"Of the cases submitted by the ‘al-
. iios'.” said the mayor. “those involving
110 seats had merit. but they were
railroadod out of the hall without ex-
amination of the evidence in their sup
port by the committee. The arguments
woro‘rnota , to at all. and the
Taft roan modules which absolute-
ly excluded... boys of the committee
from pa, , in the debate."
The dissatisfaction which Mayor
Bookwalter felt with the procedure
of the committee manifested itself the
aomont the meeting was called to or-
Benator Charles W. Fulton, of 0re«
sou. having been elected chairman.
stated that 2,000 persons in the com
vention awaited the report of the ore
dentials committee. This was an ar~
gnmont in favor of limiting debate, or,
in other words, in favor of a plan to
adopt the report of the national com.
mittee without hearing any of the con-
tests. which provoked Mr. Bookwalter
to reply that “there are ninety million
people who will have to wait until next
November;
Representative .1. 810st Fassett, the
New York members of the committee
had favored the scheme for a "blan-
ket" approval of the work of the nu-
tionai committee, but in reply to Mr.
liookwaiter's comment, he said:
"Well. i suppose; we will have to
let the molasses run."
“Not molasses, but vitriol," rctorted
Mr. Bookwalter sharply.
The colloquy between these men is
an illustration of the bitterness of feel-
ing which frequently was shown by
both Taft and anti-Taft adherents. The
statement was made by Mr. l‘iookwal-
for that the minority report would be
signed by fully a half dozen members
of the committee-and that in all prob-
ability its adoption would be advocal
ed by Senator Gallinger and himself.»
When the. committee met and or-
ganized, Chairman Fulton was empow~
ered to appoint a committee to draft
rules to govern the procedure in bear-
lng the contests. This committee con-
sisted of ve members. Mr. Fassctt
being the chairman. A recess was
taken while the rules were being
drafted. ,
The subcommittee dclfiyed so long
in reporting that the anti-Taft lllf‘lll
bers of the full committee conceived
the idea that “gag rules" were being
prepared. These reports spread, to
the delegations whic were waiting to
be heard and had th eilcct of ardua
ing still more ill feeling. After an
hour's wait the report of the aubc’om~
mitten was submitted to the full com-
mittee and it was adopted without di-
vision. lt consisted practically of the
same rules that governed the national
committee in considering the contests.
Among other things it prohibited mem-
bers of the committee from indulging
in debate and in many other ways was
designed to economize time.
With the preliminaries out of the
way, the Alabama contests were cail~
ed. Twenty-two seats in the conven“
flop Were involved. After incompara-
tivoly short time for arguments the
committee sustained the action that
has been taken by the national com-
mittee in this case. A test vote was
had, however. showing that of the
men who were in the room when a dis
vision was had, the Taft forces were
supported by 31 votes againstiseven.
At no time during the long night ses
sion was there any other test of
strength, but the members of the com»
mittee favorable to the "allies" said
they were outnumbered four to one.
The action that was taken in case after
case indicated that the estimate was
not far from correct.
Sweeping through contests from Ar-
kansas. Florida. Georgia. Kentucky,
Miss sippi. Missouri, Ohio, Tennessee
and cxas. the Taft delegations were
seated without a break. The contests
from all other states had been with-
drawn. Ilefore the night was half ovv
or it was plain to everyone that the
“allies" would not succeed in over-
turning a single decision which has
been made by the national committee.
When Texas was reached, Chairman
Fulton invited the members of the
press into the committee .room that
they might listen to the argument
made by Col. Cecil A. Lyon, national
committeeman from Texas, an inti‘
mate friend and frequent host "of”
President Roosevelt. Colonel Lyon is
not a lawyer, but in a picturesque and
forceful manner he advocated ‘ the
cause of the Taft delegation. involv~
ing thirty-six seats—the whole state
delegation.
He was opposed by A. N. Sanger. of
St. Louis. The result was the same
as in all of the preceding cases.
After the committee had adjourned
Chairman Fulton and Representative
Fassett asserted that the cases of the
"allies" Were Week in every particular
and could not have been decided oth-
erwise than as they were. Both of
these gentlemen said that the charge
that the national committee was pre-
judiced in favor of Secretary Taft had
been refuted and the committee, fully
vindicated.
Mr. Fulton announced that he would
not draw the report of the committee
until after he had had a few hours‘
sleep. it was not his Intention, he
said. to enter upon any discussion of
the merits of the case, or into any do
tense of the national committee, but
if necessity areas for such a defense
he would make it on the floor of the
convention. He expressed the opinion
that after the dissatisfied members of
the minority had an opportunity to
sleep for a few hours over the ques-
tion they would change their minds
on the subject of presenting a minority
roport. .
Down td business at last, the four-
teenth Republican national convention
entered upon its second day with sev-
rai important factors unsettled, and
with trouble enough in sight to nuke
it practically certain that at least two
days more must be consumed before
nominations can be made, and the
work of the convention completed.

