Newspaper Page TextTHE MORNING OREGONIAN, TUESDAY, 5 JUNE 21," 190 9 STAND BY TARIFF Republicans Will Make Strong Declaration. OREGON ALONE FOR REVISION Must Be Content With Changes When Necessary. POLICY AS TO SHIP SUBSIDY No Particular Plan Is to Be Indorsed Territories Are Into a Tur moil Over Statehood Declaration. PROTECTION' PLANK IX 1BOO. We renew our faith In the policy of protection to American labor. In that policy our industries have been estab lished, 'diversified and maintained. By protecting the home market competition has been stimulated and production cheapened. Opportunity for the In ventive genius of our people has been eecured and wages In every department of labor maintained at high rates, higher now than ever before, and al ways distinguishing our working people In their better conditions of life from those of any competing country. En Joying the blessings of the American common schools, secure In the right of self-government and protected In the occupancy of their own markets their constantly Increasing knowledge and skill have enabled them finally to enter the markets of the world. CHICAGO, June 20. The men who are to examine the platform, which has been in the possession of Senator Lodge for several days, have been selected by the various state delegations, and there la practically no doubt that the declaration for protection will be emphatic, and that there will be but little comfort for tariff revisionists. A pledge to make changes in schedules, when such changes are necessary, is the only concession that will be made by "standpatters." Possibly the wording may be changed, and those who have been talking revision will secure the use of the word "revised" to express the idea that is to be conveyed, but even this is considered doubtful. The majority are against having .any thing like a general revision of the tariff suggested, and they will contend for the words "change in tariff schedules," when "conditions make it .necessary," as being ample to covtrr all that Is intended by Jthe Republican party. Only Oregon Approves Revision. Senator Hansbrough, who intends to offer a provision for a revision declara tion, has not received much support. Only Oregon seems to have approved the re vision Idea, the Senator's own state dele gation refusing to give him support. Ore gon also declared against a ship subsidy, but it is not intended to make the dec laration for an Improvement of the mer chant marine InJorse any particular plan. Various plans are now being considered by the Joint Congressional Commission, but the platform will not attempt to an ticipate the commission's report. Some Interest was displayed during tho day in the effort that is being made to secure the incorjoratlon of an anti polygamy resolution in the platform. It is beln? urged especially by various wom cn'a organizations that have been so ac tive in the fight to unseat Senator Smoot, of Utah. One prominent man, who Is a member of the resolutions committee, said there could be no harm in a declara tion against polygamy, any more than in a declaration against bigamy. But Sena tor Smoot thinks that any declaration on the subject will be used to his disad vantage in the Senate. Also, it Is felt there is "a possibility that any declara tion might materially Injure the Republi can prospects in several "Western states, where there is a large Mormon vote. Several other suggestions not now con tained in the prepared draft of the plat form will be made. One of these declares for an international arbitration. Another urging that the Interstate Commerce Commission be given more power to en force its decisions will be offered. Territories In a Turmoil. Territories are in a turmoil about the declaration as to tholr admission into the Union. New Mexico and some Oklahoma men want a declaration In favor of a bill which has passed the House and is pend ing in the Senate, providing for the ad mission of Arizona and New Mexico as one state, and Oklahoma and Indian Ter ritory as anothor. The Arizona delegates are very much opposed to anything being done, while tne Indian Territory delegates say statehood Is so remote that they want a declaration of the home rule idea in the making of appointments in territories. QUIETEST DAY EVER KNOWN. Leaders Having Nothing to Do Dis cuss Everything but Politics. CHICAGO. June 20. With the time oc cupied In caucuses of state delegations which, with a few exceptions, were mere ratification meetings held to approve state convention programmes, the day preced ing the opening of the Convention has been the quietest ever known as the fore runner of similar gatherings. Senators and Representatives in Congress were as thick on the streets and in the hotel lobbies as in the National Capital .when a particularly uneventful or dry debate is in progress in Congress. Figures promi nent in the political strife of former Na tional Conventions were everywhere. They mingled with delegates and others not on the Inside, talking of anything which promised even momentary interest. "When the leaders reached Chicago few days ago they found nothing for them to do. The programme for the convention was mapped out weeks ago, and there was a full realization that it was unalter able. expressions of genuine regret at the absence of two faces familiar at similar gatherings four, eight and 12 years ago, are heard on every side. Men who have played leadling roles in the art of making