Its lm- RV ' y 'l petus was gained when the Indiana I' ! Til dolegatlon entoted the Coliseum and, led II j I " . j by the two Senators', Mr. Fairbanks tV and Mr. Beverldge, proceeded down the ti ' aisle to their seats nnar the stage. The ' , (h 1 ovation given Senator Fairbanks was h greater than wan received by any of his 1 ) F distinguished colleagues. Today's pro- ' ,! i,. ceedings afforded no opportunity for the : V'' Advancement of other candidates. No ! , '1 ... mention was made of the names of A ;'V other favorite sons, whose ambitions f llJI i are not taken seriously beyond the A 1 Lit boundaries of their own States. The i fXi 1 applause for Senator Fairbanks ap- j peared to be general. ' r ' Harmony Prevailed. Ijj1-,'''! The placidity of political opponents 1 ft i; ' ns they sat in the hall welded Into fl ) ;' ' substantial party citizenship, unanl- 'Jf ji znously agreeing on principles and dlf- I Y ' 1 ferlng only on non-essentials, was one J it'! , of the features of the convention. The I 3,y New York delegation, which occupied 11, a position of honor In front of the plat- jjj'i form, furnished a good example of thfi iMVu prevailing harmony. On the opposite in side of the center aisle, In equal com- 'j ' ,(' mand of the platform, was the Illinois Ii.r , delegation, wnicn naa a Diner ngm j jj 1 within Its ranks as late as yesterday, 'j i ; Today, If any soreness remained, to all , 1 , outward appearances It has been , i . healed. !n Showered Plaudits on Favorites. In"' i, I State pride figured strongly In the r convention. Each State hod its friends ' In the galleries, who showered plaudits j J upon their delegation as they entered i't . the Coliseum. The first "big man" to j 1 arrive was Senator Allison. The Iowa J ; contingent cheered its welcome and this ,1 , was taken up by surrounding visitors I j ( who recognized the Hawkeyc states- j ', ; ' man. Senator Depew, Senator Cullom, ' Speaker Cannon, Gen. Grosvenor, For- , mer Secretary Ellhu Root, Senator Pen- (1 1 rose, Senator Scott and other early nr- , 1 ' , rivals received their share of applause. Slipped in Unnoticed, j The floor filled .with delegates so rap- I ' Idly that many prominent figures ), 1 slipped in unnoticed. Among these was f Senator Lodge, who Is accredited with j j 1 having a more intimate knowledge of 1 '1 11 ; what the convention Is doing than any I" , I other man. Before the gathering was . u ' 1 1 called to order Postmaster-General t Payne, chairman of the Republican :(l', National committee, Senator Codge. jj moved about among the delegations, I and his car was sought continually by " embryonic platform makers. The Mas- c 1 sachusetts Senator never stopped long enough, however, to grow Intimate, .1 ( First Speeches Made. 1, A The first speech of the convention r I ', was by Senator Scott, who informally 1 presented to Chairman Payne a boautl- I . I ful gavel. It waa the gift of the Chl- 'ji' j cago Citizens' committee which co-op- ' It , ' erated with the National sub-committee 1 !( 1 , in making arrangements for the con- ventlon. Later Graeme Stewart, mem- J' 1 . ber of the National committee from I . Illinois, presented a similar gavel to ( " Temporary Chairman Root, l) ' ' President's Name Mentioned. U It was left to Gov. Van Sant of Min- 'N , 1' nesota to place the President's name 1 1 1 ( before the convention. He found the ' (Ji1 ; occasion In presenting to the conven- I j j tlon a table which had been built by 'u It the Manual Training school connected fl j with the South Minneapolis high I I, f, school. The applause wag general, but H i not long cpntlnued, and in that set a R'U.Lh precedent which was followed in suc- ,' ft . ceedlng demonstrations. ) " ' ' Delegates From Islands, j ' Today's programme of the convention ; , was not of a nature to effect more than t y ' ordinary Interest. The matter of great- , '' est importance was the presenting to j the convention of the proposition to ad- ( i 1 mlt the delegation fr6m the Philippine Vi ,J J Islands and Porto Rico. Mr. Root If?, j a3ked for a. ruling on the question of it"" , oalllng the names of the new posses- sions In the roll for the naming of mem- ' , j bers of the various committees. The convention ordered the seating and rec- 1 ognltion of six delegates from the Phll- , lpplnes, with two votes, and two dele- ! gates from Porto Rico, i j ( j Utah Woman Present. I I V t In the convention hall today there if v was one woman delegate who had the " ,, same right to vote that was held by I' '' each accredited male delegate. She was I' Mrs. Charles A. Eldredge of Colorado Springs, Colo., an alternate delegate 1 whose principal was absent. Other wo- ' men alternates present were Mrs. Owen t j E. Lefevrc of Colorado, Mrs. Susan I (. ,1 . West of Idaho, and Mrs. Jennie E. Nel- , 1 son of Utah, these States having wo- I , '1 man suffrage. H 1 I WILL BE NO CONTESTS. ' . : Everything Moves Smoothly in Na tional Convention of Republi cans at Chicago. H; ' . J .j ONVENTION HALL, - Chicago, (j t ' 1 I June 21. At 11 o'clock only ' l ji,. a few delegates and alter- 1 (t, nates, and practically none of j the men prominent In the control of the 1 . ' ' Republican party had put in an ap- H ''it pearancc at the hall. , j An array of doorkeepers was on guard at the various entrances and nu- meroua bodies of sergeants-at-arms H' were stationed at the commencement, W ; middle and fends of the alslo to guide fl the delegates to their seats. 