against tie' policies of opposition parties.
The applause had hardly died away

tvhleh electrified the assemblage Into its
first reil demonstration of wild en-
thusiasm , ..
"The President, exclaimed Mr. I>odgo,
"i^ the best alius* d and most popular
man In the I'uited States today."
This was the long awaited signal. In-
stantly a shout broke from the galleries
and was echoed back from the floor. At
first only a tempest of detac. <1 yells and
cat calls and shouts of "Teddy," but
gradually gathered In. force and volume
until it swelled i«- a whirlwind of sound
and motion as delegates and spectators
rose en masse, mounting chairs, waving
banners, hats, handkerchiefs, flags, news-
papers, anv'thing which could be seized
Upon t«> add turbulence to the scene.
Four Years More of Roosevelt.
"Four, four, four years more," came
in deafening chorus from th« full
sweep of tla gallery as if preconcerted,
•each "four, four, four" exploding like
the boom of heavy artillery.
Fifteen minutes, twenty minutes twen-
tv-flve minutes. Now delegations were
joining In the outbreak. Some had
mounted chairs—Texas. Kentucky, lj'n-
nessee- and were gesticulating madly.
Texas and Kentucky appeared to be the
«enter or tie- agitation on the floor.
Kew Ynrk viewed the storm with calm,
and so did Ohio, except strangely, one of
tl," lonesome Foraker delegates, Judge
3viar< as Shown, who mouhted on a chair,
,k( jit both arms in motion with a waving
flag ami a newspaper and his voice joln-
t Jng In the general pandemonium.
A full three-quarters ot an hour had
passed in this bewildering confusion of
pight and sound. For a time some fear
was felt by some that a stampede was
Imminent. Hut the political generals
were glad to give the pent-up enthusiasm
of the multitude this outlet of expression,
and at no time was there the slightest
apprehension among them that the well
devised plans would miscarry by Rome
overpowering movement. Frank Hitch-
cock. the Taft manager, moved about the
floor smiling as the tumult was at its
height. ,
"The cheers for Roosevelt todav will
be for Taft tomorrow," said he with con-
fidence. , ,,
With the subsidence of trie Roosevelt
Btorm Senator Uulge completed his stir-
ring speech and then the convention
turned to the reports of the committees.
The final details of the platform are be-
ing arranged by the platform committee
tonight, and. this accomplished, the con-
vention will be equipped tomorrow to
make its declaration of policy and pro-
reed to the selections of candidates. The
convention opens at 10 o'clock in the
morning Instead of at noon, so a full day
may be had for the discussion of princi-
ples and men. The platform is expected
to go before the convention earlv in the
day, and it* adoption will be followed by
the' speeches placing kn nomination the
candidates for President.
THE PROSPERITY ASSOCIATION.

Special Telegram to The Express.
BT. LOU IB. Mo., June 17.—The new Na-
tional Prosperity Association has started
Its campaign for a conservative National
Democratic platform, after having re-
ceived assurances from Senator Hopkins,
chairman of the resolutions committee
of the National Republican Convention,
which have been borne out by the ad-
vance draft of the Republican platform.
No direct campaign will be waged
aaginst the proposed anti-injunction
plank for the Republican platform, but
members of the Prosperity Association's
executive committee today declared its
effect on business would not be salutory.
The association's opposition to radical
attacks on. corporations is expressed in
a letter mailed to each of the delegates
to the Denver National Convention at
Denver, and will have there a personal
representative in David R. Francis, who
was Secretary of the interior under
Pn •sident drover Cleveland, and who
will likely be a membei of the conven-
tion's resolutions committee.

before the committee.
The (juill-Acheson-MeDonald combina-
tion based their claims to recognition on
the assertion that when tho Terrell elec-
tion law became operative there wero
nineteen Federal officeholders who were
members of the State committee, and
their failure promptly to resign there-
from rendered the committee void do
facto, whereupon the reorganlssers acted
ms saviors of tho party by rcorganlz-
ign it.
The committee put the steam roller in
operation with the saviors of the party
undermost, and there they repose.
In the big Roosevelt, demonstration to-
day Texas showed the way, and would
not permit the tumult to cease. Cecil
Lyon diligently waived his broad som-
brero and his delegation to a man turned
loose a superior brand of pent-up Texas
yt lis.
In the fight against a reduction of
Southern representation in future Na-
tional conventions the thirty-six Texas
votes proved just one in excess of the
majority that defeated the proposition.
Had Texas wavered the day would have
been lost. There is much fellcitatAn
among the Southerners tonight In conse-
quence of the victory.
Tomorrow the Texas delegation will
caucus on the Vice Presidential situation
and make a choice, incidentally thirty-
six votes will be cast for Taft.

