consumed in 1903 1924 million bales,
while in 1907 they required more
than five millions.
| our exports of manufactures ad-
vanced from A6S million dollars In
| 1908 to 740 millions in 1907.
| Our imports of raw material for
use in domestic manufacture increas-
! ed from $40 million dollars in 1903
| to 477 millions in 1907, while our ex-
| ports in the calendar year of 1907
were nearly two billion dollars, an
! increase of 80 per cent over those of
! four years ago.
! The mills and factories temporarily
! closed by reason of financial disturb
ances are rapidly resuming operations,
! calling labor back to profitable en-
: ployment.
This record of material activity in
field and forest. factory and farm,
mines and mills during the last four
years might be Indefinitely extended
! but this is quite sufficient to show
the development and robust condition
of our Industrial life.
The nine great executive depart
ments of the government, through
which the head of the nation speaks,
and acts, have advanced with steady
and resolute steps within the sphere
OF their activities, presenting record
of achievements during the last four
years of intelligent and progressive
administration unexampled in the
| history of the government.
Burrows completed his remarks at
1912. Applause greeted his remarks
approving President Roosevelt's pol
| icy in relation to public lands and al
ditional hand clapping followed the
senator's expressed regret that the
ship subsidy had failed. Mention of
Elihu Root as that matchless secre-
! tary of state" brought the New York
ers to their feet with cheers and wav-
! ing flags and handkerchiefs. Ohio
| and Maine led the applause following
that portion of the address favoring
the establishment of a merchant ma
rine and the praise given the manage
ment of the insular possessions was
heartily applauded by the convention
\ as a whole,
! The struggle which is going on over
| the adoption of the anti-injunction
plank was found in today's proceed
| ings when an outourst of applause
!
Republlcar party had no sympathy
! with tina, spirit which would divest
! the courts of their constitutional pow
ers or impeach their integrity
The demonstration was probably
the most enthuiastic of the session
j and was repeated a little later when
| Burrows spoke of the refuge that al
ways could be found in the supreme
! judiciary.
! Burrows voice was not sufficient to
make himself heard throughout the
| great hall, and during the latter part
| of his speech little attention was given
| him by those seated at distance.
Burrows had been speaking about
six minutes when he mentioned
Roosevelts name. He was a bit ex-
cited and had difficulty in making
himself understood, but when the
delegates understood what he was
trying to say they began a demonstra-
ton led by North Carolina, Texas and
West Virginia. Burrows resumed
when the applause subsided and men
toned Fairbanks and there was a
round of applause.
When the applause subsided at the
end of his speech the names of the
nounced and the convention adjourn
ed until tomorrow.
Delegates Comfortable.
Early today crowds began moving
towards the Coliseum, although the
chairnans gavel was not to fall until
noon. California led the parade to
the convention hall this morning, fol-
lowed by Colorado, Nevada, Washing
ton and Hawaii. Those who gained
early admission to the convention hall
found the interior scene of simple
beauty and order.
Twelve thousand seats filled every
availablc inch of space save suffi-
cient for aisles and entrance, yet there
was no appearance of crowding. There
was Just enough decoration not to in
terfere with light and ventilation. Am
pie exits were plainly marked and
other precautions taken for the com

audience.
Today's program Is essentially pre-
liminary, but when Chairman Harry
S. New of the national committee
dropped his gayel at midday it was
to initiate plans as nearly perfect as
were ever ready at the outset OF

morning, throughout the day and
after adjournment of the preliminary
session, the leaders continued their

settled. Platform polishing, and more
