ROOSEVELT and FAIRBANKS
THE REPUBLICAN STANDARD BEARERS
Republican National Convention a Large
and Enthusiastic Gathering Unanimous
in Their Wishes and Harmonious
in all Their Actions.

The privilege of sitting in the ma
tional republican convention at Chi
cago last week as delegate from the
Fourth District of Iowa was an honor
that the editor most highly appreci-
ated. 1t was one Of the greatest
gatherings of national leaders ever as
sembled, and the most unsophisticated
of us sat among the big guns and en-
joyed for once in our lives the great
convocation of those in whose hands
lies the direction of the destiny of
the greatest nation upon the face of
the earth.
The doings of the convention are
at this time known to the most re-
mote citizen. The convention was
called to order on Tuesday by Post
master General Payne, acting chair
man of the republican national COM
mittee. who presented Elihu koot as
temporary chairman. The address of
Mr.. Root was the great event of the
day, and sounded the keynote of the
campaign. Speaker Cannon was
presented the second day as perman-
ent chairman and also made great
speech. On Thursday Ex-Gov. Black
presented the name of Theodore
Roosevelt for President, and after
several eloquent speeches seconding
the nomination. the roll was called,
ana every vote in the convention was
cast for his nomination. The demon
stration that lasted for over twenty
minutes is said to have been un-
euualled in enthusiasm. Then Sena-
tor Dolliver of Iowa presented the
name of Charles w. Fairbanks of In
diana as the candidate for Vice. Presi-
dent, and after more great speeches
the nomination was made by acclama-
tion. followed by another enthusias-
tic demonstration.
The platform is firm stand
pat' declaration, and yet gives room
for all republicans to stand upon it.
In the meeting of the Iowa delegation
on Monday Governor Cummins pres
ented an "Iowa Idea' resolution and
made an extended speech asking for
its adoption and presentation to the
conventions resolution committee.
Senator Dolliver, ]. W. Blythe and
several others opposed it and it was
voted down by vote of 81 to 8. Z.
E. Hart of Council Bluffs was re-
elected as Iowa's member of the ma
tional committee. After the adjourn
ment of the convention the newly
elected national committee met and
elected Hon. Geo. B. Cortelyou as
chairman of the committee to succeed
the late Senator NJ. A. Hanna.
We wish we had the time and space
to write at length concerning the grsat
convention, but the full particulars

The republican party enters the
campaign with ticket and platform
strong and invincible. With two such
leaders as Theodore Roosevelt and
Charles w. Fairbanks, both of whom
are men of sterling character. re
cognized ability and resolute courage,
deliberate in Judgment and firm in
their convictions, we are assured of
an administration of public affairs
that will be straightforward, honest
and efficient in every particular. In
their respective capacities they have
gained such firm hold on the hearts
of the people at large that their nomi-
nations came as the enthusiastic,
unanimous endorsement of their past
records in public and private life, and
with the utmost confidence that the
future welfare of the nation will be
safely instructed in their hands. The
platform is everywhere heralded as
the strongest declaration of the party
in recent years. With no attempt at
evasion, every issue has been met
squarely and openly. The tariff is
perhaps the paramount issue. and this
plank received especial care in its
preparation. While it stands for pro-
lection unqualified and unrestrained,
it declares that there should be a re-
adjustment of rates of duties when
conditions have so changed that the
public interest demands their altera-
tion. 1t also declares for recipi ooity
wherever reciprocal arrangements
can be effected consistent with the
principles of protection, and without
injury to American agriculture,
American labor or American indus,
try" The whole platform is broad
enough and firm enough for every re.
publican to stand upon, and with
such ticket and such declaration
of principles the republican party
opens the campaign with the utmost
confidence in its successful outcome

There was absolutely nothing new in the coal miners strike today. The Tennessee Coal Iron and Railroad Com pany sent number of union men to the Blue Creek region in the south ern portion of Jefferson County last evening and the coal production there is on the increase, President Ed Flynn, of the United States Mine Workers of America, was out into the district to- day. At the headquarters it was re- ported that there were no assertions from the union ranks.
 Joe Petok, the Slav interpreter and national organizer of the United Mine Workers, is back again from PennsyI- vania, and will assist the district of- fcers In the conduct of the strike There are quite a number of Slavs working in this field.
 The Sloss- effield Steel and Iron Company has five furnaces in full operation the average daily production from each furnace being over 195 tons. The production of coal and coke Is reported on the increase. There is not the least disturbance in the district and the large number of deputy sheriffs on duty have nothing to do.
