with force and increasing enthusiasm

Joseph Cotton of Minnesota was the

speaker whose voice could be heard
in the remotest corner of the hall
and for this reason he was cheered
by the galleries repeatedly.
He was followed by Cummings, the
colored delegate from Maryland, who

repeated. Chairman Cannon at the
conclusion of the roll call announced
that Theodore Roosevelt had receiv

his nomination for the presidency by
the Republican party. The enthusiasm
which followed this announcement
was much briefer than that which fol

before the convention.
The chairman then ordered the call
of states for nominations for vice

Chicago, June 23-It was reported
that the national convention OF the
Republican party would meet at ten
O'Clock with the expectation of nOmi
mating the candidates and adjourning
in time for the afternoon trains. The
Coliseum began to fill at nine o'clock
with thousands who are permitted to
hear the oratory.
The nomination of candidates in
the convention is the feature that ap-
peals most strongly to the public,
and the number of visitors this morn
ing gave ample evidence of that fact.
Half an hour before the time for the
opeing of the convention there were
as many visitors in the galleries as
witnessed the entire opening session
of the convention have all the visitors
seats been filled, but the manner in
which the crowd poured through the
entrances today gave evidence that
by the time the gavel fell every seat
would be taken.
There was some delay in calling
the convention to order to give time
for the preparation of some resolu
tions which are to be presented, and
it was 10:3O when the chairman s
gavel fell.
prayer today. After some announce
ments the chairman announced that
the next order of business would be
the roll call by states for nomina-
tions for President of the Unitel
States. The clerk called the name of
Alabama, and Immediately the chair.
man of that delegation mounted his
chair and said that Alabama had the
honor of yielding it's place on the
Aoll call to New York. Instantly the
convention was in an uproar shn'+

Ex-Governor Frank Black immed
lately mounted the platform and in
a few words was introduced by Chair
man Cannon. Governor Blacks voice
though Not heavy, carried well and
increased in volume as he got fairly
under way His epigrams provoked
laughter and his sharply turned SEN
tences never failed to raise ripple
OF applause. Black pronounced the
nominating words at just 1905. and
as he did SO he retired quickly from
the platform. (His speech will be

When Governor Black concluded

Fairbanks In California.

PALO ALTO, Cal, Oct. 1.-The first
meeting addressed by Senator Fair
banks today was held at this point at
s o'clock. Notwithstanding the early
hour many people awaited the train
when it pulled into the station and as
the meeting progressed many others
arrived on foot, in carriages and on
bicycles. In his speech Senator Fair
banks took cognizance of the location
here Of the Stanford university and
addressed himself largely to the stu.
dents, dwelling upon the opportunities
afforded to youth in the present age.
He also referred to the growth of the
country during the past seven years,
saying that the flag uf the United
States is now the greatest emblem OF
power on the earth. "This,' he said,
sis not due to accident but to the fac,
that our government is conducted or

CLARk'S CONTRIBUTION.

According to press dispatch from
New York, the democratic campaign

in this story will increase the amaze

Assuming that Senator Clark has
made big contri button to the demo
cratic campaign fund, it would be in

the deal. Mr.. Clark seldom pays ou

Settlers Are Returning.

If reports are to be believed, there
has been a collapse in the land boom
of northwestern Canada, says the
Spokesm an n-Review of Spokane. For
two years or more there has been
steady movement toward the North
west provinces, but apparently a
re action has set in. Hundreds
of people went across the line
from the United States, but many OF
them have already returned. Many
others are said to be preparing to
come back, but will rem ain until they
have perfected title to their home
steads. The Canadian law requires
at least six months residence on the
land for three years, and 1t is the pur'
pose of the settlers to acquire clear
and full title and then sell out.
The objection to the new country is
not to the land itself, which Is fertile,
but to the climate, which is unusually

Policy But Not Business.

Judge Parker, in sneering at the
value of our home market in his letter
of acceptance, evidently was not aware
of the fact that this market is worth
between twenty and thirty billions of
dollars, which is the value of all for
eign markets combined. In other
words, Mr.. Parker would give up this
home market which we possess for the
foreign market of lesser value which
We do not and can never possess in its
entirety. This may be good demo
cratic policy, but it certainly is not
business.

an appeal to the emperors of Russia

Russians and the Japanese the wisdom
of putting an end to the present war.
1t was also voted that the resolution
referring to friendly intervention by

Roosevelt by committee of the con

after Il lengthy discussion, in which

TIE DECADENCE OF pOpULISM.

