has been given by the subcommittee

members of that committee, and at the

President Roosevelt our president
Pand president to be, has pro-
hibiting such combinations; and kept
his oath to see to it that the laws are
executed. And by the decisions of the
highest courts the Republican legisla-
tion has sustained, and the laws are
being enforced. All are equal before
the law—the high and the mighty, th*
meek and the lowly, the capitalist and
the laborer, whose capital is his muscle
intelligently directed, the rich and the
poor—all. all have equality of oppor-
tunity before the law, and all—all must 4

articles and by careful speech and

Senator Gorman, Representative Wil-

protection as robbery, say that if the
Democratic party is clothed with pow-

that they will journey in th* direction
of a tariff for revenue only, and of free
trade. In other words, If they are giv-
en power, the American manufacturer
and laborer will bo gradually starved
to death instead of being destroyed at
one stroke. It reminds me of one of
Aesops’ fables, where the wolves pro.
posed to the sheep that they should
discharge the dogs, thetr natural pro-
tectors. and place themselves under the
protection of the wolves. Does capital

tion falls, are quarrels between organ-
ised labor and organised capital about
the division of the profits. A* has been
well said by another many years ago,
there were not many strikes when the
Democracy had full power under
Grover Cleveland because there were
no profits to divide. There are profits
to divide no# and with a people who

it is alleged that great industrial com-
binations have both formed and over-. _

abolished and freedom became universal

the revenue laws imposing duties on im-

at the same time protect every citizen
of the United States in diversifying the
industries of the republic.* It waa t.

that day to this. Under this policy,

union was waged for four years, and
such a contest of arms the world had
never seen before and perhaps never
will see again. In the end slavery was
Johnson.g The announcement that
Speaker Cannon had been selected for
permanent chairman of the convention
provoked enthusiastic applause.
On motion of Senator Cullom the re-
port was adopted.
Chairman Root appointed ex-Secre-
tary J. D. Long, Senator Cullom and
Representative Burton of Ohio, a com-
mittee to escort Speaker Cannon to the
platform. Upon this announcement the
convention gave a mighty, spontaneous
shout, and when Mr. Cannon appeared
at the speaker's desk and Chairman
committee on credentials, rose from
higdeat in the Marylanddelegatioonand
■aid:
"Mr. Chairman, the committee on cre-
dentials has instructed me to read the
report, which is now reay."
"The gentleman will please take the
platform," said the chairman, and Sena-
tor McComas, mounting the roftrum,
proceeded to read the report
"Tour committee on credentials sub-
mits the following report in the matter
of seating contested delegates:
"They met immediately after the ad-
journment of the session of the conven-
tion Tuesday and organized for the se-
lection of officers. Since that time they
have day and night almost continuously
considered the cases before them until
they have completed with unanimity
the roll of membership. In the contests
from the Fourth district of Alabama
respecting the delegates and their alter-
nates; in the contests respecting the
delegates and alternates from the state
of Delaware; in the Second district of
Reuth Carolina; the Thirty-third dis-
trict of New York; the Second district
of Virginia; delegates-at-large and al-
ternates from Texas; the Second and
Seventh districts of Texas; the Twenty-
first district of Illinois; the Fourth,
Sixth and Twentieth districts of Ohio,
this committee recommends that the ac-
tion of the national committee in mak-
ing temporary roll shall be the action
of the convention.
In the matter respecting the dele-
gates-at-Iarge and delegates from
each of the seven congressional dis-
tricts of Louisiana, your committee
recommends that the delegates-at-
large of the contestants and the con-
testees, with their alternates, be ad-
mitted to seats in this convention and
that in each of the. seven districts of
Louisiana the delegates of the con-
testants and contestees, with, their.re'
speetive alternates, he also admitted to
seats in the convention and that each
delegate when seated shall have one-
half of a vote. And your committee
therefore recommends that th* afore-
mentioned delegates from Louisiana,
with their alternates, be placed on the
permanent roll of the convention.
In the Fifth distrit of Missouri your
committee recommends that the dele-
gates. Joseph Harris and Wallace
Love, and the alternates, Joseph Fen-
ton and F. H. Waggoner, be placed on
the permanent roll of this convention.
In the case of the contest for dele-
gates-at-large from the state of Wis-
consin. your committee unanimously
concurs with the national committee in
its unanimous action and recommends
that the sitting delegates. John C.
Spooner (applause). Joseph V.
Quarles (applause), Joseph w. Bab-
cock (applause) and Emil Baensch (ap-
plause). with their alternates, be
placed on the permanent foil of thia
convention. (Cheers and continued ap-
plause.)
Your committee considers it unneces- <
sary in other cases to recite the rea- i
a large gavel. As Mr. Cannon returned
to the front of the platform to com-
mence his speech there was another
chorus of cheers and loud cries of
"Cannon; he's all right."
Then came the usual query of “Who's
all right?, and the ringing answer,
"Cannon.
The chairman waited patiently for
the applause to subside and the time
being comparatively quiet, said: “Gen-
tlemen." That was as far as he went.
Another cheer cu. him off for a full
minute and then he was allowed to
proceed. Laughter greeted him as he
said “for the first time in my life I
have written enough sentences at one
time to make 2.5*0 words to say to you
today. I tried hard to commit to mem-
ory, but I •cannot"
"Now," he continued, “we will be-
gin to ramble.’’ A hearing more quiet,
but equally flattering, was given Mr.
Cannon when he entered upon the sblid
matter of his address. He departed;
at times from the text of his prepared)
speech, but the departures were flashes
of keen sarcasm of humor that never-
failed to arouse applause,
"Our friends today come out with
strong lungs as ‘trust busters.' but did
anybody ever hear of them doing any
‘busting’?
“That young, true man in Washing-
ton has seen to it that the laws are
enforced and they went out of exist-
ence. That’s the difference between
us and the ether people—one busts by
wind, the other busts by law," and
here the convention once more broke
into loud cheers.
His assurance that the mAn in the
White House, Theodore Roosevelt,
would enforce the laws was the signal
for another outburst of applause. As
he uttered the words good bye at the
close of his address the delegates rose
cheering and waving hats, flags and
handkerchiefs.
His speech was as follows:
“The Republican varty was born with
the declaration that slavery was sec- '
tional or local, and that freedom was
national. It has ever been a national
party. Its politics benefitting every sec-
tion and every man in the republic. It

