| | | Unanimously Selected Candidates for ROOSEVELT AND FAIRBANK as Republican Party’s President and Vice President. / Both Nominations Are Greeted by Demonstra- tions of Approval—The Platform Is Unanimously-Adopted. For President, THEODORE ROOSEVELT of New York. For Vice President, CHARLES W. FAIRBANKS of Indiana. Chicago, June 22.—Without disturb- ing element to impede smooth opera- tion, the first day’s program for the Republican national conventiom” was carried out like clockwork. Not a jarring sound was heard, not a false Step taken. It was an assembly of non-combative delegates which car- ried into effect, without the thunderous ‘demonstration usually attendant upon political conventions, a purpose that had been clearly defined. An organization was perfected pre- paratory to the adoption of a platform and the making of nominations on the succeeding days of the convention. From the enthusiasm provoked by Senator Fairbanks’ arrival at the Coli- seum, his nomination for vice presi- dent is little less assured than the nomination of Theodore Roosevelt for sident. La Follette.Makes No Contest. The La Follette faction of the Wis- consin Republicans declined to make a contest before the credentials com- mittee yesterday afternoon, declaring that it refused to do so on the ground | that the committee on credentials was mot an unprejudiced body, and making | the flat statement that they under- stood some members of the committee had been “approached.” What the na- ture of the “approach” might be or by whom made the La Follette people de- <lined to state. They entered no par- ticulars, simply making the broad and general charge of an ‘“‘approach,” and withdrew after stating that they pre-” ferred to submit their case to the peo- ple of Wisconsin at the election next November. Cannon Was Whole Show. Chicago, June 24. — Proceedings of ‘the Republican national convention, with Joseph G. Cannon in the chair, nd demonstrativeness which Tuesday were lacking. From the moment Speaker Cannon ‘was escorted to the platform to wield the gavel as permanent chairman the entire atmosphere of the convention changed. Enthusiasm, which had lain dormant, burst forth, and the applause rang true and hearty. He made a speech and the audience cheered whether he spoke jocularly or in a se- wious vein. He was the entertainer; fact, he was the convention. Without a Dissenting Vote. Visitors were not so’early about the ‘convention hall yesterdax, but when Mr. Root called the convention to or- der shortly after noon the Coliseum resented a more inspiring appearance | than on the preceding day. The gal- ieries were crowded for the first time, and a large number of women were present. After prayer by the Rev. | Thomas E. Cox, the business of the | day Began. The announcement of the perma- ment organization for the convention started the continuous demonstration which followed the introduction of Snag Cannon as permanent chair- man. @ was escorted to the platform ‘by a committee consisting of John D. ‘Long, Senator Cullom and Representa- tive Burton of Ohio. The scene that followed was inspiring; flags waved, hats were thrown into the air, dele- zates4umped to their feet and then to chairs, shouting wildly, Loudly and Continuously. Speaker Cannon’s story was dis- tinctly to the liking of the convention. He opened with a delightfully refresh- agg and humorously frank avowal. ach of the thousand listeners re- ceived a confidential tip. The speaker had written his first speech and had tried to memorize it. But he did not show the slightest intention of follow- ing it. He knew the inspiration that ‘would come, that had come, and he just wanted a free hand to cut loose. “So let us ramble a while.” That is what he said. And then he abandoned himself to his limitless store of profound sagacity and his original and characteristic vocabulary. Throughout his address the cheering was generous, intelligent and appre- ciative. * The Resolutions. The preamble calls attention to the fact that since the organization of the party and the election of Lincoln