THE PLATFORM AS IT
 WAS FIRST REPORTED
Resolutions Endorsing President Roosevelt's Administration Were Re-
 ported-Matter Will Be Taken Up.

The platform and resolutions of the republican party of Alabama will be adopted today. At yesterdays meeting the committee on platform and resolu- tions submitted it's report. Objections were made to this report, and those men who objected submitted a substitute mo- ticn when the time to adopt something was reached.
 Just at that time, however when 1t seemed the party would be divided and some bitter remarks made, the conven- ton adjourned until this morning at o'clock.
 The report of the committee which among other things endorses President Roosevelts administration is as follows:

This establishment now expends $4O,OO0 annually. which will be doubled the en- suing year.
 Several special trains are to arrive in Birmingham Thursday morning which will bring 5000 delegates. of which at least 100 will be foreign missionaries, principally from South America, West Indies and Africa.

 The local Baptists have made special arrangements to entertain this large gathering of delegates and missionaries. Every Baptist in the city will be as- signed to care for so many delegates and the remainder will be lodged in boarding houses and fed in restaurants, as 1t is a strong desire of the local Baptists to make their visit one of comfort and pleasure

gress in discussing the civil government bill for the relief of the Philippines. Tn this discussion abuse had been heaped upon the American soldier in the isl- ands. the democratic leaders seeking to create the Impression that the republi- can party was responsible for the alleged misconduct of the soldiers who have been endeavoring to restore law and order.
 An amendment had been offered to the urgent deficiency bill to pay fifty millions to erect hospitals in the islands for our soldiers. but although this was non-po- litical 1t had been opposed by the ma jority Of the democratic members.
 The democrats were not safe advisers. He referred to their silver and other im- practical ideas.
 Concluding he said:
 T congratulate the people of the state of Alabama upon the fact that there Is at last a disposition on the part of the business men of the state to give aid and encoura cement to those who believe in the principles of republicanism While the policies of the republican party are bSiAtAOiaA tO ONSAJ 6OCtiOh OA tiiC SOutNA 38 ct the same time the people of the south are more vitally interested in the suc- cess of OUT party than the citizens of any other section of the country The repub- lican party has enacted legislation by which an isthmian canal will certainly be constructed; it has maraged by dip lomatic negotiation enabled us to extend ottr 1o f,,4A -o11-v F,,. nlshing ready market for cotton. the chief product grown south of Mason and Dixon's line. It stands pledged to the enactment of a ship subsidy bill, which in my opinion will do more to assist us in finding a market for our surplus pro- ducts than any one measure which has been prop osed within the rast quarter of century
 "The position which the democratic party occupies with respect to the vari- ous questions that have been recently brought before congress. wherein the people of the south are directly inter- ested, Is such as to warrant me in the assertion that 1t is the duty of every southern man who loves his section and ueSlFeS lne ueVeiOpnenl or US uISurpdSS- ed resources to sustain the republicans of the nation in its advocacy of those poli- cies which will ultimately make the south the richest and fairest spot on the face of the earth"

SEN.J.C.PR|TCHARD ON PRINCIPLES
 OF PARTY

LITER 9 session intermingled A with speeches, reports of com
 mittees and nominations of officers, lasting from 12:45 o'clock un- til 7:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon, the members of the state convention of the republican party adjourned to meet again this morning at o'clock. The adjournment was taken just at point when the question of a platform was being discussed and over which 1t seemed ae if there would be stren- uous fight.
 The convention yesterday was one of the most enthusiastic meetings ever held in Birmingham. About 300 delegates and alternates were present and took part in the deliberations of the day. Of all this number not man was a negro. Not a negro was even admitted to the gallery.
 At 12:45 o'clock the temporary presiding officer James Bowron, was introduced to the members of the committee by Will liam Vaughan, who stated that the day was the gladdest of his life, the bright est in the history of the republican party in Alabama, and the saddest In the his- tory of the democratic party.
 MIR. BoWRoN SPEAKS.
 MT. Bowron followed in a speech of over an hour In which the full history of the party and it's principles were re- viewed at length. He stated that he had oef h faf xr-fth he fxr because of the fact that 1t stood for busi- ness advancement and business prin- ciples. He said he thought, that now the prospects for the party were brighter than ever in its past, so far as Alabama was concerned.
 At the conclusion of this speech, Dr. ]. w. Hughes moved that a committee escort Senator J. c. Pritchard of North Carolina to the hall. On this committee were the names of Dr. J. w. Hughes, T. H. Aldrich. w I. Wellman. Julian H. Bingham and William Vaughan.
 While these gentlemen were gone for Senator Pritchard, Charles Alexander of Attaila moved that committee on ere dentials be named by the delegates al- lowing one man from each congressional district to be named by the delegates from that district. In opposition to this motion J. B. Montgomery spoke and moved that the chairman appoint one man from each district. While he was still on the floor Senator Pritchard en- tered the hall. He was greeted by pro- longed applause. Dr. J. w. Hughes in- troduced him to the convention and he spoke partly as follows:

EphemeraI Project.

A project not based on the eternal prin- ciples of right and justice will be but ephemeral, and our friends will speedily realize who have given their energies and time to this outrageous movement, that they acted with neither wisdom, judg- ment nor statesmanship; and when the forty thousand negroes under the perma- nent suffrage plan of the new constitu- tion become qualified voters next year, these deserters will upbraid themselves unmercifully for their bigotry. stpidity and base ingratitude for trying such a cowardly experiment.
 In the name of justice, humanity and republcanism, we enter our vigorous protest against the shameful proceeding and high-handed outrage

At the request Of Chief Of Police
O'Neill a boxing bout in which Joe
Cans was to be one Of the principals
and which was scheduled To be held at
, the Chicago Athletic association in the
near future has been called of.
Cans and his manager, AL HEREFORD,
have been unpopular and under sus-
piclon by the Chicago public ever since
the so-called fake" fight between Cans
and MoGOyern az Tattersalrs. This
flasco caused boxing on a large scale to
be stopped In Chicago, and Chief
O'Neill APPARENTLY does not care to run
the chance of another questionable at

vate institution. the authorities readily
accepted the chiefs suggestions, and in
the future 1t Is probable that Cans will
be given no further opportunity to
show himself TO the Chicago public.
