TARIFF REVISION
And Hot Contest for Lieutenant Gov
ernor At Republican Convention.

Boston, Oct. "a demand for sub
stantlal tariff revision, a three cOrncred
contest for the nomination for lieuten-
ant governor and Il remarkable contest
Ter the nomination for attorney general
with five wcll-known lawyers as aspir-
ants. indicated, tonight, that the
Massachusetts Republican convention.
which Will be held. tomorrow. in this
city, will be one of the most interest
ing as well as enthusiastic conventions
in the history of the party The con-
test for attorney general rests almost
entirely upon the personality of candi-
dates, but that for lieutenant governor
is intimately connected with the tariff
revision demand which will undoubted-
ly be placed before the convention.
Eben S. Draper of Hopedale, is the
candidate for lieutenant governor on
the protection platform, while Freder-
icll S. Hall of Taunton, will ask for
support as the representative of the
reciprocity wing of the party. The third
candidate is Col. A. H. Goctting of
Springfield.
For several hours, this afternoon, the
committee on resolutions of the con-
vcntion listened TO suggestions as to
what the platform should contain. The
subcommittee of the committee of 100
on reciprocal trade, appeared and urged
the recommendation that hides. coal,
iron ore, lumber ana wood pulp be
placed by Congress upon the free list.
Late tonight, the committee gave out
the following statement:
THE platform declares that the policy
of protection to American labor and
American industries should be maintuIn-
cd. 1t recognized that tariff rates should
be changed when conditions are so chang
ed that the public interest demands II,
and that the time of such revision must
b" determined by the representatives OF
1t approves the position taken by our
senators and representatives at the last
session of Congress in favor of present
action and urges that they should con
tinue to press upon their party associates
the wisdom of Il ConSidcra ton of the tar
if for the purpose of revision and read
1uStment. 1t further recommends for the
consideration of the Congress the enact
mcnt Of n tariff provision which shall
protect our exports aSalES. dlScriminl-
ton and secure to the United States til"
treatment accorded to the most favored
nations in all of the foreign markets"
The probability Of :; long drawn out
contest for attorney general together
with the divisions Oh the tariff question
and the nominations for lieutenant gov
crnor have impressed the committee on
arrangements with the fact that the con
Vention may not he concluded in one
days sitting. In this event the conven-
ton Will meet. Saturday, instead Of to-
morrow evening. Many ballots are looked
for before the attorney general nominal
ton is decided. Il ma iority going to one
candidate only by withdrawals or combi-
nations among the various candidates.
