They found the Taft platform makers willing to give and take, and the platform when finally fixed will be far move progressive than was the original draft formed by the president’s friends, former Vice President Pair banks and Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia university Governor Hadley was represented in the committee by Hugh Mclndoe, a Missouri * state senator from Joplin.

Taft’s Anti-Trust Plank. The Taft, people assert that the com mittee will recommend 'the president’s personal anti-trust plank It Is certain, however, that the Roosevelt men will insist on so revis ing this plank as to include a declara tion for government regulation of In terstate corporations. The Taft anti trust plank follows: "The Republican party is opposed to special privilege and to monopoly. It Placed upon the, statute books the anti trust act of 1830 and it has consistently arid successfully enforced the provi sions of that law. It will take no back ward steps to permit the re-establish ment in any degree of conditions which «<<■<■ Intolerable "The experience of the last twenty yea s and the illuminating decision of tic t'nited States supreme court in ac lions brought to enforce the anti-trust i SPECIAL I I SALE I I ° F I I Ninety-Three I I Silk-Lined I SUITS g Blue serge, gray and p fancy mixtures; hand- H tailored; worth $20.00 B M and $22.50; one and || & two suits of a style, h j Olli ( t.U'i I Lsls I A.

Should Define Lawful Business. 1 "The Republican party favors the en actment of legislation supplementary to the existing anti-trust act which shall define as criminal offenses the specific acts which uniformally mark attempts •to restrain and to monopolize trade, to the end that those who honestly Intend to observe the law may have a guide for their actions and those who aim to violate the law may be more surely of being punished. "The same certainty should be given to the law controlling combinations and monopolies that characterizes other provisions'of commercial law. in order that no party of the field of business opportunity may be restricted by mo nopoly or combinations, that business success honorably achieved may not be converted into crime and that the right of every man to acquire commod ities and particularly the necessaries of life In an open market, uninfluenced by the manipulations of trusts or com binations. may he preserved.” Although the Western members of the platform will not permit a conser vation plank incorporating the Glffoid Pinchot ideas, they Insist on a plank which will provide for conservation, yet afford opportunity for the upbuild ers of the West to use its resources, in a reasonable and intelligent manner, under government supervision, for de velopment. Suffrage Plank Sure. The sub-committee has not agreed on a woman suffrage plank, but it is certain that there will be some kind Os 'an equal suffrage plank in the plat form. The plank which most appeals ■to the Taft members of the committee is one which will recommend the ex tension of woman suffrage in state elections The platform will recommend a ie ■visinn of the Federal laws relating to currency and finance so as to make •the monetary system of the country more responsive to modern demands The phraseology of this plank is giving the committee a great deal of worry The LaFollette members of the com mittee demand a drastic currency plank, it was announced today that • the L.,dFoilette platform: to he submit ted to the convention as a minority I report, will contain a preamble declar- 1 ing a money trust exists in the United I States today and citing its crimes and | acts. For Marriage and Divorce Laws. | Regulation of marriage and divorce by Federal statute and an amendment to the constitution were urged as a plank In the Republican platform today by officials of the Civic Reform union who appeared before the Committee ofi •platform and resolutions A. T Gregg, superintendent, and Hans P Frees, attorney, both of Cleve land. Ohio, speak for the committee They left the room confident of results. "Chairman Fairbanks assured us the plank would be most carefully consid ered.” declared Mr. Freese. "The mar. rfage and divorce question is the most vita! nations! issue now before the country." Committee at Work All Night ' Hit'AGO, .lune 21.—8 y a vote of 32 to 15, Taft members of the credentials committee of the Republican national convention, today overruled the pro testing Roosevelt members and decid ed to submit a partial report of their work.

