CONVENTION IN DETAIL
Attempts to Stampede the Delegates
Failed.

Springfield. us. May 13,-Delegates
to the Republican STATE convention
were confronted with reports that q
stampede TO Frank O. Lowdeu OF Chi
cagO for governor had been planned
by his friends the time 10 be at the
taking of the third ballot A SEEM
lngIy well authenticated statement was
made that United States Senator Hop
kins on that ballot would throw Kane
county TO LOwden and that a score Of
Hopkins pictures would be hOisted at
the moment as a signal that the seua-
tor is for LOWden. This was expected
according 20 the plan, to carry a large
number Of Governor Yates delegates
10 LOWden. The Yates managers de
eIaTed, however, that the governor was
in a stronger position than ever and
that Yates would Be nominated
Charles s. Deneen also was confident
Of making gains as the DallOJlng pro-
dressed.
Wild Scenes Enacted
The wild scenes which characterized
the convention last night were repeated
today A daring young Yates adher-
ent scaled one of the sUriugers on the
roof Of the convention hall and from
his peTilOuS position suspended a p5r-
trait of the governor. Immediately q
follower OF Deneeu duplicated the per
Torrance with half dozen pictures
while Warner and Hamlin men. even
more daring, carried great canvas BAN
neTs to other points of vantage above
the heads Of the delegates.
Speaker Cannon called the CunVsn-
tiOn to order with q great megaphone
through which he announced unless
order was maintained he would ad-
jOuTu the meeting 10 the hall of repre-
sentauves and exclude all but mem
beTs Of the press and the delegates
Judge EibTidge HaBCey. chairman of

SECRETARY sHAw,s PLAN.


: Secretary Shaw is not adding any,
thing to his reputation as a statesman
by his attempt to substitute system
of drawbacks for a revision of the tar
fff which reduces duties. The only eff
feet of Mr.. Shaw's scheme would be to
make it possible for the manufacturer
to sell cheaper in the foreign market
than he does now. 1t would not af-
feet the price which he is able to
charge to the home consumer.
That sort of tariff revision the do
nestle consumer is not particularly
interested in. In fact, he is much i'm
pressed with the favoritism already
shown to the foreign consumer in
many lines of manufactur, where,
under one pretext or another, the ex
ported article is sold abroad at con-
same kind manufactured under like
conditions are sold at home.
The drawback system has it's uses
undoubtedly, but it is no substitute
for tariff revision in the interest of
the American consumer. 1t does not
take him into account at all.
A more interesting phase of the tar
iff question is that brought out by
Washington correspondent, in which
he shows that the popular term for
tariff REIMBURSEMENT just now is not
tariff revision, but tariff amendment.
Somehow or other it seems to be less
Objectionable to the "standpatter,
possibly because it may be accom-
plished without taking up the whole
list of protected articles, and bring
ing the entire protective system into
review. This is the way the .presi-
dent expresses it to the leaders among
the high tariff .'standpatters,' and
it seems to afford them a convenient
and easy means of escape from a po-
sition which is becoming more and
more untenable every day. At the
same time it seems to offer an OPP
portunity to accomplish all desired re-
suits. 1t not only relieves tariff revision
of the menace of general business dis
turbance. but it also provides way
by which tariff inequalities may be
ttt.- 4:
corrected from time to time, without
waiting for general consideration of
the whole subject. The existence of a
single abuse in the tariff schedules
under the amendment plan becomes
accessible and may be corrected at
any time.
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1904-12-02
OIL INVITES TROUBLE