1 Pictures of President. 1 It had been announced that the only H ( picture which would be seendn the con- H , t ventlon hall would be the portrait of the H i ' ( late Senator Hanna- which hung just H ' ' above the speaker's platform, but yes- 1 ' terday large engravings of President H 'I Roosevelt were placed, one at every al- H j ternate catch In the draped bunting H I ! that stretched around the celling. ' i i i The first applause to the incoming j delegates was a ripple of ''handclaps tl i, from the gallery given to Senator Alll- t! on of Iowa. Senator Dolllver of Iowa (. I came strolling down the center aisle H I j I- closely after Senator Alllcon had taken H his seat, and the men in the gallery H ' from Iowa broke out Into applause a Hj ' second time. H' k Welcome to Dopcw. H '1 )l, Chauncey M. Depew waa the recipient H'' r Pi of a hearty welcome as he came through f j, i ' the main entrance on the west Bide of H' J the building. The Senator walked down H ' ' I toward the platform entirely oblivious H 1 I of a doorkeeper who did not know him, H , and was entering to learn if he was H . i, I properly. entitled to the privileges of the 1 J ' I ' , hall. Half-way up to the eats of the 1 j it j New York delegation, just In the left l ' ': center of the left platform, the Senator waa overtaken and made to deljvcr. Following closely came "Uncle Joe" Cannon, a black felt hat Jammed down on his head. He was walking back and forth In the crowd In front of the plat form without attracting attention save for a few handshakes from Washington friends. When he removed his hat, the recognition by the galleries was instan taneous and the Speaker waa warmly greeted by the balconies and delegates. Delegates Come in Streams. By a quarter to 12 each entrance to the main floor of the great hall was pouring In a stream of delegates. They came in quietly, few delegations arriving in a body. Mingling with the strains of the band was a great, hum of conversation, but there was no disorder. The hall filled rapidly, but the galleries were slower and ten minutes before the hour set for the presiding officer's gavel to fall there was a wilderness of vacant chairs in the great balconies. Payne nnd Root Arrive.- A few minutes before 12 the Coliseum resounded with a burst of applause. It was the greeting to Henry C. Payne, the acting chairman, and Elihu Root of New York, the temporary chairman. They proceeded at once to tho platform. As Senator Fairbanks, at the head of the Indiana delegation, entered, the first ovation was tendered. A II 114 iu. ii.. r. i as, amid round after round of applause, and the first cheers to be heard, he worked his way to the seats of the In diana delegation, near the platform. Accident to Delegate. The first accident to any of the dele gations resulted In a serious injury to William Hodson, an alternate from Hastings, Minn., as he was about to enter the convention hall. Just as he alighted from a street car on the Wa bash avenue side of the building a cab approached. The horso struck Mr. Ilodson, who was knocked down and tho wheels of the cab passed over his left leg just above the ankle, producing a compound fracture. He was hurried at once to tho emergency hospital In the, annex to the Coliseum, where his leg was set and he was then removed to St. Luke's hospital. Ills condition ls not serious. Convention Called to Order. With three severe raps of the gavel Acting Chairman Payne called the con vention to order at 12:16. He then in troduced the Rev. Timothy Frost, pas tor of the First Methodist church of Evanston, HI,, who pronounced the opening prayer. His Invocation was as follows: Almighty God, our help In ages past, Our hope for years to come. Wo thank thee for thy goodness to tho peoplo of this land. Our pins have been many, but thy mercies have been sroat. Thou hast poured out thy gifts without measure. The opening years of a niw century have boon freighted with wealth for hand and mind and heart. Best of all, thou art glvlnp thyself In a perpetual of fering of thy life for tho