R. Men Work Out New Party Plan t'HIi’AGF. June 21.—That leaders of the Roosevelt movement are now busily engaged in forming a new progressixe party to be known as the Progressive party, was the statement today of Gov ernor Deneen. of Illinois. The plan of | the Roosevelt faction was outlined | briefly as follows by the Illinois execu tive : There will be no bolt. The dele gates from the Roosevelt states will sit quietly throughout the convention. If the “tainted" delegates sit there will be no participation on the part of Roosevelt men. They will not vote. As soon as the convent ion adjourn the new party will issue a call foi its I own convention. Where this wilt be held lias not been determined. It max bo Chicago and at once This briefly is the situation as Governor Dene, n outlined It. • "The Roosevelt men, Francis .1 lie ney and the others, ate busy in their quartets at the hotel forming a new party." said Deneen. "This ; arty is to be progressive. Il is lo be named tin. Progressive party. I have not been asked to make this announcement, and I am not doing it officially. 1 am speak ing because the movement that o- go ing mt is not fofmed In particular se ( recj I have not her n asked to be I silent " No Other Alternative. According to reliable information, the men at the Rooseevlt headquarter- , me noxv making up lists of men who will take important part in the new' party.

R.'s enemies is astonish ing. With Mr. Moore’s marvelous intellectual fire and his wife’s in numerable charms and powers, it is safe to s«y that "Eugenics” will gain much by studying their little family, as it comes along. That marriage ts a union of powerful, panting Pittsburg volcanoes and the fertile, flowered fields of Fancy. What could be more perfect In the stirpiculture line? ELIHU SEES TAD’S BULL-MOOSE PICTURE. Melville Stone is just now show - ing to Elihu Root Tad's picture of T. R. in The Chicago American. It shows T. R. as very sick bull rnoose. with a little Kermit moose asking: "What’s t’ e matter pop?” It seems to amuse the cold-heart ed reunions of plutocracy on the platform. At present, byway of convention news, it is alleged that Hadley de clares the Alabama and Arizona contests will be reported out of the committee. Hadley will renew his motion that none of the 78 wicked bull-moose haters shall vote on any question affecting the committee. Root will decide against him. and Hadley will demand a roll call, which will use up three hours and will mean that you shall not go home tomorrow. The program may change oti a moment’s notice. The beginning of the convention is 40 minutes over due. Mr. Bryan comes in and is applauded; a man suggests that the convention take hint as a com promise candidate. The Hand plays “Should Auld Acquaintance Be Forgot ?” B, L. T.. of this city, says that many men have been drjven to blow out the gas by women asking "which is the Democratic candi date. Roosevelt or Taft?" by other women saying, “I believe Roose velt will be the dark horse after all,” and by others wanting to know if Armageddon is not the name of a sleeping car. BULL MOOSE SHOW AND NO BULL MOOSE. It's almost noon, nearly an hour past the opening hour, and no hammering from Root as yet. The band ptay&, and the crowd is listless.

The band ‘plays equestrian mush An hour and twenty minutes a r ter th opening hour, and so far onl\ mils! ■ and dismal silence. Just now the New Jersey d'legation for T. R. freely shout this question and answer: "Who are we? Who arc we? The men from New Jersey. Are we It? Yes. you bet. Watch and see how we land Teddy." They sat down and dismalness was resumed. ROOT HAMMERS FOR CREDENTIALS REPORT. Al 12 o'clock Root hammers with his gavel at last, and the Rev. John Bal colm Shaw walks to the end of the platform and prays while a stenogra pher standing up at his elbow write-- down each word of the prayer. It the longest prayer heard thus far. That of Father Callahan on the opening day was the shortest. The Rev. Air. Shaw.'a prayer is eloquent, more in the old fashioned style than those preceding. Root calls for the report of the com mittee on credentials. The secretary reads the report of the committee on credentials and announces Mr. Dovell, who "crossed his heart" two days ago. He speaks at first for the creden tials committee, but gives way to the secretary for regular reading of the report. After the report on Alabama, Hadley of Missouri is recognized. Hadley yields to McCormick, of Illinois, member of the committee on credentials, who says that he and other friends of T. R. on the committee were not permitted to make a minority report. He said: "At a future time we expect to present the facts in this case." This was taken as an announce ment. of another convention and bolt. The crowd cheered —not very loudly. Root started to say, “Strictly speaking, there can be no such thing as a minority report"—here he was stopped, hissed and groans. When he had his chance he fin ished his remark by saying that he would ask the convention to hear Mr. McCormick's minority report, anyhow. T. R.’S MINORITY 5 FRIENDS HEARD FROM. ' Then the clerk read the report of T. R.’s minority friends in the cre- I dentials committee. This ought to lead up to a dismal roll call, as ex pected. The minority protests against any of the 78 voting on i contests.