in 1860 the party has been in entire or partial control of the government with the exception of two years. Public Credit Rose. Public credit rose under the Repub- yesterday took on a picturesqueness ; borrow at 2 per cent in time of war. The remainder of the preamble takes credit for the suppression of the Philippine rebellion, the purchase ot the Panama canal, etc. The Platform. Protection, which guards and devel- ops our industries, is the cardinal pol- icy of the Republican party. The measure of protection should always be at least equal to the difference 1 the cost of production at home and abroad. Gold Standard. We believe it is the duty of the Re- publican party to uphold the gold standard of integrity and value of na- tional currency. Powerful Navy. A navy powerful enough to defend the United States against any attack, to uphold the Monroe doctrine and | watch over our commerce is essential | to the safety and welfare of the Ameri- | ean people. To maintain such a navy is the fixed policy of the Republican party. Labor and Capital. Combinations of capital and labor are the results of the economic move: ment of the age, but neither must be permitted to infringe on the rights and interests of the people. The concluding paragraph mourns the untimely death of William McKin- ley. The American people have been fortunate in his successor. Roosevelt has justified the confidence placed in him. a Nominations Are Made. Chicago, June 25.—For the second time in the history of Republican con- ventions selection of a national ticket was made yesterday without a dis- senting vote. Theodore Roosevelt for president received every vote in the convention, while Charles W. Fair- banks, for vice president, was named by acclamation. Regardless of the fact that the nom- ination of president had been assured for months andthe vice president for days, the announcement of the ac- complishment was accompanied by re- sounding demonstrations, which at: tested the candidates’ popularity. The cheering’ was led by figures known through the breadth of the land and Echoed by a Mighty Throng of enthusiastic men and radient wom- | en assembled in the Coliseum to wit- ness the crowning feature as well as the close of the thirteenth national convention that marks the semi-cen- tennial of the Republican party in the United States. No fewer than 10,000 persons participated in the ratification of the party program, and the conse- quent roar of the cheering and hand- clapping was deafening. When Gov. Black of New York made his speecn -nominating Theodore Roosevelt for president, the delegates in the Repub- lican convention proved there was no absence of enthusiasm in their ranks when occasion justified evidence of that quality. For twenty-five minutes the great throng showed its approba- tion of the convention’s choice for president. The name Roosevelt Came From Every Throat. The New York delegates paraded the aisles, shouting at the top of their voices. Other delegations joined the throng, and the well ordered body of half an hour before was a shifting mass, every semblance of organization gone. While the demonstration was at its height Chairman Cannon stepped to the front of the stage. He held in his hand the banner which was waved in 1860 when Lincoln was nominated, and which had been used in every convention since. The flag showed the wear and tear of many similar contests. “Uncle Joe” waved it vigorously and kept time with his body. Soon | the whole convention was swaying in exact measure. The chairman tired and his place was taken by a young man, who grasped the flagstaff firmly in one hand and with a megaphone Led the Yelling. At the conclusion of every second- ing speech the performance was part- ly duplicated and the speakers them- selves were generously applauded. When Senator Fairbanks had been nominated for vice president there was no diminution in the demonstra- tion. Voices were hoarse, but the noise for the choice was just as unan- lican administration to its highest point, and enabled the government to CLUE TO N. P, HOLD-UP MEN.

