These delegates represent the re publican voters of it states, two terri tories1, Alaska, Hawaii, Porto Rlco.and the Philippine Islands. Each delegate to the national convention mnnunti a section of the country peopled by approximately 80,000 people, of whom at least 1,000 are male adults of the voting age. So the whole convention represents the republican party of ap proximately 16,000,000 voters, or 80, 000,000 people. ' Will Choose a President. . The convention meets to pick out a man who will represent the ideas of the republican voters as to necessary qualifications for a president of the United States and to voice the Ideas of the party as to general policies which should be followed by the "chief executive for the four years succeed ing March 4, 1909. The delegates will voice these policies in a series of reso lutions, which, takentogether, Is pop ularly called a "platform." They are . ilso to choose a candidate for ylce nresldent to serve In case of the death or Inability of the president. i Theoretically the choice of the nom inees and the framing of the platform ire matters which the delegates take up as quite fresh subjects, and upon w hich they have varying opinions, but practically, and as a result of wide spread discussion In the dally press .-ind elsewhere, there are always of inte years some well settled ideas on the subjects of candfdates and Issues. nnd a certain unanimity on many mat ters from the outset. This will not liold good In the coming convention to such an extent, however, as In the conventions of 1900 nnd 1904, when the standard-bearers were decided upon In advance. The convention next month will be in Sfsslon four days and possibly longer. The program to- be followed cn the opening day has been arranged almost to the last detail. It will pro ceed about like this: The delegates will assemble In the Coliseum at noon on Tuesday, June IS. They will be called to order bv Harry New, chairman of the national committee. Secretary Elmer Dover v.lll read the official call. Mr. New 'lll make a brief address, presenting to the convention Senator Dolllver, Penator Beverldge or whoever may be decided upon In advance for temnor- i-y chairman. The chief duty of the temporary chairman will be to deliver a speech which will voice the general party policies, and will be what is i popularly termed a "key-note" speech mi Perfection h cake and biscuit making: is attained by the use of Royal Bak ing Powder.
