SPRINGFIELD, 111., Sept. . The repub
licans of Illinois met here 'today In state
convention and nominated four trustees for
the University of Illinois, selected presi
dential electors and adopted a platform.
Roy G. West, chairman of the state central
committee, called the convention to order
t 10 o'clock In the state senate and Intro
duced Joseph G. Cannon, speaker of the
house of representatives, as chairman of the
convention. Former Congressman Frank
Dickson of Ramsey was chosen secretary.
The convention was not as largely at
tended aa In former years, because there
were no contests of any consequence, for
the primary election held August t de
termined the candidates for state offices.
The convention was more of a harmony
meeting, and efforts were made to har
monise all factions and smooth over all
feellnc that was engendered during the re
cent primary election.
Speaker Cannon in his speech to the con
vention urged that all differences be forgot
ten and that there be unity and harmony
all along the line and that everybody work
for the success of the state and national
ticket-
Former Secretary of the Treasury Leslie
M. Shaw also made an address. His speech
dealt mostly with national Issues.
Shaw oa Bank Issue.
Mr. Shaw touched on the financial crisis
of last year and said;
Since the panic the question of remedial
legislation has been all-absorbing. Mr.
bryan again seems to have studied sen'i-
ment and popular prejudice. Instead of con
ditions, and has rushed In, as Is his custom,
where statesmen fear to tread. He prom
ised in his platform the creation of a fund
for the relief of depositors in failed and
falling institutions, national and state.
A fund for the relief of depositors to be
of any value must be available when the
panic is at Its height. Those In charge of
such a rune would find It advisable to re
spond In some measure before a bank ac
tually closed Its doors or it would be com
polled to respond. In full measure lmmil-.
ately following suspension. The trust
companies of New York alone lost In de
posits $320,000,000 In forty days, yet no de
positor has or will lose a penny, and no
stockholder will realise, less than par for
his stock. It would have required $2ui,000,00o
to have safeguarded the banks or xsew
York City alone, and at least $fi00,000,000 for
the entire country during the panic of last
year. For with a fund created by assess
ment and under government control, direc
tors would not sacrifice their Indlvlduul
fortunes as they did last winter to save
their Institutions. They would throw the
responsibility of suspension and . wide
spread disaster upon the government. Let
the government assume such a responsi
bility and the government will be called
upon to make good. It might as well be
understood that the government will have
to keep out of the banking business or face
the consequences of banking.
Senntor Hopkins, Governor Deneen and
the republican congressman present also
made short addresses.
When Chairman West introduced Speaker
Cannon as chairman of the convention the
the delegates arose and cheered vigorously.
Cannon Makes Address.
. After the convention was organized by
the appointment of the various commit
tees, Speaker Cannon began his address.
He eulogised the administration cf Presi
dent Roosevelt and declared the record of
the republican party was an open book,
and upon that record the campaign would
be fought. He defended the rules of th-
house of ,representatlves and declared the
minority members during the last session
of congress for two months obstructed In
every possible way the transaction of busi
ness. Referring to union labor, Mr. Cannon
said he believed the laboring men should
organise, but thought It wrong for a few
leaders to attempt to control' the labor
vote. Mr. Cannon declared with great
emphasis that If he were re-elected to con
gress he would never vote for any bill
that provided a law for one class as
against another. The speaker aroused tho
enthuslaam ef the convention when he said:
"This republic of ours Is not worth three
hurrahs In the place that burns with fire
and brimstone If It has within Its borders
privileged classes. Rich or poor, wise or
unwise, the law of civilization should
spread over all alike."

WRIGHT SMASHES ALL RECORDS
His
Aeroplane
at Fort Myer
Re-
mains In Air Fifty-Seven
and Half Minutes.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 9. Another record
breaking aeroplane flight was made by Or
vllle Wright at Fort Myer today. At 8:13
o'clock in the morning he made the accent,
rose easily in the air and traveled with
perfect control. He circled above the play
grounds fifty-eight times, was In the a!r
fifty-seven minutes and thirty-one second,
his speed apiroxlmat ng thir.y-six or thirty
eight miles an hour. This is sta'ed to
smash all previous aeroplane records.
Mr. Wright expressed himself as highly
pleased at what had been accomplished by
his machine and declared that had he
known that he wi'S so close to bolng In the
air an hour ho would have remained that
much longer. He said ho came down bi
cause his motor slipped once or twice and
that he thought ho had only been In the
air for half an hour. He promptly an
nounced that he would make another at
tempt later In the day, possibly not until
in the afternoon. Except for the slipping
of the motor no trouble whatever was ex
perienced In the working of the aeroplane.
Everything worked as smoothly as the
most perfectly adjusted clock and the man
who essayed to beat all previous records
In this branch of aeronautics handled his
Invention with as perfect ease as a trained
engineer would handle the lever of his
locomotive.
To some of those who had been closely
watching the performances of the machine
the new record did not come as a com
plete surprise. Orville Wright has all
along expressed complete confidence in his

Tired, but happy, the "tag ladies" fin

assurance that their efforts will net $5,000,

But tho game began long before S:30
Wednesday morning. One prominent mem
ber of the Real Estate Exchange awoke
to find a red tag protruding from the
pocket of his pajamas and with It a check
filled out for $10, to which his signature
was noon attached. ' A patient at CJarkson
hospital made the first large1 donation,
paying" $100 for his tag. while C. N. Diets
paid $500 for another, this being the star
contribution of the day. Several $100 tags
were sold, while down at the counting
room the $5 and $10 bills were numerous
and the silver dollars, half dollars, quar

One of the banner gifts of the day was
that given one of the young women sta

Approaching a middle-aged man, making
her appeal and offering a tag, the man
asked what the money was for. When he
learned It was to go to the Clarkson hos
pital he pulled out a roll of bills and handed
her one of a $100 denomination.
"When I was in St. Louis," he said, as
he handed over the greenback, "I was taken
to an emergency hospital and they treated
me so well that I have never forgotten It.
I hope this may help to show my apprecia

watch what would happen. "Don't you
want to buy another tag?" Inquired one of
the women.
The man looked surprised , but finally
stammered. "Why, I haven't another button
to fasten it to."
"Yes he has Misses, he's tryen to dodge

"All right," langhed the man. "Put It