SIDELEGATES ARE UNINSTRUCTED DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION RE- FUSES TO INSTRUCT FOR HEARST. ° JOHN LIND TURNS THE TIDE WHEN IT LOOKED AS THOUGH HEARST FOLLOWERS WOULD WIN OUT. IMPERIALISM 1S DENOUNCED PLATFORM DECLARES AGAINST PLUTOCRACY, MONOPOLIES AND TRUSTS. Duluth, June 24. — The Democratic state delegate convention held here last evening refused to instruct its delegates for Hearst after his sup- porters had secured control of the convention. The race between Maj. Bowler, the Hearst leader of Minne- apolis, and T. D. O'Brien, the anti- Hearst candidate, for chairman, was extremely close, but the former won out by a margin of 40 votes of the 1,002 present. For a time it looked as though Hearst sentiment would rule in everything, and it doubtless would have done so bad it not been for a speech of John Lind, who turned the crowd of excited delegates who clam- mored for an instructed delegation, to one which expressed itself when the vote came as opposed to instructing for Hearst or any other man. The anti-Hearst men secured three of the four delegates at large and will | get an even break on the district dele- gates. The delegates at large are: John Lind of Minneapolis, L. A. Rosing of Cannon Falls, H. L. Buck of Winona and C. D. O’Brien of St. Paul. Bowler Is Chairman. Maj. J. M. Bowler of Minneapolis, the Hearst candidate for temporary chairman, was elected over C. D. O’Brien of St. Paul, candidate of the anti-Hearst forces, by a vote of 457 to 404. Hennepin, with 102 delegates, and St. Louis, with 36 votes, voted unanimously for Maj. Bowler, and Ramsey gave its 78 votes to O’Brien. The Hearst men more than split even in the country districts, carrying Anoka, Beltrami, Big Stone, Carleton, Chippewa, Clearwater, Douglas, Free- born, Mille Lacs, Morrison, Nobles, Olmsted, Pipestone, Sibley, Todd, Wa- dena and Wright counties unanimous- ly. R.G. Farrington of Traverse coun- ty, whose name was presented by H. S. Mead of Minneapolis, was elected temporary secretary. The contest over temporary chairman lasted two hours. The fight was waged on Hearst and Parker lines. The anti-Hearst men, who, before the convention, said they favored no particular candidate and were merely opposed to Hearst, showed their hand when T. D. O’Brien, in seconding the nomination of. his brother, openly declared that Parker was the bet man the Democrats could 4nominatel. Contest Was Exciting. Great confusion prevailed in the convention during the contest over the temporary chairmanship when Charles D’Autremont of Duluth said there were two factions in the party — the anti-Hearst men hissed the assertion, and Chairman Buck called a police- man to put out of the hall one or two of the most enthusiastic of the Parker men. In the roll call the vote of sev- eral counties was contested, and Chair- man Buck ruled that no county which had not held a convention on the date and in the manner prescribed in the call should be allowed to vote. Chi- sago, Cottonwood, Cook, Mower, Lake, Norman, Polk, Redwood, Washington and Yellow Medicine were ruled out on this score. The convention was called to order at 2:45 o'clock, after the Ramsey county delegation, headed by a band, arrived from the depot. after the selection of the temporary chairman and secretary the conyen- tion adjourned at 5 o'clock until 7:30. Trouble started at the beginning of the night session, after Hearst's forces had won out in the afternoon. The committee on credentials had reported in favor of excluding the Lake and Cass county delegations, in favor of seating the delegates from Norman and Yellow Medicine counties, and compromising a contest in Polk coun- ty. Maj. J. M. Bowler of Minneapolis, the Hearst chairman, declared the re- port of the committee adopted, when O’Brien of St. Paul asked for a roll call. Maj. Bowler ignored Mr. O’Brien’s request amidst cheers and hisses. Becomes Very Warm. Babel broke loose and anti-Hearst men jumped upon their chairs and cried aloud for justice. They callec upon Maj. Bowler to permit a roll call, but he was not to be persuaded, and EDUCATORS TO MEET. Those Who Have Charge of Indian Schools to Hold Congress in St. Louis. St. Louis, June 26—A congress of Indian educators will be held at the exposition from June 27 to July 1. An invitation has been extended to all those interested in Indian education to be present, and a large attendance is expected. Among those who have been invited to make addresses are W. 8. Jackson, University of Chicago, and Dr. Alwin Pabst of Leipsig, Germany. | Bryan men and