lowing the address of the permanent
chairman will come the report of the
committee that has framed the plat
form. At this stage Of the proceed
ings the convention will liven up
ana many interesting speeches and
debates may be looked for. These
speeches will probably prolons the
session, though the final adoption Of
the platform will mark the end OF
the second day of the convention.
Friday will be the big day of the
convention, the day to which all OF
the previous sessions and proceed
be the day on which candidates for
president and vice president will be
named. The candidates will be placed
in nomination, but few believe that
the convention will be able to mako
a selection before Saturday and prob
ably later. This ia the part OF the
game when heated debates and fiery
oratory are In order.
Roll Call By States.
The roll of states will be called
alphabetically, and each state will be
asked II 1t has a candidate to present.

able that no response will be made
until Delaware is reached, when the
leader Of the delegation from that
state will present the name of Judge
George Gray for the presidential
nomination. 1t Is probable that Illi-
nois, with it's 81 delegates. will be

though this fact Is not by any means
indicative Of his real strength in the
race.
With the selection Of the ticket
the national convention will adjourn
The national committee, however
will remain in the city to choose a
of the campaign; vice chairman. and
q secretary, who will be his assist
ants, and an executive committee,
who will act with him in an ad-
visory capacity. The selection of a
chairman will depend upon which
wing Of the party gains control of
the convention. The chairman will
naturally be one who is personally
acceptable to the presidential nomi-
nee. In any event, II Is stated def
nitely that ex-senator Jones, the fn-
cumbent. will retire and a new man
chosen for the place. Should Parker
be nominated IL Is rumored that
Thomas Taggart. the present national
committeeman from Indiana and a
practical politician Of recognized
ability. will be selected to head the
committee
After the new committee is made
up the chairman and his assistants
will proceed TO open headquarters for
the campaign. Headquarters will be
maintained IN New York. and the
western end of the campaign will
probably be directed from Chicago as
IN former years.
Several weeks after the convention
adjourns the committee on notifica-
tion viii wait on the presidential and
vice presidential candidates to for
mally notify them of their selection.
