DECLARES FOR REVISION OF
TARIFF-FlNANCIAL PLANK
GETS ATTENTION.

GETS ATTENTION.
That the platform which will be
adopted at the Chicago convention and
one which the republican party will
stand during the next campaign has
been completed, with the exception OF
few details, which will be left for
the committee on resolutions to In
sert, is the opinion of many who are
in the confidence of the republican
leaders. The work has been done by
Wade Ellis, attorney general of Ohio,
the craftsman of the recent Ohio
state PLATFORM, Senator hopkins, who
will be the chairman of the committee
on resolutions; Senator Long of Kan
sas, and few others, including the
president and Mr.. Taft, who have been
freely consulted.
The policies of President Roosevelt
will be Endorsed unequivocally, and
this Endorsement will be the central
idea of the document. These policies
will be set forth as the embodiment of
the principles of the republican party,
whose achievements will be lauded as
at all times wise and beneficial, as
ever in the interests of the people.
These principles, it will be declared,
are quite in contrast with the policies
of the democratic party, which, as en-
bodied in the public utterances of its
leaders, it will be said, promise nothing
good that can be assured Of accom-
plishment
The republican party's record as the
party of protection and sound money,
as the party of progress and good
principles, as the party that gave free
dom to Cuba and lifted the yoke of
, the necks of the people of the Philip
pines and from Porto Rico, will be up
held for admiration and made the sub
ject of much praise, and the voting
public will be asked to continue to
patronize the political craft that has
carried it across so many streams.
Specifically speaking, more attention
has been given by the platform makers
to the tariff than to any other subject
There will be an unequivocal declara
ton for revision, but the disposition is
to leave the working out of details tc
congress.
. The principle of protection will be
Endorsed in general terms and there
may be a declaration favorable to 6
maximum and minimum tariff as the
one best calculated to insure the pro

n varying conditions.
f Financial Plank.
. Next to the tariff the financial planl
has received most careful attention
but the enactment of the emergenc,

y much simpler than it would have beel
