According to the terms of the National Committee's call the membership was fixed at 1,076, but New Mexico having chosen two additional delegates, they were allowed to sit, raising the membership to 1,078. Control of the convention depended upon the settlement by the National Committee of 250-odd contests, and the committee's decisions in many of these cases were bitterly denounced by Colonel Roosevelt and his supporters, and the attitude taken by the Roosevelt delegates toward the committee's action, subsequently ratified at every point by the Committee on Credentials and the convention itself, led to the refusal of 343 delegates to vote on the platform, of 344 to vote for the nomination of a candidate for President and of 352 to vote for a candidate for Vice-President. It also led to the naming of Colonel Roosevelt as a candidate for President on June 22 by a rump convention. When the convention was called to order a resolution was offered by Governor Hadley of Missouri, excluding 92 delegates from participation in the proceedings until their cases had been heard by a committee on credentials. That resolution, after some debate, was ruled out of order. Thereupon Senator Root, of New York, was chosen temporary chairman of the convention by the following vote: Root, 558; Governor Francis E. McGovern, of Wisconsin, 502; W. S. Lander, of Wisconsin, 9; W. L. Hauser, of Wisconsin, 3, and Senator A. J. Gronna, of North Dakota. Five delegates did not vote. On June 19 Governor Hadley renewed his fight, seeking to prevent 78 of the delegates on the temporary roll from participating in the work of the convention. He offered a resolution "purging" the temporary roll, which after a long debate was laid on the table by a vote of 564 to 510, four not voting. On June 20 nothing was accomplished, no committee being ready to report. On June 21 a third Hadley resolution excluding 72 delegates, was laid on the table by 569 to 499 The Central Park of New York is two and one-half miles long and half a mile wide and comprises 840 acres, being about twice the size of Hyde Park or Regent's Park in London. and votes were then taken on various cases reported from the Credentials Committee. On the contest in the 9th Alabama district the vote sustaining the committee was 605 to 464. On the Arizona case it was 564 to 497. On the 4th California district case it was 542 to 529. Thereafter the Roosevelt forces practically ceased voting. The platform was adopted on June 22 by a vote of 666 to 53. There were 16 absent and 343 not voting. The same day William H. Taft was renominated for the Presidency. The division of states, territories and dependencies was as follows: James S. Sherman was renominated for Vice President, getting 597 votes, to 14 for Herbert S. Hadley, of Missouri, and 21 for William E. Borah, of Idaho. Seventy-one delegates were absent and 352 did not vote. THE PLATFORM. The platform was as follows: The Republican party, assembled by its representatives in national convention, declares its unchanging faith in government of the people, by the people, for the people. We renew our allegiance to the principles of the Republican party and our devotion to the cause of Republican institutions established by the fathers. It is appropriate that we should now recall with a sense of veneration and gratitude the name of our first great leader, who was nominated in this city, and whose lofty principles and superb devotion to his country are an inspiration to the party he honored-Abraham Lincoln. In the present state of public affairs we should be inspired by his broad statesmanship and by his tolerant spirit toward men. The Republican party looks back on its record with pride and satisfaction and forward to its new responsibilities with hope and confidence. Its achievements in government constitute the most luminous pages in our history. Our greatest national advance has been made during the years of its ascendancy in public affairs. It has been genuinely and always a party of progress; it has never been either stationary or reactionary. It has gone from the fulfilment of one great pledge to the fulfilment of another in response to the public need and to the popular will. We believe in our self-controlled representative democracy, Representative which is a government of laws, not of men, and in which order Government. is the prerequisite of progress. The principles of constitutional government, which make provision for orderly and effective expression of the popular will, for the protection of civil liberty and the rights of men and for the interpretation of the law by an untrammelled and Independent judiciary, have proved themselves capable of sustaining the structure of a government which, after more than a century of development, embraces one hundred millions of people, scattered over a wide and diverse territory, but bound The first brewery in New York was established by the West India Company upon |