life of man. Wo do not forget that in the hour of deep sorrow, when the heart of tho Nation wns darkened by the murder of tho Nation's chief, there waa no break in tho march of thy purpose, tho orderly administration of our government or the faith of the people In their God. Under the guidance of thy holy spirit wo have been brought by our national woes nearer to thuo. Surely thou wilt never forsake this peo ple. May no dominance of greed, no riot of passion, ho weakening of religious con viction or enthronement oX matlor over spirit cause the people to forsako thee. May tho heritage of honor coming to us from tho fathers In memories or noblo sacrifices and valiant deeds be at once our glad possessions rtnd our sacred trust While we are grateful for tho past, may wo remember that today Is" better than yesterday, and so act that the morrow shall bo greater than today Whcrev'er our country's flag floats as tho symbol of government, even unto tho Jsles of the; sea. may we cleave unto the righteousness that sealeth a nation and cast "out the Sin thnt Is a reproach to any people. Save our Nation, we beseech thee, from all the evil things which defile the home, Impair cIyII liberty, corrupt politics or un dermine the integrity of commercial life. Bring to naught the schemes of men who would debauch or oppress human life for tho gratification of lust or for personal enrichment or power. May exaltation come only to men who despise tho gain of oppressions and shake the hands .from holding of bribes May all sections and races, all creeds and sentiments, nil occu pations nnd Interests become united through tho spirit of tho highest Into a citizenship with a passion for righteous ness, wherein each Individual shall look up to God as tho father of all, and on every man ax a brother. We pray thee to overrule the delibera tions, conclusions nnd Issues of this con ventl6n for the good of tho American peo ple and the welfare of mankind. Bless thy servant, the Chief Magistrate of our Nation. May ho and all others clothed with authority by tho sovereign peoplo bo protected by the power of thy kingdom, and contribute to Its ultimate triumph and consummation In all tho earth. All nations aro thy children. Guldo and keep them by thy gracious providence, nnd hasten the coming of the day when lovo shall have conquered hate, and wars shall have ceased and all people shall dwell together !n unity. For thlno la tho kingdom and the power and tho glory for 'cvor. Amen. Mr. Payne announced that Secretary Elmer Dover of the national committee would read the call of the convention. Mr. Dover delegated Mr. Mallory of Ohio, one of the reading clerks, to do the reading. As he read a band played on the outside, tlb some extent drown ing the voice of the clerk. When he reached the signature of the call "M. A. Hanna," the convention broke Into spontaneous applause and cheers. Distinguished Guests on Platform. The apace behind the platform was reserved for distinguished guests and among those who occupied theso seats were Senators Alger, Charles Emory Smith, Gen, Grosvenor, Murat Halstead, Mrs. John A. Logan, William Alden Smith, JesM Overstreet, Secretary Shaw, Minister to Panama Barrett, James A. Towncy, Senator Dietrich, D. M. Ransdell, James A. Watson, George Edmund Fors, Joseph Hemenway, Sena tor Burrows, A.vsistant Secretary Arm strong, Charles B. Landls, Henry A. Cooper, Warner Miller, Elmer E. Bur kett, Mra Cullom and Mrs. Alger. Chairman Payne recognized Gov. Van Sant of Minnesota, to present the gavel used by the presiding officer. Roosevelt's Name Cheered. It was made by the members of the' South Minneapolis high school and he said had been used at Republican con ventions In Minneapolis, St. Louis and Philadelphia. He asked the chairman to use it for thin convention, which would nominate that fearless. Invinci ble leader, Theodore RoosevelL It was the first mention of the President's name in the convention, and the dele gates rose at the sound as one man. Cheers rang-through the hall and many men Bprang upon their chairs and waved hats, banners and handkerchiefs. After the npplauso had subsided Chairman Payne, in a few words, ex pressed thanks for the gavel. He then said: "Gentlemen of the Convention; The national convention has selected for your temporary chairman the Hon. Ellhu Root of New York." Cheers for Root. There was a great shout from the con vention which was prolonged when Gov. Odell of New York rose to move that tho action of the national commit tee be approved. Applause greeted Gov. Odell, and it was some moments before he could put his motion. It was at once adopted by the convention. Mr. Root was greeted with renewed cheers ns he advanced to tho speaker's stand, . "Mr. Chairman," ho said, "I