CONVENT ON AUDIENCE URGES
RENOHATION OF ROOSEVELT
Senator Lodge Declares That
President Cannot Accept '
the Honor.
REPUBLICANS SLOW
IN NAMING CANDIDATE.
Senator Fulton of Oregon,
Takes Taft Side in Commit
tee Contest.
CHICAGO, 111., June 17.
Late this afternoon, it looked
as though no effort would bo
made to nominate a candidate
for president until tomorrow.
The Taft workers claim their
candidate will have a big ma-
jorlty on the first ballot.
(By Associated Press.)
Chicago, ,111., Juno 17. A de
monstration in tho Republican Na
tional Convention this afternoon,
over tho mention of Theodore Roose
velt's name threw tho antl-Taft
workers into dismay as it was evi
dence that unless Taft is nominated
on tho first ballot or soon there after
wards the convention would bo
stampeded to Roosevelt. A largo
number of the anti-Taft men are
more intensely anti-Roosevelt men,
and it is believed that they will
sacraflce their men in order to guard
against the possibility of Roosevelt
being renominated.
The demonstration was brought
about by the speech of Senator Lodge
of Massachusetts, a close friend and
admirer of President Roosevelt. Mr.
Lodge had been talking for quite a
while before ho touched on tho pres
ident. When Chairman Lodge made re
ference to President Roosevelt in his
speech "as tho most abused and most
popular man in the United States,
today," the most enthusiastic de
monstration thus far In the conven
tion occurred. Every one apparently
in tho big1 hall got to his feet. All
over the house "Roosevelt," "Roose
velt," was heard. Hats and flags
were waved and even coats were held
aloft. After seventeen minutes of
the wildest scenes, Chairman Lodge
giving up all hopes of quieting tho
crowd, sat down. The demonstra
tion continued unabated. A cry of
"Four, four, four years more," was
started throughout tho room, and
continuing like a chant, Cecil Lyon
of the Texas dejegation, got on the
platform and encouraged the con
tinuation of the demonstration. Sen
ator Lodge rapped for order, but was
unheeded. Suddenly, Miss Maude
Neal of the Chicago Inter-Ocean, in
the press staff, produced a "Teddy
Bear" and there was 'greater enthu
siasm. "Teddy" was, tossed all over
the hall. Other Teddys" came Into
playtand pandemonium regned,TThe
demonstration showed no signs of
abating, when Lodge endeavored to
resume his speech,, but at the rap
of his gavel re-started cheering.
After forty-five, minutes, Lodge tried
again and finally succeeded, in get
ting attention. When Lodge said
that any one who attempted to use
tho president's name as a capdldate
was no friend of Roosevelt, the
cheering again broke out but the set
rlousness of the statements being
made brought tho hall to a sudden
quietness.
Reports of Committees.
At the conclusion of Lodge's ad
dress, there was applause in all sec
tions of the house. Senator Warren
of Wyoming submitted the report of
the. Committee on Rules and Order
of Business. James P, Burke of Penn
sylvania, submitted a minority re
port, The members of the commit
tee from Massachusetts, Wisconsin,
New Hampshire and Utah were in
favor of tho minority report. Rep
resentative Burko took the platform
to advocate the adoption of the
minority report, and Governor Will
son spoke In opposition to the mi
nority report.
Senator Fulton of Oregon, pre
sented the report of the Credentials
Committee which was adopted with
a few dissenting "noes."
The Resolution Commltteo Is ex
pected to report late this afternoon.
Both sides assert that they control
on tho anti-injunction plank feature
and thero is a possibility that tho
matter may be fought out on the
floor of the convention. Aside from
