CONVENTION IN DETAIL.
The formal proceedings of the Con-
yention were very brief, occupying only
about ten minutes, the electoral ticket
and the resolutions to be offered having
been prepared in advance. The resolu-
tions strongly endorse the administra
tion of President Taft and the admins
tration of Governor Goldsoorougn.
Ex-senator H. NJ Mccullough presided
over the convention and in opening 1t
made an earnest plea for harmony, say
Ing that III our ranks remain badly di-
yded il will mean the election of a
President who will cnange industrial
conditions, wiping out the prosperity
which began with the administration of
William Mckinley"
AS soon as the ticket had been named
and the resolutions passed, State Chair
man Hanna introduced Miss Helen Bos
We'l, leader of the Womans Auxiliary
90 the Taft campaign who seems to
have caught the delegates with a rattl-
ing speech.
Miss Boswell was followed by W. T.
whrburton, Esq, who made a strong
defense of the regularity or SIR. Taft s
nomination. declaring that before the
question of contested delegates at Chi
cago had been passed upon, Governor
Hadley announced in his (Warburton' 81
presence that Colonel Roosevelt was al
ready forming a new party and would
not be candidate before the Republican
convention. Asking further what reason
there is for making any change in our
political conditions, Mr.. Warburton said:
"Wnat is there my fellow citizens, to
change the result? AS former speaker
has said here, should there be a change
at this time? We have prosperity every
where and in every branch of business.
pneKampled prosperity is with US. In
dustfnl enterprises are all running on
full Tine Labor is employed at a good
wage. Money is plentiful for all legiti-
ihate businesses at a fair rate or inter-
est SO why should there be a change
What is this bogey that they are talking
about? Some demagogues are wander
ing around the country in order to make
the people believe that there is some
DOGGY in the country, that injustice is
peing done to somebody, that people are
peing imposed pBgn, that the people are
being ill-treated, that they are being d.
prived of their rights, that they are not
receiving fair treatment at the hands o
their government. Why, Iellow citizens
moments reflection shows you that al
such arguments are entirely false, and
care not who the man may be. care
not what distinguished position he ma!
nave held in the past or what distln.
guishel position he may now hold, | say
y without reservation, that any many
pish or low, whp goes abroad in The
country trying to stir up class hatred
and prejudice is a traitor to his country
and an enemy Of mankind
