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.

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.

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

W. Falbanks, of Indiana, for Vlce"-Eresl-denfc
The meeting was very harmoni
ous. Governor Odell personally named
Senator Piatt as chairman, and moved
that he cast New York's vote as a unit.
When the Governor moved that New York
Instruct for Fairbanks for Vice-President,
there was a cheer, and ex-State Sen
ator H. S. Fassett said:
"I want to say that I think Governor
Odell's proposition a very sensible one.
We all know Senator Fairbanks and wc
know that he Is a capable and patriotic
man. He will lend strength to the ticket."
The resolution was unanimously adopt
ed. Senator Depew was chosen chair
man of the caucus. Senator Piatt to cast
the vote of the delegation, and William
L. Ward to be National committeeman. All
of the Brooklyn delegates, including Gov
ernor Woodruff, were absent, but It was
understood they were being dined and that
they had previously acquiesced In the pro
gramme followed by the delegation.
After the New York delegation had ad
journed with three cheers for the ticket
there came the first enthusiastic Incident
of the day. Senator Depew, trying to pass
down stairs, was Intercepted by a crowd
of delegates, among whom were many
Indiana men. Compelled amid great cheer
ing and the music of a band to speak. Sen
ator Depew said:
"We of New York have held a conven
tion which will be ratified tomorrow and
tho next day. We have nominated Theo
dore Roosevelt for President and Charles
W. Falbanks for Vice-President, and they
will be Indorsed. We have written a plat
form of principles and It will be ratified
tomorrow or the next day. We are people
who have received grace and are abso
lutely sure of salvation. Our convention
Is quiet because a certainty produces no
excitement. In conventions when they
riot and fight they fear public opinion. I
have never seen more harmony than that
at the New York meeting tonight. That Is
important because as goes New York so
goes the Nation."

The Above Eeward Will Be Paid for the Arrest and
Conviction of Any One Claiming to Be Our Agent.
People should beware of so-called "doctors" who are now canvassing
this city from house to house in search of victims. Your eyes are of too
much value to you to entrust them to that class of fakers. You would not
trust them with your pocketbook; why should you with that which is of
more value to you sight? They may guarantee their glasses to be as
good as any one's, but in a short time when you see how you have been
fleeced, of what value is the guarantee? Where will you find the man
who is to make it good? He has departed with your money, leaving you
some cheap, ready-made glasses and a supply of valuable experience.
But don't give him the chance. Consult an established optician of
acknowledged ability, who will give you an honest opinion concerning the
condition of your eyes. If we find, on examination, that glasses will
benefit you, we will recommend them, but if, in our opinion, you do not
need them Ave will plainly tell you so.
Our refracting room is equipped with all that is modern in the way of
instruments for the thorough examination of the eye. You may depend
upon an honest opinion every time, and also on finding us here at any time
to make good our guarantee.
Mr. R. A. Thompson, who has had over 16 years experience in fitting
glasses, and who is one of the best refraction specialists in this country
will personally examine your eyes without charge. OREGON OPTICAL