am deep ly." Another burst of cheering cut him off. "I am deeply," resumed Mr. Root, when quiet was restored, and. this time he was permitted to proceed. Picturo of Roosevelt Is Unveiled. Simultaneously with ex-Sccrclary Root's appearance at the speaker's table an immense oil painting of President Roosevelt was unveiled at his right. The tableau brought forth a burst of enthusiasm. As Mr. Root began to speak the picture was removed, nnd the solo attention of the Immense gathering was devoted to the New York states man. He had hardly struck his stride when cries of "louder" were heard from far recesses of the hall. His voice soon gained power, however, and his well enunciated words rang well through the still hall. . Convention Is Enthusiastic. The more striking sentences of his speech Avere barely applauded. When he reviewed in figureB the Increase of the money of the country and an nounced the enormous sum of gold ac cumulated, tho convention became en thusiastic. All of these details and fig ures Mr. Root pronounced without ref erence to memorandum He turned his attention to the administration regula tion of trusts and when he said "but no honest Industry has been suppressed," there wan a sound of approving ap plause. The declaration that those cor porations which had encroached on the rights of the public had been curbed to an extent never before reached, also pleased the convention. His Attitude Striking. Mr. Root threw back the lapelB of his coat. He paced back and forth In a brief space, on the platform, and en forced his words with quiet gestures in which his index finger played an impor tant part. Discussing the Cuban question Mr. Root read the dispatch from President Palma to President Roosevelt when the Island was turned over. It was the first time ho had mentioned the President's name, and the convention grasped the opportunlt' to applaud. Shortly after ward he brought In the name of Secre tary Taft, which was also heartily ap plauded. Points of His Addres9. The administration's Panama canal policy received a round of npplausq when Mr. Root declared that "the weaklings would have postponed Its construction to another generation." Mr. Root's challenge of "Judgment on the record of the Republican adminis tration" was thfe signal for a shout and applause. Reverential silence prevailed as the speaker alluded briefly to the as sassination of President McKlnley, and again applause as his successor's record was reviewed. When he mentioned the name of the late Senator Hanna, the convention re sponded in a prolonged demonstration. Caused Great Demonstration. Mr. Root concluded his address with the words "Theodore Roosevelt," and these were magic to the delegates. The most marked demonstration of the ses sion ensued. The delegates climbed on the chairs and tossed hats""and handker chiefs Into the air. A white haired Irrepressible in the Connecticut delegation led off with his silk flag which he waved frantically. A number of the .national committeemen crowded around Mr. Root and shook his hand in congratulation, while' the or chestra rendered a medley of the na tional airs. Temporary Officers Approved. The roll of temporary officers of the convention was then read by the clerk, and approved by the convention. They arc ad follows: General secretary Charles W. John son of Minnesota. Clerk at president's desk Asher C. Hinds. Maine. Official reporter Milton W. Blumcn berg. District of Columbia. Tally clerks Fred B. Whitney, Illi nois; George W. Dixon, Nebraska; Lu clen Swift, Jr., Minnesota. Messenger to the secretary Henry F. Daniels, Wisconsin. Messenger to the chairman Guerley Brewer, Indiana, Sergeant-at-arms William F. Stone, Maryland. First assistant sergcant-at-arms David C. Owen, Wisconsin. Chief of doorkeepers Charles S. Mon tell, Maryland. Chaplains First day. Rev. Timothy P. Frost; second day. Rev. Thomas E. Cox; third day. Rev. Thaddeus A. Snlvcly, all of Illinois. Temporary Rules. . Senator Carter of Montana presented thp following resolution: "Resolved. That until a permanent organization Is effected, this convention be governed by the rules of the last natlonnl Republican convention." This was adopted. Speaker Cannon asked unanimous consent that as soon as a State was called, Its list of committeemen be sent to the clerk's desk without being read In the convention. Tho motion of Mr. Cannon was adopted and almost In stantly tho assemblage lost all resem blance to a convention. The galleries began to empty, the delegates mingled op the floor and Mr. Root was sur rounded by a group of chatting friends, while messengers forced their way through .the crowd to collect the com mittee lists. A few raps from the chairman's gavel brought order In the convention and allowed