The keynote to the campaign of
19Oi was sounded by Hon. Elihu Root
in his speech as temporary chairman.
His address was review of the ac-
cOmplishmentS of the present admin
istration and n defense of republican
politics in general. Among other
things he said:
The responsibility of government
rests upon the republican party. The
complicated machinery through which
the 80000,000 people of the United
States govern themselves, answers to
no single will. The composite govern
ment devised by the trainers of the
constitution to meet the conditions of
national life more than a century ago,
requires the willing cooperation of
many minds, the combination of many
Independent factors, in every for
ward step for the general welfare.
When the course of the next ad-
ministration is but half done the re-
publican party will have completed
the first half century of its national
life OF the eleven administrations
since the first election of Abraham
Lincoln, nine-covering a period OF
thirty-six years-have been under re-
publican presidents For the greater
part of that time, the majority in each
house Of congress has been republi
can. History affords no parallel in
any age or country for the growth in
national greatness and power and
honor, the wide diffusion of the com
forts of life, the uplifting of the great
mass OF the people above the hard
conditions of poverty, the common OPP
portunity for education and individu-
al advancement, tie universal posses
sion of civil and religious liberty, the
protection of property and security
for the rewards Of industry and enter
prise, the cultivation of national
morality, respect for religion, sym
pathy with humanity and love of lib.
,erty and justice, which have marked
the life of the American people dur.
ing this long period of republican
control
With the platform ana the candi
dates of this convention, we are abou
to ask a renewed expression of popu
lar confidence in the republican party

Platform Adopted that Contains Several
Clauses of Striking Interest

Chicago, June 22.-Without a dis
turbing element to impede smooth
operation the first days program for
the republican national convention
was carried out like clockwork. Not
q jarring sound was heard.
With three raps OF the gavel Chair
man Payne called the convention to
order at 12:16.
He then introduced Rev. Timothy P.
Frost, pastor of the First Methodist
church OF Evanston, H., who pro-
nounCed the opening prayer.
Senator Scott, on behalf of the Chi
cago citizens committee which CO.
operated with the national committee
on arrangements for the convention,
then presented National Chairman
Payne with handsome gavel 1t was
large and made for business. A
heavy gold band was inscribed Mr..
Henry c. Payne, chairman republican
national committee. 1904"
Mr.. Payne expressed his apprecia-
tion of the gift, and announced that
Secretary Elmer Dover, of the ma
tional committee, would read the call
of the convention. Mr.. Dover delegat-
Sti MI. NANNY Vi CilO' cllN VI bhS

Chairman Payne recognized Gov.
Van SAINT, of Minnesota, to present the
table used by the presiding officer.
1t was made by the members of the
South Minneapolis high school and. he
said had been used at republican con-
vention3 in Minneapolis, St Louis and
Philadelphia. He asked the chairman
to use it for this convention, which
would nominate that invincible leader,
Theodore Roosevelt. 1t was the first
mention of the presidents name in
the convention, and the delegates rose
to the sound as one man. Cheers rang
through the hall. and many men
.sprang upon their chairs and waved
hats, banners and handkerchiefs.
After the applause had subsided
Chairman Payne in a few words eX-
pressed thanks for the gavel. He
then said:
"Gentlemz of the convention, the
national committee has selected for
your temporary chairman Hon. Elihu
Root. CT New York"
There vas another shout from the
convention which was prolonged when
Gov. Odell, of New York, rose to move
that the action of the national com
mittGe be approved. loud and con
tlnued applause greeted Gov. Odell
and it was some moments before he
could put his motion. 1t was at once
adopted by the convention.

The idea OF liberty Is very old, much
older than the idea Of parllamcnts or
constitutional governments. The latter
came In to formulate, regulate and pre-
serve liberty. The great English
sources Of liberty are we'll defined and
readily recognized.
First Is Magma Charta, granted In
1915. King John, prior to granting
this charter. had exercised almost un-
limited pS,Sr The greatest provision
OF magma chhrta is; mo freeman shall
be taken or imprisoned or disselzed or

him or commit him to prison, unless by

OF the land"
Upon this foundation constitutional
government was erected. This guaran-
tee Of uniform administration OF law
was many times violated, but the peo-
ple never yielded the rights won by the
guarantee. By the petition OF right I'm
