Watts idolized by the English people and he numbered among his friends the greatest people of Europe.

The letter reads as‘ follows “WHITE HOUSE, June 23, 1904.

PAUL, July 1.—When the Repub- lican State Convention was called to- | gether this afternoon the credentials | | committee not being ready to report, the resolutions committee presented the platform. The first mention of President Roose- velt’s name brought forth a tremendous ovation, which was duplicated when the plank indorsing Governor Van Sant’s action in fighting the so-called railroad merger was read. The indorse- | ment of Senator Clapp for re-election | brought out the greatest demonstration that has yet occurred in the conven- tion. The report was unanimously adopted. % The platform, after reaffirming the national platform and commending the administrations of McKinley and | Roosevelt, has the following to say on | national issues: | “We believe that the large corpora- | tions, commonly called trusts, should be regulated by law and supervised | both in thelr organization and opera- | tions, that their tendencies may be checked and their evil practices pre- vented, and insist that they shall be so regulated and controlled as to prevent | guonopoly and promote competition, and | in the fullest measure subserve and ad- | vance the public good. | "“We believe in the doctrine of pro- tection fo American industry as set | forth in the national Republican plat- form of 1904, and we believe in reci- procity as defined and advocated by William McKinley and James G. Blaine.” The platform commends the action of President Roosevelt and Governor Van Sant in “espousing the cause of the people against the railway merger and trusts.” It indorses Senators Nelson and Clapp to succeed themselves; fa- vors good roads; solicits a better un- | detriment to a new Secretar: | ness knowledge which most succe | his administration a highly | the committee on credentials. | although no longer a Cabinet Minister, !was in attendance. Former Repre- | sentative Victor H. Metcalf of Califor- ! nia did not arrive in time to attend the | Cabinet r.eeting. He took the oath of office as Secretary of Commerce and Labor at the White House at 4:30 o'clock. He succeeds George B. Cortel- {you in that position. The Cabinet meeting was the last of the season. President Roosevelt had a long talk | with his advisers on general topics, and especially the political situation. He leaves for Oyster Bay to-morrow morn- | ing, to remain there until July 28. Moody took the oath of office as At- torney General at 9 o'clock. When E. P. Hanna, solicitor of the Navy De- | partment, addressed the oath of office | to Morton at 9:30 o'clock General | Moody turned to his successor and said: “I sincerely congratulate you, Mr. Secretary, upon your advent into this office. You will come into daily contact with some of the finest sailors in the world.” The outgoing of Moody was marked by a general regret on the part of the department officials, who realize his strength and the beneficial features of the naval policy during his administra- tion. Secretary Morton knows absolutely nothing of naval administration. Ex- perience has shown that this absence of knowledge is an ald rather than a The busi- sful Secretaries have brought to the Navy Department is possessed by Morton in a large degreé. It has advanced him to a prominent position in the railway business and it is expected will make successful one. 3 derstanding between capital and labor and favors the use of the union label on State supplies wherever practicable.

OMAHA, Nebr.,, July 1.—William Jennings Bryanpassed through Omaha this morning on his way to fill two engagements in Iowa before going to St. Louis. He expressed great confidence in | Democratic success this fall. “I look for a good candidate and a good platform as the result of the con- vention,” he said. “By a good plat- form I mean one that honestly and without evasion states the Democratic position on public questions. | | By a| good candidate I mean one who can | be enthusiastically supported by all | good Democrats. And by good Demo- crats I mean those who have in the | last campaigns aided the Democratic | fight against plutocracy. Under these conditions I consider there is an excel- lent chance to elect a Democratic President. The Republican platform radvocates a higher tariff than ever be- | fore. Apart from this it does not pre- sent a single issue clearly. I am hop- ing that our convention will so act that Democratic courage can be con- trasted with Republican cowardice.” LT S McCall Will Nominate Onnnlnghnm.j CHIPPEWA FALLS, Wis., July 1.— T. J.

