manent organization, and order of BUSH
ness. and these reports having been
adopted. committee will be named to

Of the temporary chairman. dealing
with the issues of the campaign. This
speech will later form an important
part Of the campaign literature and be
published in the Official party publica-
ton known as the Campaign text
book" Following the address of the
permanent chairman will come the re-
port of the committee that has framed
the platform. At this stage of the pro-
| ceedings the convention will liven up
and many interesting speeches and
! debates may be looked for These
speeches will probably prolong the ses-
sion. though the final adoption of the
platform will mark the end of the Sec
! ond day of the convention.
Friday will be the big day of the con-
vention, the day to which all Of the
previous sessions and proceedings are
but an introduction. It will be the day
on which candidates for president and
vice president will be named. The cam
didates will be placed In nomination.
but few believe that the convention will
be able to make a selection before Sat-
urday and probably later. This is the
part Of the game when heated debates
and fiery oratory are in order
| The roll Of states will be called al
phabetically. and each state will be
| asked IL 1t has candidate to present
Arizona or California might present the
name of Hearst, but 1t is probable that
no response will be made until Della
ware Is reached. when the leader Of the
delegation from that state will present
the name OF Judge George Gray for the
presidential nomination. 1t Is proba-
BILE that Illinois. with its fifty-four del
egates, will be selected to present the
| name Of Hearst. Massachusetts, will
present the name of Richard Olney.
When New York il reached the name
of Parker viii be formally presented to
the convention. The speech nominating
Judge Parker will be made by Martin
w. Littleton. president of the borough
OF Brooklyn. Missouri will cast the
candidacy Of her favorite son. Cockrell

consin win place in nomination Wall Of
Milwaukee. whose candidacy succeeded
in preventing the Badger state from
falling into the Hearst column. The
German candidacy. will be presented by
West Virginia, which II the only state
instructed for the Maryland senator.
indicative Of his real strength in the
race.
| After the favorite sons have been
presented and the first ballot taken the
battle will be on In earnest. When the
end will come or what It will be IL
purely conjecture. When a candidate
has been finallv selected. however the
convention will proceed to the nomi-
nation Of a candidate for vice president.
| So far little attention IL being paid to
this part of the work. 1t Is virtually
an established rule to select can

graphically opposite to that from which
the presidential candidate comes. g
With the selection Of the ticket the
national convention will adjourn.
The national committee. however.
will remain In the city to choose a
chairman. who will be the manager of
the campaign: vice chairman, and a
secretary. who viii be his assistants.
and an executive committee. who will
net with him In an advisory CAPACITY
pend upon which wing of the party
gains control of the convention. The
chairman will naturally be one who Is
personally acceptable to the presiden-
tial nominee. In any event. 1t is stated
definitely that ex-senator Jones. the
incumbent, win retire and a new mar
chosen for the place. Should Parker
be nominated 1t Is rumored that
Thomas Taggert. the present national
committeeman from Indiana and a
practical politician Of recognized abil-
ity, will be selected to head the COM
mittee.
After the new committee is made ur
the chairman and his assistants will
proceed to omen headquarters for the
campaign. Headquarters will be nom
mated in New York. and the western
end of the campaign will probably be
directed from Chicago as in former
years.

adjonrns the committee on notification
will wait on the presidential and vice
presidential candidates to formally no.
