FORECAST OF PLATFORM

seldom II ever before in the history
cf the republican party has it been pos
otble to make 40 accurate a forecast of
the platform In advance Of the assem-
bling Of the national convention as is
the case this year. A draft OF the plat
form was completed weeks ago, after a
series Of White house conference
among the party leaders. and II any
changes are made by the committee on
resolutions they viii be of the most
minor charat ter.
After the usual expression of conf
dence In the eternal principles OF the
republican party. the platform will spe-
ciflcally commend Theodore Roosevelt.

THE CONTRAST

In comparison of the two national
conventions the contrast is very
marked. The republican party knows
what its policies are. They are time
tried and time honored. A great ma
jority Of the people Of the nation know
them and are willing again to vouch for
them. They are satisfied with their
fearless aggressive leader. Theodore
Roosevelt, and will renominate him
without opposition.
On the other hand the democratic
party Is split In twain over internal
issues. Few democrats are willing to
say how they stand on any national
question because they do not know
what the party creed will declare at ST.
Louis The most prominent candidate
before the convention is silent on the
Issues and will be till the convention
sounds the tocsin. He nor no other
democrat will be rash enough to say
what the key note OF that convention
will be.
The Chicago convention will be the
party's answer to the popular upris-
Ing in favor OF the present administra-
tion and republican policies. The people
are eager to ratify the results Of the
hist eight years and following the ad-
vice Of the late Senator Hanna they
wish to ''stand pat
The st. Louis convention will be a
notable battle between party factions
for party control. No great principle

tend that the party should return to

ana the other faction will hold hard to
continue on the present tangent. But

popular Judgment Of the people will de-
eide by = million majority that 1t has
no faith n democratic declarations,

alive or radical.

efficiency with which such corruption

In this case, as compared with previous
