protection and reciprocity-PrC
lection is a cardinal principle Of tn
Republican party. 1t has preserved I
Us our domestic trade. II has done MOI
than all else to develop our inGustrie
and to give 10 US our unparalleled pros
perity. Reciprocity also IS Repubiica
tenet of faith. but it must never be il
voked to the injury of protection. Reci
procity is the handmade of protection
and it should be our purpose TO establis
perfect harmony between them.
"(2)-Cuba - We congratulate Cub
upon the establishment of a republic Of
the ruins Of Z monarchy. It VIII eve
be a source OF pride to the people of thi
country that il was by the valor 0
American arms and the wisdom of Amer
lean craftsmanship that Cuba has beer
added TO the family Of nations. w
favor Just and equitable reciprocal rela
lions with Cuba, but in establishin;
and maintaining such relations grea
care must be exercised that the dement's
therefrom shall go TO the people of Cubs
and to the people of the United States
ence Of Congressman Long Of Kansas
ne submitted these resolutions to Pres
ident Roosevelt in the White House las
wednesday, and that the president ap-
proved them.
One Of the men about who most peo-
pie inquired last night al the Carey
hotel was Cyrus Leland. Uncle Cyrus,
as the boys call him, seems to have a
in m
side Of politics
The statesman from Troy was working
hard for Bailey but that was nothing
new for him. When Cryus Leland IS
for man he is for him with all his
might, and it is a saying among the
politicians that Mr.. Leland never be-
&rayed a political friend in his life one
peculiar thing about him is that he puts
in ell his time talking for his candidate
He never wastes any of his time talk
ing against the other fellow.
Mr.. Leland believes that Bailey Will
be the nominee of the convention for
governor and that his friends will or
ganize the convention. He was very
tired looking man last night when a re-
porter for the Eagle asked hirn> what he
thought about the outlook for the con-
vention. but there was an expression
on his face which clearly Indicated that
he thought the victory was already won.
This said he. 'in many respects is
going to be the greatest political conven-
ton ever assembled in the state of Kan
ses. I have never before seen 50 many
people on the ground two days before
the assembling of a state convention.
II think Bailey will be the choice Of
the convention without doubt. The very
fact that it was thought necessary to
form syndicate against him is an adj
mission that he is the strongest man
in the field. Every man is entitled to
support his choice for governor. but I
have never lost sight Of the interests of
the Republican party and that would
prevent my ever going into a syndicate
10 beat the strongest man, as is being
done here.
"A citizen Of your town now fills the Of
nce of governor Of this state and he has
given us a clean business administration.
Kansas is a great state and believe that
Mr. Bailey viii give US just as good an
administration as Governor Stanley has
given US. He is strong man and clean
man and just the kind Of a man we want
at the head of the Republican ticket for a
winner.
Bailey viii be nominated beyond doubt
and elected by an overwhelming majority
at the election next fall The choice of
the people cannot he beaten in convention
by political syndicate formed for selfish
the Republican party and no combina-
ton of the opponents of the Republican
party can beat him at the election in No
vember.
win Mr.. Bailey's friends be able to
organize the convention"
yes. they will organize the convention
and Cole viii be chairman"
Senator J. r. Burton arrived yesterday
afternoon from Washington TO attend
the Republican state convention. He
went directly to the Carey hotel. where
he was closeted with the leaders the
greater part Of the time. About 4 o'clock
yesterday afternoon he made the rounds
of the gubernatorial candidates, but ne
did not tell every delegate whom he met
what he thought about the situation.
The senator was dressed in the pink of
fashion He wore white vest on
which gold chain was prominently dis
played, and carried in his hand an ivory
headed cane.
To a reporter for the Eagle he said in
response 70 a question:
The Philippine bill win pass the senate
on Tuesday, June g. At least. that was
the understanding as te the date when
] left Washington. / think it will pass
substantially as reported, by a strict
party vote"
What about the Cuban reciprocity
bn?"
I think it is likely to pass the SEN
ate in some shape"
viii You vote for this bim?"
That depends upon the condition of
the bin when il comes to vote do not
oppose reciprocity with Cuba nor reci-
procity with France. nor reciprocity with
any other country. SO long as such reel
procity viii minister 10 protection.
am opposed To any kind OF reciprocity
hoe f.--
Reciprocal trade is 10 be desired but NOT /
at the sacrifice of home production.
think 1t very likely that a measure can |
be agreed upon that viii meet with the /
support of all Republican senator's at I
least 1 hope so"
DO you. then, favor the protection Of /
the beet sugar Industry
Certainly I mean that no kind Of re-
ciprocal relations must be established I
that would injure beet sugar"
Do you think the investigations OF
the Philippine war atrocities win be con
tinued?"
Yes"
DO You endorse the court-nartial pro
ceedings thus far?"
Yes
DO you think the. war atrocities nil,
affect the sentiment or tho American peo-
pie with regard to holding the Philip
pine islands,
do not think anything has been do
