In two speeches which won him ovations Mr. Bradley -declared for harmony. He moved that the rules and order of business be suspended before the report of the committee on credentials should be announced, and thit Mr. Yerkes, the temporary chairman, be unanimously declared permanent chairman. The same motion applied to the retention of Samuel J. Roberts and Young E. Allison as permanent secretaries. The motion was carried unanimously after it had been held up for some time by former Congressman John D. White, who was finally howled down. The platform adopted pays a magnificent tribute to President Roosevelt and his administration, "which, following, as it has done, the policy of William McKinley, has continued with unabated force the marvelous prosperity with which our country has been blessed since the return of the Republican party to power in 1S97." It concludes: "In view of his record and career we Instruct our delegates to the Chicago convention to vote as a unit for the nomination of Theodore Roosevelt as a candidate for the presidency at the coming national election." Mr. Yerkes during the evening moved that the rules be suspended and Mr. Bradley unanimously chosen as one of the four delegates at large to tho national convention. The motion carried. The report of the committee on credentials seated the "regular," or Yerkes, delegations in eight contested counties, including Campbell and Kenton. Richard P. Ernst, of Covington, and George M. Long, of Leitchfield. were nominated by acclamation to serve with Mr. Bradley, leaving one more delegate at large to be selected. The practice of previous state conventions having becii to name a negro delegate at large, the remaining position on the delegation was contested for by several of that race. Dr. E. E. Underwood, colored, of Frankfort, was nominated.
