"The sig nificance o? the overwhelming Insur gent victory In Kansas is two fold." uld Congressman Victor Murdock to day. "First It Is a complete repudiation of both Cannon and the system by which he has robbed the people of free government In the House. Scott. Mil ler and Reeder were chairmen of Im portant House committees, while Cal derhead was on the ways and means committee. All were beaten because they subscribed to the Cannon system. "Second The Kansas Insurgent vic tory is an effort by the Republicans of Kansas to say with emphasis to the Nation that the Republican party of Kansas, by indorsing Governor Stnbbs and the insurgents In Kansas, stands for immediate and effective leg islation framed to drive special and selfish Interests out of control In American pottles.

The Taft pollciea "In fulfillment of the work so conspicuously Inaugurated by his distinguished predecessor." were In dorsed fully. Hepburn, his gray hair bristling aggressively, read the minority report. As the purport of the concluding para graph praising the Iowa delegation for its support of President Taft became apparent, his voice was drowned in a chorus of cheers, hlsseei and cat call Again and again he attempted to make himself heard but It was only after much pounding of the gavel by Senator Dolliver that the veteran waa able to conclude. Platform Vote, 815 to 568. He moved the substitution of these planks for those of the same applica tion in the majority report and tha motion was lost, set to sis.

Evans were renominated for the Su preme Court bench by acclamation. A. M. Deyoe was the choice on the second ballot for State Superintendent of Public Instruction. District caucuses were the first work of the day. The fight In the Second District was prolonged. George M.

E. pAdler. the state central commit teeman, was ousted In favor of George Hllslnger. The committee on permanent organi zation, which stood to i progressive, brought forward the names of Senator Dolliver and J. C. Mabray. the latter a "stalwait," of Albta. for permanent chairman. This furnished the first test of strength, Dolllvir winning S34 to 54. Tariff Not Satisfactory. The platform adopted reads In part as follows: "The Republicans of Iowa reaffirm their loyalty to the Republican Na tional platform ot 1008. and especially emphasise their long and well-settled faith in the Republican doctrine of pro tection. They do not recognise the tariff revision of 1109 as a satisfactory fulfillment of the party promises. In order to bring the tariff law Into a complete compliance with the rule of the platform it Is necessary that the difference between the cost of produc ing dutiable commodities at home and abroad should . be correctly known. Therefore, they favor the creation of an Independent, non-partisan tariff commission which shall ba the Instru mentality of Congress to ascertain the difference between the coat of produc tion here and In other countries and publish the facts so that not only Con gress but the people shall ,be advised or the results of Its investigations. Until such a commission Is authorised, they approve the effort of the Presi dent to secure the desired information through a board of experts employed for that purpose. "Competition must be restored where It has been overdone by unjust or unlaw ful combinations and It must be main tained where it still exists. Railroad Valuation Asked. Thav congratulate the country upon the success obtained In the regulation of our common carriers but they feel that there Is yet much to be done to secure reasonable rates and charges to which It is entitled. All common carriers should have fair compensation, but no more. It la clear that to enable the railroad com missions, both National and state, to dis charge the duties Imposed upon them by law. a valuation - should be made oi m physical property of railroad companies to secure an effective control ot rates ana a complete system of accounting. "They Indorse such efforts as President Taft and his advisers have made to fulfill the promises of the National platform and which have been In harmony with the declaration of this convention. "They commended to the Nation tha type of statesmanship exhibited by Senatora Dolliver and Cummins and Revision of Rules Commenced. they heartily Indorse their work. "They commend the action of the House of Representatives In revising rules giving to the Individual member a greater freedom of expression and initiative in the discbarge of his duty and they indorse the contributions of Iowa's Representatives to this most important reform. "The Republicans of Iowa are the best Judges of the Republicanism of the Senators and Representatives whom they send to Congress and they resent any attempt to exclude any of them from the honors and privileges which properly attach to membership In the Republican party. "In the administration of state af fairs, a high degree of efficiency on the part of Governor Carroll and of all official associates Justifies the contin ued confidence of the people In Repub lican control." The platform concludes with an In dorsement of the postal savings bank bill, suggesting, however, as does the Democratic platform recently adopted at Ottumwa. that the law should pro vide that savings deposited with these banks shall be retained on deposit for use in the communities where the de posits are made. The policy of con servation of. natural resources, income tax and good roads are upheld. United States Senators should be elected by direct vote of the people, the platform says.

Aug. t Parliament adjourned today until November 15. During the recess the conferences between the lead ers, trying; to seiua me oinoniuuuiioi differences of the House of Lords and the House of Commons, will be continued and the expectation Is entertained that a compromise may be reached and possibly announced on the reassembling of Par liament November 15. Several of the points In dispute have been adjusted and Premier Asquith. in a statement to the Commons July 29, re ported that discussions had so advanced during 12 meetingrs as to render It. in the opinion of all the conferees, not only de sirable but necessary that they should continue. The most Important work of the new Parliament has been the adoption of Chancellor Lloyd-George's contested bud get, the struggle over which, during the preceding Parliament, brought the long standing controversy between the Com mons and the Lords to a head and caused the dissolution of Parliament and a new election. pnr.1., Anmiith's fnhinpt having been sustained at the elections, the budget was adopted and. under the Jnnuence oi mo King's death, both parties were Inclined to seek a friendly adjustment of the dispute over the Lords' power to veto rather than precipitate new elections while the Nation was still in mourning. Friendlier feelings of the parties also were noticeable in the discussion of the bill modifying the King's accession dec laration, that the old-time phrases against the Roman Catholic doctrine be elimi nated, and the declaration be made ac ceptable to all the King's subjects, non conformists as well as Roman Catholics. The woman suffrage bill, which after a preliminary discussion waa buried in committee of the whole, and other con tested measures were deferred until the Autumn meeting of the Parliament. x In the Colony of Tahiti mother-of-pearl shells are found chiefly In the Tuahota (or Low Archip.lso. which embraces the Tua motu or Paumotu) and the Gambler Islands and extends in a southeasterly and north westerly direction for 1000 miles, the great est width of tills belt of Islands being iOO miles. .
