PLATFORM DRAFTED BY
ELLIS WILL BE ADOPTED
Senator Hopkins to Head the 1eso-
buttons Committee.

CHICAGO. June 13.-Those who are d.
secting the Taft forces here are RESPONSE
BILE for the announcement Of two important
DEVELOPMENTS today respecting the plat
form problem.
One Is that Senator Albert ]. Hopkins
nj this state will be chairman Of the
resolutions committee, sustaining previous
tentative predictions. The other. that the
Roosevelt-Taft platform Will Be adopted IN
the precise form in which 1t was approveo
in Washington before being brought 70
Chicago by Wade Ellis. who compiled the
document under the instructions OF q con-
ference recently held at the White House.
These announcements followed four
hour conference between Mr.. Ellis ana
Senator Hopkins in the ofnces OF the lat
ter, at the womans Temple building
here.
The deductions from the statements are
REGARDED as both interesting and impor-
tant The first Is that Senator HOPKINS
would not have been assured the chair
manship of the committee had he not
given his unqualified approval to the plat
form.
The second is that In view Of his close
relations to Senator Aldrtch and the con-
servatives In the party the senator has
recognized that the Taft forces are IN
complete control Of the situation and are
able to dictate In advance the terms Of
membership on the resolutions committee
Hopkins found the various planks OF the
platform to evidence the policies Of the
Roosevelt administration. and In this re-
spect constituting a document on which
the party may we'll go before the voters
OF the country.
It is not denied that there are some
planks in the platform as at present writ
ten which would be modified II the op-
position to Secretary Taft had its way.
These relate to the procurement on the
use OF the Injunction in labor diA0uteH
and the plank which will indicate the ex-
tent to which the federal government
should go In the control OF railroad CAPT.
talization and operation.
That rapid progress is now berg made
in determining the personnel of the reso-
buttons committee Is admitted. 1t is the
fact that this progress now indicates the
complete control Of the committee by the
Taft element that makes the announce
ment Of chairman and ultimate action
POSSIBLE al this time
