Chicago. June 23.-The platform
adopted by the republican national
convention 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 1860 II elected its first president. Dur
ing "a of the "A years which have elapsed
since the election of Lincoln the repub-
lican party has held complete control Of
the government. For Is more Of the "A
years It has held partial control through
the possession of one or two branches
Of the government. while the democratic

VI 4Jl 10 4JU.
The report Of the committee on Gre
dentials interested the convention only
so far as 1t dealt with the Wisconsin
situation. Senator McComas, Of Mary
land, chairman of the committee, read
a report from the investigation Of the
contest. He took the delegates into
the confidence of the committee and
explained in detail that thorough
canvas was made into the merits of the
contest, despite the fact that the con-
testants had withdrawn their claims on
the ground that fair treatment could
not be had. He said the imputation
was directed at the convention itself
and though resented deeply by the
committee the inquiry was exhaustive
and patient. The report closed with
declaration that the ''stalwart" fac
ton, led by Senators Spooner and
Quarles, Representative Babcock and
Judge Emil Baensch, the four dele
gates-at-large, is the regular republican
party in Wisconsin. This national in
dirsement of the faction headed by
the two United States senators from
that state evoked prolonged applause.
One of the remarkable features con-
corning the adoption Of the platform
was the fact that 1t has been the sub
ject Of administrative scrutiny and ma
tional interest for many weeks and
was accepted without dissenting
vote

Chicago, June 23.-Because Speaker
Joseph G. Cannon was the central fig
ure the proceedings Of the republican
national convention took on pictur-
esqueness and demonstrativeness which
Tuesday was, looked for in vain.
From the moment he was escorted to
the platform to WELD the gavel as the
permanent chairman the entire atmos-
phere Of the convention changed. En-
thusiasm which had lain dormant
burst forth and the applause rang true
and hearty. He made a speech and the
audience cheered as he spoke jocularly
or in serious vain. He was the enter
tainer-in fact, he was the conven-
ton. e.
Live party enthusiasm aroused by
the hearty reception given Uncle Joe"
Cannon, as he is known from coast to
coast, spread even to the routine busi-
ness and eliminated In a contest over
the number Of delegates to which Ha-
wall was entitled. The conflict was the
first and will doubtless be the last on
the floor of the convention. The re-
port Of the committee on rules ac-
credited two delegates to Hawaii. Sen
ator Foraker offered an amendment in
creasing the number to six delegates.
Representative Bingham, chairman Of
the committee, proposed that the rep
hereafter should be two
delegates from Hawaii but that the six
delegates already seated should not
be disturbed. II was carried by vote

OF. LOUIS, MO-, Aug. o'-Tne
Indian Territory is an integral
part of the great Louisiana Pur-
chase. 1t is the only remaining
portion of the vast domain ceded
by France more than 100 years
ago, that remains today without
a territorial or state form of gov
ernment. Though situated in the
very center of the great south
west and surrounded by prosper
Gus and thriving commemorative
because of the environments, the
territory has remained in some
respects an undeveloped section
to this day. 1t is believed that
within the confines of the Indian
Territory there lies a greater area
of tillable soil, proportionately,
than in any of the southwestern
states. 1t is known that the
undeveloped mineral resources
of the territory are immense and
no brighter outlook for vast ma
terial development was ever pre-
sented by any section of Amer
lea than the territory now offers
The work of disintegration and

CSKgsessU appropriated the sum
of S25, 900 for an Indian Territory
building and exhibit at the great
Universal Exposition now being
held in st. Louis. The inhabit-
ants of the Indian Territory
raised, by popular subscription,
an additional $25, 900, and fund
of $4,000 is now being expended
for this purpose, and for the first
time the Indian Territory is being
represented at a universal expo
sition.
The Indian Territory pavilion
at the exposition is located on a
beautiful site in the plateau of
states, near the southeast en-
trance 10 the grounds. The
building is a two story colonial
structure, 109x72 feet. The first
floor contains, besides the large
lobby room, two EXHIBIT rooms. |
IN one of these rooms are dis
played the art and educational
the other the photo
graphic exhibit.
These two exhibits-one setting |
forth the artistic, the other the |
development of the
residents of the Indian Territory
go far toward dispelling the
somewhat prevalent idea that the
Indian Territory is a Wilderness"
where progress, social and other
wise, is unknown.
In the art and educational
room are displayed many beau
5iful paintings, studies, laces,
inc needle and bead work, and

OF the 100 wild flowers of the In. .

The second floor of the terri.
tory building contains large re-
ception hall, ladies' parlor and
resting rooms and the offices of
F. G. Hubbard, the executive
commissioners. An especially at
tractive feature about the terri
tory pavilion is the large stair
landing and the five big win
dows-two transparencies being
set in each and representing
scenes from the territory. The
entire building is handsomely
furnished and besides being a
home for Indian Territory visit
ors and friends, it is the scene of
many social functions.
The Indian Territory is also
represented in three of the main
exhibit palaces of the exposition,
maintaining booths in the Palace
OF Mines and Metallurgy, the
Palace Of Horticulture and the
Palace Of Agriculture.
The coal fields of the In ,lian
Territory-especially in the Choc-
taw nation-have fer years been
operated successfully, and with
in the past two years the devel-
opment OF the coal industry has
been immense. The finest grade,
OF bituminous coal found in the
west are from the Choctaw ma.
ton, and the supply seems rrac.
tically inexhaust bic Petroleum
is also found in many parts of
the Indi IN Territory. This in
dustry, though new, is develop
ing into gigantic prop ortions.
Hundreds of wells are going
down in both the Bartletsville
and Muskogee fields, and the
majority of these already brought
in have proved to be good pro-
ducers. The crude oil in the
Bartletsville field grades about
the same as the Kansas oil, but
the grade of the Muskogee field
is somewhat better. Railroads,
pipe lines and refneries are be-
ing built for handling this pro.
duct, which promises to be in
such abundant supply. In the
Indian Territory booth in the
Mines and Metallurgy building
are shown many samples of In
dian Territory coal and oils. Be-
-ides the four large cubes of the
four separate grades of bitumin-
ous coal found in the territory
there are arranged cases of the
finest samples of egg coal, nut
coal, pea coal and pyramids Of
coal and coke are erected. Sarn-
pies of oil from twenty seven
lowing wells, together with SAM
pies of the oil sand, are arranged
IN glass and form the back
ground of the booth. Cubes of
Jhickasaw granite and the
Cherokee marble and many
blocks of building stone, filtering
