was the entire duration of the two ses
sions today of the Republican Nation
al convention, with a recess of fonr
hours between. The first session con
vened at noon, lasted four minutes;
the second, one minute.
The feature of the convention was
the prayer of Very Rev. Walter T.
Sumner, dean of the Protestant Epis
copal Cathedral of St. Peter and St.
Paul, of Chicago. He dealt directly
with the sensational factional conflict
In the minds of everyone. He prayed
that there should be granted to the
members of the convention "self re
straint, cool Judgment and all wisdom,
that their deliberations may insure
to the Nation civic righteousness, in
dustrial peace and social justice." As
he closed there was general hand-
clapping.
Demoaatratloa Follows Adjournment.
The afternoon session was remark
able, not so much for the fact that it
lasted a bit less than one minute, as
for the extraordinary conditions that
ensued upon its adjournment.
Almost with the fall ' of Chairman
Root's gavel, there broke out a pan
demonium of cheering whjch lasted
almost as long as that of yesterday.
It had scarcely a definite cause, though
Its Immediate occasion was the effort
of a man in the west gallery to swing
the great gathering Into unison with
the cry. "We want Teddy." It started
all right, but almost Immediately the
. La Follette, Hadley and Cummins en
thusiasts began an opposition turmoil
and there was simply one meaning
less chaos of noise.
Under cover of the racket and at
first unnoticed by the crowd, there
began to assemble on the platform a
body of big policemen, first one and
then another, until In a fen minutes
there were ranged along the curved
edge and at the back of the platform
some 20 policemen, commanded by As
sltant Chief Bchuettler.

and they began devoting their attention
to getting out.
Sergea
sistant. Colonel Thayer, never had left
the platform.
One of tbe reasons for the immense
crowd today was the general Impres
sion that Colonel Roosevelt would
come to the convention and make a
speech; also there was considerable
reason to assume from the morning
newspapers that today would see a
bolt of the Roosevelt adherents: pos
sibly an attempt to hold a rival con
vention simultaneously in the hall.
The crowd, which waited for a driv
ing rain storm to cease, was good
humored, but it was a situation full of
possibilities and the convention offi
cials were taking no chances. Assis
ts n Chief Schuettler was loath to turn
the crowd out into the storm. So, for
more than an hour the police guard
surrounded the platform and the con
vention officers kept their places.

In the Coliseum annex the creden

of the contests. It was word from the
committee that the work could not be

that brought about the quick adjourn

the real news was developing nearly
a mile away from the hotels. Chief of
Police McWeeny took personal charge
of the police and his orders were so
strict and so harshly enforced that
even legitimate ticket holders, includ

at 11 o'clock and continued until the
gavel fell. The music was varied to
day by a woman's singing.
Scarcely any 'nofrt-e was taken of
the arrival of Chairman Root, who
stood for a moment, the target for a
battery of photographers.
Applause Follow Prayer.
The gavel fell a few minutes after
noon, and Dean Sumner offered prayer.
There was applause at the conclusion of
the prayer.

Need for Frotection.-
To tell the Oregon bankers the need
of central banks in the United States
for the protection not only of banks
out also business interests, John Perrin,
chairman of the hoard of the Fletcher
American National Bank, of Indian
apolis, and a member of the monetary
commission appointed by the Eastern
banking interests, has come here to
attend the Oregon State Bankers' Asso
elation convention at Gearhart Park
Saturday. He arrived in Portland
Wednesday and was entertained by
bankers at luncheons and on an auto
mobile ride.
vt e are striving for legislation to
make these great central banks possi
Die, - said Mr. Perrin.- "This is not a
move for the protection of banks so
much as It Is for the protection of the
business Interests of the country. It is
not the banks that suffer during
financial panic as much as It- is the
business interests. For that reason it
is as necessary for business people to
get behind this move as it is for bank
era. The United States In the only
world power that does not have a cen
tral bank.
Speaking of money conditions, Mr.
Perrin said: "The country is as well off
at present as it usually Is during Pres
idential year. It seems to be a general
opinion that business grows poor during
such years, but this is erroneous. Good
business is evident this year by in
creased railroad tonnage. Increased
railroad earnings and Increased bank
clearings. We have large credits in
Europe, which shows that this country
is faring well financially and there is
no immediate danger of trouble."

concerned and recognition of the direct

today in the rules governing the Na

of tne convention. The Roosevelt mem

Bolters to Be Deposed.
The 'steam roller" amendment pro
vldes that when any member of th
committee bolts or refuses to support
ine nominee or tne rtepubllcan party, h
shall be summarily deposed. The com
mittee then is empowered to name his
successor.
In the past the successorshin was die
tated by the state central committee of
tne state affected.
The rules committee, however, held
mat inis would give to a state the nn
portunlty to name to the vacancv man
holding precisely the same views as the
member deposed. Therefore it was de
cided that the- power of appointmen
should be delegated solely to the com
mittee itself.
Recognition of the primary system of
election of members of the committee
was contained In an amendment nrovlrl

Primary System Criticised.
The adoption of this amendment.
however, was not accepted until the pri
mary system had been severely con
demned in debate.
U. L. Rennal. of Arkansas, said that
io ine -primary law was due the "dis
grace we bear by having as representa
tive In the United States Senata the
Hon. Jefferson Davis." Governor Car
roll, of Iowa, said the only difference
between the old and the new system In
iow was that the present leaders were
TTiore bossy bosses" than their prede
cessors. It was denied emphatically
that the changes were made to throw a
sop to tne so-called "progressiva
states.
"The National committee realized that
It was proceeding with rules that were
not official," explained D. J. Lake, of
Connecticut. "As a result It named a
subcommittee several months ago to
consider necessary changes, long before
the present controversy In the conven
tion was foreseen. Therefore the
changes are non-partisan."
Marshal Stlmson, of California, sou flit

management the Weber instruments
obtained that degree of tonal excel

DErENDABLENESS.
We know that every reader of The
Oregonlan and every other Western man
and woman knows at least 100 peopla
well enough to Influence them. If,
then, there were no other reason, this
alone is enough to make us extremely
cautious of our treatment of . every
buyer, large or small.
We will not sell anything that we
know is not right, for in doing so we
might make one profit, but would for
ever lose the opportunity of getting
you to patronize us again and of get-,
ting your friends to buy here.
Ours Is actually the only "home" mu
sic house. We live here we are per
manently located here. We pay no mid
dlemen's profits nor agents or agency
commissions, and we expect to do busi
ness here in years to come.
You can have confidence in our judg
ment. The heads of our concern, and
the managers of each department, are
trained from boyhood In this particular
line of work. You can have every con
fidence In our store and our methods.
You need never be suspicious of any of
our claims.
You can believe every representation
we make, because whenever anything
from our concern does not do credit to
our name we will refund every penny
you have paid us, no matter when you
demand it. or upon what grounds yon
base your claim.
These, in short, are some of the rea
sons why you should buy at headquar
ters, at Eilers Music House, not an
"agency," not a "branch," but Port
land's "home" piano institution, the
biggest, busiest and best, in the Eilers.
