DISC UssING PLATFORM

WASHINGTON, June 4.-senator
Long, of Kansas. who, in conjunction
with Wade Ellis, Attorney General of
Ohio, and Senator Hopkins. of Illinois,
has held several conferences with Sec
rotary Tafte regarding the various
points of the platform proposed for
the Chicago convention, was again at
the War Department to-day. He ex-
poets to be in Chicago a week from
to-day.
In the opinion of Senator Long the
preparation Of a platform at Chicago
will not provoke much controversy.
He believes that the members of the
committee on resolutions Will not re-
gard with disfavor, as being an at
tempt to control their action in ad-
vance. the drafting of platform
which will be presented to them as
the basis for the declaration of the
convention. On the contrary. he thinks
that the draft will be very helpful, and
will do much toward minimizing the
labors Of the resolutions committee.

Washington, D. c., June 4.
Stories from Panama to the effect
that great political revolt threatens
that country as the result of intense
party feeling created by the political
campaign just ending, confirm the gem
eral idea which Americans entertain
regarding the temperament of the
average Latin american and his atti-
elected or appointed. The Spanish-
American looks upon his public office
as his personal property, and to re-
tain 1t he feels perfectly justified in
resortng to force or any other means
at his command.
