The chairman's table, bearing a.
brass plate inscribed to inform all
that the table was occupied by the
chairman four years ago, when Will
lam Howard Taft was nominated,
stands about a third of the way from
the south end of the rectangular hall,
on a dias. Back of 1t are the seats
of the national committee and the
space for the workers and those
who helped to finance the gathering.
At its side are grouped 500 seats for
newspapermen, where every word
may be heard distinctly and licked
away to 30, 900, 900 Americans. and
many times more persons of other

ton, and that there is no precedent,
every precedent must have a begin
ming. And in order to live that pre-
cedent must be decided in accord
with the ternal principle of right and
wrong. This, my friends, l repeat,
is a question of principle, rather
than of precedent"
"There a never come before a
great national convention of this
great party of ours a question of more
vital Importance than the question
you now are called upon to deter
mine,'' said Governor Fort.
In 1880, when a question was raised
as to the right of the convention 10
pass on it's temporary roll, the con-
vention was declared to hold the
mower to determine these questions.
Mr.. Fort followed the example OF
Governor Hadley in addressing his
argument to the delegates, rather
than to the chair.
Governor Fort did not get far In
his argument before the crowd began
TO laugh and interrupt him with cries
of "Sit down."
He had made the mistake of an
swering the galleries, which clearly
held a big preponderance of art
svmpathizers. The Roosevelt people
claimed they were packed. Mr.. Fort
was constantly in trouble after that.

La Toilette Men
GuardPldffOrm

CHICAGO, June 1S.-The La Fol-
lette platform has been completed.
and is being carefully guarded. The
La Toilette managers are fearful that
features of the document might be
stolen by opposing platform builders
If the contents we're made known be-
fore the platforms of Roosevelt and
President Taft become public prop
erty.
The platform was prepared by Pro-
fessor c. E. Mccarthy, head of the
Wisconsin Reference Library; Pro-
lessor John r. Commons, of the Uni
versity of Wisconsin, and Senator
Walter C. Owens.
Philip La Toilette. 17-year-old son
of the presidential candidate, has
been energetic at his fathers head

badges. Mrs. George Middleton, of

also is here in the interest of hel

of the late Senator Dolliver.

story" of the momentous Republican
convention of 1912 was streaming out
to the newspapers of the civilized
world.
1t hardly seemed possible that the
hall, huge as 1t looked, could hold
nearly $4,000 persons, yet that is only
q few more than the total-other
published figures to the contrary not
withstanding-that the Coliseum will
hold as arranged for this convention.
Seats. platform, press benches, aisles.
runways, etc, are figured to hold a
total of 1870 persons. This total in
cludes 1870 in the body of the hall,
1890 on the platform, $50 sergeants-
alarms. 500 policemen and 400 mes
sengers, ushers and pages.
When the New Jersey delegation
entered the hall 1t took up the cry
West Virginia had shouted-"Rah,
rah, rah."
Led by a stalwart "yell master"
the New Jerseyites shouted;
"Rah, rah. rah. Who are we?
we are the delegates from New
Jer-see.
Are we in 1t? Just you wait.
IT'LL we give Teddy twenty-eight
straight"
From all parts of the hall TIE rival
yells urst forth. The music from the
band up nea the roof of the great
hall was drowned in the @cries from
the well-drilled delegations.
The band swinging into Dixie
and the Taft negro delegates from
Florida climbed up on their chairs
and sang. When the song concluded
they shouted a yell OF defiance at the
Roosevelt delegates from New Jersey
seated across the aisle.
A moment later the J~erseyites re-
turned the yell as the band struck UP
Marching Through Georgia." A scat
tered cheer greeted the song.

In These Days No Merchant Can
Be Successful Unless He
Represents You


merchant were commercial enemies and that you were his legiti-
mate prey.
Such things as a definite price or the returnabiliy of merchan-
disc Or a guarantee of good faith would have been considered
foolhardy.
I Now, out of all this chcanery, this crossroads bartering, this
wordold hostility of buyer and seller, have come the clean, whole
some, trustworthy institutions of the present day.
And the one great factor that has brought this change about is
Advertising. And the reason for this is that a man is naturally
far more careful of what he writes than of what he merely says.
Today you walk into a store with as much confidence as you
would enter your own home. You feel that every possible safe
guard is thrown about you for your protection. The merchant
where he once was your commercial enemy, has become your bust
ness representative. Your pleasure is his command. He will do
anything within reason to meet your smallest request. Even the
manufacturers and big distributors have caught this feeling that
they must represent you, or you will not patronize them.
This is the great thing that Advertising has done for trade.
And the peculiar part of it IS that you feel this safety, this relia-
biity, this surety of fair play only toward those who advertise.
That is why the advertising columns of this paper should mean
so much to you. That is why you should make this advertising a
part of your daily news.
That is why you should begin to read it today, and continue to
read it every day for everything you buy.
