The swift, sure current of public opinion for the sec ond time in the history of the Repub lican Conventions, today resulted In the selection of a National ticket -without a dissenting: vote. Theodore Roosevelt, for President, and Charles "W. Fair banks, for Vice-President, received every vote In the convention. . Regardless of the fact that the nom ination of one had been assured for months and the other for days, the announcement of the choice -was accom panied by a resounding: demonstration which attested the candidates' universal popularity. The cheering1 -was led by figures known through the breadth of the land and echoed by a mighty throng of en thusiastic men and radiant women as sembled In the Coliseum to witness the crowning feature, as well as the close of the National Convention that marks the semi-centennial of the Republican party in the United States. Roar of Cheering Deafening. No loss than 10.000 men and women participated In the ratification of the party programme, and the consequent roar of cheering and handclapplng was deafening. The band stationed high among the girders of the hall was drowned by the tumultuous, unbounded demonstration. Hats wore tossed Into the air, state emblems were waved and flags, beautiful, trl-colored, shimmering Bilken flags, fluttered from every hand as though stirred by a gale. His Name Comes From Every Throat. "When Ex-Governor Black, of New York, made his speech nominating President Roosevelt to succeed hlmsolf as President, the dologatcs In the Re publican Convention proved there is no absence of enthusiasm in their ranks when occasion Justifies exhibition of that quality. For 25 minutes the great throng told its approbation of the con vention's choice for President. The name of Roosevelt came from every throat. The New York delegates pa raded the hall shouting at the tops of their voices. Other delegations joined the procession and the well-ordered body of half an hour before was a shift ing mass, every semblance of organiza tion cone. "While the demonstration was at its height. Chairman Cannon stepped to the front of the stage. . He held in his hand the banner which Was waved In 18G0 when Lincoln was nominated and which l as been used in qvcry convention since. The flag showed the wear and tear of many similar contests. "Uncle Joe" Beats Time. "Uncle Joe" waved It vigorously and kept time with his body. Soon the whole convention was swaying in ex act measure. The chairman tired, and his place was taken by a young man who grasped the flagstaff firmly In one hand and with a megaphone led the yelling. He started to yell "Roosevelt, Roosevelt. Roosevelt." repeated over and over again with the system of a college yell. It was taken up by the throng, and the cry of "Roosevelt" rolled ovor tho hall in volumes so great (Concluded on Pace 3.) ''.."" ' ' f .., i .'.; .'..'.;. . WDM BY HIS SPEECH Black Captivates the Oregon Delegation. BEST OF THE CONVENTION Beverldge's. Effort Is a Little Over shadowed' by the Man From New York Cortelyou Has Grown In Power and Dignity. CHICAGO, June 23. (Staff Correspond ence.) The general Impression of the Oregon delegation today was of unquali fied admiration of ex-Governor Black, In creased fondness for "Uncle Joe" Cannon, and some slight disappointment with Sen ator Beveridge. In polish, the New York orator easily excelled every other speaker here, not excepting the masterly produc tion of Mr. Root. The ex-Governor's ad dress was. in fact, like a string of beads, every sentence being a pearl of clear-cut rhetoric Senator Beveridge had to measure up to a very high standard, and may be. for given If he did not reach to the supreme place hoped for him by his Oregon ad mirers. And then, while Black talked about the two parties, and Foraker about the Vice-Presidency, and Knight about socialism, and Carter about Hanna, it was tho falthfu.1 service of Beveridge to speak of the man that was his proper theme. It was not his purpose to dwarf the living by reference to the dead, but he entered fully into the spirit of the new regime, trenchantly hinted at by Doolllver, and perhaps unintentionally by Depew. New Type of Men Taking Control. . The Republican party is passing Into the control of a different type of man a type whose most eminent exponent Is Theodore Roosevelt, and whose striking exemplars are Root, Cortelyou and Beveridge: AVhat they represent Is not so much statesman ship of the "Webster school, . or practical politics of the Morton and Hanna school, as It Is the high-toned ' scholar and gen tloman that the President has In mind in his frequent exhortations to decency and cleanliness. The men of whom I speak are clean In life and In speech. They are true to their domestic ties; they are decent In de meanor and language: they drlnk spar ingly at banquets, and they prefer to lose in politics If to win it Js necessary to re sort to corrupt "methods. In my Judgment. It may be necessary for ail who approve this sort of thing to rally to the support 6f the Republican ticket next November, for already there are mutterings that, while Cortelyou is an estimable man. and an able executive, he Is weak on the resources of practical politics. A? Senator Beveridge said, Roose velt has been nominated by the American PORTLAND, NOMINATED BY NATIONAL REPUBLICAN CONVENTIOM FOR fireside, and it. is- the . influences emanat ing, from, the .American, fireside that will have to elect him. t From the contemplation of a political atmosphere of this pure and serene qual-1 lty, it is with sickness at heart that one turns to "the spectacle of its antithesis so soon to be on exhibition- at "St. Louis: " ' Movements of Oregon People.

