Boston, Oct with every plan ma
tured for quickly and harmoniously COM
pletng their work, the delegates to the
republican state convention assembled in
the Boston theater today to nominate a
ticket to be voted for in November
Ex-Secrctary of the Navy John u. Long
was chosen permanent chairman. In as
s''ming the position, he spoke of the hard
times during the last democratic admin
istfation and OF the prosperity that fol-
lowed the election Of Mckinley as prcsi-
dent. which he said, was the direct re-
suit OF the policies and principles OF the
republican party"
lie paid brief but eloquent tribute TO
the memory of President Mckinley and
passed on 10 a review of President Roose-
velts administration, beginning with a
glowing culogy OF the president and com
mending the members of the cabinet i'm
the administration OF their various dcpart-
ments, and saying he was sure there was
no demand for change In searching
for an issue, he declared that PROSPERITY
was never greater. the civi service never
cleaner, and as for finance that question
was settled six years ago.
The tariif, too, was a settled question.
Roosevelt viii See to It.
Continuing. the speaker said rs il
the issue OF trusts2 Then point il YOU
can, to more earnest honest and unccas-
ing effort than that Of the administration
of President Roosevelt to deal with this
question. II the outcry against the
trusts means an attack upon aggregations
OF capital, then it is an unreasonable out
cry, because 1t is not possible TO ae-
complish the great works and enterprises
OF the present time in the interest of the
people at large, except by accumulated
capital, Just as II il necessary also to ac-
cnnulate labor, and both have similar
rights and responsibilities in this respect.
II the ontcry Is against those inonopo-
lies and combinations, the object Of which
IS to grind the people and work ruin to
thclr daily fortunes, that outcry is right and
the monster should be throltled, and it is
the republican party which is today solicit
onsly and actively making every prepara-
ton to deal with these evils, as it has dealt
with all otheiN
as the issue our colonial system? Is II
Imperialism 1t might have been six
months ago, but Imperialism is now past
history"
Our Duty and Our Destiny
II was our duty to take the Philip
pines and to restore law and order IN
them. II is our duty to raise them TO the
ability OF government, and then il
they all prefer independence, to give il to
them, although the question OF their in
dependence is and must be an academic
one, not only at present, but in view Of
their future for time to come.
The delivery or cx-Secretary Longs
speech was frequently interrupted by the
plaudits Of the delegates. Especially was
this the case at the close of the speakers
eulogy of President Mckinley and his
praise OF President Roosevelt.

Bates, present lieutenant governor for