the clerk to tabulate the names of the committeemen nnd the chairman announced the place of meet ing. Meetings Announced. Chairman Root announced the time and place of meeting of the . various committees. He then announced that there would be a meeting at the Audi torium tonight, at which prominent men would speak. The public were extended a cordial Invitation to attend. The sec retary was then instructed to announce the committees, which were read ;o the convention. Invited to Visit Exposition. Senator Depew presented to tho con vention an invitation from the Louisi ana Purchase Exposition for the con vention and the representatives of the press to attend the exposition at the close of the convention as the guests of the exposition. Senator Depew was made to go to the platform amid ap plause and read the invitation. Upon motion of Senator Depew the chairman was requested to appoint a committee to arrange and report upon the Invita tion. Senator Depew made a brief ad dress, stating the convention would ac cept. A committee was appointed as follows: Senator Depew of Npw York, Senator Carter of Montana, Gov. Van Sant of Minnesota and Mr. Parker of Missouri. The convention adjourned at 2:12 p. m. until noon tomorrow. at worn ON THE PLATFORM Eleven Men Arranging the Planks. Builders Completed Work at an Early Hour This t Morning.

Proctor of Massachusetts clerk. The chair was then authorized to appoint a sub-commltteo of cloven to prepare tho platform, and without any further busi ness the committee took a recess. Upon reassembling at 4 o'clock Senator Lodge announced tho following sub-com-mlttec to formulate the platform: Lodge, Massachusetts; Galllngcr, Now Hamp shire; Lautorbach, New York; Dalzell, Pennsylvania; Foraker, Ohio; Hopkins, Illinois; Clark, Wyoming; Nolson, Minne sota; Hansbrough. North Dakota; Hoy burn, Idaho; Blythc, Iowa. Boveridgc. In diana; Short, California. It was expected that Senator Spooncr would bo on tho sub-commlttoo, but he was occupied with the Wisconsin contest. The committee listened to a delegation of woman suffragists, who urged that a declaration in favor of woman suffrage should be made, Tho commltteo adjourned to meet at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning, and Senator Lodge at once convened the sub-committee. Lodge's Draft of Platform. When tho sub-committee met, Senator Lodge for the first timo presented his draft of a platform, salng that -was in tended largelv as u basis for action by tho committee. Ills draft included a plank strongly commending tho estab lished Republican policy on tho tariu. and presenting in terse language tho ne cessity for maintaining tho protective pol icy In the interest. of American labor and American ind-jstrlcs. Added to this was a declaration committing tho party to a readjustment of the schedules If found to be deBlrabie in tho future There was also a mild declaration on the subject of re ciprocity and a pronouncement against tru3ts, but with a leservatlon In the ln ter3t of "established, legitlmato Indus tries." In this connection It congratu lated the party upon legislation on tho trust question ' which has been secured since Mr. Roosevelt became President. There were nlso planks dealing with tho Panama canal and tho policy of the Unit ed States toward Cuba, upon which the Republican party Is felicitated. It also contained a declaration In favor of on couraglng American shipping. Mr. Ledge's draft did not contain any declaration on the subject of the arbitra tion of the Canadian boundary question, but other members of tho committee sug gested a plonk covering that point, tho remark being mado that tho fact that Senator Lodgo had been a member of that commission should not stand Jn tho way of a proper presentation of it in view of Us Importance. A number of suggestions made by out siders wore considered, but nono of them hed been acted upon when, at 7 o'clock, the committee took a recess for dinner. Indeed, none of the propositions, includ ing those presented by Senator Lodge, had at that timo been more than tenta tively considered and members of tho commltteo expressed the belief that many changes would be made before tho final acceptance of the platform. Tariff Plank the Bone. The tariffs plank Is attracting more at tention than any other feature of the platform, and members of the sub-com-mlttec think that no agreement will be reached until a very late hour. Already objections have been raised by tho word ing of the plank, and Representative Dal zell and Senutor Hansbrough are oppos ing tho clauso relating to reciprocity. Mr. Dulzcll does not want any reference) to tho subject, while Senator Hansbrough Is contending for the suggestion contained In his resolution that an adjustment of tho