publican state convention assembled at $50
o'clock this morning for it's second days
work little time was lost getting down to
business. The resolutions committee ap-
pointed yesterday. brought in the platform,
which contained nine parts, and which was
read and adopted as whole amid rousing
applause. The platform indorses the national
republican platform. especially sound cur
rency, protective tariff, expansion, the Mon
roe doctrine, the Panama canal and a
larger navy 1t indorses President Roose-
velt's administration and his "determina-
ton to give every one square deal"
1t deplores the unimportant part being
played by Virginia in the national move
ment toward prosperity In national busi-
each community to settle in its own way. 1t
denounces the democratic state constitution
OF 1902 1t declares for higher education
and free school books in public schools. 1t
pledges the party to clean elections and an
honest count Of the ballots under unquali-
fed returns.
1t declares for non-partisan judiciary.
It declares 1t duty to keep sacred from
invasion the states natural oyster beds
and to prevent the encroachment now going
on. 1t denounces all graft in public Office
and recommends the turning out of Office OF
all wrongdoers. 1t would shake on allegi-
men to vote independently for honest cleo
tions.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
Pullman conductor on Burlington train
that came from st. Louis had surprise
early yesterday morning. About 1 o'clock
in the morning he was aroused from a light
sleep by a large, heavy-buit man in paja-
mas, who suddenly stepped out in front OF
him. and. pointing his finger, said, earn

saw the adjutant general. and he tells me
the man is not dead"
The train lurched and threw the passen-
ger against the side of the berth across the
aisle hard enough to awaken sound
sleeper.
What was 1 saying" the passenger said
when he had righted himself and opened his
eyes
II beg pardon" he added, but 1 have
talked and walked in my sleep for years"
Then the passenger went back to his
berth and the conductor wondered where
he had seen the man and heard the voice
before. He remembered finally that the
face and voice were those of VIM. Warner,
United States senator from Missouri, on his
way back from Washington.
Major Warner has always been something
of a somna mbulist, but he has always here
tofore denied that the applicants for APP
pontment in Missouri have been numerous
enough to give him serious trouble.

VICTIM OF TYPHOID
DEATH OF CAPT REEVE WHILE
HERE ON A VISIT.

Capt Horace NJ. Reeve of the Sd Infan-
try. a member of the general staff of the
army. died of typhoid fever last evening
about 80 o'clock at the residence of his
father, Col. Felix A. Reeve, assistant So
licitor of the treasury, at 1928 10th street
For about two years Capt. Reeve had
been stationed at the City Of Mexico as
military attache of the United States en-
bassy. The latter part of July he came to
this city on leave of absence for a short
visit to his father. He had not been here
many days when he became seriously in
disposed and was compelled to take to his
bed. That was in the early part Of Au-
gust. The physicians diagnosed the case
as typhoid fever and employed all the
means known to science to effect cure
and although the disease took several
favorable turns, the general tendency
was for the worse, and the end came last
night.
Although the funeral arrangements are
not yet completed it is settled generally
that services will be held in st. Matthew 8
that the interment will be in the Airing
ton National cemetery The usual mill
tary ceremonies will be observed.
Capt. Grote Hutcheson of Gen. Chaffee's
staff called upon Col. Reeve this morning
to ascertain his wishes respecting the
funeral of his son.
Capt Reeve was born in Tennessee.
February 4, 1869, and was graduated
from the Military Academy and appointed
second lieutenant of the Sd Infantry in
June, 1892. He reached the grade of cap
tain February 2, 1901. and was detailed
to the general staff in July. 1908. He was
on the staff of Gen. Bates in Cuba during
the Spanish War and afterward in the
Philippines. He was an officer of marked
ability, and his death is distinct loss to
the service First Lieut.. Ernest NJ. Reeve

ton. He explained his attitude In favor of
labor interests, in favor OF good roads and
of good schools. He said he represented
the democracy of the southwest, which, he
asserted. should be encouraged in its tight
against the strong republican organization
in that part of the state. Judge Williams
received liberal applause. The meeting
closed shortly after 10 o'clock.
MIR. Mackey's Reply.
Mr.. Mackeys comment to a Star reporter
today upon Mr.. Swanson's attack upon him
last night was as follows:
About two weeks ago 1 wrote four
column article. which was published in the
Roanoke Times. based upon the charges of
Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Bris-
tow concerning members of Congress.
This charge connected the name of
Mr.. Swanson with that of Beavers
in ten distinct cases of post office
frauds in Virginia. 1t was remarkable
that no other congressman In Virginia was
involved In the Beavers frauds. and no
other member of the entire House of Rep
resentatives. with two exceptions was so
many times involved as Mr. Swanson. In
my article l avoided all personal abuses,
knowing that a fact will circulate every
where and that IL needs the hand of no
person to give 1t currency. Since my
article was published Mr.. Swanson has
made six speeches In each speech he has
answered the article by personal detraction,
the weapon of moral weakness. l naturally
supposed that he would attack Mr..
Bristow and that he would attempt
to answer the facts which Bristow had
placed before the President. Almost every
newspaper tn Virginia has been demanding
that Swanson reply categorically and other
wise to the array of facts which Bristow
sets forth Some editorial writer's have
called on him to withdraw from the race
for governor His answers to all these
have been the epithets of malice. He
seems to have forgotten that kindness Is
strength and that good nature Is sometimes
mistaken for honesty. What the public In
Virginia wants to know Is not what kind
of a man Mackey is, but what kind of
man Candidate Swanson has shown himself
to be. The public Will not be satisfied with
anything less than an answer to the
charges of Mr.. Bristow.
