OTHERS OBEY STATE WISH Revolting Members of Delegation Try in Vain to Speak,' but Jeers and Hoots From Convention Pnt Them Confused to Seats. " CONVENTION HALL, Chicago, June 2i. (Special.) Henry W. Coe and rui TV lAfraMAn aWatM from Oregon,- Instructed by the primary to vote in tne rtepuDiican nmuuw vention for Roosevelt, tonight refused to carry out their Instructions and re fused to cast any vote. When the Oregon vote was called by delegates, all the other delegates, led l. ,.i 1 f'r, V. ..1 1 r.aut llipir DJT V IBI llinu ii i j . votes for Roosevelt. When Oregon was called Campbell explained that under the Oregon law all Oregon delegates were oouna Dy me- twib ui iu pcwinv to support Roosevelt in this conven tion, but that two delegates, though , ..hij twftiM tn vntiL Ha de manded' that the roll of the Oregon delegation be called. The roll call showed Bynon, Camp bell. Carey. Hall, McCusker. Smith, Swift and Boyd voting for Roosevelt and Coe and Ackerson announcing themselves present and not voting. Crowd Howls Dnri Ackerson. a m inW.nrtn rnsii la announce bis vote. he shouted: "I refuse to vote .,. .r. tr-kd " Ha evl dently Intended to make an extensive speech, but got no further than this when he was drowned out by the howls and hoots oi tne convention, was anxious to adjourn. Later, when Coe's name was called, he mounted his chair and started to speak Instead of casting his vote. TkiHv.fiv vAm" was all that Coe said when the clamor of the crowd overwhelmed him. He conunueo. to w . . . ,, rt, nk nna fnulf, hear him. Ackerson also jumped on a chair and joined Coe in the harangue directed at Chairman Root, waving his arms and acting like a wild man. Thro crowd refused to hear Oregon's two delegates who disfranchised tnemseives, ana io were finally brought to order and forced to take their seats. Keur Vote for Platform. On the roll call on adoption of the platform presented to the convention by Fairbanks, the Oregon delegation cast four .affirmative votes, namely: Smith, Bynon, Carey and Campbell. McCusker and Hall voted no. Boyd and Swift were absent, while Coe and Ack erson. though present, refused to vote, thus carrying out their agree ment reached last night In conference with the Roosevelt leaders. Washington voted 14 solid for the platform. The Idaho delegation went on record as opposed to the Roose velt bolt programme. Idaho cast eight votes for the platform as presented by Fairbanks, refusing to follow the ultra Roosevelr aptlon,- which was refusing t j vote. " Idaho's delegation was the. first In the Rcosevelt column to support the Chicago platform, and its switch to the Taft column-brought out roars of ap proval from the Taft element In the convention. CHICAGO PLATFORM GIVEN (Concluded From Page of the people may in no way be un duly or artificially Increased. Baakla- aa Currency. The Republican party has always stood for a sound currency and for safe banking methods. It Is respon sible for the resumption of specie pay ments and for the establishment of the gold standard. It Is committed to the progressive development of our bank ing and currency system. Our bank ing arrangements today need further revision to meet the requirements of current conditions. We need measures which will prevent the recurrence of money panics and financial disturb ances and which will promote the prosperity of business and -the welfare of the laboring people by producing constant employment. We need better currency facilities for the movement of crops in the West and South. We need banking ararngements under American auspices for the encour agement and better conduct of our for eign trade., In attempting these ends, the Independence of Individual banks, whether organized under National or state charters, must be carefully pro tected, and our banking and currency svstem must be safeguarded from any possibility of exploitation by sectional, financial or political Interests. It Is of great Importance to the social and economic welfare of this country that Its farmers have facilities for bor rowing easily and cheaply the money they need to Increase the productivity of their land. It Is as Important that financial machinery be provided to sup ply' the demands of farmers for credit as It Is that the banking and currency systems be reformed in the Interest of general business. Therefore, we recommend and urge an authoritative Investigation of agri cultural credit societies and corpora tions tn other countries, and the pas sage of state and Federal laws for the establishment and capable supervision of organisations having for their pur pose loaning of funds to farmers. The Civil Service. ' We reaffirm our adherence to the principle of appointment of public of fice based on proved fitness, and ten ure during good behavior and effi ciency. The Republican party stands committed to the maintenance, exten sion