the reorganizers. The } Lf * me hisses, groans, catcalls tion mingled with the and jeers of the other. Policemen were called to throw Dan- jel Aberle and other members of the Ramsey county delegation out of the convention. Just as the’ anti-Hearst men were taking their hats and coats to leave the armory C. D. O’Brien of St. Paul climbed on the platform and made a short speech which had the ef- fect of partially restoring order. He was followed by John Lind, and after that things moved smoothly. Delegates Are Named. Frank Larabee of Minneapolis pre sented a resolution naming the Hearst Slate of delegates at large, consisting of Buck, Bennett, Turnblad and Pike, with A. G. Aldrich of Anoka, W. H. Willimas of Minneapolis, H. A. Adams and Nat Campbell of Crookston as Al- ternates. An amendment by C. D. O’Brien, who said he wanted a chance to vote for Lind,, was passed by a vote of 535 to 413. This was the first vic- tory for the anti-Hearst forces, and it was due largely to their appeal “not to knife John Lind.” C. D. O’Brien presented John Lind’s name, J. D. Sul- livan proposed C. D, O’Brien, Orville Reinhart proposed Frank Zins, Joseph Leicht presented Buck and Capt. W. H. Harries of Caledonia presented A. L. Rosing. - After George P. Jones of Luverne } made an address seconding the nom- ination of John Lind the convention decided to vote by ballot and the fore- going result was announced. A mo- tion was passed allowing the delegates at large to name their alternates. The Platform, which is similar to that ‘adopted by the Nebraska Democrats, declares against plutocracy.” private’ monopolies and trusts. So-called imperialism is de- nounced, and it is declared to be the duty of the United States to grant self-gov- ernment to the Philippines as in the case of Cuba. The party pledges itself to work for reciproci vith Canada and to abol- ish the prote e tariff. z It declares against the recoinage of legal tender silver dollars into limited from one fac joyous shouts legal tender subsidiary coin, favors an expansion of standard money to keep pace with the demand and promises to re- sist the attempt to establish asset cur- rency. An income tax, election of senators by popular yote, an eight-hour day, arbitra- tion for strikes and lockouts, generous pension to survivors of the Civil and Spanish war, and the construction of the isthmian canal without the violation of treaty rights is favored, and government by injunction and excessive railroad rates are denounced.

A sweeping change in the cabinet of President Roosevelt was announced officially at the White House yester- day. The announcement came in the form of a brief typewritten statement issued by Secretary Loeb, as follows: “The following cabinet appointments are announced: “William H. Moody of Massachu- setts, attorney general. “Paul Morton of Illinois, secretary of the navy. “Victor H. Metcalf of California, secretary of commerce and labor. } “The resignations of Secretary Cor- \ telyou and Attorney General Knox have been accepted to ‘take effect July 1.” For two weeks or more it has been known that these changes were im- pending. When Secretary Cortelyou was appointed by President Roosevelt to be his campaign manager, it was certain that he would retire from the cabinet upon his assumption of duties as chairman of the Republican nation- al committee. Just before he left for Chicago last Wednesday he placed in the hands of the president his letter of resignation. It is expected that further changes will take place in the cabinet next winter. Postmaster General Payne probably will retire from the cabinet after the campaign. He will be suc- ceeded by National Chairman Cortel- you. Secretary Moody will continue as a member of the cabinet only until the end of the present administration on the fourth of March next, when he will retire to enter upon the practice of law in Boston. It is quite likely that other changes will take place in the event that Mr. Roosevelt is elected president; but no authority exists at this time upon which to base a fore- cast of them. Peter Maher Knocked Out. Philadelphia, June 26.—Peter Maher was last night knocked out in one minute and forty-seven seconds by Jack Williams of Kansa’ City at the Manhattan club, The men were to have fought six rounds. <i - JUDGE CORNISH GETS IT. New York, June 26. — Formal an- nouncement of the election of William D. Cornish as vice president of the Southern Pacific company, succeeding H. E. Huntington, was made yester- day. Judge, Cornish has been one of the legal representatives of the Har- riman railroad interests and is both a director and vice president of the Union Pacific system. He has for ‘some years been’a Soethern Pacific di- rector. CAUSE THE DOWNFALL OF EX- MAYOR SMITH OF DAVEN- PORT, IOWA, EMBEZZLEMENT IS” THE CHARGE MUCH TRUSTED SAMUEL F. SMITH | FINALLY LANDS IN “TOILS. Des Moines, Iowa, June 22.