The Platform.
At 1905 the platform committee re-
turned. Mr.. Chynoweth announced that
iMessrs. Riordan, Bennett and Reynolds
ibid not attend committee deliberations.
The resolutions are long. They assert
the regularity Of the convention and re-
laf1irm tth national platform and endorse
President Roosevelt. Each mention of
THE Presidents name was greeted with
Applause.
When the plank endorsing Gov. La
fFollette's administration was read the
applause was wild and hysterical, and
particularly when reference was made
to his stand against the malicious" op-
position.
'The failure Of the opposition" to live
up to platform pledges is denounced as
treason.
The primary election plank, after en-
Idorsing the governors stand, points to
the late campaign leading up to the CON
ivention as an evidence ''of the difficulty
in securing q true expression Of the pop
lular mind" under the present election
laws.
The ''honest and business-Iike" admin
istration of all the departments is en-
dorsed.
Game Laws Praised. -.
In particular was the administration of

sertions to the contrary are denounced as

made for the extension Of the anti-pass
law to prevent the giving of passes in
payment for services.
Pernicious activity of federal officials
was denounced and better protection of
labor from capital demanded that the
lworkingman's condition may be bettered.
Protection from Railroads.
Several planks are devoted to impress
ing the necessity Of protection of the
public from the railroads and for a re-
'duction Of freight rates. One plank is
devoted to deploring that the platform
pledges of both parties have been yio-
Ilated.''
No candidate should receive support,
the platform says in closing, who is not
positively and fatty committed to the
support Of the platform. Nearly half an
hour was consumed in the reading of the
resolutions.
La Toilette in Control.
After vainly trying to get control Of the
Republican state convention Wednesday,
the anti-third termers left the convention
in a body and went to the Fuller Opera
house. where a caucus was held and it
was discussed whether or not to organ