Business will keep Judge Carey here" for a week yet, and possibly take him to New York also. Oregon Banner Arouses Enthusiasm. An Interesting feature of ,the parade about the hall at today's demonstration was" a banner borne aloft by two stalwart figures bearing the legend: "First Gun for 1904 for. Roosevelt; Oregon, 23,874; Re publican Gain 40 Per Cent." The banner was the contrivance of Dr. Coe, who got it up on the spur of the moment after the convention met. . Many .speak of the Ore gon election. Mr. Cortelyou, In particu lar, seemed very enthusiastic over it. He seemed to me to have grown greatly In power and dignity since I saw him four years ago at the ."White House, and I should hesitate to set bounds to his fu ture career. E. B. NOMINEES WIRE EACH OTHER. Roosevelt' and Fairbanks Exchange Very Cordial Messages. CHICAGO, June 23. Senator Fairbanks was at his hotel when he heard of the nomlnatipn by acclamation of President Roosevelt and he promptly sent this tele gram: ' '.'Chicago. . June . . 23.-r-The President, ."Washington: I am pleased to extend to you my heartiest congratulations upon your nomination amidst great enthusiasm. "CHARLES "W. FAIRBANKS." Later In the afternoon the Senator re ceived this telegram, dated "White House, June 23: " "Permit me to extend to you and the country my heartfelt congratulations on your nomination. I need' hardly add how pleased I am personally. "THEODORE ROOSEVELT." In reply the Senator telegraphed the President: "I thank you for your cordial congratu lations. To be named by the convention as your associate in the great campaign that Is before us is a distinction which I deeply appreciate." The Indiana delegation marched in a body to the Senator's hotel from the Coli seum and gave film a rousing greeting. The Senator and Mrs. Fairbanks leave here tomorrow for Indianapolis, where they will be tendered a reception tomor row night. Hundreds of telegrams were received by the Senator this evening from all parts of the country, and by nightfall Fair banks buttons were everywhere to be seen. The Indiana delegation In the House of Representatives this afternoon sent .this dispatch to President Roosevelt: "The members of the Indiana delegation in the House of Representatives congratu late you upon unanimity and enthusiasm in your nomination. Roosevelt and Fair banks will receive the electoral vote of Indiana In November " OREGON, FRIDAY, JUNE YIELDS TO NEW YORK Alabama Gives Up First Place When Roll Is Called. BLACK TAKES THE PLATFORM In a Speech Which Always Fascln j ates and Frequently Electrifies, He . Nominates Roosevelt and Pandemonium Breaks Loose. CHICAGO, June 23. It was 10:30 o'clock when Speaker Cannon called the conven tion to order. "Without preliminaries of any kind he announced the order - of the day and Instructed the secretary to call the roll for nominations for President. By agreement, Alabama, the first state on the roll, yielded to New York. That was the signal for the first outburst of applause. In the midst of the cheering ex-Governor Black made his way to the platform. "Un cle Joe" Cannon took him to the front and characteristically introduced him. to. the audience. But the orator chosen to present the name of Roosevelt needed no introduction. The delegates proved this, and also that they knew his mission by giving him a rousing reception before per mitting him to proceed. Mr. Black entertained his audience by a discussion of party principles He com pared Republican standards with those of other parties. "With his keen sense of humor, and the deep thought displayed In his address, .the orator fascinated always. frequently electrified, his listeners. He led up to the nomination gradually by de fining the type of man best suited for the party color-bearer. As he named Theo dore Roosevelt as the best example of that, type, the convention rose. The New York delegation led In the cheering, which almost Immediately spread to every, part of the' floor, to the .galleries, and to the crowds' which filled the entrances and overflowed Into the streets. When Hoarse, Allows Band to Join In After the crowd had yelled itself hoarse It permitted the band to participate In the demonstration. The leader chose patriotic music, and the familiar words were taken up by the convention and sung with ear nestness. The band changed Into rag time, and the convention found cheering was better timed to the music There was no pause in the enthusiasm. Several times Speaker Cannon walked out on the pro jection to the-platform extending between rows of press seats and lifted his hands for order. The crowd thought he was leading the applause and paid no atten tion. "When from sheer exhaustion the throng lessened its tumult. Speaker Cannon -found his opportunity. Going to the very edge of the platform he knelt, and pounded the floor for order. When lie had gained the attention of the. convention, he announced that the flag he had been raising was 24, 1904.

His speech caused another out burst in honor of the nominee. Senator Beveridge was recognized by the chair for the purpose of seconding the nomination of Mr. Roosevelt for President. He was followed by George A. Knight, ot California. Mr. Knight had a voice which fairly thundered through the hall. He (Concluded on Page 3.) CONTENTS OF TODAY'S PAPER National Republican Convention.