tickets and platforms, men whose person ality, shrewdness of qualifications and persuasiveness have changed entire states or sections of the country are missed in the hotel lobbies and various headquarters. Some of these have figured in Republican Conventions for a quarter of a century, notably the late Senator Quay, of Pennsylvania, and the late Wil liam Sewell, of New Jersey. One whose absence is felt more, perhaps, than that of any other man is the late Senator Hanna, though his debut on the political stage was of more recent date. Numer ous pictures of the late Senator attest to his popularity. But the absence of the great men men tioned does not indicate that the cast of the play which opens at the Coliseum tomorrow has been weakened. In the shoes of the men who have passed away are politicians equally astute who have had their training at master hands. They may not be so well known in National affairs and their names not so effective to conjure with, but they are ready and competent to perform any task that of fers. The only difficulty is that the task is not there. Contests worthy of the name are utterly lacking. The fight between the La Follette and stalwart factions in "Wisconsin, the contest between Addicks and the anti-Addicks faction in Delaware, the "Lily White" and "the Black-and-Tan" factions of Southern States were disposed of with so much dispatch that they failed to furnish the gossip neces sary to an interesting convention. LONG STARTS TAFT BOOM. He Regards the Secretary of War the Man for Vice-President. CHICAGO, June 20. John D. Long, of Massachusetts, ex-Secretary of the Navy, today authorized the Associated Press to announce that his candidate for the Vice-Presidency was "William H. Taft, Secretary of War. whom he regards as in every way the most avail able man. "There can be no question of Mr. Taft," said Mr. Long. "He has made his record. The country knows him, and the ticket 'Roosevelt and Taft' would, in my opinion, sweep the country. My reasons for favoring: Mr. Taft are these: "First, eminent qualifications as a presiding officer; dignity, sound Judg ment and deliberation are characteris tic of the man. "Second, his close and warm friend ship for the President He certainly would make an agreeable running- mate for Mr, Roosevelt. "Third, the fact that he is splendidly qualified for the responsibilities which devolve upon the Vice-President In case of an emergency, and, lastly, or per haps, I should have said, first, the fact that there is a strong sentiment throughout the country trending to ward Taft for the Presidency in 190S. "Objection would be urged to Mr. Taft on the ground that it would re move a strong man from the Cabinet and put him in a position less promi nent before tho country. To the first objection I should say that Mr. Taft would be of immense assistance to the President, as he is now; and to the sec ond point, Mr. Taft is so well known that it is impossible to lose sight of him. True, he has recently assumed the war portfolio, but- his work is in a sense completed, so far as the Philip pines is concerned, and there is no great emergency which would necessi tate his jemalnlns Secretary of "War. "My "suggestion of Mr. Taft is every where being warmly received, and es pecially among the Eastern delegations the sentiment seems to favor him for the Vice-Presidential nomination." IOWA TURNS "IDEA" DOWN. Cummins' Protection Plank Is Tabled by a Large Vote. CHICAGO, June 20. Iowa today turned down Governor Cummins' Idea of protec tion. After the delegation had organized to day. Governor Cummins took the floor and spoKO his "idea" concisely embodied in a det of resolutions. The discussion that lasted for an hour and a half fol lowed, when the resolutions were laid on the table by an overwhelming vote. The details of the vote were not read. Sena tor Allison, who had been elected chair man of the delegation, presided. J. W. Blythe, of the delegation, a well-known "standpatter," was unanimously chosen as the Iowa member of the resolutions committee. The Cummins resolution, which Is the "Iowa Idea" up to date, are -as follows: "Resclvcd, That It is the sense of the delegation that tho National Republican platform should be broad enough to fur nish comfortable standing room for' all Republicans who believe In the essential principles and policies of the party; that upon the subject of tariff and reciprocity It phould embody In some forms, first, a clear and emphatic declaration of the time-proven policy of protection; second, an unmistakable recognition of the fact that tariff schedules must be readjusted at reasonable Intervals to meet the chang lng conditions of protection; and that any such readjustment should be made by the friends of protection. "Third, that at the next session of the present convention the subject should be taken up and such changes scheduled should be made as provided for our pro ducers and secure for our consumers ade quate protection no more, no less. "Fourth, a plain and forcible decision for reciprocity, to be established either by treaty or act of Congress, as circum stances may deem expedient, when the policy can be employed to increase pro tection at home and Increase the welfare in competitive or noncompetiti-e things." Governor Cummins and Colonel G. "W. French supported the Cummins resolu tions. Among those who spoke against the resolutions was Senator Dolllver. PORTLAND AETIST WINS.

