Articles causes storm.
Boston. Oct. S.-An unexpected at
tempt to amend the platform presented
at the Republican state convention to-
day caused a sudden but very brief
storm. The proposition to amend was
overwhelmingly voted down. The ticket
nominated was as follows:
Governor, John l.. Bates, Boston; for
lieutenant governor, Gen. Curtis Guild,
Jr., Boston: secretary of state, w. M
DIN, Boston; treasurer, Edward S.
Bradford. Springfield for attorney gen.
eral, Herbert Parker, Lancaster.
The effort to change the resolution
was made by X-Representative w. M.
Fits of Somerville. who moved an
amendment TO the platform of a plank
for reciprocity with Canada and an
immediate revision of the tariff, SO
as to include free coal, free iron, free
steel and free hides.
Instantly a wave of excitement
swept the floor of the convention. Isaac
P. Allen wanted an amendment pro-
testing against the alleged ill-treat-
ment of negro voters of the South, but
this was lost sight of in the interest
aroused by the proposition of Mr..
Fits.
Senator Lodge, noting the tangle
which impended. averted further trou-
BILE by making a vigorous speech in
favor of the resolutions as reported by
the committee. The amendment was
overwhelmingly defeated.
The platform as adopted indorses
President Roosevelt for 1904. approves
Republican policies as to the Philip
pines, demands reciprocity with Cuba,
sustains the protective policy, but says
changes in the tariff should be made
when necessary. AS to trusts the
platform says they are the natural re-
suit of modern economic development.
and must submit to legal restraint If
they become peEnicious or tyrannical.
The platform approves the effort of the
President to end the coal strike.
