ton OF the immense gathering was devot-
ed 10 the New York statesman. The
more striking sentences of his speech
were literally appauded. When he re-
viewed in figures the increase OF the
money Of the country and announced the
enormous sum of gold accumulated the
convention became enthusiastic. All Of
these details and figures Mr. Root pro-
nounced without reference to memornn-
dunn. He turned his attention to the ad-
ministrations' regulation OF trusts and
when he said But no honest industry
has been suppressed" there was n round
OF approving applause. The declaration
that those corporations which had on
croached on the rights Of the public had
been curbed to nm extent never before
reached. also pleased the convention.
Mr.. Root threw back the lapplS Of his

his words with quiet gestures in which

part.

Fifty years ago the Republican party
came into existence dedicated among other
purposes 10 the great task of arresting the
extension Of human slavery. II 1860 II
elected its first President. During twenty
four Of the forty-four years which have
elapsed since the election of Lincoln the
Republican party has held complete con

Of the forty-four years It has held partial
two branches OF the government, while the
democratic party during the same. period
mas had complete control for only two
ycnls. This long tenure OF power by the
Republican party Is not due to chance. 1t
Is n demonstration that the Republican
party has commanded the confidence Of
the American people for nearly two gener-
utons TO degree never equaled In our
history, and has displayed a high capacity
for rule and government which has been
made even more conspicuous by the inca
pacity ana inhrm!ty OF purpose shown by

which the Republican party is felici-
tated.
The draft contained a declaration in
favor of encouraging American ship
ping.
Lodges draft did not contain any
declaration on the subject of the ar
bitration of the Canadian boundary
question, but other members of the
committee suggested a plank cover
ing that point, the remark being made
that the fact that Senator Lodge had
been a member of that commission
should not stand in the way of a
proper presentation of it, in view of
its importance.
John NJ. SwitZer. a delegate to the
convention from Cebu. 2. l., and a
member OF the committee on Gre
dentials, submitted to the committee
a draft of plank favoring reduction
and ultimate free trade between the
United States and the Philippine
Islands. The subcommittee decision
was adverse to the proposition as a
part of the platform.
The original draft of the platform
contained no reference to the question
of polYgamy and at a late hour the
question had not been taken UP by
the committee. Senator Smoot says
that there will be no utterance what
ever concerning il.
The supporters of the proposition
to admit the Territories of Oklahoma
and Indian Territory as one State and
those of New Mexico and Arizona as
another received what they consider
as satisfactory assurance that a
plank supporting that policy would
be inserted in the platform.

whenever reciprocity arrangements can
be perfected without injury to any in
dustry.'
The opposition to the reciprocity
plank was led by Blythe of Iowa, Rep
resentative Dalzell and Senator Hans
brough, While Senator Lodge and Sen
ator Foraker persisted in an effort to
secure the declaration.
A plank was adopted urging the ac-
ceptance by all foreign countries of
passports issued to Jewish citizens of
the United States.
Another calls upon Congress to inves-
tigate whether the right of franchise is
being violated, and if so demands that
States violating section IA shall be linn

toral College representation.
LODGE PRESENTS HIS DRAFT.
When the subcommittee met. Sena-
tor Lodge for the first time presented
his draft of a platform, saying that it
was intended largely as a basis for ac-
tion by the committee. His draft in
cluded a plank strongly commencing
the established Republican policy on
the tariff and presenting in terse Ian
guage the necessity for maintaining the
protective policy in the interest of
American labor and American indus
tries. There was a mild declaration on
the subject of reciprocity and a pro-
nouncement against trusts, but with
a reservation in the interest of 'estab-
iished, legitimate industries" In this
connection it congratulated the party
upon legislation on the trust question
which had been enacted since Roose-
Welt became President.
There were planks dealing with the

