Cknreh of Memphis who had. been un-
seated by the credential committee
said ho would not ask the conrentkm to
consider a minority report ; .

IChnrch "but I shall take mjr (ht back
to Tennessee.'' The report of the cre-
fdential committee was adopted without
Mlssent and the contention next heard the
i report from the committee on perma-
nent organisation.. It was presented by
Qprernor Morrow of Kentucky . its chair-'
man. As sfreed upon it recommended
that the temporary organisation bo made
permanent The convention liked the
(idea of aaving time and escaping another
keynote speech end sdopted the motion
fwith cheers. Senator Lodge got an-
jother demonstration when he stepped
(forward this time as permanent chair-
'man of the convention:. -
The best way to show my gratitude
ito the convention for its action'" said
Senator Lodge "will be to tell you there
will be no speech by the permanent
chairman."
The convention acknowledged its ap-
preciation of that with more applause.
Paul Howell of Cleveland O. pre-
sented the report of the committee on
'rules and order of business.
Exaevtlva Camnlttee Enlarged.
The reoort recommended Resting dele
gate representation in the national con-
vention at four delegates at large from
each State one delegate from each con-
gressional and one additional delegate
Ipr each district in which not less thin
7000 votes bsve been cast tor republican
'candidates at the last election.
The only new material in th rules
Chairman Howtand announced wis an
increase in the executive committee of
(the republican national committee from
10 to 15 members snd a new assistant
secretary.
' - "Without laying so in expressed
terms"' he said "this is to take care of
our reinforcements to the republican
party the ladies."
The understanding is that the addi-
tional places all will go to women.
The convention speedily "adopted the
report
Limits Speech MaklSf.
Chairman Lodge announced he would
enforce the rule limiting speakers to
five minutes'and one speech on the same
subject on the same day unless the
convention obtained otherwise. The
resolutions committee sent word it could
jonly report progress and was not resdy
'to present s platform yet
Chairman Ixtdge asked the convention
; what it wanted to do in the meantime
and there were cries of "Depew Depew"
from the floor. Mrs. Hume was on the
platform waiting to spesk and some had
thought the honor of first addressing
it ho convention would go to woman.
Mr. Depew walked out on the speaker's
platform to sn accompaniment of ap-
plause and cheers.
"He needs no introduction to a repub-
lican convention" said Senator Lodge
Introducing him.
Chauacey Deaew Speaks.
"Senator Lodge says I'm an old man.
but he's mistaken" said Mr. Depew. "A
man down Southfwho heard me speak re-
cently wrote ms a letter and said he
'heard I claimed to Je only 80. i
" 'AH 1 have to say is' he wrote 'that
you are either a miracle or a damped
liar."' . -; '
Mr. DDw?faid4he country needed ex-
periencefVttestttaWip to deal With the
.problems growiutaut of thfwarr de-
' daring (hat the republican party had
Handled it "with ability" after the civil
war and had proved its ability to. do so.
Takes FUnt at Wilson.
Mr. Depew took several flings at Presi-
dent Wilson's trip te Europe to the great
amusement of the delegates. Other presi-
dents he said hsd dealt wits) foreign
nations but had selected the best brains
and men in the country to go and do It.
"When Mr. Wilson went to Europe and
(the politicians and diplomats said to him
'What do you want' he replied 'I want
a league of nations a heaven on earth
of which I shall be the recording angel.' "
The convention got a good laugh out
of that.
"The league of nations is there and
there is no man who can add one word to
the description which wss given by our
chairman. Senator Ledge. As I travel
about man after man comes to me and
says 'I always bsve been a democrat
but Mr. Wilson has taken away every
principle of the democratic party and I
want you to nominato a good man and
"I think during the summer miaous
of these democrats will vote oar ticket"
. Dsttw ttoaofat for G. O. P. .
At that point Mr. Depew couldn't re-
sist the temptation to tell story.
Then in serious vein Mr. Depew
sneaking aa-a veteran of 69 years on the
republican platform prophesied that out
of the convention would come wisdom
and enthusiasm and that the nation
"standing for the principles of Wash-
ington Line In and Roosevelt would take
1U place as a leader for the peace and
unity and civilisation of mankind." . r
There were calls for various speakers
after Mr. Depew had retired and amid a
whirlwind of. cheering Mr. Lodge intro-
duced Mrs. Margaret Hill McCarter of
Kansas who got rounds of cheers.. -
The convention stood while Mrs. Mc-
Carter took the platform. She wore a
dose fitting turban with a neck piece of
monkey far and a .taupe gown.
Mrs. McCarter wss in good voice and
evidently reached the fartherest part of
the hall.
The First Woman Speaker.
"The women of America" she said
"are organised and trained and ready for
the duties of ciatsenship. .We stand by
the party that never- has failed in its
loyalty to the good old Stars and Stripes.
The woman of America must follow that
banner and I pledge you that the woman-
hood of America will not be found want-
ins in unholdina renublican ideals.' At
the ballot box we stand ready to fight
witn you that in all toe coming years
thst our nation with its ideals or repub-
licanism shall endure and ' the Star
Spangled Banner in triumph shall wave
o'er the land of the free and the home
of the Brave."
Mrs. McCarter's speech was short but
snappy and the audience liked it. me
movie man demanded a shot at the first
speaker on a republican platform.
"Please be quiet" asked Senator
Lodge" While we endure one of the af-
flictions of public life being taken for
the movies."
Movie Maa Shoot.
While the movie men were getting
their "shots" a song leader distracted
the attention of the convention in singing
the battle hymn of the republic. '
The audience entered into the spirit
of the thing and sang the chorus "Glory
Olory Hallelujah" with - the accent on
the 5h."
Tire song leader was ready for another
effort but was escorted to 'a seat by
Charles 8. Warren of Michigan one of
the platform committee.
There were some loud cries for "Uncle
Joe" Cannon from the floor but Chair-
man Ijodge announced that the former
speaker wss not in the hall.
Then there were cries for sdjournment
and Senator Wsdaworth moved that the
convention adjourn ' and meet - at 11
o'clock tomorrow morning. While the
adjournment motion waa being put Mayor
William Hale Thompson vainly tried to
St the attention of the chair to announce
st the Illinois Steel company had in-
vited the delegates and alternates to
luncheon. '
"The lunch will be waated if it la not
announced" pleaded the mayor.
' Although the convention had been ad-
Jonrned Chairman Lodge succeeded in
getting some attention a.V the secretary
announced the invitation.
