Senator Burrows's declaration that the
American people are honest and that those

An expression OF approval was also gwen
to that part where Senator Burrows read
President Roosevelts letter to Secretary
Cortelyou wherein tho President con-
graduated the Secretary Of the Treasury
conducted the affairs Of the Government
during tho financial panic Last fall.
KIND WORD FOR coRrELYoU
Senator Burrows's reference to Secre-
tary Cortelyou was as follows:
CONSERVATION prevailed. confidence was
shaken. and nothing but the prompt and
heroic action OF the Secretary Of the Treasury
averted widespread and serious catastrophe.
President Roosevelt well said In commencing
the Secretary Of the Treasury:
Il congratulate you upon the admirable
way In which you have handled the present
crisis. congratulate also those conservative
and substantial business men who In this
crisis have acted with such wisdom and public
spirit. BY their action they did invaluable
service In checking tho panic which. begin
ming as matter of speculation. was threaten
ing to destroy the confidence and credit neces-
sary to the conduct Of legitimate business.
NO one who considers calmly can question
that the underlying conditions which make
up our financial and Industrial well being are
essentially sound and honest. Dishonest
dealing and speculative enterprise are merely
tho occasional In cidents of our real prosperity.
The action taken by you and by the business
men In question has been Of the utmost con-
sequence and has secured opportunity for
the calm consideration which must inevitably
produce entire confidence In our business
conditions"
In the closing part OF the Senator's speech
this was happily received:
The work Of this convention will soon be
concluded. The platform must voice the
sober thought Of the people and the candi-
dates nominated must stand upon II firm and
erect.
They must have the patriotism and sagacity
OF q Lincoln. the tenacity Of a Grant. the wis
dom and moderation Of Mckinley and the
courage Of q Roosevelt.
With such q platform and such candidates
the issue cannot be in doubt. The Republic
can party confidently submits its record to
the approving judgment OF the American
people and upon its renewed declar alton of
faith invokes continuance Of public favor.
CALL FOR COMMITTEES.
Secretary Molloy and his assistants then
began the call Of the delegations for their
representatives on the committees, inolud-
ing credentials, resolutions, rules and per-
mansnt organization. The delegates we're
impatient They did not want to wait TO
hear all that fudge which had already been
filed with the secretary OF the convention.
so Senator Lodge moved that the call be
dispensed with.
Temporary Chairman Burrows hoped
that Mr.. Lodge would modify his request
by excepting louisiana The national
committee had given the lily whites and the
anti-lily whites of the State equal honors
In the delegation. The delegation had
balloted and balloted, always with a tie
vote, and 30 Senator Lodge accepted Sena-
tor Burrows's suggestion and Louisiana
is without representation on the committees
OF the convention.
Representative J. Francis Burke intro
duced his resolution calling for reduction
OF Southern representation in the national
convention. II was referred to the commit
