posed he was at Washington and could
be reached by long distance telephone
but later it developed that he was at
his summer home at bingham, Mass,
where it was hoped to communicate
with him later. The delegation was
also divided up into committees, which
started on in behalf of the
Long candidacy.
Undecided.
The Michigan delegation arrived at
the Walton and opened headquarters
this evening. D. M. Ferry. of Detroit,
who is a candidate for the nomination
for Governor of Michigan, was with
the party. and said that the delegation
had not decided who to support for
the Vice Presidency. There was, how
ever, a strong sentiment among the
Michigan men for Dolliver

adyisability of united action. Mr.. Fair
banks has received the overtures from
Nebraska and other quarters with ex-
pressions of earnest appreciation, but
has said that he did not wish to be re-
garded as an active candidate. This has
prevented any systematic canvass in his
behalf, although his friends are working
on the theory that the present state of
uncertainty on the Vice Presidency, it
may be deemed best to turn to a doubt-

they feel Mr.. Fairbanks will not resist

THE
A Draft of the Document Has been
Completed by the party
And 1t Is Believed 1t VIII Meet W tn
the Approval of the Convention
1t Was Prepared by Secretary
Smith and Revised by For.
aker-An Outline.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, June IT,
For the first time since the Repub-
lican leaders began to assemble in
Philadelphia there has to-day been
some earnest work upon the platform,
and a draft has been completed which,
it is believed, will receive the approval
OF the Convention. This document was
prepared in part before coming to Phil
adelphia by Postmaster General Smith,
and il is understood that it was sub
mitted to the President for his inspec-
ton and approval before Mr.. Smith
left Washington. Mr.. Smith was in
consultation during the greater part
of the afternoon with Senator Foraker,
who is understood will be chairman of
the Committee on Resolutions. The
Senator has himself given considerable
attention to the preparation of the dec
laration of principles and he added
considerably to Mr.. Smiths draft.
The instrument as so far prepared is
of considerable length, but very
Clear Cut and Emphatic
in its enunciation. 1t begins by call
ing attention to the promises that were
made in the st. Louis convention of
1895 and after en~umerating them. de-
clares that faith has been kept in al
most every instance, as is shown by
the statutes which the last Congress
added to the laws of the country.
Especial attention is called to the fact
that the platform of 1896 promised
that the county should be put upon
the gold standard and that this pledge
has been faithfully maintained. There
is a clear and distinct declaration for
the maintenance of this standard, and
the resolutions SO far prepared make
no reference to bimetallism. The reso-
buttons also contain the usual decla-
ration for a protective tariff, the legis-
lation towards which is especially di-
rected as having been accomplished In
accordance with the party pledges in
addition to that concerning the finances
includes the Dingley tariff law, the an
nexation OF Hawaii and the liberation
of Cuba from Spanish domination. The
country is also felicitated upon the ac-
QUESTION of Porto Rico.
The plank on the Philippines is prac-
tically in the language of

promising the restoration of order and
the establishment of authority in the
islands and the granting of local self
government so soon as the Filipfnos
show that they are prepared for it.
On the question OF trusts. the plat
form recognizes the right OF capital to
combine for industrial purposes, but
condemns all conspiracies in restrainst
OF trade and the limitation of prices.

PHILADELPHIA, June 1.-THE
West Virginians are fully determined
70 present one of their Senators as a
Vice Presidential candidate. Senator
Scott first proposed a boom for his col
league, Mr.. Elkins, but to-day a strong
Scott sentiment began to manifest it
self at the West Virginia headquar-
tiers. The delegation at least wants
to place one of them in nomination
and compliment him with the States
vote. After that there is no definite
choice thus far, although the tenden-
cies are toward Roosevelt or some
other Eastern candidate.
The Long Boom.
The Massachusetts delegation per-
fected its organization to-day, and also
took steps to get into direct telephone
communication with Secretary Long
to ascertain his wishes concerning the
Vice Presidential situation. This last
move was regarded as rather signifi-
cant. The delegation is to a man
strongly favorable to. the Secretary,
and it was believed that cooperation
could be secured with the delegations
of Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont.
Connecticut and Rhode Island, so as
10 secure a practically solid vote of the
seventy-eight New England delegates.
Many combinations and possibilities
were in the air, however. that a COM
mittee consisting of Messrs. Shaw,
Murray and BeckwelA was chosen to
ascertain Mr.. Longs wishes as to the
