Conferences to Follow.

thence to Cincinnati to attend the

again." shouted the delegates. The
speaker took off his coat and then maid
his compliments to the late Herman
Raster of Illinois, author of the per-
Sonal liberty plank of the 1872 Repub-
lican platform. This plank, known as
the "6Oth plank was denounced bv
Mr. Patton He read a letter from
Wade II. Ellis, attorney general of
Ohio, author of much of the Republi-
can platform of this year, declaring
that he could find nothing in the Goth
plank Inconsistent with Republican
doctrines"
Caught with the goods" shouted
someone in the audience. Mr. Patton
said that Mr.. Ellis knows what Boss
Cox of Cincinnati wants and would
not oppose his wishes
president Taft knows the same"
said the speaker and a laugh greeted
the title given the Republican candi-
date and lie corrected himself hastily.
Passing from the Republican party,
Mr.. Patton spoke of that very talka-
tive man from Lincoln" and said that
in the last 1G years Mr. Bryan "has
championed everything loose under the
sun in the way of a political issue ex-
cept the prohibition question"
The decided impression made by the
speech of Temporary Chairman Patton
resulted in an almost Immediate move
ment to make him the Presidential
nominee.
