Roosevelt Sentiment.
The feature of the convention was
the strong Roosevelt sentiment.
In response to a general demand,
Congressman Long, one Of the lead
ers Of the fight in the house for Gu
ban reciprocity, made a speech, in
which he said:
"The Cuban reciprocity bill has
passed the house and will pass the. SEN
ate, or there will be an extra session
of congress. If there is an extra SEES
sion, my friends in the Seventh dis
trict must prepare to take care of my
campaign, for we will stay there I'M
til it has passed and President Roose-
welt, our leader now and our leader
in 1904"
He got no further, the convention
cheering and cheering again. Mr..
Long stood erect while the crowd
shouted and cheered. "Your hearts
are in the right place." he said finally.
"How about voices" asked one
delegate.
Kansas With Teddy.
Il told the president before l left
Washington that Kansas was with
him all the time, and I think he will
know it, AIS we do, now. President
Roosevelt is right because God made
him So"
Senator Burton, who has until re-
Gently opposed the presidents reci-
procity policy, told the convention
that reciprocity with Cuba was right
and necessary, but no home industry
should be injured. A bill is now being
formulated as a substitute for the
house bill, which substitute will be
satisfactory to all interests.
The convention, after ~effecting per
manent organization, transacted bust
ness with great alacrity, Mr.. Bailey

Platform PIanks.
I'VE indorse the recommendations
Of President Roosevelt that the Unit
ed States should enter into liberal
reciprocal relation with Cuba, and we
look to a republican congress to es'
tablish these relations.
"By the terms of the treaty with
Spain the Philippine islands became
the territory of the United States, and
this nation is bound by every consid-
GRAFTON OF honor and good faith, as
well as of self-interest, to assume the
responsibility which such ownership
entails.
W. heartily approve the admins
tration for the action it has taken to
suppress instruction and establish
the national authority in these islands
as well as the policy it has pursued
instituting civil government therein
as rapidly as possible, and with as
large a participation On the part o.
the people as can at this time be safe
ly and consistently permitted"
The nomination of President Roose
welt two years hence is predicted.
The convention adjourned at 11:4f
last night.
