Temporary Chairman. I CHICAGO, JUNE 16. —Thousands of. delegates, visitors from all parts of| the world, still more of politicians, spectators and hangers-on today wend ed their way from all parts of Chicago to the center of the universe, at least for a few days, the Republican na- 1 tional convention hall—tho Coliseum, j Hours before the schedule time for j opening of the convention immense I throngs were about the big building. J The people came early to avoid the | rush, but tho rush could not be avoid- j ed for the crowd was so great. The j plan to avoid the rush began too early, j Creat preparations were made to I handle the crowd. Scores of police- 1 men were on hand and the sergeant-al arms stood within the building attend ing to the last details and was prepar- j pd to throw the doors open an hour be- > fore the scheduled time. The city is in gala attire. Every j businass house on State street is a j ; mass of red, white and blue bunting | and American flags. Wabash avenue j is like a triumphal parade ground from j the loop district to the Coliseum at! Sixteenth street. The leading hotels ! are elaborately decorated within and I without. j Within the convention hall early this morning the scene was really beautiful and stirring. The interior of the great building fairly groaned under the folds of bunting and flags of every nation on the globe. Many large par ties of ladies started early for the con vention hall. The Pennsylvania delegation adopt ed a resolution, as was expected, which will goto the platform com mittee, favoring a change in the repre sentations at the national convention. The change advocated is ori a basis of one delegate to ten thousand votes east at the previous election for presi dent. The sole hope ofthe allies for beating ' Taft lies with the Credentials commit tee, which for the coming 48 hours or more will hold the center of the stage of the convention. There is little rea son to believe the committee will over- j turn the verdict of the National com-, mittee 011 the matter of contested seats : in sufficient number of cases to prevent ; Taft's nomination on the first ballot. ] It is not improbable that there will j : be a few reversals, because since the I action ofthe "steam roller" proceed j ings of tho National committee, the unsuccessful contestants who really believed that they had a good chance, i have been working hard to get their ! claims in the strongest possible shape, j The strongest lawyers among the allies ■ have been engaged to work in commit tee with this material under the leader ship ot Mayor Bonwaller, of Indiana, j Frank Smith, of Illinois, and James i Scarlet, of Pennsylvania. Congress- j man Sloat Fasset, of New York, will j make the final charge on the Taft forti- j fications. It may be said that the Credentials 1 committee is as fully as strong for Sec -1 retary Taft for president as the Nati ' onal committee, and when the final ! roll of the Convention is made up on | Thursday or Friday, Secretary Malloy 5 will find it practically the same as to- j ' day. 1 President Gompers of the American | ' Federation of Labor has not received | assurance that his labor proposal for 1 the platform will be dealt with to his satisfaction. He has by no means i given up hope, saying: "Our demands I are moderate and we hope that the Re , publican party will give them proper i consideration." t The Republican convention, which is j I to name cadidates for president and 1 I vice 1 resident, and make declarations - which will be the articles of faith of j the party which has for the greater 1 part of a half century governed the j United States, started on schedule 1 time at noon.

There are fully thirteen thousand persons in the Coliseum. Prayer was offered by Bishop Mul -1 doon and ofter the presentation ofthe gravel to chairman New, the call ofthe canvention was read by Secretary Malloy. Maybe the delegates and spectators accept the idea that everything is cut 1 and dried. Maybe the fireworks will I come later. That is if Speaker Cannon, filibuster for Roosevelt, stampedes the convention or suceeds in any measure. Onoe there was a flare in the im mense building. It was when Mr. and Mrs. Nicholas Longs worth entered. The crowd recognized the president's daughter and instantly set up a cheer. Aside from this incident tho conven ! tion is splendidly orderly and reserved ly decorous. When the band played "Dixie" tho j south responded vociferously. When I a Taft banner was brought in it caused j less than a half minutes noise. At 12 | o'clock exactly the band struck up "America". A flashlight of the hall was taken as Chairman New's gavel fell. When New mentioned Roosevelt in his opening speech there was a noisy I demonstration. United States Senator Julius Caesar Burrows, of Michigan, was elected temporary chairman of the convention, as has had been previously arranged lor by the national committeo. After referring in his opening re marks to the overwhelming victory of the Republican party four years ago. Senator Burrows said in bis address upon assuming bis duties as temporary chairman: "What has the Republican party done in the last four years of govern mental coutrol—in many respects the most remarkable and brilliant in tho history oTthe party and the country— to forfeit public confidence or create distrust in its capacity for future ad ministration? Although some unto ward and unforeseen conditions haye beset the republic during the last four years, yet these have been met and overcome with alacrity and courage, and the country has marched steadily onward in its matchless course of in dustrial triumphs. The wise and be neficent legislation of tho Republican | party during the long years of its as cendency and administration of na tional affairs laid the foundation for the public weal so securely that no disquieting condition, not even a tem porary panic, which necessarily toucli ; es the mainspring of all industrial life, j could arrest the country's resistless : advance." In a few brief and pointed sentences | he traced the industrial growth and I development of the country during the past four years, and then reviewed in eulogistic terms the records of the ex- I eeutive departments of tho govern , ment. He spoke ofthe achievements of the last session of congress; of the Ameri can shipping interests; of the tnanage - 11 pggjgj ' | A fme line of Groceries Crackers, Cookies and Notions.

In closing his j speech he said: "The work of this convention will soon be concluded. The platform will j voice the dominant thought of the peo I pie, and the candidates nominated ' must stand upon it firm and erect. They must have the patriotism of a | Lincoln, the tenacity of a Grant, the wisdom and moderation of a McKin i ley, and the courage ot a Roosevelt.