IOWA NAMES::: HIM DoIIiver Places Fairbanks in Nomination. SPEECH APPLAUDEDfO ECHO States! Having Favorite Sona An - nounce Their' Withdrawal--"Bou-quetv for Cannon Causes Him , to Blush Like Schoolboy. CHICAGO, Juno 23. Yielding her place at;, the head of the list to New York when nominations for President were called, Alabama gladly did so again when it came time to select a running mate for President Roosevelt. The rank was this time given to Iowa, and Senator Dolllver,. taking the plat form, named Senator Fairbanks. The speech was an eloquent indorsement of the candidate's qualifications and was re ceived with tremendous applause. Sec onding speeches were made by Senator Depew, Senator Foraker, Governor Pennypacker, of Pennsylvania, and ex Senator Carter, of Montana. All were applauded to the echo, and the great pop ular demonstration which greeted the unanimous nomination by the convention was an enthusiastic tribute to the Indiana statesman, whose name was thus Joined with Roosevelt. Favorite Sons Withdraw. "When Illinois, Nebraska, Missouri and Colorado were called, announcement was made that the candidacies of favorite sons had been withdrawn. The entire vote, therefore, was cast for Senator Fair banks. The usual resolutions of thanks to offl cers of the convention and to commit tees on arrangements were adopted and the great body was adjourned. Speaker Cannon came In for ono of the resolutions, and he blushed like a school by as the word "bouquet" was given him. He made 11 speeches during the day, each a few crisp, original sentences, in troducing the 11 orators. His audience never tired of watching nor hearing hfm. He was a sauce to the proceedings. His Jerky walk to and from the peninsula of the rostrum that projected Into the audi ence amused every one. He kept a tight hold on' the right hand of each speaker with his right hand and swung the gavel In his left- The wide sweep of the heavy mallet rather terrified members of the press who were within range, for some times their heads escaped by not more than an inch. Even Cannon's Toes Work. "When Speaker Cannon spoke his whole body shook, his left arm made full cir cles, both legs vibrated, and even his toes 'could be seen working up and down In his shoes. His control of the convention was complete. PRICE FIVE CENTS. WINS BIG PLANT Packing -House Com ing to Portland. TO COST $500,000 Founders Will Fight Beef Trust. FUND MUST BE RAISED Business Men and Stockraisers to Take $250,000 Stock. COMMITTEE'S HARD WORK Preliminary Arrangements Will Be Completed July 9, When Officers of Independent Packing Com pany Come to Portland. CONDITIONS PORTLAND MUST MEET. "While the announcement has been definitely made that Portland will get an Independent packing plant, certain conditions must be met la order to make It a. certalny. A site must be chosen. Several available locations are under consideration, but the preUinl narles have only been begun. Stock to the amount of 3220,000 must be sub scribed by theOtoclcmen of the Pacific Northwest. Proper rallpoad facilities must be guaranteed. The "available supply of livestock must be sufficient to Insure the running of the plant at a profit. At a meeting to be held In Portland July 9, the .project wUT prob ably take more definite shape. DENVER, Colo., June 23. (Special.) Portland, Or., is to have a $500,000 packing plant, In connection with the campaign ol the Independent Packing Company against the beef trust. This definite an nouncement was made In Denver today by offlcers of the National Livestock As sociation and Independent Packing Com pany, who will all Journey to Portland for the meeting July 9, when the prelimi nary arrangements will be completed. The business men of Portland and the stock growers of Idaho, Oregon and Washing ton are to subscribe a fund of $250,000 to insure the immediate building of the plant. The favoritism shown members ol the beef trust by the railways in the mat ter of rates is the cause of a plant being projected at Portlandr The fattened cattle raised In the states of Oregon, Idaho and "Washington are to be used entirely for local and export con sumption. Swift, Armour and other Arms, having a monopoly in the East, with their rate of JL50 a hundred pounds from the Missouri River, are an effectual bar to a Western beef Invasion of the East. Tha Independent Packing Company also an nounces that the old plant acquired al Kansas City will be occupied and In oper ation by the end of the year. The foregoing announcement means much for the City of Portland. It means that a long, well-directed campaign by the city's commercial bodies through a committee consisting of R. Livingstone, Henry Hahn, Jay Smith, L N. Flelschner, J. C. AInsworth, Colonel R. C. Judson and E. M. Brannlck has resulted successfully. Ever since the Independent packlng-housa Idea had Its Inception, almost two years ago, Portland's claims as a favorable point for the location of one of the pro posed plants have been quietly urged by some enterprising gentlemen who have the city's Interests at heart. The movement took definite shape .at the convention ol the National Livestock Association held here last January. At that time officers of the newly organized Independent Packing-House Association came here and were interested in Portland's availability as a packing center. They were shown what the city had to offer In the way ol transportation facilities, both rail and water, desirable sites for yards and build ings and a convincing array of statistics showing the resources of the tributary territory. -The representatives of the In dependent Company seemed favorably dis posed and the committee has been steadily at work ever since. $250,000 Stock Must Be Subscribed. Although it is definitely settled that 'a plant-which will represent an investment of not less than $300,000 will be located here, many of the details are incomplete. The conditions under which Portland se cured the first of the Independent plants are certain concessions to be made by the railroads, the subscription of at least $250, 000 worth of the company's stock and tho promise ofsufflclent shipments of stock to make it' possible for the packing-house to operate. Although these have practi cally been arranged, no actual subscrip tions of stock have been made. "Wealthy stockraisers all over Oregon, "Washington, Idaho. Montana and Utah have agreed to become stockholders, and at the confer ence to be held here, on July 9 it Is likely (Concluded on Page 14. F7! 1 OA, O
