Platform Adopted


 The platform was adopted after an in order to allow the committee time to go over the paper. In many re- spects the platform is unique It charges that President Roosevelt has listened to the deceiver and soundly scores him for allowing his name to be suggested in view of the great honors given him by the party. The platform turns down the referendum. recall and others so- called progressive methods of govern ment. saying that they are at this time impracticable.
 portion of the platform follows
 The republicans of Alabama, in state convention assembled, do reaf- firm their allegiance to the principles of the national republican party as these have been enunciated by the na- tional conventions of the party. and do further declare their unshaken devotion to the existing system of American constitutional and representative gov ernment, and of their determined pur- pose to support, upholc and defend the same.
 That the republicans of Alabama are unalterabfy opposed to the efforts now being made to establish in this country pure democracy as a substi-
 
 tive institutions. and they will always oppose any change in their system of government whereby the restraints and checks upon the will and the ca price of the majority is sought to be overthrown.
 '1 Therefore be it resolved, That we do hereby register our opposition to the initi- ative, referendum and recall.
 70 Be 1t further resolved, That these vagaries are impracticable in A govern ment of parties such as exist in this coun- try and that no appreciable benefits could result from their adoption.
 '3 Be 1t further resolved. That every patriotic American should rally to the sup port of the constitution. laws. courts and governments of his country against the rising tide of revolution. which has swept into it's vortex some of the highest in the land.
 "A Be it further resolved that we will stand by the wise customs the written and unwrtten laws of the country md do express our unyielding opposition to a third presidential term. whether the terms are consecutive or after an intervening one.
 ..5 Be 1t further resolved, That we re- gret that ex-President Roosevelt who has been so signally honored by his party and has hitherto occupied so high a place in the confidence of his countrymen, should have listened to the deceiver. and made his announcement as candidate for he presidency upon such an anti-republican platform as his Columbus address.

Some Delegates Chosen


 The delegates elected to the national convention are the same who were named last August at the convention said to have been demanded by Pres ident Taft to settle the Thompson- Barker feud.
 After Chairman Long called the con vention to order by paying hls re- spects to the ex-offlceholders. he said the people were opposed to these eX- offlceholders. some of whom had beer removed or failed at appointment, and were consequently disgruntled and were fighting the regulars. He lauded President Taft. saying that he has made good In every way and Is entitled to the profound respect of all republic ans
 J. B. Sloane was elected temporary chairman of the convention, while S. T. Wright was appointed temporary sec retary. Subsequently the temporary of ficers were permanently elected.
 The temporary chairman paid his re- spects to President Taft and mentioned former President Roosevelt. who is seeking renomination. The latter, he declared, was seeking 10 sit himself up as constitutional government. Mr. Sloane appealed to the republicans to lay aside for the time being the pro- posed primary proposition. designating such as temporary measure designed for a purpose and wholly irregular.
 After making his short address, promising to handle the convention the best he knew how, the following com mlttee chairman were appointed:
 Alex Birch, on credentials w. Fl. Freeman, on permanent organization :; P. D. Barker. on order of business N F. Stratton. on resolutions. and J. $. Bass on expenses

Several Speak for Referendum

Several delegates spoke in favor of the referendum, pointing out the recent sltua- ton in Birmingham, where "a corporation was about to fasten upon the people a 10 year contract and would have succeeded but for the action of the voters"
 Judge Longshore of Shelby, who fav- ored the referendum, did not look with favor upon the recall. His progressive ut teranees were signals for great applause at one stage of the game, attributed to the Roosevelt following in the chamber.
 The meeting adjourned shortly after the conclusion of Judge Longshore's ad- dress.
 The only disturbing feature of the Taft convention yesterday is the shadow of Rooseveltism that looms up for the 18th of the present month. At that meeting 1t is generally known that the question of calling a regular convention will be taken up. MN fIl
 The Roosevelt followers base their po- sition upon the action of the national committee in declaring void the August selection Of delegates, which was .eaf- fiimed yesterday afternoon. The Roose- vel. men think the whole organization is void and give it as their opinion that when the national delegates appear be- fore the national convention that the Roosevelt delegates to be selected at a meeting subsequent to the March 16 meeting will be seated They claim that as the delegates of the August meeting were declared void, then the election of P NJ Long as chairman is also void. The result will be watched with keen in-

If you will kindly reread my letter. you will see that sim ply requested you to present the matter before your convention, and I am sending you herewith copy of a resolution which will be presented at the meeting of your convention today by some delegate therein who has keener sense of fairness and party interest than you.
 You go out of your way to alude to the action of the recent meeting of the republican district executive com mittee of this. the Ninth Congressional district, and to vouchsafe in that re- gard a statement which is absolutely untrue. that either [ alone or in con nection with anyone else engineered a split You say you recall distinctly this alleged charge but the fact Is thai you were not even present before the committee and could not recall that which you do not know Had you been present you would have known that the meeting of the committee resulted in a distinct bolt by the followers oi your faction.
 This matter is not all gcrmane to the question which I presented to you in my letter, the only purpose of which is clearly to give the great masses of republicans of the state an opportun- ity of expressing their choice in a presidential contest for whatever can- didate they may prefer l am yours very truly.