were ihe little groups of wiscacres

Meanwhile the real questions imme-
diately at issue were being thrashed
out b the committeeb In the TOSOIU-
tions. The proposed plank in the plat-
i'orm relating to the use of court in»
junctions in labor controversies was,
of course, the principal bone of con’
tentlon. The committee referred the
question to a subcommittee, and the
subcommittee late in the evening ad-
journed until this morning. At that
lime surface indications pointed to a
long and bitter struggle. late in the
night, however, it became known that
a compromise was likely, that efforts
were making in get together on an in-
junction platform fairly acceptable to
all the various elements interested in
the subject. Such a compromise
would remove a faction which not only
would have greatly prolonged the do.
liberations of the committee, but it
carried at. last to the floor of the con-
vention, would have precipitated a
struggle, the outcome of which would
be difficult to forecast; for while it
early became evident that the major-
ity of the subcommittee was In sym-
pathy with the views of the admiuia.
tration on this subject, there was
some doubt whether this was true of
the whole resolutions committee. The
bitterness which has been displayed
on both sides of the question gave a
threat of a storm of no small propor~
lions should the controversy be flung
into the convention in its crude form.
The. committee on rules and order
of business also had troubles of its
own,and adjourned until this morning
with an unsettled controversy of im-
portance on its hands. This was over
the proposition to reduce the ratio of
representation in future national cou-
ventions. The question is before the
committee in the form of two results.

them, will have an important effect
upon the status of the negro member-
ship bf the Republican party in the
south. A lively discussion on this mat-
ter was expected when the committee
resumed its sessions this morning.
in view of these important matters
before the committees, it was assum-
ed at the (nitset that today's session of
the convention would be comparative-
Iy perfunctiounry. In far as the main
purpose of nominations is concerned.
The features of the day were expected
to be a parade of the visiting march-
Ing clubs, the reports of the commit-
tees, and the speech of United States
Senator Henry Cabot hedge, of Massa-
chusetts. as permanent chairman of
the. convention.
If compromise today upon the dis-
puted planks of the platform, and if
battles over the corfimittee reports do
not. extend over nlg t, there seems to
be a fair prospect that tomorrow will
be clear for the nominating speeches,
and that the close of the day may see
the close of the convention. One of
the most remarkable and welcome fea-
tures of the ocuvention so far has
been the ideal weather. The early
hours gave promise of anothef pleas-
ant day, fair and cool, after the fashion
of mid-September. This condition
greatly refreshed the weary hours ofv
the night committee sessions, and in
general has contributed to make the
physical surroundings of the great con-
vention more than usually comforta-
ble. in ’ fact, it has been almost too
cool for comfort at times. The women
who, accompanying their husbands
and fathers to the convention, have
made the hotels gay with bright colors
and daint gowns, have found the
strong lake breeze‘rathcr penetrating.
But. to those to whom the convention
is an occasion of unremitting toil and
protracted meetings In” close and"
crowded rooms. it has been a god-
send.

1. Raymond Introduced the following
resolution: . .
Resolved. That the City Council be
and they hereby are rednested to so
cent the offer of Andrew Carnegie to
give the city Twenty Thousand Dollars
for a free public library on the terms
named in IfiId offer, namely. that the
,city shall agree to expend at least Two
Thousand Dollars pen year in the main-
famous of a free public library and
furnish a preper site for the library
buildinx. ~
Mr. Light stated that. all that Mr.
Carnegie required whs that the Com-
mon Council agree to expend 32,000
r year to maintaln'the library build-
ng and provide a site.
Mr. swartz seconded the resolution.
Hebelieved he was one of the original
subscribers to the present library. The
project was started by the late Gen-
eral Nelson Taylor, ’and the library
had steadily grown,.aud he believed
the time had arrived for better facili-
ties. More light is heeded. and more
room is also needed for books than
there is at the present building. it is
doing every man, woman and child a
good deed by establishing a suitable
library.
Mr, Raymond said it was his pleas-
ure to be associated not only with
General Taylor, but also with Prosi
dent Taylor, of Vassar College, when
$1,750 was raised for the purpose of
establishing a public library here. i:
President Taylor, and one of the very
first questions he asked was “How is
my library getting along?" lie believ
ed the gift should be accepted, and
that it would afford the original do.
era of the library much pleasure if it
was voted favorably.
William H. McMahon said it strucl.
him that the city was suddiilig liseii
with a stated cxpen iIurc of $2,000 a
year. While this if rary might suil
us, it was not right to saddle futuri
generations with something they might
not want. Some places that bad re-
ceived Carnegie libraries did not. want
them, and were trying to get rid in
them.
Frank H. Fitch wanted to know tht
~osi of maintaining some of these it
uuries. Would it, cost $2.000, $3,000 in

