PLATFORM DISCUSSED.
A Meeting OF Republicans to Prepare
for the Real Work.


There was an informal gathering in the
Press Club room of the Denison House,
yesterday afternoon, at which the subjects
that should receive attention i'm the plat
form were informally discussed. H. III.
Hanna acted as chairman and Robert A.
Brown as secretary. The fact. however,
that u chairman and secretary were chosen
did not serve TO give formality to the dis
cussion and il distinctly announced
that nothing said or considered should be
held as binding upon any one.
The purpose was merely to formulate
skeleton on which the regularly consti-
tuted committee may shape the platform
utterance. The discussion covered both ma
tiOnal and state issues and included the
financial, the trust and the expansion cues
tion-the last I'm all its phases. Committees
were appointed to give concrete expression
TO the consensus OF opinion. one commit
tee to deal with national issues and one
with the state. The trust question will be
dealt with by both committees and the best
expression adopted when the reports are
heard at another meeting, To be held this
afternoon. The report, when completed
Will be the framework TO be dealt with by
the convention committee as Il sees ft
nothing being binding until IL passes upon
the report and II is adopted by the conyen-
ton.
In view of the repeated statements in the
afternoon press that the platform had been
prepared by Chairman Hernly and sub
mitted TO members of Congress from Indi-
ana and others in the administration at
Washington the absolute incompleteness of
the platform statement was surprise and
there was regret expressed that so much
had been left undone. The meeting in
ciuded representatives from ten districts.

James F. Statesmen Here.

James f. Statesman, of Peru, who in his
college days was the Beau Brummel of
Peru, but who has now assumed the more
modest attire of the polished and dignified
professional man, came to the city yester-
day TO see his old college chum, Represent

it is still too early to talk about
this matter. He says that in the
Eleventh district Cass county is for
Posey for Governor and Howard county is
for John l.. Griffiths. The other counties
are divided in the gubernatorial contest
and all the candidates will probably receive
votes.