At the meetings of the New Hampshire, Texas and Delaware delegations today Senator Banks was Indorsed for the Vice Presidency. "While no formal action was taken by the Utah delegation on the question, tho members will oppose any insertion of reference to the Mormon question in the platform.

Senator Spooner, as the Wisconsin mem ber of the committee on resolutions, and Postmaster-General Payne was re-elected to the National Committee. The "stalwart" faction In the Wisconsin fight Is showing alarm tonight at an en tirely new phase of the situation. They say Governor-La.FolIette and lieutenants have spent the day In a vain search for a single member of the credentials commit tee who will shoulder the task of making a minority report in case the majority favors the "stalwarts." This failure has discouraged the La Follette faction, it is reported, to the extent of abandoning the contest even before the committee. Should this be done, they could go before the Wisconsin voters with the claim of unfair treatment, and as having been denied a hearing at the hands of the committee. It will be much more desirable to the "stalwarts" to have the La Follette grievance thoroughly aired in the conven tion and then voted down than to have their case settled by default This phase of the situation Is to be the subject of a conference among the "stalwarts," and it may not be impossible that a member of the credentials committee may be found who will volunteer to make a minority report on the case to the convention. The Maine delegation tonight voted unanimously to cast their vote for Fair banks for Vice-President. Governor Cummins presented to the Hawkeye delegation the "Iowa idea" "in an entirely new dress. It was in the form of a plank setting forth the Idea of the declaration for reciprocity and the reduc tion of tariff schedules. It was rejected by the delegation, and this sounded its death knell, so far as the present con vention is concerned. In the Illinois caucus the contest was for the chairmanship of the delegation. Senator Cullom was opposed by Governor Yates' faction, but won out handily. It is conceded that his defeat would have pre vented his re-election to the Senate. The Wyoming state delegation perfect ed its organization today. The "stand- pat" policy was indorsed. Senator War ren was elected chairman of the delega tion. The Montana delegation today elected John B. "Walte National Committeeman, and Senator Carter member of the com mittee on resolutions, and indorsed Sen ator Fairbanks for Vice-President. The California delegation elected J. W. McKInley chairman of the committee and agreed to the following assignments: Cre dentials, George W. Reed; rules, A. Rulf; permanent organization. C. E. Clinch; resolutions. F. H. Short; National Com mittee, George A. Knight; committee to notify the President, Governor Pardee. At a meeting of the West Virginia dele gation. Senator Elklns was indorsed for Vice-President, while Fairbanks was de clared to be the delegation's second choice. At a meeting of the North Dakota dele gation there was discussion of the ques tlon of tariff reform, based on Senator Hansbrough's resolution, but the decision was reached by a majority vote to sup port the policy of anti-revision. The prevailing opinion was favorable to a declaration on the lines that were fol lowed four years ago. By general consent. Senator Hansbrough was placed on the committee on resolutions, and no objection will be made to him offering the resolu tion. "Fairbanks and 'Standpaf " is the posi tion of the South Dakota delegation. The Hawaiian and Porto Rlcan delega tions have agreed to get together In an .effort to secure the insertion of a plank in the platform favorable to a duty on coffee.

When the Governor moved that New York Instruct for Fairbanks for Vice-President, there was a cheer, and ex-State Sen ator H. S.
