Providence, f. l., April 26.-FOllOwing
extremely quiet Canvassing and with no
ccntesting delegations or conflicting
factions. the state Republican conven-
ton to elect delegates to the National
convention of the party at Chicago for
the nomination of Il President was held
in Infantry hall here. Tuesday. Before
the converting of the delegates there
appeared to be 4 spirit of certainty
that President Roosevelt would be Ell
dOrSed by the convention without OppO-
sition. No opposition to the list of ma
tional dt leSates selected by the state
central committee had appeared. nor
was such an occurrence likely.
A short platform, endorsing President
Roosevelt, and pledging support OF Re-
publicanS in Rhode Island. rs Well as
touching upon national issues. it WAS
stated. had been drawn up by the CEN
trail committee and would be laid before

Republican party stands. today. as it
has since the day of its BIRTH for the
DfUtucSt, luileSt liberty Oh tHe liluiN!u-
ual, which is consistent with the liberty
of the whole. And on such a platform
We appeal for public support.
ITO all of this our opponents stand
in marked contrast. They have neither
n,incinles nor candidate save such as
are those Of onnosition rather than of
nrogress of destruction rather than of
construction.
AT last. however they announce that
the one and the only one issue will ne
Theodore Roosevelt. Theodore Roose-
Welt is a fair representative of the Re
publican party lie is, today, the choice
of no faction. of no section and of no
single state. He is the choice of the
whole people. The delegates here
named will need no formal instructions
from u.s. They will attend the greater
convention and there will record as
their choice for the Presidency the
man who has been the President during
the past three years and will be during
the next four years-Theodore Roose-