the injunction matter, there seems
to be little difficulty ahead and that
the platform will be substantially as
desired by tho administration.
Fight In Committee.
Fourteen hours were given by the
Credentials Committee of tho Rep
ublican National Committee for the
presentation of contests, but no
change was made in the temporary
roll of delegates and alternates. Full
approval was given of tho work of
the National Committee which had
devoted eight days to the question.
Light was breaking in the east when
the work of tho committee concluded
this morning.
Charles A. Bookwalter, member of
the committee, from Indiana, voiced
the protest of the men classed as
antl Taft members of committee.
"Of tho cases submitted by the al
lies, those Involving 110 seats had
merit," said Mayor Bookwalter, "but
they were railroaded out of the hall
without any examination of the evi
dence In their support by the com
mittee; arguments wore not listen
ed to, and tho Taft men adopted
rules which absolutely excluded
members of tho committees from
participating in the debate."
Senator Fulton of Oregon, excused
the limiting of the debate to the fact
that 2,000 persons in the convention
were awaiting for the report of the
committee which provoked Book-
waiter to reply, "There are ninety
million who will have to wait until
next November."
Slow In Gathering.
Tho spectators and delegates were
slow in gathering for today's session
of the Republican National Conven
tion. Half an hour before the time
of the opening, only a few hundred
spectators were in the gallery. As
the delegates assembled, thero was
an air of uncertainty as to what the
day's session will bring forth.
Throughout the hall, tho first ses
sion spectators and delegates are
finding seats without the cpnfuslon
of yesterday. After tho band render
ed a number of airs, and a vocal
selection or two, served to keep the
crowd In good humor. At noon, the
halls and aisles became so congest
ed as to bring forth protests from
the flro authorities and a squad of
police was employed to clear them.
At, 12:19 o'clock, Senator Bur
rows brought down his gavel and an
nounced that the Invocation would
be made by Rev. W. O. Waters of
Chicago. He is a young athletic
clergyman and read the prayer from
the particular service of the- Epis
copal church. -
Harry Dougherty of Ohio, of the
Committee on Credentials, announced
that tho, report of the Committee
would not be read for an hour. Thero
is no possibility of transacting bus!-
ness until the report Is presented
and the convention has settled down
to wait Us arrival.
An effort to secure a reduced rep
resentation of delegations to the Na
tional Republican Convention failed
Iji the Commltteo on Rules by a vote
of 24 to 17.
Cummins or Fairbanks.
"Cummins or Fairbanks" is what
t,he Cummins men are shouting ad
ding that Fairbanks would take the
nomination for vice-president If ten
dered and that If ho would take it,
the administration would not accept
hm. Fairbank's men were not will
ing to accept this analysis oi
the situation, but contend that with
the presidency, disposed of the sup
porters of tho successful candidate
will only be too glad to welcome the
renomlriation of Fairbanks and that
under the pressure which will be
brought to bear, Fairbanks cannot
forbid the use of his name.
Old Timers There.
Chairman Burrows presented
Henry Baker of Minnesota, and
James D. Conner of Indiana, who
were delegates to the Republican
Convention In 185C. They were
received with great applause. While
awaiting the report of credentials,
thero was a. parade through tho hall
of the visiting marching clubs.

