Ing given front rows. 'Between the
delegates' reservation and the "semi
circular stage, on which were seated
the officers -of the ; Convention,'! the
members of the national committee,
and distinguished guests. Including
representatives of the diplomatic corps
at Washington, were the 400 seats set
aside for the use of the press. Lead
ing under the stage from the press
reservation were run-ways to the press
association and telegraph rooms In the
rear. Nearly all the prominent "Jour
nalists" as well as a large proportion
of the best known newspapermen of
the country had been assigned seats,
and were on the Job when the gavel
fell. The arrangements for handling
the news of the convention and getting
It out quickly to the country are the
best ever made for a similar gathering.
The working rooms of the press asso
ciations and telegraph companies oc
cupy one whole end of the basement
of the building.
During the assembling of delegates
and spectators, Weldon's Chicago Con
cert band played classical and other
kinds of music. ; Shortly before the
hour of 12 Mrs. Beatrice Flscher-Er
langer sang Ardltl's "Enchantress."
The band then swung Into the Insp'lr-
mg strains of "Tannhauser." Before
the; applause died out,' Colonel Harry
Hi Ne-, chairman of the republican
national committee stepped .to the
front of the plntform, rapped vigor
ously on the presiding officer's table.
and' called the convention to order.
"The proceedings will be begun with
prayer by the Right Rev. P. J. Mul
doon, bishop of the diocese of Chi
cago, of the Roman Ctthollo church,'
he announced.
ItlKliop Muldoon's Prayer.
"Almighty, Merciful God," began the
bishop, "we humbly beseech Thee
mercifully to give ear to prayers here
offered by Thy servants In behalf of
the whole nation. We numbly Implore
Thee to bless and guide us In Thy wis
dom, to direct the deliberations of this
convention for a greater peace, se
curity and happiness of the entire
people. Grant to all peace, purity, pa
ttl.ilixm. through Christ,' who taught
us to pray, saying, -Our Father, who
art In Heaven, hallowed be Thy name.
Thy will be done 011 earth ns It Is
In Heaven; give us this day our dully
bread, forgive us our debts as we for
give our debtors. Lead us not Into
temptation, but deliver us from evil,
for Thine In the kingdom, the power
and glory, forever and ever.' Amen."
Immediately following the prayer,
Frederick I'phnm, chairman of the lo
cal committee of arrangements, pre
sented to Chairman New a gnvel made
out of a block of wood from old Fort
Dearborn.

Chairman New then recognized El

and announced that he would read the
