NOMINATION OF
FAIRBANKS ASSURED

The Fairbanks boom for the vice
presidency flourished unrestricted dur
ing the convention proceedings. It's
impulse was gained when the Indiana
delegation entered the Coliseum, and,
led w Senators Fairbanks and Bev-
eridge, proceeded down the aisle to
their seats near the stage. The greet
ing given to Senator Fairbanks was
greater than was received by any Of
his distinguished colleagues. Today's
proceedings afforded no opportunity
for the advancement of other candi-
dacies. No mention was made of the
names of favorite sons, whose ambi-
tons are not taken seriously beyond
the boundaries of their own states. The
applause for Senator Fairbanks ap-
peared to be general.
The placidity of political opponents,
as they sat in the convention hall,
welded into a substantial party citizen
ship, unanimously agreed on principles.
differing only on non essentials. was
one of the features of the convention.
The New York delegation, which oc-
cupied one of the positions of honor
directly in front of the platform, fur
nished good example of the prevail
ing harmony. On the opposite side of
the center aisle, in equal command of
the platform, was the Illinois deIega-
ton, which had bitter fight within
It's ranks as late as yesterday Today,
II any soreness remained, to all out
ward appearances it had been healed.
State pride figured strongly in the
convention. Each state had its friends
in the galleries, whence showered
plaudIts on the great men as they en-
tered the Coliseum. The floor filed
with delegates so rapidly that many
prominent figures slipped in unnoticed.

division. Undoubtedly the convention
viii be held at st. Paul 1t was so I'M
derstoOd by the committee.
There was a brief discussion over
the apportionment of delegates for the
convention. F. E. Minnette, of SteaYns,
moved that the basis of representation
be the presidential vote of 1900 J. G.
Arenson, of Saltwater, amended to
base the apportionment on the vote
for governor two years ago. F. A.
Day spoke against the amendment, de-
claring that in this year with prob
ability of a split in the Republican
party, Democrats should give every
encouragement to the voters to par
ticipate in the election machinery.
Day Wants Big Convention
He wanted a big. convention, and
this would be given by using the pres
idential vote. He wanted lots of en-.
thusiasm; and since Day is regarded
as a gubernatorial possibility, his
speech was regarded as somewhat sig
nificant. It was loudly applauded by
his fellow committeeman. The effect
of his remarks was to defeat the Aren-
son amendment, and the adoption of
the Minnette resolution. It will result
in convention of 1909 delegates.
The county conventions will be held
Monday, Aug. %. On motion of L. A.
RoSlng the call Tor the state cOnVen-
ton will include a call for the recon-
mendation of county committeeman in
counties where this was not done at
the conventions of June IL.
The only division in the committee
came on the procedure in adjourning
the convention tomorrow from IL
o'clock until 2:30. E. l.. Iceberg, of
Montevideo, moved to ratify the ac-
ton of the chair in adjourning the
convention. Ed Stevens, of Minneapo-
lis, who had Elijah Bartons proxy, sec
onded the motion. T.. d. O'Brien
amended the motion to the effect that

while recognizing the worth of the
present tariff law, declared that no
schedule was sacredly or necessarily
permanent. Senator Lodge is under
stood TO be the author OF this plank
and the fact that he will be chairman
OF the committee on resolutions gives
color to the contention that he will
press a similar plank on the national
committee.
His closest friends in private life say
the Massachusetts senator has given
free expression to the hope that his
states expression will be sustained by
the national gathering. 1t is claimed
this would be wise, for it would leave
the door open for changes thought
wise, while not making it mandatory
John M. Switzer, a delegate of the
convention from Cebu, Philippine
islands, and member of the commit
tee on credentials, submitted to the
subcommittee the draft of plank ia
voring tariff reduction and ultimate
free trade between the United States
and the Philippines islands. The sub
committees decision was adverse to
the proposition as a part of the plat
form. The plank presented is as fol-
lows:
We favor the reduction of the existing
tariff imposed in the United States upon
products from the Philippines, at least to
% per cent of the present Dingley rate. We
favor ultimate free trade between the
United States and the Philippines islands.
Tariff Plank as 1t Stands
The tariff plank agreed on by the
subcommittee declares for the cardinal
principles of protection" and further,
that the rate of duty should be the
difference between the cost Of produc-
ton in the United States and abroad.
The rates of duty should be readjusted
only when conditions have so changed
that the public interest demands it.
All such changes should be made by the
Republican party.
A long paragraph was adopted in re-
lation to reciprocity, after a very ex-
citing and protracted contest by a
bare majority. Several votes were
taken on this subject and it was re-
considered two or three times before
being finally agreed to. 1t is a decla-
ration for commercial reciprocity
which is possible only under a pro-
tective tariff and whenever reciprocity
arrangements can be perfected without
injury to any industry
The opposition to the reciprocity
plank was led by Mr.. Blythe, of Iowa !;
Representative Dalzell and Senator
Hansbrough, while Senators Lodge and
Foraker persisted in an effort to Sc
cure the declaration. 1t was urged
that reciprocity had been Endorsed by
previous platforms, and more particu-
larly in the last speech of President
Mckinley at Buffalo, and had been fol-
lowed by the present administration in
carrying out the policies of the Nc
Kinley administration. More time was
spent on this issue than all the re-
mainder Of the platform, and all the
opponents consented to agree to it only
when it appeared that the fight might
be taken into the committee on reso-
lutions and possibly before the con-
Vention. AS the matter stands, the
subcommittee will report unanimously
and it is expected its action will be
ratified by the full committee at its
meeting tomorrow.

CORTELYOU WILL

His Republicanism Is Vouched for by

WASHINGTON, d. c., June FL
Secretary Cortelyou, Of the department
Of commerce and labor this afternoon
left for Chicago. Advices received by
President Roosevelt from the conven-
ton leaders show that doubt as to Sec
rotary Cortelyou's selection as national
committee chairman has been removed.
Such opposition as there was to Sec
rotary Cortelyou's selection has been
dissipated and the belief exists in Off
cial quarters that he will be elected
unanimously as national chairman.
1t is pointed out that much Of the
opposition that existed TO Mr.. CorteI-
you's selection was on the statement
that he was at one time a Democrat
and was a free trader. A high official
who has known Mr. Cortelyou for many

State Central Committees Meetinn


After banquet given by the Com
mercial club, of Duluth, to the men,
bers of the state central committee,
that body met at 10 o'clock tonight i'll
the club rooms and called the state
nominating convention for Aug. 80.
The convention will probably be held
at ST. Paul, though the state fair
grounds We're supported as a meeting
place. A rumor current about the ho-
tells that the state central committee
would select a temporary chairman of
the convention tomorrow proved to be
without foundation, for no motion to
that effect was introduced.
The meeting of the committee was
attended by fully sixty Of its eighty
three members, or their proxies and
it was so harmonious as to be without
incident. j. l.. Buck, of Winona, pre-
sided as chairman, and H. L. Tolmie,
of Spring Valley, was secretary. Fol
lowing a roll call a delegate moved
that the nominating convention be set
for Aug. 80, and the motion went
through with a rush. Then J. A. Nc
Dermott, of Spring Valley, nominated
St. Paul as the meeting place.
Left to Executive Committee
F. A. Day of Fairmont, suggested
that the convention would expect GER
tain courtesies from the city enter
tanning the delegates, and he offered
an amendment that the place of hold~
ing the convention be left to the exec
utive committee with instructions to
make proper arrangements. Delegate
McDermott wanted the convention
held at the state fair grounds during
the fair, but withdrew his original mo-
ton designating st. Paul and DAYS
