the opening session Of the Virginia State Republi-
can Convention tha first during the Taft admin
fsration to-day told the delegates that the party
in his judgment, had the best chance for victory
I'm the approaching governorship campaign that 1t
ever had.
During the framing Of the tariff law" said Mr..
sIemp, I'VE saw Democratic Virginia asking
favors Of Republican Congress; heard our
senior Senator CAIr DanieD pronounce himself
protectionist and We have seen his party unani-
mously ndorse his candidacy for another term.
The Democratic orators used to throw rocks at
Us because vSe were robbing the people by our
iniquitous taTih provisions. Now thsy say they
must share in the plunderf
The convention was strictly Lily White"
gathering The solitary negro in the house. a
spectator, occupied the gallery all by himself The
pjctures Of both Taft ard Roosevelt were cor-
snicuous by their absence, the portraits Of Wash
ington, Lincoln and Grant and generous quantity
Of flags and bunting composing the decorations
This was not intentional, however. Pictlres of
Taft and other prominent Republicans had been
ordered but failed to arrive. and not n likeness
of either Taft or Roosevelt 10 be had in town.
Later several negro delegates came in but they
remained In the background and were almost lost
among the white delegates. Following the address

Tonight Representative McKinlay, OF California,
and Ormsby McHarg. Assistant Secretary Of Com
merce and Labor addressed the convention, the
former the tariff and the latter on immigration.
This gathering has been regarded in advance as
a sort of thermometer Of Republican sentiment
AS though measured by Fahrenhelt-it was about
90 degrees in the convention hall to-day-the mer-
curry expanded with each mention Of President
Tafts name. Roosevelt also came in for his snare
Of the mention and corresponding acclaim.
AT late hour tonight it uncertain whether
the nominee for Governor would be Representative
Slemp or William p Kent OF Wythe. When Mr..
Slernp's name mentioned at tO-nights session
by Assistant Secretary McIIarg the strongest
man the party could put up for the office, IT WAS
greeted with salvos of applause, and afterward the
leaders stated that Mr. SemP could have the NOM
i,-ation if he wanted It. Mr.. Slemp said, however,
that he did not for the nominate but strong
efforts still were made to induce him TO accept It
His friends contended that his nomination would
be pleasing to the administration.
