STRONG PLATFORM ADOPTED
Two Efforts Were Made to Have the
Name of Roosevelt Substituted For
That of Taft in the Instructions to
the Delegates.

eight delegates to the Republican ma
tional convention were instructed for
Taft by both the State and Congress
sional conventions. The three con-
ventions were absolutely in the con-
troll of the Taft people, under the
management of Senator Fulton's
friends. The fight was whether Full
ton could secure delegation instuct-
ed for Taft or whether Senator Jona-
than Bourne could secure an unin-
structed delegation which would sup
port the second elective term for
President Roosevelt. The Bourne peo-
pie were defeated at every point, in
organization, delegates and presiden-
tial electors. 1t was Bourne's desire
to head the delegation. Late in the
afternoon after the convention had
passed the resolution instructing for
Taft, Bourne wired from Washington
urging that the delegation be in
structed for Roosevelt and stated that
If they were otherwise instructed he
did not wish to be a delegate.
The delegates elected by the state
convention were Seneator Fulton,
George H. Williams of Portland; A..
N. Gilbert of Salem; c. G. Huntley of
Oregon City.

sters of Douglass county.
Two efforts were made to have
the name of Roosevelt substituted for
Taft in the instruction to the dele
gates and one to substitute the name
of Hughes. Each of these motions
was voted down. The state platform

ton; favors tariff revision along

Bith men are well qualified for the

Reports from Carson City indicate

Political exigencies are said to be at
the bottom of the reports of changes,
which none can specify at this time.