cial Election For That
Date.
The North Bend council has adopt
ed an ordinance providing for the
submission of the city's proposed
new charter to a vote of the electors
of that municipality September 15.

siderably since it was first adopted
by tho city council, it haying been
taken up again after Mayor L. J.
Simpson's yeto. It has been round
ed Into a shape which Mr. Simpson

which permits the city to issue bonds
for municipal improvements up to
twenty per cent of the assessed
valuation. At present, tho charter
limits the city Indebtedness to
$7,500 but at twenty per cent of the
assessed valuation the limit would
be about $200,000.

The North Bend council also pro
poses to put an end to the little dice
games and gambling. At tho next
meeting, an ordinance will probably
be enacted prohibiting dice shaking
or pool playing for money in cigar
stands, saloons or- public places.
Provision will also be made for pro
hibiting gambling of all sorts, prob
ably. Order Street Work.
The North Bend council has also
ordered the opening and grading of
Sunderland and Maryland streets in
Porter. The work will extend four

The above is a brief summary of
the business beforo the Marshfleld
city council last evening. Next to
the telephone franchise, question, the
limiting of the number of, saloons
was one of the most important mat
ters up It was brought up by the
petition of the saloonmen, intro
duced a week ago, asking for a re
ductldn In license from $600 to $400
per year. Tho council refused to
grant tho reduction in license but de
cided that it would be best for the
city to limit the number of saloons In
addition to protecting tho dealers
now operating here.
Flanagan Street Work.
The cost of the Flanagan street
Improvement from the north end of
it to Nevada street was estimated at
$3,955.40, exclusive of intersections
which will cost about $700 more.
The regular work, excluding tho In
tersections, will mean an assessment
of $2,17 per front foot against tho

ANOTHER WEEK
City Council Postpones Action
of R. T. Durett's
Application.
WARM DISCUSSION
OF PROPOSITION.
Will Hold Special Meeting Fri
day Night to Investigate
Matter.
The application of R. T. Durett
for a franchise to lnstal and operato
a new telephone system in Marsh
fleld resulted in an animated discus
sion beforo the city council last even
ing in which the Pacific States Com
pany came In for considerable crit
icism. After an hour or more of dis
cussion, tho application was made a
special order of business for an extra
meeting of the council to bo hold
Friday evening with tho understand
ing that it would not be put to a
vote until next Tuesday night. R.
T. Durett and W. U. Douglas cham
pioned tho cause of the proposed now
system while L. R. Robertson, tho
local manager of the Pacific State3
Company, and J. W, Bennett op
posed it.
In calling up tho franchise again,
Mr. Douglas said that the franchise
which Mr. Durett presented to the
Council for adoption had been draft
ed by E. L. C. Farrln, tho city attor
ney of Marshfleld. Also that the Pa
cific States Company had been given
thirty days by the council at tho re
quest of Mr. Robertson, to make up
their mind Whether they would Im
prove tho local system and glvo
Marshfleld the service that it need
ed. He said that the thirty days had
just been so much delay and the Pa
cific States Company had done no
thing, and probably would no no
thing as in tho past their frequent
promises for Improvement had not
been kept. Ho said that if Marsh
fleld or Coos Bay wanted to grow or
devolop, the council and citizens
must welcome new enterprises and
competition that would keep It up-to-date.
. Ho said that if competition
was going to be shut out, the growth
6f the city wou'd be retarded and it
never would amount: to much. Ho
said that everyone was familiar with
tho poor service given by the Pacific
States Company.
L. R. Robertson, manager of the
Pacific States Company, requested
tho council not to grant tho fran
chise. Ho said that tho engineering
department of his company had not
had time to prepare plans for tho
improvements which thoy proposed
In Marshflold. However, ho was
reasonably suro that his company
would completely rebuild their sys
tem In Marshfleld within twelve
months, and that he had just been
authorized to mako improvements
that would cost $2,000. Ho said
that, a second tolephono system
would bo merely an additional ex
pense for the people here that it
would bo a dupllcato system Instead
of a competitive one.
Bennett's Objections.
Mr. Bennett said that he wished
to talk merely as a property owner
and a citizen. He criticised the pro
posed franchtso and objected to tho
idea of having twice as many tele
phone poles and wires In tho street
as at present. He said tho size ot
tho city did not warrant two sys
tems yet. He intimated that Mr.
Durrott would not be bound by tho
franchise to put In a modorn up-to-date
system within a reasonable
time.
The lattor Intimation resulted la
Mr. Durett offering to post a forfeit
of $2,500 In cash that ho would
begin work within ninety dayB and
have his proposed system complete
within twelve mouths, tho system
to bo an automatic ono if ho can ar
range for it and if not a common
battery systom.
Councilman Sacchi thought that
tho franchise should provldo for tha
payment of a roasonablo license or
special tax by the company to tho
city for tho uso of tho streets. He
also wanted to Insist that It provide
only for tho most modern systom oh
tulnablo. Mr, Sacchi also wanted tha
