The committee went into session Mt
.11:SO a. m and did not complete its
labors until after o'clock. 1t then
made it's report which upon the motion
Of II. z Baldwin was adopted as
whole
one of the most striking change i'm
the platform was the striking out OF
Governor Carriers name and not giving
him any credit for the administration.
1t is said that the action cost the COM
mittee some two hours of time.
All of the suggestions made by the
business men at their meeting on the
roof garden of the Young Hotel were
embodied in the platform as adopted.
They provide for a commission to be
appointed on taxation, the assistance
of the Promotion Committee and ap-
propriations for the Board of Health.
over the matter of the elections of
representatives and elective officers of
the Territory there was considerable
discussion. The clayfe in the platform
was not changed but the following
resolution was read in connection with
| it.
Whereas, the election law of this
Territory requires amendment i'm many
particulars to meet existing conditions.
Resolved, that the Governor be re-
quested to forthwith appoint a COM
mission to consider and revise said
law. and to make report prior to the
next regular session of the legislature.
Resolved, that a copy of this reso-
luton be forwarded to the Governor"
Before the platform committee had
made their report A. G. NJ. Robertson
called a caucus of the Fourth District
delegates to consider the matter, as he
did not believe that it would pass the
convention. 1t was passed however
! together with the resolution.
AS soon as the platform had been
read to the convention, H. P. Baldwin
sprang to his feet and said in part:
Gentlemen of the Convention, I do
not believe that this body can improve
upon the platform, as it has been of
fered to us by the committee. They
are all of them learned men and they
have spent several hours i'm discuss
ing it and have made their report 1
move the adoption of the platform as a
whole"
Amid a storm of cheers the motion
was carried.
