There never will be another Re-

that the people TO longer will

the national committee the power

Inevitably, also, the convent on at ,
Baltimore will prove the same con-

aegment of the speedy settlement

we favor an amendment to the law
that will ressonably extend the
time within which the cost of any
reclamation project may be re-
paired by the land owners.
We challenge successful criticism
of the l s years of Republi, an ad-
ministration under Presidents Nc
Kinley, Roosevelt and Taft We
heartily reaffirm the indoI sment of
President Mckinley contained in the
platform of 1904 ard 1908.
We invite the intelligent judg-
ment of the American people upon
the administration Of William H.
Taft. The country has prospered
and been in peace under his presi-
denCy During the yeaIs in which
he had the cooperation of Republi
can congress an unexampled amount
of constructive legislation was
framed and. passed in the interest
of the people ard in obedience to
their wish. That legislation is
record on which any admintration
might appeal with confidence to
the full judgment of history.
We appeal to the American e'ec-
tcrate upon the records of the Re
publican party and upon this de-
claraticn Of its principles and pur-
poses.
We are confident that under the
leadership of the candidates here
to be nominated our appeal will
net be in vain, but thac
the Republican party will meet
every just expectation of the peo-
pie whose servant it is, that I'M
der its administration and its laws
oum naticn will continue TO ad-
vance, that peace and prosperity
will abide with the people and that
new glory will be added TO the
great republic.

The cub sport writer says to
call it ball game would be a mis-
nomer, and that the dramatic edi-
tor should have covered the
event instead. Here is what he
wrote: Tuesday evening at
the ball park there was staged a
modern version of the great play
The Comedy of ErrcIs," when the
Hartleys defeated the Presbyter-
ians by a score of IL to 10. Critics
bunch of actors were the stars
in the number of errors made, the
Hartle!s furnished the villain and
all of them took a turn at the
comedy parts. The Offering con-
sisted of seven acts, ard the
house was in continual uprOar
from the time the curtain went
up until the lights went out. Each
actor was a good comedian and the
pranks they played We're of new
and unheard CT variety. Wilson
did the heavy work for the Hart
ley's and presented the church boys
6ith 8 walks to tiIst bag, and
he hook was given to 13 Pres
JyteriaIs. Six of Har+ley's men
refused to make an appearance at
first.
The Presbyterisrs opened the
show by taking 3 rurs and the
followed with 4.

port of the national committee re-
commenting Alton B. Parker for
temporary chairman w. j. Bryan
nominated Senator John w. Kern
for the place in a ringing speech
that was interruI ted by continued
and tumultuous cheering. Another
delegate placed Bryan in nomination
amid an uproar that necessitated
calling on the police TO clear the
aisles. Byran in his speech ap-
preached the cross CT gold" eli

al conventions of a simaliar char
acter. There never will be another
Republican national convention like
the one just past, or like the one
of four or CT eight years ago
of those of sixteen or twerty years
ago, for the reason that the poll
tical system that made conventions
easily possible in the past and
barely possible now has changed.
The old politics is gone. The old
politicians have been shifted out
of power. A new generation is
almost in command, a new idea
prevails, a new system is in pre-
gress of development.
The Republican party is no longe.
a cohesive lighting definite or
ganization. Instead it is really
two parties, standpat, or conserva,
tive party and a rs deal, or pro-
gressive party. There is not the
slightest doubt if there had been
primaries in all the states instead
of in few of them the cd crowd
would have az pitifully rmall re-
presentation, no matter whether Mr..
Roosevelt was candidate or not.
If a census could be made it wou.
be found that the radical element il
the Republican party is not so
much greater than the conservative
element, as has been asserted. Their
are many Conservative Republicans,
but even the conservatives are fully
alive to the defi, iencies of the pre-
sent system, and many of them
are as anxious for readjus tment as
the progressiyes. The fact of it
all is that the Republicans, con-
servatives ard progressives, have
beyond the method of
twenty years ago, and that neither
wing is wholly in sympathy with
the present methods.
1t is quite probable that before
il comes time to nominate another
candidate for the presidency enough
other states will have adopted the
preferential primary system to make
whatever convention shall be held
rverely a ratification meeting, about
