Although the Lowden forces fought back stubbornly. It appeared evident that the position of the governor has been weakened to such an extent as to make bis nomination , extremely problematical. General Wood was strengthened by the reaction against Lowden, it being evident that the general, with more delegates to his credit than any other candidate, is going to give his allied antagonists a desperate battle when the Is balloting begins.

The convention Is unbossed in the sense that It waa bossed at different times by Mark Hanna, next by Theodore Roosevelt and latterly by the Old Guard under the grand marshalshlp of Senator Boles Penrose. The Old Guard, true to the traditions hallowed by Victor Hugo, dies, but does not surrender. The Re- guard of the last decade 1s Subltcan old the new guardsmen maneuverfor their places are finding the proing gressives entrenched and e force necesto reckon with. The counsels of sary the wisest leaders among the conservatives are clearly being directed toward conciliation of the progressives and If this advice prevails, as now seems likely, there will be no attempt to ride rough shod over the men who have waged the tong fght against Bourbonism In the Republican party. Every candidate. Is going to be given a full and fair tryout in the convention.

But speaking about length I refer you to the keynote speech of Henry Cabot Dodge and I dont know what key It was In bu I would say It was a sustained note as noon and when we It started about walked out of the convention at one oclock, he was Just getting warmed up. The trouble with having Mr. Lodge make a speech is that he is probably the only delegate to the convention that can speak English and of course the rest of the delegates .couldnt understand him and besides they wanted to sleep so Heurys keynote speech will go down In history as a speech that was never beard, and it it was heard, It wasn't understood.

In the first place we go i here about 11 o'clock and got to our seat by knocking down a lot of good reporters and then Mr. Hays Introduced the secretary of the national committee, and he read the official summons to the convention out of a book and if that part of the program had of been left out we would of ell thought It was a six day bicycle race So then come the prayer and then the band, played Dixie and as usual the crowd thought it was the Star Bpangled Banner and stood up with their heads beared, and then Mr. Hays said be wanted to introduce the temporary chairman, Mr. at. n I,odge, and It took 2 gents and 1 lady, Including Chauncey Depew, to escort the speaker to the platform. t Lake Tribune Lnsed Wire.

His greatest cheers were given when he criticized the president and ridiculed some of his policies. His attack on the president, repeated throughout his address, seemed to find high favor with the listening body of delegates. The great convention hall, the meeting place of many of the Republican gatherings of the past, presented a picturesque sight when the doors were, thrown open and the delegates and visitors began to file in.
