The historic capitol building is to be va

quarters of the governor. the secretary OF
the commonwealth and minor state ofhciais

OF next year.
Tho legislature does not meet again until

than 100 years ago after plans brought
from France by Thomas Jefferson. Practi-
caliy nothing has been done to the building
since that time except to provide for re-

he aligned himself fully for the campaign
with the dominant faction in the party,
which is opposed to him. He declared him
self in perfect accord with the address of
Congressman w. P. Hepburn, leading
'standpatter,' and as he continued in this
harmonious vein he was accorded cheer
upon cheer.
The resolutions adopted are brief. and
they include nothing to give offense to the

jority had it in it's power to do SO. The
resolutions indorse the Chicago national
platform. the administration of Roosevelt,
and the nomination of Roosevelt and Fair

Chairman Hepburn's Address.
Representative w. P. Hepburn was tenn
porary chat man, and his speech outlined
the policy which was later embodied in the
platform. Mr. Hepburn opened his address
by a brief review of the history of the re-
publican party.
Some time was taken up with a discus
sion of past platforms. The speaker said
that men had a right to place their own
interpretations upon what the policy of
the party should be, but that when that
party spoke through it's platform they
should remain silent.
Presidential electors were selected from
each of the eleven districts. The resolu-
tions committee was composed of men op-
posed to the so-called Iowa idea" The
"stand pat faction went to the caucuses
today prepared to fight if necessary. in
order to eliminate from the resolutions
committee any who are believers in the
Iowa idea," and who are not adherents
of protection. 1t was unnecessary. how
ever. as Gov. Cummins and his friends
conceded victory from the outset and
made no efforts to control any OF the eau
cuses.

to the young men Of the country-and

This is made into a mash. allowed to