WASHINGTON, Juno 17.—After word
had boon recived at the White House
that tho cheering for President Roose-
velt In tho convention hall had continued
forty-fivo minutes, Secretary Toft came
over to the White House, and, with hi.-}
usual good-natured smile, hurriedly went
into the President's office. Mr. llooflbvelt
had been carefully reading all tho bulle-
tins m-eived direct at the White House,
and both he and Mr. Taft were fully in-
formed as to what was taking place in
the convention hall.
One sentence In the President's bulle-
tins impressed him very forcibly as indi-
cating that the delegates wore not all in
fact carried away by the excitement.
That was the statement that two-tlmrds
of tho delegates had retained th^Tr seats,
but the conference between the^President
and Mr. Taft may result in some message
to be sent to tho convention direct from
the White House in order to restore
normal conditions there.
Secretary Taft was In communication
today with his managers in Chicago and
kept apace with the situation as it de-
\ eloped from incident to incident. Re-
ports of the committees to the conven-
tion, which had been forecast in the
early jjrivate advices, wero received with
satisfaction, both by Secretary Taft and
by the President. There were Important
exchanges between Secretary Taft and
his Chicago friends as to tho platform,
especially as to the anti-injunction plank.
The view hero is that tho plank will be
retained in tho platform as it was agreed
upon tentatively.
WILL HE NOMINATE ROOSEVELT?
Judge A. B. Fall Said to Be the Man
Selected.
Special Telegram to The Kxpress.
EIj PASO, Tex., June 17.—It is given
out here on creditable authority that
Judge A. 11. Fall, late Attorney General
of New Mexico, a close friend of Presi-
dent Roosevelt, is the man who is to
nominate the President at Chicago.
The Ropse*elt boomers announced that
declined to say what State the man
was to
they
who waif to make the nomination repre-
sented In part, and this lends color to
the Kail story, for he is from New Mex-
ico and only represents New Mexico in
part, having a third of a vote.
will uphold the processes and the pro-
ceedings of the courts, and has absolute
faith in their integrity and uprightness;
nevertheless it believes that the injunc-
tion practices should be so modified as
to provide that only where irreparable
damage to property is imminent the
courts may grant injunctions without no-
tice It is also specified that due notice
shall be given of impending injunction
proceedings. , , , . .
The modified Injunction plank Is be-
lieved to be acceptable to many more
members of the committee than the or-
iginal draft.
At night the whole committee on reso-
lutions had nRreei! to accept nil the
planks ot the platform as recommended
liv the subcommittee, with the exception
ot the planks on civil rights, the negro
race, the Panama Canal and Immigration.
These were reserved because of the de-
sire to discuss at some length their re-
vision.
At a O'clock the indications were favor-
able for an all-night session.
"If the Republican reinvention deilb-t
erately refuses to adopt a platform on
which' Secretary Taft feels he chii make
a winning race, the Republican Conven-
tion will have to nominate a man who
needs no platform to win."
Willie tills statement is not being put
forward as un actual ultimatum, it is
tho principal weapon which the advo-
cates of an Injunction plank In the plat-
form are using to compel the committed
on resolutions and the convention Itself
to make such » declaration. It Is their
last resort and the momentous Import nl
the alternative implied presents more
strikingly than could anything else the
desperate straits to which the supporters
of an injunction declaration have been
driven by the persistent fight that has
been made against it. ....
The statement quoted was made tonight
by a member of the subcommittee which
Is preparing the platform, and who is
fiiendlv to both Roosevelt and hecretary
Taft It was the result nf a careful anal-
ysis of the situation after twenty-four
hours of almost continuous service in thu
committee room, and undoubtedly pre-
sented his views of tho situation.
F'cglnning at 10 o'clock today the sub-
committee resumed its work In tho hope
of completing it by 4 o'clock, the time
Set for the meeting of the full commit-
tee, hut when that time came the Bub-
committee was compelled to report' that
It was unprepared to present its report,
and the full enmmltteo took an adjourn
ment until 9 o'clock. At that time tho
the healing Mr. Oompers suggested the
following as a platik In the platform,
etiylng that It contained the embodiment
of the federation's views:
Embodies Labor Idea.
I "The Republican party Is In accord-
ance with the great emancipator. Abra-
I an> lAncoln, when he declared that 'la-
bor ix pilot' and independent of capital;
capital la only the fruit Of labor, and
could never have existed if labor had not
first existed. Labor Is the superior of
iHj)it.".l and deserves much more con-
sideration.'
"Through his wise and humane policy
the shackles were stricken from the limbs
of 4.000,000 chattel slaves. The Republl-
r in party has been the staunch defender
of property and property rights, yet holds
and declares that personal rights and
human liberty are and must, of necessity
lo entitled to the highest consideration.
Recognizing the re w conditiors from our
marvelous' Industrial development, our
people and our Nation realize the fact
that the wheels ot industry and com
merce of our time require that new laws
slid new concepts of la*'s must be en-
acted to conform to modern industry and
commerce, and advance freedom in line
therewith.
"We therefore pledge the Republican
party to the enactment of a law by Con-
press guaranteeing to the wage earners,
agriculturists and horticulturists of our
countrv the right of organized effort t >
tho end that such associations or their
members shall not be regarded as Illegal
combinations in restraint of trade..
"We pledge ourselves to the enactment