The constitution does not always
follow the flag, but there is no ques-
ton at all about the Standard Oil
company. In it's usual adroit fash
ion, the Rockefeller monopoly has
been reaching out after the Isthmus
of Panama.
Recently the canal commission re-
ceiyed a proposal from persons allied
with the Standard Oil company" ask
ing for exclusive rights to bore for
oil along the route Of the canal, and
to construct a pipe line across the
isthmus.
Apparently the members of the COM
mission had been reading Miss Tar
bell, and the pipe line" proposition
conveyed a warning to their ears.
They saw in this apparently innocent
plan for the development of new oil
fields the same old tactics of the Rock
efeller syndicate. There is probably
fuel oil along the route of the canal,
which would be of immense service in
furnishing power for the coming OPP
erations The Standard Oil company,
once possessed of this field and the ex-
elusive right to. carry the oil, would
be in a position to make a splendid
profit off the government, and add fur
Their to it's dividends
The Panama commission did not
bite, but the story shows that even
the federal government is not safe
from the Vaccinations of this monop-
oily. The incident is a warning to the
department of commerce to get busy
with its investigation of the petro-
leum industry. Such an investigation
can hardly fail to develop that the
Standard is the whole petroleum in
dustry, and a combination in restraint
of trade
Good evidence of the monopoly's
power to fix prices, regardless of sup
ply and demand, is furnished in the
statistics of production for 1903. The
crude petroleum output for that year
was 1OO,461,337 barrels in the United
States. a gain of 11,694,421 barrels OF
1917 per cent over 1902. In the, face
of this increased production the prices
| Of crude oil have been advanced, anC
the consumer has paid a higher price
for larger output. There is no APP
parent economic reason for this, ex-
cept the desire of the Standard Oil
stockholders for a larger dividend.
The Evening statesman. [volume] (Walla Walla, Wash.) 1903-1910, 1904-12-02

Governor Mcbride would probably
not be a formidable candidate for the
United States senate himself if he
should enter the race, but it is likely
that his influence with eastern Wash
ingtOn legislators will have much to
do with the outcome Of the senatorial
fight. 1t is safe to say that McBride's
influence will not be used to aid either
Sam Piles or John L. Wilson, who
joined with the railroad bosses in
downing Mcbride and his commission
plank at the Tacoma state conven-

SEA WARFARE CHANGING.
New York Millionaire Has Plans for a
Floating Fortress Of Power.

NEW YORK. Dec. with the as
sertion that the exigencies of modern
ton more powerful than 10000 ton
battleships and 12-inch guns, Arson
Phelps Stokes, ex-vice commodore
of the New York Yacht club, present
ed to the twelfth general meeting of
the Society of Naval Architects, yes
terday, his latest plans for an impreg-
nable floating naval battery for the
harbor and coast defense
The members of the society, includ-
ing naval officers, shipbuilders and
naval architects, gave the closest at
tention to Mr.. Stokes novel scheme,
which is a departure from existing
designs as radical as was the Moni-
tor. In the discussion which followed
the reading Of the paper, the naval
men present spoke favorably of the
idea.
Drawings and diagrams of the new
fighting monster were examined with
the keenest interest. The machine de-
scribed by Mr.. Stokes is an improve
ment of his first invention. The first
plan was for a circular battery; the
modified form is semi globular Mr..
Stokes has named his island of steel,
with it's equipment of guns of awful
destructive power, the Cerberus, and
has protected himself with patents at
Washington and in Europe.
Mr.. Stokes has long been known as
a philanthropist. Three of his sons
have been prominent in charity
work, one of them, Arson Phelps
Stokes, Jr., being a clergyman.
Mr.. Stokes said of his invention
The late naval battles make it ev-
ident that for a leading position in
sea power and for the proper protec-
ton of our coasts and of our officers
and crews in battle, there is need for
something more powerful than the
present 16,000-ton battleship. with it's
12-inch guns and insufficient armor,
and that only the very foremost ma
tons will be able to maintain really
effective fleets
New Types of BattIeships.
With the increase in size the power
of new types of battleships and naval
batteries may come the naval SUI
premacy of America alone.
Nations weak in battleships may
hug the idea of commerce destroyers
but that barbarous system of wagng
war must be destroyed, as were pri-
watering and piracy. Commercial
vessels are now built much larger
than the largest battleships. But more
powerful battleships are sure to be
built and more powerful guns. Land
Notifications cannot now be made suf-
ficient to protect our ports.
How dangerous will be the posi-
tion of New York and other large
cities when attacked by naval guns
