NEW JERSEY REPUBLICANS.
Their State Convention was an En-.
thusiastic Affair.


Trenton, N. j.. May 1.-THE re-
publican state convention which was
held here Tuesday for the purpose of
electing delegates to the national con-
vention to be held In Chicago was un-
usually enthusiastic, considering the
fact that there were no contests of i'm
portance.
The only hitch in the program for
the election of delegates at large was
an unexpected objection to the unani-
nous election of the four men who
had been named for the honor. The
four men were Gov. Franklin Murphy
United States Senators Kean and
Dryden and State Assessor David
Baird, Of Camden. William Rowland
of North Plainneld, objected to Mr.
Baird. In behalf Of his county. Somer-
set. but on the roll call Gov. Murphy
and Senators Kean and Dryden re.
ceived every one Of the 920 votes OF
the convention and Mr.. Baird received
all the votes except six Of the II
votes that were cast by Somerset.
The platform adopted by the con.
vention was q strong endorsement o,
the republican national and state ad.
mfnistrations and indirectly favored
the nomination of President Roosevelt
to succeed himself. although In keep
Ing with the policy that has always
prevailed in this state, the delegates
were not instructed.
