interest for many weeks, and it was ac-
cepted without a dissenting vote.
In addition to the tariff plank and
other resolutions, which always have
had a prominent position in Repub-
hcan platforms, there were incorpo-
rated several clauses of interest. One
of these is plank looking to the re-
duction, of the representation of Ger
tain Southern states in the electoral
college and in congress. 1t is built on
what is known as the Payne resolu-
ton" offered eight years ago, and the
Quay resolution, offered four years ago.
but goes further than either The plank
directs an investigation to ascertain
whether there have been unconstitu-
tional disfranchisements of voters in
any state, and, If so, demands a reduce,
ton of the representation of such
states in congress, with the consequent
reduction in the electoral college and
in national conventions.
The full significance Of pledges for
the continuance of the provisions of
the Chinese exclusion act and for the
furtherance of all legitimate efforts to
obtain for American citizens abroad

ciated when read to the convention.

CONTEST OVER THE
HAWAIIAN DELEGATES

Live party enthusiasm aroused by
the hearty reception given to Uncle
Joe" Cannon spread even to routine
business and eliminated in a contest
over the number of delegates to which
Hawaii was entitled. The conflict was
the first, and will doubtless be the last
on the floor of the convention.
The report of the committee on rules
accredited two delegates to Hawaii.
Senator Foraker offered an amend
ment increasing the number to six
delegates. The opposition came from
supporters of a movement to limit the
representation of territories and other
voteless districts. 1t was disposed of
through an amendment to the rules Of
fered by Representative Bingham,
chairman of the committee. He pro-
posed that the representation hereafter
should be two delegates from Hawaii,
but that the six delegates already
seated should not be disturbed. 1t was
carried, 497 to 400.
The report of the committee on
credentials interested the convention
only SO far as it dealt with the Wis
consin situation. Senator McComas, of
Maryland, chairman of the committee,

CANNON EFFECTS A

CHICAGO, June 22-The- proceed

yention, with Joseph G. Cannon in the
chair, today took on picturesqueness
and demonstrativeness which yester-
day were lacking.
From the moment Speaker Cannon
was escorted to the platform to WELD

entire atmosphere of the convention
changed. Enthusiasm which had lain
dormant burst forth. He made a speech
and the audience cheefed whether he
spoke jocularly or in serious vein. He
was the entertainer; in fact, he was
the convention.
From the standpoint of political i'm
pertance the adoption of the party

Cannon had been selected for perma-

voked enthusiastic applause, The re-
port was adopted.
Speaker Cannon was escorted to the
chair and made his speech.
The report of the committee on rules
was presented by Gen. Bingham, of
Pennsylvania. Gen. Bingham stated
that the committee had adopted the
rules Of the F7ifty-eighth congress
when not inconsistent with the rules Of
the convention.

Senator Foraker, of Ohio, offered
the following amendment:
Resolved, That the report Of the
committee on rules be amended so as
to allow six delegates from Hawaii
with six votes in conformity with her
sister territories of Arizona, New Mex
leo, Oklahoma, Indian territory and
Alaska.
Gov. Carter, of Hawaii, defended his
delegation.

Senator Hopkins opposed the amend

/ favor.
It was was now too late, he said, to
say that this change was making a
| precedent. Hawaii was territory;
| the other territories had six delegates,
and Hawaii was as justly entitled to
| six delegates as the other territories.
Representative Babcock, stated as
! a member of the committee on rules,
! that all six of the Hawaiian delegates

treated in like manner.
Given Two Delegates
After further discussion Mr.. Bling

PLATFORM STANDS
PAT VERY HARD
Says Only Republicans Should
Revise Tariff and Merely
Hints at Reciprocity

CHICAGO, June 22.-The platforms
adopted by the Republican national
convention is as follows:
Fifty years ago the Republican party
came into existence dedicated among
other purposes to the great task OF ar
resting the extension of human slavery.
In 1850 it elected its first president Dur
ing twentyfour of the forty-four years
which have elapsed since the election OF
Lincoln the Republican party has held
complete control of the government. For
eighteen more of the forty-four years IL
has held partial control through the pos
session of one or two branches OF the
government, while the Democratic party
during the same period has had complete
control for only two years. This long
tenure of power by the Republican party
is not due to chance. 1t is demonstra-
ton that the Republican party has COM
manded the confidence of the American
people for nearly two generations to a
degree never equaled in our history, and
has displayed a high capacity for rule and
government which has been made even
more conspicuous by the incapaeity and
| infirmity of purpose shown by its OPP
pOnentS.
The Republican party entered upon its
present period of complete supremacy in
1897. We have every right to congratu-
late ourselves upon the work since then
accomplished, for it has added luster even
| to the traditions of the party which car
ried the government through the storms
of Civil war. We then found the country
after four years of Democratic rule in
evil plight, oppressed with misfortune and
doubtful of the future. Public credit had
been lowered the revenues were declin-
ing, the debt was growing, the admin
istfationS attitude toward Spain was
feeble and Notifying, the standard of
values was threatened and uncertain,
labor was unemployed, business was sunk
in the depression which had succeeded
the panics of 1893, hope was faint and
confidence was gone.
We met these unhappy conditions Wig
orously effectively and at once.

Of something. Well then, it is absolutely
necessary to have a strike that there
should be a profit. How many strikes
were there under Cleveland when the
Democrats had the running of things?
When money became scarce the profits
were scarce. There is the whole story.
Yes, there is law breaking and disaster.
Law breaking in the form Of trusts, law
breaking at times in the ordering OF
unions TO strike. The majority OF the
people who own wealth are not for the
trusts, and the great body of honest men
who live by the sweat of their faces are
not for law breaking in the strikes. All
must obey under Theodore Roosevelt. as
the national representative Of the law
Speaking to the living in the presence
of the dead we have tears for them and
admiration for the great thing that they
accomplish, but the glory OF our race. OF
our civilization is that each generation
works out its own salvation and marches
forward to success and the betterment
of the condition & mankind. and as they
drop into the grave their successors nova
on to the stage OF action holding fast all
that the past has given US and going in
turn q generations march further on for
the Benefit OF the race and of civilza-
ton.
