strangers in town. $500; average daily

four in room. and many spend sever
al times that amount. About $500

men were iii session in another. There
were JS512 delegates in this conven-
ton, including those who had been
seated on contests by the state CEN
trail committee. All were for LaFol-
lette, and there was no opposition. Ev-
erything. as at the anti convention,
was unanimous, and LaFollette was
nominated for governor for a third
term with a whOop.
The feature of the convention was
the appearance of Governor LaFOl-
lette before the convention after he
had been officially notified of his NOM
inatiOn. He was accorded q most en-
thusiaStic reception, which lasted sew
eral minutes. In his speech of ac
ceptance he reviewed the work of his
two administrations and scored the
opposition for failure to carry out the
promises contained in the party plat
forms. He declared himself for con-
troll by the people of the railways, de-
claring that they had become public
masters instead of servants. He said
the Opposition to him was caused by
his position on this point, and said
that in this matter the president OF
the United States and he stood on the
same platform.
The platform reaffirms the national
platforms and indorseS Roosevelt and
his administration; approves his ac-
ton in the coal strike: favors read
justment of the tariff so as to hit the
trusts, and stands for public control
of corporationS.