tariff should be made with regard to enlarged commercial relations with for eign countries. Tho reciprocity clause Is urged by those who declare that It was In the last speech of President McKInloy nnd that the Republicans should indorso that portion of his policy. Tho great ef fort is to make the tariff plank, a "stand pat" dcclaratlpn nnd nt the samo timo hold out a promlso for revision "when necessary." How to word tho revision clnuso has been giving tho Ropubllcan loaders somo concern for several days, nnd tho sub-commltteo on resolutions finds this the most vexatious question be fore It. Question of Suffrage. Before adjourning for dinner tho sub committee heard Dr. Robert Reyburn. delegate and member of tho committee on resolutions from tho District of Col umblu, on a plank favoring suffrage for tho District of Columbia. Also a repre sentative of the Afro-Amcrlcan league and Negro Suffrage association in favor of Federal jurisdiction of elections. John M. Swltzcr, a dolcRSte to tho con vention from Cobu. Philippine IslandB, nnd a member of the commltteo on cre dentials, submitted to the committee a draft of a plank favoring tariff reduc tion and ultimate freo trade between tho United States and tho Phlllpplno Islands, The pub-committee's decision wa3 advorso to tho proposition as a part of tho plat form. Tho plank presented is ns follows: "Wo favor tho reduction of tho exist ing tariff imposed in tho United States upon products from tho Phlllpplno Islands At least to 2.1 per cent of the- prf b ent Dlngloy rate. Wo favor ultimate free trado bctwenn tho United States and tho Phlllpplno Islands." Smoot "Watching Polygamy Quostlon. The original draft of tho platform con tained no reference to tho qunntlon of polygnmy, and at a kit hour tho ques tion had not boon taken up by tho com mltteo. Senator Smoot, who has boon Klvlng closo attention, io tho matter, says that thcra will bo no utterance whatever concerning It. Juot before midnight a member of tho sub-commltteo said that an agreement had been reached on tho tariff plank nnd that thoro would be no minority report by any rnemberB of tho sub-commltteo. Ho onld tho declaration for protection was emphitlc, hut prdmlsed revision when no ccesury, but such rovlslon should bo made by Ropiibllcnns. A mild reciprocity clause, ho added, Is Incorporated In tho resolution. It Is not tho intention of a sub-commltteo to muko tho platform pub He until It Is ronorted to tho full com mittee. Senator Spooncr. though not a member of tho Biib-committco. entered the room during the evening and took part In tho deliberations. Statehood for Territories. Tho supporters of tho proposition to ad mit tho Territories of Oklahoma and In dian Territory n ono Slato nnd thoso of Now Mexico and Arizona as another havo received what they consider as a satis factory assurance that a plank supporting that policy will bo Insortod In tho plat form. Tha plank us submitted by them is as follows: "Wo rccognlso that in tho admission of Now States to the Union regard must bo had not onlv for tho rights and beat in terests of tho people of the Territories, but also for tho rights and bcBt interests of the peoplo of tho United States. There fore we favor ana do now pledgo tho sup port of the Ropubllcan party to tho Im mediate admission to tho Union of tho remaining continental Territories aa two States. Oklahoma and Indian Territory as cno and Now Mexico and Arizona 03 an other under such proper and llbornl en abling acts as to Congress shall scorn best." Here Is Tariff Plank. Tho tariff plank agreed on by the sub committee declares "for the cardinal prin ciples of protection," and further, that tho "rato of duty should bo the-difference between tho cost of production In tho United States und abroad, Tho rates of duty should bo readjusted only when con ditions have so changed that the publlo Interests demand It. All puch change should be mado by tho Ropubllcan party." A long paragraph was adopted in rota tion to reciprocity, after a very oxcltlng and protracted contest, by a bare major ity. Several votes were taken on this subject, and It was reconsidered two or three times before being finally agreed to. it Is a declaration for "commercial reci procity which Is posslblo only under a pro tective tariff, and whenever reciprocity arrangements can be perfected without in jury to any industry." Opposition to Reciprocity. The opposition to tho reciprocity plank was led by Mr. Blytho of Iowa, Represen tative Dalzoll and Senator Hansbrough. while Senator Lodgo and Senator Foraker persisted in nn effort to securo tho declaration. It was urged that reciprocity had been Indorsed by previous platforms, and moro particularly In the last speech of President McKlnley at Buffalo, and