junctions In cases arising out of labor

COLLEGE STATION. Tex.. June 17.—
Nothing essentially new was developed
today In the Investigation of the presi-
dent of the Agricultural and Meelianle.il
college, which was resumed before the
board of directors at 4:W p. m. Three
witnesses were examined, Prof. J. B.
Weir and I'rof. F. H. Glesccke of the
ollege faculty, and R. It. Shearer of Luf-
kln, a patron of the college.
Further evidence of strained relations
between the president and members of
the faculty was brought out and .Judge
Scott, counsel for President Harrington,
indicated by his questions that the de-
fense lays much responsibility for lack
f discipline to the professors and ool-
.ege authorities, who led the /students to
believe that they sympathized with and
ncouraaed them in their Insurrection.
C. c. Todd Of San Antonio, a promi-
nent alumnus, who was secretary of the

ary. which took the notion looking
toward this Investigation, arrived this
fternoon and sat with the alumni attor-

here. He waR employed by three patrons
of the college and will remain through-

were three or four rather prolonged In-

became evident that tjio Injunction clause
advocates were playing for tiine.y

CONVENTION HALL, CHICAGO, 111.,
June 17.—Tho effort to secure a reduced
representation of delegates to National
Republican conventions again has failed.
By a vote of 24 to 17 the committee on
rules today rejected tho Hurke resolu-
tion providing tar such reduction, and
also, by practically the same vote tabled
tho substitute, iiurke and his supporters
announced that they would file a minor-
ity report.
As on yesterday the main opposition
came from the Southern Slates. Ala-
bama, South Carolina and Maryland bit-
terly attacked the resolution; the dele-
gates from those States taking the name
ground as their Southern colleagues
who spoke yesterday that a reduction in
the representation would spell the dis-
ruption of the Republican party in the
South. They had the support of lien,
Powell Clayton, who maintained that the
resolution was simply a proposition to
crucify the colored man and divide his
raiment among certain States north of
the Mason and Dixon line. 11c argued
that the negro was loyal to the Republi-
can party, but If he Is cast to "the
enemy" there was nothing left to him
but to make the best terms he could with
those to whom he had been consigned.
"The Democratic, party will take every
negro vote it can get," he said, "and
whenever the negroes commence to vote
the Democratic ticket the Democratic
party will count their votes North and
South." Resides, he said, the proposi-
tion was illogical.
