Have Pictures Taken.

1.-THE secretary will make an announce
ment" Instantly John Malloy of Ohio,
who has a marvelously strong voice,
stepped to the front and informed the
convention that a fashlight was about
to be taken and urging that all remain
quietly in their seats as there would be
no danger to any. He indicated the
point of the convention hall at which the
camera was located and as it was in
the rear of the hall the delegates made
a scramble to get into the picture with
their faces instead of their backs.
Chairman New then spoke as follows:
'"The hour has arrived for the repre-
sentatives of the Republican party to
meet in its fourteenth national convention
at the end of almost twelve consecutive
years of the most brilliant administration
in the history of the world. There are
those present in this audience today who
participated in the party's first conven-
ton and the accomplishments of that par
ty within so brief a span as the life OF
men yet living are almost beyond belief.
We are here to assert our pride IN what
has been done, to approve the achieve
ments of the past and more especially to
commend and endorse the administration
of Theodore Roosevelt and those policies
which under his splendid administration
have become known to the people of this
land as the policies of square DEAL
Cheer Roosevelt's Name.
His mention of the name of President
Roosevelt was greeted with an outburst
of cheers, which, however, continued but
for few seconds. Mr.. New introduced
Bishop Muldoon of Chicago, who recited
with CLEAR resonant voice, the Lords
Prayer
At the conclusion of the reading of
the call of the convention, there was
some applause. Chairman New an
nounced that the national committee had
recommended Senator J. c. Burrows Of
Michigan for temporary chairman.
A cheer came from the Michigan dele
cation, in the midst of which Chairman
New recognized Representative Olmstead
of Pennsylvania, who moved that the
recommendation of the committee be
adopted.
John W. Blodgett, chairman of the
Michigan delegation, seconded the mo-
ton and it was unanimously adopted.

the speakers He bowed his acknowl-
edgments and began his Keynote" ad-
dress at 12:34 p. N.
Senator Burrows opening words were
spoken in a modulated, but distinct tone:
He constantly referred to the printed
COPY of his speech. He had been speak
ing about six minutes when he came to
the first mention Of President Roosevelt.
Senator Burrows evidently felt just
a little excited over the mention of the
President for he had some little difficulty
in pronouncing the well known name.
He was referring to the CONVENTION or
four years ago, "when," he said, "invok-
ing a continuance of public favor, the
party placed in nomination for the office
of President of the United States Theo-
belt '"The-a-roose."
The senator stopped, mumbled for
moment and said:
'"TheOre-.
Again he stopped and in the growing
wave of applause of those who recog-
nized for whom the name was intended.
he shouted: Theodore Roosevelt
The Demonstration Begins.
| At once demonstration began. Several
waved their hats, calling upon others
| to do likewise. North Carolina, Texas,
| West Virginia and Alabama led the cheer
ing, while the applause was general on
the floor and in the balcony. The cheer
| ing lasted nearly two minutes.
| Senator Burrows, in resuming, men
| toned Fairbanks name and there was
round of applause. The name of Abra-
ham Lincoln was received with general
but brief handclapping.
Elihu Root Cheered.
! Applause greeted the utterances ap-
| proving President Roosevelt's policy in
| relation to public lands and an additional
handclapping followed the senator's ex-
pressed regret that the ship subsidy had
| failed. The mention of Ehhu Roo as
! ''that matchless secretary of state"
| brought the New Workers to their feet
with cheers and waving flags and hand
| kerchiefs.
The delegates of Ohio and Maine led
! in the applause following that portion
of the address which favored the estab-

praise given to the management of the
| insular possessions was heartily ap-
| proved by the convention as a whole.
Scattered cheers and applause were
called out by the speakers reference to

was second in strength among the ma
vies of the world, but second to none in

Injunction Question UP.
| The struggle that is going on over the
adoption of an anti-injunction plank
found a place in today's proceedings
| when an Outburst of tumultuous cheering
greeted Senator Burrows declaration
that: ''The Republican party has no
sympathy WIN lnaI spirit winch WouI0
divest the courts of their constitutional

The demonstration was probably the
most enthusiastic of the session and
was in part repeated when a little fur
Their on in his speech Senator Burrows
! spoke of the refuge which always could
| be found in the supreme judiciary.
Speakers Voice Weakens.
Senator Burrows covered the last half
of his address in much less time than
he did the first, and at times his voice
| could not be heard two feet away.
After the address was concluded, the
convention began perfecting the tenn
porary organization by calling delega-
lions to name the members of the vari-
| Gus committees.
Adjourn Until Wednesday.