had been followed by tho present Admin istration In carrying out the policy of tho McKlnley administration. Moro time was spent on this Issue than on all tho re mainder of the platform, and all oppo nents only commented to agree when It appeared that the fight might bo taken into tho committee on resolutions, and possibly boforo tho convention. As tho matter stands now, tho sub-commltteo will report unanimously, nnd It 1? expect ed its action will bo ratified by the com mltteo at Its meeting tomorrow, A plank wns adopted urging tho ac ceptance by nil foreign countries of pass ports Issued to Jewish citizens of tho United States. A plank wna adopted calling on Con gress to Investigate whethor the right of franchise la belntf violated, and, If so, demanding that States violating section II shall bo limited In their Congressional and electoral representation. CROWDS ABOUT HALL Despite the Heat, Throngs of People Besieged the Coliseum Early in the Day. CHICAGO. June 21. The Republi can National convention, the thir teenth in the history of tho party, met in the Collsoum at noon today and organized. The grapd climax, the nominations, will not be reached until Thursday. Senator, Depew call3 today the curtain-raiser for the more serious drama of tomor row and Thursday. The curtain-raiser was in itself an absorbing production Weather predictions were disturbing. There was a suggestion of rain in the air, and the sun had u struggle all the morning with clouds banked ud over the lake. Fresh breezes from tho northwest cooled the temperature, but Indoors out of reach of the breeze, the day was hot. Five Acres of Seats. Five acres of seats under the arches of the Coliseum began to fill by 10:30 o'clock. Black dots appeared in the emptiness, the videttes of that huge as semblage which presently shaped Into the convention. The interest that had for two days eddied gently around fifty State or Territorial headquarters con centrated upon these five steel-covered acres, or rather upon that fragment of an acre of delegates' chairs painted green in front of a crimson carpeted rostrum" set with Flemish oak furniture. The table was a solid piece fit to stand the blows to be beat upon It. Great Convention Hall. The first mental effort after looking at the Immensity of seats, parterre ris ing on parterre, was to estltnate the total. It turned out to be about 8500 numbered places, Including the bank of 350 rising behind the chairman. Above this terrace of seats hung the colossal portrait of the late Senator Hanna on a canvas 20x17 feet. Portraits of the President, with flags about them, were placed at regular intervals around tho amphitheater. A banner of the "Home Market Club" of Boston swung near the roof opposite the chairman. Arrangements for News. Under the rostrum and stretching tho whole' length of the basement was one of the most curious sights of the con ventionthe paraphernalia and the workers who communicated to tho mil lions what the thousands saw. Into this space was let hundreds of wires, more than 500, that -connected the hall with the principal newspapers of the coup try and with the agencies that trans mit news over seas. Moro than 100 tel ephones were working and upward of 400 telegraph instruments. A thousand reporters, operators and messengers manned this intelligence machine. For hours before and during the ses sion of the convention the hotels were vacant. The large rooms occupied by State headquarters decorated with tri color cloth and the pictures of distin guished sons, both living and dead, were quite empty since the eRrly morn inir conference. Addicks Crowd Enfitledjo Seats Credentials Committee So Decides Compromiso Deal Made ns to Louisiana, CHICAGO, June 21. The credentials committee organized for work at 4 o'clock with Senator McConms of Maryland in the chair. By unanimous vote the commltteo upheld the action of the National committee, and declared the J. Edward Atldlcko delegation from Delaware entitled tp seats in the convention. A hearing wns granted to both sides, and the anti-Addicks faction, through Its attorney, charged that Addicks had at different times used tome $39p.000 to obtain the election of his lleutennntB. nnd In tho effort lo elect himself United States Senator. Mr. Addicks rose to a question of personal privilege und em phatically denied the charge. He was not permitted to make a speech, how over, but replied to eruestions from tho committee. Tho fight between the contesting delegatcs-at-lnrge from Louslana wns long nnd vigorous, and waa terminated by tho decision of the committee to seat all four delegates-at-large from tho "Lily Whites," and an equal number from the "Black and Tans," each dele gate to have one-half of a vote. The committee on permanent