 The credentials committee reported and a few proxies were added to fill al. vacancies except the missing counties, after which the temporary organization was made permanent Announcement was made that Graham county was in line but too late to be represented.
 The resolutions committee reported. There was but one amendment made to the report except the incident in which the Catholic church figured, and which has been recited above. That article was withdrawn as re- cited above. The other amendment
 was offered by Jack Greenway and added to the section demanding the
 election of senators by the people, another phrase providing for the election of postmasters also. The platform was then unanimously adopted. as were two special resolu- tions.
 The call had provided for three delegates to Chicago. One member of the convention suggested that as the fires of liberty are to be lighted there. Arizona should have as many delegates present as possible, each to return home with a flaming torch to help in setting the woods on fire. The idea was approved and as there were just fifteen men who wanted to bear a torch, all were placed in nomina ton, ratified and each was given one-fifth of a vote.
 J. F. Cleaveland was named for national committeeman.
 Claude D. Jones, who was still un- der the mesmeric influence of MT. Fisher, moved that that gentleman ! be directed to second the nOmina- l tion of Roosevelt for the Arizona | delegation, If the occasion seemed propitious It was decided to leave | the matter with the delegation.

 asked Dwight B. Heard, E. $. Clarl
 and J. C. Greenway to consent t
 the use of their names as presiden | tial electors. It was not learne' l whether they will consent to be tn
