washington, May 27.-At least q
tentative draft Of the republican ma
tional platform will be prepared in
Washington.
Already arrangements are making
for a conference on the subject. The
likelihood is that the conferences will
be held here next week and that BY
the time the delegates to the conven-
ton turn their faces toward Chicago
the declaration Of principles will
have been whipped into shape and
tucked away in the inside pocket Of a
prospective member Of the commit
tee on resolutions.
Participating in the platform con
ferences will be President Roosevelt,
Secretary Taft, leading republicans in
both branches Of congress and others
who probably will take a conspicuous
part in the convention and subsequent
campaign.
Arthur I. vorys, the ohio manager
Of Secretary Taft's preliminary cam
laign, is in Washington today con
ferring with Secretary Taft. It can
be said that he did not come to the
capital primarily to discuss the plat
form with the secretary, but on bust
ness Of a different character.
Nothing Done on Platform.
It is expected that Wade II. Ellis,
attorney general Of Ohio, who is one
Of the delegates-at-large from that
state, will have a part in the prepare
ton Of the platform. He drew the
tariff revision plank Of the platform
adopted by the republicans Of OHIO
at their state convention, and It Il
anticipated that a somewhat similar
declaration respecting the tarih vii
be adopted at Chicago probably II the
forces Of Secretary Taft have con
trolled the convention. Beyond infor
NAL discussion Of the subjects to be
treated in the platform nothing YET
has been done in a definite way in its
preparation.
TAFT Managers Confer.
Secretary Taft had q conference
late this afternoon with Frank II
Hitchcock, eastern and southern man
q cor ~ HE cnmnaipn. and Mr.. Vorys
Concerning the conference nothing
was disclosed beyond the general fac
that it related to the Anal details 9
the preliminary campaign.
Mr.. yorys will leave for Columbu'
tomorrow.
MI. Hitchcock and Mr.. vorys called
at the white house this afternoon ant
had a half hours talk with the presi
dent.