organi zation Immediately following the ad journment elected Hon. W. M. Johnson of New Jersey chairman and Gov. G. H. Carter of Hawaii secretary. No other namo than that of Joseph G. Can non for permanent chairman of the con vention was presented, and he was ac cordingly nominated unanimously, as were all the temporary' officials with the exception of the temporary chairman. The honorary vice-presidents nominated by the sevpral delegates were recom mended as vice-presidents of the con vention, following which the committee adjourned. VOTING FOR FAVORITE SONS Indications Are That There Will Be None in the National Convention. CilCAGO, June 2L In. the hours between breakfast and the-start for the hall there was a rather general Interchange of ideas among tho leaders. Tho only im portant result of these informal conferences was the Inception of a movement to bring about unanimous action to eliminate the "favorite son" complimentary vote which several dele gations expect to give candidates. It is recalled that similar action was taken at Philadelphia four years ago, and the argument is made that, as the convention Is lo be a ratification meet ing any-way, both candidates should be unanimously named. Very few of the mon who will be presented expect to receive any votes outside of their own delegations and it is pointed out that no great compliment is extended in a. vote of that kind for second place on tke national ticket. Credentials Committee. Present Indications are that the cre dentials commltteo of the convention will be the one place where the placid assurance and even monotonous feel ing of party security and consequent lethargy will be broken. A funnel shaped cloud is gathering over the committee and the storm of political pique, sectional strife and party bick ering is scheduled to break the minuto the committee assembles. Individual members of this committee, as they have been chosen by their State dele gations, have literally been besieged and made to listen to various tales of grief. Just what will be the aggregate result of the vigorous wire pulling which progressed yesterday, all night and was renewed with vigor today can not be predicted. Streets Are Lively. As the day advanced he streets took on an appearance bordering upon ac tivity. Bands played in front of the Auditorium and other convention head quarters. Party leaders who have noth ing to do but wait for the hour of as sembling filled the lobbies and visited nt the rooms of tho various important delegations. The band music, the near ness of the great gathering, the prettl ness of the day had an exhilarating ef fect on the delegates and convention visitors, and they started early for the Coliseum. The few delegations met to day to complete their organization, but as a rule work was wound up yesterday and the forenoon was on their hands. No Marching Clubs. In former conventions marching clubs with banners proclaiming the virtues or qualifications of candidates have proved an attraction. Similar scenes at this convention were sought In vain The few marching clubs that are here have so far been "marchles3." Bits of ribbon bearing the State desig nations, an occasional Roosevelt badge or banner of some favorite son for Vice-President is all that gives distinc tion to the convention crowd. Lodge Names HLs Aides. Senator Lodge of Massachusetts, who was slated for the chairmanship on res lutlons, has decided to appoint as mem bers of the sub-committee which Is to draft the platform, Senator Spooner of Wisconsin and J. W. BIythe of Iowa. Tho latter is an opponent of the tariff revision Idea. At the meeting of the Vermont dele gation, Senator Fairbanks was indorsed for Vice-President.. Mustaches and Crimes. "Frank Richardson, writing in the Cornhlll Magazine, insists on the dis honesty of hiding tho telltale upper lip. "Of all the great criminals of our day," ho says, "I can recall none -who dared to practice with a naked face. Drs. Lamson and Nelll Cream Judiciously concealed as much of their physiogno my as might be. Fowler, who murder ed by night at Muswell Hill, and Jabez Balfour were bearded men. Wain wrlght wore the 'nvistachlos' of his pe riod. James Canham Read and Deem ing and Bennett of the 'boot lace mur der were possessed of mouths that prudence compelled them to conceal. "The blue burglarious jowl la a fan tasy of the nov'elist. No burglar goes about with a face that In itself amounts to a previous conviction. When he is in jail matters are different, for our prison authorities wisely decree that the convict's face shall be shaven and .his beard be shorn. They at least In sist on seeing the man as he is." . DELEGATION? Plan to Have PeJK Delegates. - New York Objects to 1L Alaska Six Votss Nxt f 1 ? Convention.
