OVER THE OF ROOSEVELT Alabama Republican Convention Met by a Decided Split When Declaration Favoring Him Was Made There Was Also Opposition to Condemning Child Labor Roosevelt's Dismissal of Vaughan Said to Be Cause Birmingham. Ala., Sept. 17. W'h?rt the Republican state convention reas sembled It was evident there would be a fight an that part of the plaform as reported by the committee, endorsing Roosevelt for rcnomination. This op position is understood to have had or igin in the recent action of the Presi dent in removing William Vaughan, the Republican state chairman from the of fice of district attorney for North Ala bama, for alleged neglect of duty. There was also feeling of opposition to the clause in the platform cor.dem nine child labor in the cotton mills. When the resolutions were read, thai part endorsing Roosevelt for the nom ination in 1904 brought out loud cr'.es of "No. no!" The platform as reported reaffirms the Philadelphia platform, favors child law legislation relating to work in cot ton mills, urges the extension of educa tion in the state, condemns the spirit which seeks to arouse the prejudice of people against the railroads, advocates the enactment of laws so regulating railroads as adequately to protect the interests of the people, but opposes any drastic measures which may deter In vestment of capital in railroads and in dustries in Alabama. The platform then says: "We endorse the wisdom of the Dingley tariff law and urge a continuance of that policy. The nominees of the Democratic party of Alabama go before the people ask ing further suffrage without a single issue or promise on any subject what ever. Therefore we declare that if we are given power, tre shall enact laws as will carry into effect the Republican policies we advocate, which will bring the greatest good to the greatest num ber: we express faith in Roosevelt s thoroughly American patriotic ideas, and believe his leadership establishes confidence both in Republican prin ciples and the prosperity and progress of the country. We therefore favor nts ronnminalinii to the KTeat office he fills with patriotism and ability." National Committeeman J. W. Dim mick and State Chairman William Vaughan endorsed the administration of party affairs in the State. After read ing the platform J. H. W. Smith of Bir mingham offered a substitute the same as the original report except that it omitted all reference to the endorse ment of Roosevelt for renomination. The substitute was vigorously debated and the convention was thrown into turmoil. Dozens of men were on the floor at the same time demanding rec ognition. Some speakers upheld the substitute, declaring it was too early to a'sPeak out 011 tne campaign of 1904. while others cnargea iroai an euun ums made to knife the Republican president , ! Finally the roll was called and the sub- stitute defeated by a vote or 1&8 to Mb. The resolution was adopted by a large vote. GOLD FISH.