Mr. Light said ibo'communlfy was

the future it will he sees ‘ry to get
more money tmriiuuj ,lihrfiry, wheth-
er We accept this gift or not. The
present building was given the city
for library purposes, and now much of
it was used for city oflices. Of course
Mr. Carnegie wants to know what is
to be done with his 820.000, and it is,
but natural he should. When any one
makes a gift like that they generally
designate that it should be used for a
certain purpose. and it is quite evident
the library will never be used to a
less extent than it is now with our con.
stantly growing population.
Charles Bosch inquired if the pres-
ent building, which was given the city,
as Mr. Light stated, could be used for
other than librar purposes.
Mr. Light repl cd that he thought it
could.
George S. North stated that the
building could be used for city pur-
poses, or sold, if another library bulld-
lng was provided. Anyone in the city
was Welcome to go there to read all
the periodicals, mugaaiuos, daily
papers, etc, and hundreds took advan-
tage of the library facilities each day.
The. library has been crampc for
room, and much good materia had
been stored in the busement.
Mr. McMahon said he thought he
had been misunderstood. He was in fa-
vor of a library, but'Mr. Carnegie at-
tached a penalty of ten per cent. to
his gift. if the city wanted a library
it could go ahead and bond the city
for four per cent... and there would be
a difference of six per cent. to run the
library.
Mr. North said the

it was likely to increase.

Charles E, Jennings inquired how
the city obtained title to the building.
He understood first the present, IJIJIIII-
ing could be disposed of for "2,000.
if the present building can be disposed
of, a sufficient sum would be realized
to secure a allegand the cost of maiu~
tenancc would have to be provided as
at present. and it could be done with-
out imposing any additional burden on
the taxpayers.
Mr. McMahon again said the impres-
sitinpwmed in be that a building could
be erected for 820.000. They had one
uptown which cost that sum. The price
of building material had increased
as i-3 per cent, since that building was
erected. LOOK at the Lincoln school

can get, for $20,000. it. cost in the

buildiu within the appropriation, and
maintai‘n it within the 32,000. We have
many other ways to expend money.
We have just expended $100,000 for
better water facilities. We should
erect the building as economically as
we can.
Mr. Light said he had change his
mind about accepting gifts. M, tion
had been made of a string attached to
the Carnegie libraries. A' building
erected for library purposes cannot
very well be used for anything else.
Would you erect a library building if
you knew it was not to be maintained?
There certainly would be a tacit agree-
ment to do this. He never knew of a
community which had abandoned a
school or library. He would be willing
to expend $30,000 if necessary to conr
struct a building.

struggling
to get libraries, and obtaining facili-
ties for the citizens to increase their
knowledge. The Norwalk library
could have cost much more. and We
could spend more than $2,000. The
Norwalk library has a lot of unneces-
sary room. and of course this. has to
be heated. The same is true of our
schools, but if we go at this right a
structure could be erected for $20,000.
We should accept this gift. A library
,building is erected for library pur-
poses. The money is forthcoming as
the building progresses. and as the cer-
tificates of the architect is received by:
the secretary. He did much of the work
of constructing the Norwalk library.
and he believed they were essential
in any community. ‘
The resolution was read again. and
carried unanimously, no one voting
against it. .
Mr. Raymond ihensubmitted the fol-
lowing resolution: ,
Resolved. That the Board of Direc-
tors of the Public Library be and they
hereby are requested to recommend a
suitable site to a city meeting to be
called to hear such recommendation
and to approve or disapprove of the
same, and to embody in their report
such information as they may be able
to obtain of the probable cost of a site
andthe most. feasible way of raising
the money to pay for the same. _
This likewise passed without a dis-
senting vote. and the meeting ad-
journed.
