HAMMOND WELCOMES YOU BOYS AND GIRLS.
Today Hammond welcomes the young brains and brawn of Northern In
diana. From all directions high school athletes, proud and strong m me po
session of hard flexible and well trained muscles, will come to prove their
orowess on the track and on the field.
The best samples of physical young manhood in this part of the state will
be on exhibition. There will be trials of strength. The beneficial effect of
: .ainin.r thft muscles will be made apparent. The well known grit of the rep
resentative American will be manifested.
The God's great green outdoors, the youth will give vent to the enthusiasm
which has been accumulating for so long and which has been pent up all winter.
His -mind will be occupied with the enjoyment of wholesome pleasures. He has
been working hard all week, he will play hard tomorrow. He will have a fore
taste of that tense life he will be compelled to live later on when he becomes a
man of affairs.
And It is a peculiar thing that this same youth whose animal spirits are so
high will, tonight, be Just as enthusiastic over the carnival of oratory with
which he will be entertained. The amateur high school athlete does not permit
his interest In these sports to monopolize his attention, neither Is he the puny, brain stuffed, physical wreck thatwas characteristic of the student of a century
ago before athletics became a part of the average school's currlculem.
And Hammond is particularly fortunate in having such a beautiful field on
which these contests may.be given. It is doubtful if in the entire northern part
of Indiana there could be found a spot so accessible and so admirably adapted
"to the purposes. f
It Is beautiful to begin with. Its cinder track is the equal of those which
are found In the large university campuses. The field could only bo Improved
by being enlarged, and In case of rain everyone Is near shelter.
' . The people of Hammond may be thankful that there were people In Ham
mond with foresight enough and enough of a sense of civic pride to advocate
the buying of a Harrison park. Today Hammond is crowded with people from
all parts of the state. Their Impressions of the city will be greatly improved by
a view of the park and perhaps a glimpse at the fine new depots which are now
adorning the city.
When they go away they will take with them a favorable impression of the
city and that will be a better advertisement than all of the prospectuses that
could be loaded Into a fright car. ,
The merchants should take more interest in these events. They are too
engrossed in the persult of the almighty dollar. This is an opportunity to be
come young again, to encourage this young brain and brawn in the enterprises
which interest them now so that they will become leaders in the great enter
prises with which they will be engrossed later on.
This is the first time that Hammond has been honored with the Northern
Indiana track meet and oratorical contest and Hammondites should make the
' most of the opportunity. Again. Welcome to the athletes, orators and high
school students of Northern Indiana.

Chicago, 111.,'May 16. Nine hundred and ninety-two delegates, which wilt
be increased to an even thousand if Arizona and New Mexico succeed In their.
demand for six instead of two delegates each, will assemble in the Coliseum in
this city one month from today to name a candidate to run as the republican party's choice for president of the United States. The time limit for choosing
these delegates expired today.
These delegates represent the republican voters of forty-six states, two-
territories, Alaska Hawaii, Porto Rico and the Phillipplne Islands. Each delegate to the national convention represents a section of the country
peopled by approximately 80,000 people, of whom at least 16.000 are mala adults of the voting age. So the whole convention represents-the republican party of approximately 16,000,000 voters, or 80.000,000 people.
The convention meets to pick out a man who will represent the ideas of
the republican voters as to necessary Qualifications for a president of tha United States and to voice the ideas of the party as to general Twliois
which should be- followed by the chief executive for the four years succeeding March 4, 1909. The delegates will voice these policies in a series of solutions, which, taken together. Is popularly called a "platform." Ttwy are also to choose a candidate for vice president to serve in case of the death or inability of the president. Theoretically the choice of the nominees and the framing of the platform are matters which the delegates take up as quite fresh subjects, and upon which they have varying opinions, but practically, and as a result of widespread discussion in the daily 'press and elsewhere," there are always of late years some well settled ideas on the subjects of candidates . and issues.

The convention next month will be in session four days and possibly
longer. The program to be folowed on the opening day has been arranged almost to the last detail. It will proceed about like this:
The delegates will assemble in the Coliseum at noon on Tuesday. Jnno

committee. Secretary Elmer Dover wijl read the official call. Mr. New will make a brief address, presenting to the convention Senator DoHiver, Senator Beveridge, or whoever may be decided upon in advance for temporary chairman. The chief duty of the temporary chairman, will be to deliver, a speech which will voice the general party policies, and will be what is popularly termed a "key-note" speech. This speech, which will be carefullv
revised before hand by the party leaders, will occupy about an hour in lta
delivery and will later form an important part of the campaign literature
ana be published In the official party publication.
The temporary chairman will call upon the different state delegations anfl
ask each to send to the platform the selection ' made by the delegation for
memoersnip on tne committee on resolutions, credentials and permanent organization and order of business. Also each delegation will send up the names of its selection of a member to act as the state's representative or. th ra

' Then will come the report of the committee on resolutions, which will' be adopted with cheers. It is generally understood that Senator Lodge of Massachusetts will be named as chairman of the resolutions committee Tha resolutions will discuss trusts, labor, finance. Immigration, the tariff and other subjects. The utterance on the subject of tariff reform will be one which will be Ktven the most serious consideration by the party leaders.