and enforcement of the civil serv ice law, and It favors the passage of legislation empowering the President to extend the competitive service so far as practicable. We favor legislation to make possible the equitable retirement of disabled and -superannuated members of the- Civil Service. In order that a higher standard of efficiency be maln- talned. - We favor the amendment of the Fed eral employes' liability law so as to extend Its provision to all Government employes as wH as to provide a more liberal scale of compensation for injury and death. Cssisslss Contributions. We favor such additional legislation as may be necessary- more effectually to prohibit corporations rrom contrib uting funds,- directly or Indirectly, to campaigns for the nomination or elec tion of the President, the Vice-President Senstora and Representatives in Congress. We heartily approve the act of Con gress requiring the fullest publicity In regard to all campaign contributions, whether made In connection with pri maries, conventions or elections. . Conservation Policy. We rejoice In the success of the dis tinctive Republican policy of the con servation of our National resources, far their use by the people without waste and without monopoly. we pledge ourselves to a continuance ' such a policy. - '' We favor such fair and reasonable rules and regulations as will not die courage or interfere with actual bona flde homeseekers. prospectors and min ers in the acquisition of .-public- lands under existing laws. Parcels Post. In the Interest of the general pub lic and particularly of the agricultural or rural communities, we favor legis lation looking to the establishment, under proper regulations, of a parcels post, the postal rates to be graduated under a xone similar In proportion to the length of carriage. Protection of American Cltlsenshln, We approve the action taken by the President and the Congress to -secure with Russia, as with other countries, a treaty that will recognize the absolute right of expatriation and that will pre vent all discrimination of whatever, kind between American citizens, whether native born or alien and re gardless of race, religion or previous political allegiance. .The right of asy lum is a precious possession of the people of the United States and it is not to be surrendered nor restricted. ' The . NaiT. We believe In the maintenance of an adequate Navy for the National defense and we condemn- the. action of the Democratic. House . of Representatives in refusing; to authorize the construc tion of additional ships. Merchant Merino. We believe that one of the coun try's most urgent needs Is a revivd merchant marine.' There should 'je American ships, and plenty of them, to make use of the great American inter oceanlc canal now nearing; completion. Flood Prevention. - The Mississippi River is ' the Na tion's drainage ditch. Its flood waters, gathered from 31 states and the Dom inion of Canada, constitute an over powering force, which breaks the levees and pours its torrents over many million-acres of the richest land in tBe Union, stopping mails, imped ing commerce and causing great loss of life and property. These floods are National in scope and the disasters they produce seriously- affect the gen eral welfare. The States, unaided, can not cope with this giant problem; hence, we believe the Federal Govern ment should assume a fair proportion of the burden of its control, so as to prevent the disasters from recurring floods. -Reclamation.

We challenge successful criticism of the it years of Republican) Adminis tration under Presidents McKinley, Roosevelt and Taft. We heartily re affirm the Indorsement of President McKinley. contained In the platform of 1900 and of 1904, and that of Presi dent Roosevelt, contained In the plat forms of 1904 and 190S. We Invite the Intelligent judgment of the American people upon the ad ministration of William H. Taft. The country has prospered and been at peace under' his Presidency. During the years in which he had the co-operation of a Republican Congress, an un exampled amount of constructive leg islation was framed and passed in the interest of the people and In obedience to their wish. That legislation is a record on which any administration might appeal with confidence to the favorable Judgment of history. We appeal to the American elector ate upon the record of the Republican party and upon this declaration, of Its principles and purposes.-- We are con fident , that under the leadership of candidates here to be nominated our appeal will not be In' vain; that the Republican party will meet every, just expectation of the people whose ser vant it is: that under . Its administra tion and its laws our nation will con tinue to advance: that peace and pros perity will abide with the people and that glory will be added to the great republic CARD OK THANKS.