LOUIS, July l1.—Longer In ad- vance than usual the platform ques- tion is receiving the serious considera- tion of delegates and others interested in the party’s welfare and it is already evident that there will be a persistent effort to secure an expression of party views which will meet the approval of all factions. “We must get a pronouncement which will meet the demands of all Democrats,” said Representative Clay- ton of Alabama, “and 1 belleve it is| going to be a comparatively easy mat- ter to accomplish that result.” DEMOCRATIC LEADERS MEET AND PREPARE FOR BATTLE Plans for the Organization of the Convention Are Not Complete. National Committee Will Meet on Monday to Hear Contests. ST. LOUIS, July 1.—Former Senator James K. Jones, chairman of the Dem~ ocratic National Committee, arrived' in the city to-day and took apartments at the Jefferson Hotel. He sald that no definite arrangements for the organiza- tion of the convention had yet Deen made, and predicted that none wouid be made until the meeting of the full national committee, which will take place next Monday. However, he advo- cates the selection of John Sharp liams of Mississippl, leader of the minority in the House, for the position of temporary chairman, and there is now little or no doubt that the selec- Other party leaders on the ground | expressed themselves in like optimistic | i manner. But when they entered upon | a comparison of views it became evi- | dent that there are differences whick will have to be smoothed down before the desired result can be secured. Evidently the principal contention } will be over the point as to whether | there shall be a specific declaration | favorable to affirmation of the prin- | ciples enunciated in the platforms of | 1896 and 1900. There is to-day some strenuous contention as go whether there shall be any reference whatever | to those two declarations, and there are many shades of views as to how | the subject should be covered. | Delegates who are close to Bryan | want a reaffirmation in terms, but| some of them are content to say (hnt‘i | | while making the reassertion, they con- | sider other and newer questions of | leading importance and are willing on | that account to give more prominence | to them. Others take the position that it would be invidious to mention the Chicago and Kansas City utterances | and urge that it will be sufficient to | reaffirm the principles enunciated by all previous Democratic conventions | and then pass to the consideration of newer questions. A third class would have all references to recent party declarations entirely omitted. Some express the opinion that the | prepdralh!n of the platform will be| | left almost entirely to Senator Gorman | and Representative Williams, the Dem- | ocratic leaders in the two houses of Congress. It is generally believed that | the character of the platform will have | a marked influence upon the Presiden- \ tial nomination, and as only a majority vote is required for its adoption ns‘ exact wording will be awaited with much interest.

California Delegates to St. Louis Will Reach There To-Day. | BY AL McCABE. | KANSAS CITY, July 1.—The Califor- nia delegates to the Democratic Nation- | al Convention are still industriously | engaged in promoting the candidacy of their chosen candidate for President. The members of the delegation never lose an opportunity to give vent to their now well-known convention yell, and are pinning Hearst buttons on all unsuspecting citizens along the road. At Colorado Springs, Pueblo and other Colorado points considerable crowds | were assembled and shouts for Hearst, California and Colorado were loud and long. At Dodge City, Kans.,, an hour passed so quickly that the delegates are sore about it yet. In fact, they did not know a thing about it until the porter told them this morning to. set their watches an hour ahead. This is the| second hour since the trip commenced | in which no opportunity was afforded | to shout for Hearst. At Topeka, Kans., a number of the unterrified had gathered and joined in| shouts for Hearst. Rather an amusing L(he | said, | the tion will fall upon Willlams. The permanent chairmanship will probably go to some Northern délegate, and Thomas E. Barkworth of Michigan | ana Patrick A. Collins are mentioned in that connection. The committee on arrangements for convention will hold a meeting to- morrow, but it is not expected that it will make any recommendation with regard to convention officers. The national committee will also taks up and dispose of the contests om the | part of the rival delegates. The most prominent of these is the Illinols case, and Delegate Hopkins, who holds ere- dentials as delegate at large;.has been in the city all day busily occupied in presenting his claims. il MAY VOTE FOR CLEVELAND.
