operated with the national committee
on arrangements for the convention,

and made for business. A heavy gold
band was inscribed "Mr. Harry c..
New, chairman Republican national
convention, 1905"
Mr.. New expressed his appreciation
OF the gift, and at once announced
that Secretary Elmer Dover of the
national committee would read the call
of the convention. Mr.. Dover delegat
ed Mr.. Malloy of Columbus, O., one
OF the reading clerks, to do the read

the voice of the clerk

said

Mr.. Burrows was greeted with Ie-
newed cheers as he advanced TO The
speakers stand. Simultaneously with
Mr.. Burrows appearance at the speak
ers' table an immense oil painting Of
President Roosevelt was unveiled at
his right. The tableau brought forth
burst of enthusiasm. AS Mr.. Bur.
rows began to speak the picture was
removed and the sole attention of the
immense gathering was devoted to the
Michigan statesman. The more strik-
Ing sentences of his speech were lib
orally applauded. When he reviewed
in figures the increased business of
the country during the past four years
and announced the enormous sum Of
gold accumulated in the national treas
ury the convention became enthus-
iastic.
He turned his attention to the ad-
ministration's regulation of trusts, and
when he said: But no honest indus
try has been hampered," there was a
round of approving applause. The dec
laration that those corporations that
had encroached on the rights Of the
public had been curbed to an extent
never before known also pleased the
convention.

ment upon the record of the Republi-
can administrations" was the signal
for shout and applause.
