and other voteless districts. Il was
disposed of through an amendment
to the rules offered by Representative
Bingham, chairman of the committee.
He proposed that the representation
hereafter should be two delegates
from Hawaii, but that the six dele
gates already seated should not be
disturbed. 1t was carried by vote
of 497 to 400.
The report of the committee on Gre
dentials interested the convention
only so far as it dealt with the Wis.
consin situation. Senator McComas
of Maryland, chairman of the COM
mittee, read a report of the investi-
cation of the contest He took the
delegates into the confidence Of the
committee and explained in detail
that a thorough canvass was made
into the merits of the contest, despite
the fact that the contestants had
withdrawn their claims on the ground
that fair treatment could be had. He
said the imputation was directed at
the convention itself, and though re-
scented deeply by the committee, the
inquiry was exhaustive and patient.
The report closed with a declaration
that the "stalwart" faction, led by
Senators Spooner and Quarles, Rep
sesentative Babcock and Judge Emil
Baensch, the four delegates-at-large
is the regular republican party in
Wisconsin. This national indorse.
ment of the faction headed by the two
United States senators from that state
evoked prolonged applause.
One of the remarkable features
concerning the adoption of the plat
form was the fact that it had been
the subject of administrative scrutiny

Chicago, June 24.-Theodore Roose-
welt was nominated for president of
the United States and Chas w. Fair
banks, of Indiana for vice-presidert
at the closing session Of the republi-
can national convention yesterday
afternoon.
The nominations in each case were
made by roll call of states, each state
being anxious to record its vote, and
came following a series of able and
eloquent addresses which aroused the
greatest enthusiasm among the dele
gates and spectators.
Although the program was cut and
dried, and everybody has known for
months that President Roosevelt
would be nominated, and for days
that Fairbanks would be his running
mate, the mention of Roosevelt's
name for the first time by Governor
Black in his nominating speech was
the signal for one of the widest dem
onstrations ever witnessed in re-
publican convention. For nearly half
an hour tae delegates cheered. sang

Chicago, June 24.-George B. Cor
telyou was chosen chairman of the re-
publican committee at a meeting held
yesterday just after the adjournment
of the convention.
In thanking the committee for the
honor he told the members that while
he would be glad to have the benefit
of their advice and counsel, he intend
ed to be chairman in fact and would
accept no dictation from anyone,
high or low. He told them that the
friends of the late chairman, Mr.. Han

the same measure of confidence and
support that had been given to the
last chairman. In conclusion he
sought the advice of both old and
new members.
Mr.. Cortelyou made no formal
statement of his plans. He resigned
as secretary of commerce and labor
as soon as he was elected chairman,

as his successor qualities, which will

our people has adapted the machinery
devised in the eighteenth to the con-
ditions Of the twentieth century by the
organization of national political par
ties. In them men join for the pro-
motion of a few cardinal principles
upon which they agree, The people
by their choice of candidates indi-
cate the principles and methods which
they wish followed in the conduct Of
their government.
When the course of the next admin
istration is but half done the Repub-
IiCan party will have completed the
first half century of it's national life.
With the platform and the candi-
dates of this convention we are about
to ask a renewed expression of pOpu-
lar confidence in the Republican party.
We shall ask it because the prin-
Ciples to which we declare our adher-
ence are right, and the best interests
of our country require that they
should be followed in it's. government.
We shall ask it because the I'M
broken record of the Republican party
in the past is an assurance of the
sincerity of our declarations and the
fidelity with which we shall give them
effect. Because we have been con-
slant in principle, loyal to our beliefs
and faithful to our promises, we are
entitled to be believed and trusted
now.
We shall ask it because the char
acter of the party gives assurance of
good government.

have in their membership men of
morality and patriotism, but We assert

At the opening day of the national
Republican convention at Chicago ad-
yanced the streets took on an appear

other convention headquarters. Party

wait for the hour Of assembly filed

Senator Lodge Of Massachusetts,
slated for the craftsmanship of the
committee on resolutions, decided to
appoint as members of the subcom-
nittee to draft the platform Senator
Spooner of Wisconsin and ]. w.
Blythe of Iowa.
The first applause to the incoming
delegates was ripple of handclaps
rom the gallery given to Senator ALI
son of Iowa. Senator Dolliver of Iowa
came strollipg down the center aisle
shortly after Senator Allison had TAX
en- his seat and the men in the gallery
from Iowa broke out into applause