Convention Hall, Chicago, June 22.—
Although the doors of th hall were
opened half an hour later than yester-
day, for the first half hour after 11
o'clock the band played to a sprinkling
of gallery spectators only. A sea of
brown-backed chairs in the gallery and
mezzanine was broken only by an oc-
casional dot of black or the bright spot
of a woman’s gown. Groups, of ser-
geant-at-arms stood idly about and in
th delegate section a half dozen men
leaned back and read the morning pa-
pers.
The huge portrait of President Roose-
velt that had served to present a tableau
by its dramatic unveiling during Mr.
Root's speech yesterday was plaed on
an easel at the right of the platform.
Otherwise the decorations were un-
changed.
By 11:40 not more than 100 delegates
were in their seats and not a single
national figure had made its appear-
ance.
Former Governor Black came in qui-
etly and reached his seat on the plat-
form without being observed. It was
just noon when Mr. Root went on the
platform. Screened by groups of con-
vention officers and others he was not
seen by the crowd.
The hum of'conversation as the Co-
liseum gradually filled had not been
broken by enthusiasm of any character.
For some time the aisles in the pit were
crowded with standing delegates, only
a portion of their seats being occupied
when, just at noon, the two New York
senators and Governor Odell threaded
their way down the center aisle. A
cheer went up and the galleries facing
the main entrance -began to applaud.
This had hardly died out when the tall
figure of Senator Fairbanks was caught
sight of coming down the aisle to the
left. A hearty cheer went up in that
section of the halt Delegations at once
sprang to their feet and more cheers
were given. As the senator reached

The platform as will bo noticed says
that "rates of duty should be re-ad-
justed onlv when conditions have so
changed that public interest demand
their alteration."
When analysed the plank means lit-
tle or nothing at all except an admis-
sion that the Dingley tariff is not
sacred and a vague promise of revis-
ion when ever congress (assuming
that it will continue Republican) inay
soe fit And it should be remembered
in this connection that the natural
tendenop of the party will be to re-
vise upward rather than downward.
The tariff plank is not entirely-satis-
factory to either the “stand patters"
or the revisionists. IL like many
other features of the platform, was ar-
ranged with a view of conciliating all
factions and getting votes regardless
of the principles involved.
The trust plank is quite inoffensive,
slthough it was the general under-
standing up to yesterday that rather
a strong declaration would be made.
The paragraph concerning the reduc-
tion of the representation in congress

states wherein "diserimination in the

* Root took him by the hand and led
him forward to the extreme front of
the platform ths climax of enthusiasm
was reached. Delegates with one ac-
• cord jumped to thetr feet and on to
their chairs. Cheer after cheer went
up and waves of sound swept over the
throng. The applause continued as th©
temporary and permanent chairman
continued to stand arm in arm waiting
for silence.
Mr. Root raised his hand for silence.
The cheers went on without cessation
or diminution. Twice more Mr. Root
raised his hand for silence, but it was
not forthcoming. The delegates were
on their chairs and their enthusiasm
eould not be checked. Mr. Cannon ap-
peared decidedly uncomfortable while
the cheering went on and he shifted
about as though the floor beneath him
was red hot. When finally there was
a chance for Mr. Root's voice to be
heard he presented Mr. Cannon to the
convention as a man who presided over
the greatest legislative body in the
world “with a grip so strong, a mind
so clear and a heart so sound that he
would wield the gavel in that body for
many years to come.”
Another shout went up as Mr. Root

stalwart faction in Wisconsin. Ths
name of each delegate-at-large was
greeted with.cordial applause when it
was prongunced by Senator MeComas.
The statement of the committee giv-
ing its reasons for its decision on the
Wisconsin case was heard in complete
silence, th© convention showing intense
interest in th© report in this particular.
The senator went on with detail into
the faets of the appearance of the La
Follette faction before the committee,
its disparaging statements to the com-
mittee and its subsequent withdrawal.
His announcement that the credentials
committee had unanimously decided in
favor of the stalwarts was greeted
with cheers. The chairman declared
that a complete, full and impartial in-
vestigation had been made and* that
there was no other course for the com-
mittee ia Justice to pursue. He pro-
nounced the allegatins made tn the
report as far as they related to the
committee to be utterly false. The
chairman then put the vote and the re-
port was adopted by a viva voce vote.
The chairman then called for the
roll call on permanent organisation,
and it was read by Chairman William
