Fairbanks name, and there was a round
of applause The name OF Abraham Lin
coin was received with general, but brief
handclapping
Seant Attention Paid to Speaker.
There are few men in the country whose
voices are capable of reaching the utter
most limits of the Chicago coliseum, and
IL is no dispaFa cement on the vocal pow
ers of Senator Burrows 20 say tina he is
not one of them. Before he had been
speaking fifteen minutes, therefore. news
paper representatives made their appear
ance in the far galleries and special ors
who could not hear the speech in detail
showed that the convention details of yes
terday possessed for them greater at
traction than those iranspiring within
eyesight and beyond earshot. This situa-
ton was not due TO dearth of excitement
in the address of Senator Burrows, but to
physical obstacles which prevented 1t
from reaching the galleries.
Cheers for Root.
Applause greeted the utterances approx
ing President ROoseVelt's policy in Fela-
ton to public lands and additional hand
elapping followed the senator's expressed
regret that the ship subsidy had failed.

the address which favored the establish
ment of a merchant marine and the
praise given to the management of the
! insular possessions was heartily applauded
| by the convention as a whole
The words mo flag will take the place
of the American flag, but the flag of
American independence was the signal
| for an especially hearty Outburst Of APP
plause. Scattered cheers and applause
were called out by the speakers reference
to the American. which he declard was
second in strength among the navies of
the world, but second to none in effec-
| tVeness of craftsmanship.
The struggle that is going on over the
adoption of an anti-injunctiOn plank
found place in tOday's proceedings,
when an outburst of applause greeted
Senator Burrows declaration that the Re
publican party has no sympathy with that
spirit which would divest the courts of
| their constitutional powers or impeach
their integrity.
The demonstration was probably the
most enthusiastic of the session, and was
in part repeated when a little further on
iii his speech Senator Burrows spoke of
the refuge which always could be found
in the supreme judiciary.
Busy Senator Crane.
Senator Crane moved about on the con-
VentiOn floor when the temporary chair
man was speaking. He went often TO the
! sections occupied by the Indiana, Illinois
and Pennsylvania delegations
Senator Burrows referred but briefly to
the question OF tariff revision, his state
ment that the revision, if made, would
not be such as to extinguish the fire i'm
single American mill or deny Just an
| adequate protection to American industry
and labor. being the signal for the APP
piause of his hearers.
The mention of the third term idea was
greeted with applause. which was inten-
| sltled later when he narrated the qualifi-
cations desirable in the party candidate

| hour and nine minutes and a terrific out
burst of applause greeted him as he fin
I ished. The band instantly struck I'D a
patriotic melody and the delegates rising
to their feet cheered the music literally.
Burrows Too Long-Winded.
The allusiOn to Secretary Cortelvou in
that portion of the address relating to the
recent financial disturbance brought out
| a rev handclaps, but only a few heard
the speaker. Senator Burrows is not a
rapid-fire talker and after talking for
forty minutes he has gone through lust
| halt OF the address. Such portions of his
great audience as were able to hear him
were still and attentive but in the farther
portions of the hail some restlessness was
apparent and a few spectators a odd mo-
ments filtered through the doors to the
street outside.
When Senator Burrows mentioned the
| name OF the president in connection with
the San Domingo incident. an Ohio dele
gate gave a little Chirrup that evoked
much laughter and caused some interrup-
| ton to the speaker. The senator was
| himself by this time speaking with much
! less Vigor than at first and frequently
| at the close of sentences his voice was
| indudible to people sitting within two feet
| of him.
Some of the latter portions Of the speech
We're omitted.
