little or no consideration at thia time. De

occupied in th. next few days. The presi
dent likes to go into the details of the
different departments.
The question of a larger naval station at
Guantanamo. Cuba, la one of th. mu,,...
hich may be taken up. The station would
cost several million, of dollars. IncluHi-
perhaps SS.ti.av for a dry dock or LW.M.
for a floating dock.
Whether the Guantanamo plan will be re
ported to congress or- not Is still prob
lematical. There are several alternative
propositions that have been suggested to
the naval experts, among ihera being Pan
ama. Pensacola and the south coast of
Porto Rico.

Then the colonel swept away to his head

Vice President Sherman came this morn

I The .vice president, however, came in for
a spirited demonstration- tonight, when a
marching club of some S00 members with a

was a tlm when I preferred my own voice
to others. I shall not assure you that I
will speak In the convention, but rather I
will speak In the convention tomorrow if a
majority so will. I always bgw to the will
of the majority, which a my only boss.
Tou don't want to hear a speech now and
I don't want to make one. I do uVetre to
express my thanks to the stalwart body ot

the republican party many gfeat men in

fact that the rank and file of the party
elected them to leadership, tl la the pos-