Senator Allison acknowledged his
reception with a smile and a bow, but
he junior senator apparently did not
'ealiZe that he was being honored, for
lie turned his back upon his friends in
he gallery while they were still APP
plauding him, and walked slowly
back to the seats in the Iowa section.
The convention was called to order
oy Acting Chairman Henry c. Payne
Of the national committee. An elo-

The fourth Republican national con-
veution to be held in Chicago within
the last quarter of century has just
ended. 1t is twenty-four years from
the convention of 1880 to the conven-
ton of 1904.
Many of those most active in the
convention OF .weuty-four years ago
are dead. Others have retired from
political or public life. Yet there were
among the delegates who answered
to roll call a few who were conspicu-
Gus in the convention of 1880, and
more than a few who answered to
roll call in 1884 and 1888.
Powell Clayton, Henry Cabot Lodge,
Thomas G. Plat are among those who
were delegates in 1880. In that year
the delegates at large from New York
were Roscoe Conkling. ]. w. Hoys-

CAREER OF HON.

Charles Warren Fairbanks was
elected United States senator
from Indiana in 1897.
He is just past fifty-two, as he
was born May II, 1852, in Union
county, Ohio, where his father was
a poor farmer.
When IS years old, with Sal he
had saved and a suit of clothes,
he went to Delaware, ohio, and
entered the Ohio Wesleyan Uni
versity, from which he was grad
uated in 1872.
He read law at Pittsburg, Pa,
and Cleveland, Ohio.
When % years Of age he was
admitted to tie bar Of Ohio. Re.
moved to indianapolis, Indiana,
which has since been his home.
Hardly had he taken up his
habitation at indianapolis before
he was leader In his precinct,
then later in his ward, then his
city, and finally his state.
In 1892. he was chairman of the
Indiana state republican conven-
ton and delivered the address
which gave him national fame and
brought his the republican /,
dorsement for United States SEN
ator later.
He is Of commanding stature,

more just settlements been reached
by peaceful means? When has any
administration welded a more pow
erful influence for peace and when
have We rested more secure in friend
ship with all mankind?
Four years ago the regulation by
law of the great corporate combina
tions called trusts" stood substantial
ly where it was when the Sherman
antitrust act of 1890 was passed.
At every election, the regulation of
trusts had been the football of cam
paign oratory and the subject of many
insincere declarations. Our Republic
an administration has taken up the
subject in a practical, sensible way
as a business rather than a political
question, saying what it really means,
and doing what lay at its hand to
be done to accomplish effective regula-
ton.
After long consideration, Congress
passed three practical statutes: On
February Il, 1903, an act to expedite
hearings in suits IN enforcement of
the antitrust act; on February a.,
1903, the act creating a new Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor with a
Bureau Of Corporations, having au-
thority to secure systematic informa-
ton regarding the organization and
operation of corporations engaged in
interstate commerce; and on Febru-
airy 10, 1903, an act enlarging the pow
ers of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission and of the courts, to deal with
secret rebates in transportation
charges, which are the chief means
by which the trusts crush out their
smaller competitors.

and national interest for many weeks
and was accepted without dissent
ing vote.
In addition to the tariff plank and
other resolutions which always have
had prominent position in republi-
can platforms, there were Incorporate
ed several classes of striking interest.
One of these is plank looking to the
reduction of the representation of
certain southern states in the cleo
toral college and in congress. 1t is
built upon what is known as the
Payne resolution" offered eight
years ago, and the Quay resolution
offered years ago, but goes further
than either. The plank directs an
investigation to ascertain whether
there have been unconstitutional dis
Embellishments of voters in any state
and if so, demands a reduction of the
representation of such states in con-
gress, with the consequent reduction
in the electoral college and in ma
tional conventions.