—Ex- Mayor Samuel F. Smith of Davenport, was arrested this morning on a charge of embezzlement. Until a few weeks ago Smith was one of the most re- spected men in Davenport and was the trusted guardian of numerous church and society funds, to say nothing of being administrator of various estates. About two years ago, together with J. X. Brands, he started in connection with the Daily Republican a patent in- side house to furnish ready-prints to country newspapers. This proved to be a losing venture. Smith claims to have lost over $30,000 in the effort to establish this business, and the em- bezzlement of trust funds was for the purpose of paying the indebtedness thus contracted. The family lived in one of the most magnificent homes in the city, and this property was turned over to the creditors, who at the time decided not to prosecute. However, it has been impossible to smooth matters over, and charges were preferred to-day. Mr. Smith is the son of Samuel F. Smith, who wrote “America,” and comes of an old Boston family. TO THE FAIR VIA THE MISSISSIP- PI RIVER. St. Paul, Minn—The steamship “Purchase,” with consort, a floating ho- tel, cleared St. Paul on Thursday, June 23, for St. Louis with a full passenger list. This is one of the fleet of the Exposition Transportation company, St. Paul, the originators of the “Take Your Hotel With You” project for World’s fair visitors. The round trip consumes fifteen days, which allows a week in St. Louis, during which period the passengers live on the boat. To all practical purposes the trip is akin to the cruise of a private yacht. On next Thursday, July 7, the steam- er “Purchase,” with consort, will clear St. Paul on its third trip to St. Louis. The twin ships, the “Purchase” and “Louisiana,” will ply the waters of the great Mississippi during the .entire summer season, leaving St. Paul on every Thursday, enabling fair visitors to enjoy the exposition and at the same time “all the comforts of home” at the minimum cost of $40.00 for the round trip. Think of it! St. Paul to St. Louis and return, and a week at the fair, all for $40. The service on these boats is unexcelled. Make your reservations at once, in order to se- cure the most for your money, and go via the Exposition Transportation com- pany. SAVES WIFE AND DIES. Man Killed While Rescuing His Wife From Death on Street Car Tracks. St. Paul, June 28.—After saving his wife’s life, William Neff was run over and killed by a street car yesterday afternoon. His legs were almost sev- ered below the knees and he died half an hour after the accident. His,wife received a gash over the left eye and had her right leg broken. She is at St. Joseph’s hospital, in a serious condi- tion, and her recovery is still doubtful. He threw his arm about his wife’s waist in an attempt to save her from the approaching car and was struck on the head and knocked under the car. No Saloons for Gambling. Madison, Wis., June 28.—Ten promi- nent saloonkeepers in the business section of the city, of the total number of eighty, were Saturday night re- fused liquor licenses by the license committee of the common council on the ground that gambling had been permitted on their premises, with the knowledge of the city police depart- ment, and contrary to the law. It is alleged that the police department showed partiality, and refused to pros- ecute offenders, one of whom is a brother of one of the officers. Another River Victim. Minneapolis, June 28.—Hall Strife, an eighteen-year-old boy, was drowned in the Mississippi yesterday. He was swimming with two companions down near the mills and dived off a log boom. As he came up he started to swim back to the boom, about five feet away. The current was too strong and he went down. Looks Like a Murder. Des Moines, Iowa, June 28—Thomas Callahan was found dead yesterday upon the floor of his little cobbler’s shop where he lived alone. His head had been almost severed from his body by one blow of his shoe knife which was found clenched in‘his hand. It is thought he had been dead several days before the body was discovered. The police are working upon a theory of murder as the room presents the appearance of having been the scene of a terrific struggle. ~ INSIDES| © THE MARKETS.