Populism is the expression of dis
content. 1t is a protest against tenn
porary conditions. 1t has no funda-
mental principles, no permanent pol.
icy. Its platforms offer remedies of
untried experiment for political all
ments of doub origin.
Populism thrives on public distress
and human ignorance. 1t disappears
with the spread of intelligence and
prosperity. When man fails to ac-
comp,ish what he would with the abil.
ties at his command he becomes a
populist, and fills his space on earth
with the groanings Of envy and malice
and despair. Having exhausted the
energy of his ignorance in fruitless en-
deavors, the tireless selishness Of
his nature prompts him to profit by
the example of others and to renew the
exercise of the reasoning power with
which Il good God has endowed him,
whereupon he returns to his old as
sociates and resumes his proper place
in the march of civilization.
Today there are no populists worth
mentioning except disgruntled office
seekers and politicians who seek to
avoid disgruntlement by tricky ma
nipr lation of tie only party organic
alton in which they may hope for
! prominence. The partisans of estab'
lished faith and rational purpose are
unjust, who seek party advantage
by attempting to discredit the opposi'
tion through charging it with being
the refuge of populism; almost popu
listic in their complaining. AT home
coming time, the populist, like every
other living creature, finds his right
full home. In Kansas, Nebraska, an(
South Dakota, where the distressfu
times of the panic period prompted ths
farmers to desert republcanism fol
populism, the populists go back to the
republican party. In the states far
ther south, as in Montana, they fine
their natural place of rest and theil
old.tim friends among the democrats
and in no case, anywhere, does it ap
pear that the penitent populist is un
welcome or regarded as unworthy b,
his friends of old. And surely tht
whole nation may rejoice with pro
priety when even the humblest either

POSTMASTER GENERAL IS DEAD.

you, of the Republican Committee.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 4.-Henry G.
Payne, postmaster general of the
United States, member of the repub-
lican national committee, stalwar
of his party with the history of which
in his home state and nationally he
had been identified for many years,
died at his apartments at the Arling-
ton hotel at 6:10 o'clock tonight, aged
60 years.
Mr.. Payne had been in poor health
for some two years, but his last illness
covered only seven days, an attack OF
heart trouble last week precipitating
the end at time when, after rest,
he seemed to have recovered small
measure of the vitality impaired by
years of arduous labor. Death this
afternoon came after nearly six hours
of unconsciousness. The last official
caller to inquire as to Mr.. Payne's
condition was President Roosevelt,
and he had been gone only about ten
minutes when the stricken member OF
his cabinet expired.
In succession to Mr.. Payne, George
Bruce Cortelyou, former secretary OF
the department of commerce and la.
Dor, and now chairman of the republi.
can national committee, will become
postm aster general. Mr.. Cortely YOU s
appointment as head Of the postoffice
department was determined on several
months ago by President Roosevelt,
when Mr.. Payne indicated to the pres.
ident his desire to retire from the de-
partment on account of the precarious
condition of his health.

INITIATIVE AND REFERENDUM NJ.

| Montana is not the only state in
which the initiative and referendum is
an important issue in this campaign.
In many of the older states the people
propose to secure supervisory control
over the acts of their legislative as
semblies-to secure laws demanded by
| the public interest," and to repeal legis-
lation th at is undesirable and harmful
to the general community. At the
next general election in Missouri the
people will vote upon a proposed
constitutional amendment relating to
the initiative and referendum, and in
a recent issue of the St. Louis Dis
patch appears this brief and clear ex-
planation of the subject by w. P.
Hill, one of the supporters of the pro-
position:
Direct legisl alton means law-ma aking
directly by the people. 1t is com
posed Of two parts, the initiative and
the referendum.
If the init ative were a part of our
qualified voters of the state, which in
Missouri would amount to about TO-
900 voters, could sign a petition stat.
ing that they wanted certain law
en- acted. Then under the provisions
of the initiative, if the legislature fail
ed or refused to pass the law, if would
have to be submitted to the vote of
the whole people of the state, and at
the next general election it would be
printed on all the ballots and every
voter of the state, irrespective of par
ty, could vote yes Or no on that ques-
ton, and if it was approved by a ma
jority 1t would become law directly
by that action OF the people and with
out the consent of the legislature or
the governor and the law would then
read: "Be it enacted by the sover-
eign people of Missouri:" instead of
"Be it Enacted by the legislative as
sembly of Missouri
The referendum is another part of
| this same system.
With the referendum in force if the
legislature passed law that was OBJ
jectionable to the people or that the
people considered unjust or oppres-
sive, or if the legislature gave away
for little or nothing a valuable fran.
cnise that the people did not want
given away, then ten per cent of the
voters of the state could, within 80
days after the ad adjournment of the
legislature, sign a petition demand

and under the provisions of the refer.
endum this law would have to be
printed on all the ballots at the next
general election, and if approved by q