gates rose at the sound as one man.
Cheers rang through the hall. and
many men sprang upon their chairs
and waved hats, banners and hand
kerchiefs.
After the applause had subsided
Chairman Payne, in few words, ex-
pressed thanks for the gavel. He then
said:
gentlemen of the conventions: The
national committee has selected for
your temporary chairman the Hon.
Elihu Root of New York"
There was another shout from the
convention, which was prolonged when
Governor Odell of New York rose to
move that the action Of the national
committee be approved.
ROOTS WARM RECEPTION.
Applause greeted Governor Odell,
and it was some moments before he
could put his motion. 1t was at once
adopted by the convention. Mr.. Root
was greeted with renewed cheers as he
advanced to the speakers stand.
"Mr Chairman" he said, Il am
deeply" Another burst of cheering
cut him Off
'I am deeply" resumed Mr.. Root.
when quiet was restored, and this time
he was permitted to proceed.
simultaneously with ex-Secretary
Roots appearance at the speakers
table an immense oil painting of Presi-
dent Roosevelt was unveiled at his
right.
The tableau brought forth a burst
of enthusiasm. AS Mr.. Root began to
speak the picture was removed and
the sole attention of the immense
gathering was devoted to the New
York statesman. He had hardly struck
his stride when cries of louder" were
heard from far recesses of the hall.
His voice soon gained power, however.
and his well-enunciated words rang
through the still hall.
Mr.. Root concluded his address with
the words, Theodore Roosevelt" and
these were magic to the delegates.
The most marked demonstration Of the

by the time the list of committeeman
had been presented.
Delegate Thomas of Illinois, after
introducing a resolution which he
wished to go to the committee on res
olutious without being read, made a
motion that the convention adjourn.
Nobody paid any attention to his mo-
tion and he withdrew it a few moments
later
A few raps from the chairman's gavel
brought order in the convention and
the clerk proceeded to tabulate the
names Of the committeeman and the
chairman announced the places of
meeting.
Ex-senator Mason of Illinois present
ed a petition, which was referred to
the committee on resolutions without
debate.
Mr.. Root announced the time and
place of meeting of the various commit
tees. The secretary was then instruct
ed to announce the committees, which
were read to the convention.
Senator Depew presented to the con-
vention an invitation from the Louis
lana Purchase Exposition for the con-
vantion and the members of the press
to attend the exposition at the close
OF the convention at the expense of the
exposition.
Senator tDepeW was made TO go TO
the platform and read the invitation.
Upon resolution of Senator Depew
the chairman was requested to ap-
point committee to arrange and re-
port upon the invitation.
Senator Depew made a brief address,
hoping the convention would accept.
The resolution was adopted and the
committee appointed as follows:
Senator Depew, New York; Carter.
Montana; Van SAINT, Minnesota, and
Parker of Missouri.
The convention adjourned at 2:12
p. m. until noon tomorrow.

the chairman of each delegation an
nounce the names of the persons
selected to serve on the several COM
nittees as follows:
Permanent organization, rules and
order of business, credentials, resolu-
tions and further, that the chairman
of each delegation send to the secre-
tary's desk in writing the names of the
persons selected from his delegation
to serve on the aforesaid committees"
The chairman stated that the Nation
al Committee had placed upon the roll
the names of two delegates from Porto
Rico and six from the Philippines, with
two votes, and asked the pleasure of
the convention upon the action of the
committee on the ordering of a roll
call.
Senator Foraker moved that the ac-
tion of the National Committee be ap-
proved and the motion carried, but one
voice being heard in the negative.
CONFUSION DROWNS VOICES.
The call of the roll for the announce
ment of members of the committees
commenced and Immediately such con-
fusion arose that the names as called

Speaker Cannon asked unanimous
consent. that as soon as a State was
called it's list of committeeman be sent
to the clerks desk without being read
in the convention. The motion of Mr..
Cannon was adopted and almost in
stantly the assemblage lost all resem-
blance to a convention. The galleries
began to empty, the delegates mingled
on the floor and Mr.. Root was sur
rounded by group of chatting friends,
while messengers forced their way
through the crowd to collect the COM
mittee lists.
Several lmpromptu receptions oc-

o'clock this morning. Chairman Lodge
announced that the committee had con-
cluded the platform and was ready to
report to the full committee at 10
o'clock this morning The document
was agreed to unanimously by the sub
committee.
The tariff plank was finally agreed
upon, after an especially strong reit-
eratiCn of the Republican policy of
protection, announcing a Willingness to
change the schedules wherever bust
ness conditions demand the change" >"
but the opinion is expressed that all
changes should be along protection
lines.
The plank declares "for the cardinal
principles Of protection" and, further,
that the rate of duty should be the
difference between the cost of produc-
tion in the United States and abroad.
The rates of duty should be readjusted
only when conditions have so changed
that the public interests demand it. All
such changes should be made by the
Republican party"
