After the chairman had read every
thing on his typewriter page" and
the business of the convention was
completed, a call was made for an
address from Delegate Wilson, who
was present. He responded in one of
his characteristic speeches covering
about forty minutes, in which he i'm
parted to the faithful what the plat
form would be which was to be adopt
ed at st. Louis in the coming ma
tioDal convention. He said that one
plank would be for a revision of the
tariff but not for free trade; another
would be for the uncovering of the
trusts, which he claimed were en-
trenched behind the wall of a high
protec,se ,ariF aud were laundering
the Masses He then mentioned the
fact that there would be many caBdi-
dates presented to the St. Louis con-
vention for nomination, but thought
that there would be only two of these
that would be seriously considered,
they were ". r. Hearst and Judge
Parker. He expressed himself decid-
eddy in favor of Hearst but said he
would support Parker il be should be
nominated. Then spent several min
utes in explaining how it happened
that Arizona did not get statehood
and abused the republican admins
tration for offering Arizona and New
Mexico joint statehood.
After be had finished his speech the
| convention adjourned.
