FOR THE CONVENTION
Roosevelt, Taft and Others Have
Framed Platform.
NOTHING Is LEFT OUT.
Presidents Policies Endorsed Unequiv.
eealIy-Contains Declaration For
Revision Of Tariff-FinanciaI Plank
Received Careful Attention.
NOTHING is LEFT OUT

That the platform which will be
adopted at the Chicago convention,
Dext week, and on which the Re.
publican party will stand during
the next campaign has been complet-
cd, with the exception OF few de
tails, which will be left for the com
mittee on resolutions to insert, is the
opinion of many who are in the con-
ddence OF the Republican leaders.
The work has been done by Hon.
Wade EUis, 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 Kansas
and a few others, including the presi-
dent and Secretary Taft. who have
been freely consulted.
The Central Idea.
The policies Of President Roosevelt
will be endorsed unequivacally. and
this endorsement will be the central
idea OF the document The Repuhli-
can party's record as the party of pro-
lection and sound money. as the party
Of progress and good principles. as the
party that gave freedom to Cuba and
lifted the yoke from the necks OF the
people OF the Philippines and Porto
Rico VIII be made the subject OF much
praise. and the votes OF the public will
be asked TO continue 10 patronize the
political craft that has carried It
across so many streams.
Specifically speaking. more atten n
ton has been given BY the platform
makers TO the tariff than to anr other
subject. There VIII be an unequivocal
declaration for revision, but the dispo-
sition is TO leave the working out OF
details to the ingenuity OF congress.
Next TO the tariff. the financal plank
has received most careful attention.
The administration will be especially
complimented upon the passage dur
ing the Fifty-ninth congress OF the
railroad rate law, and this legislation
Will be pointed TO as an example OF
what the party will do for the coun-
Try at large in case IL Is given such
\ lease OF power as TO afford Il suf-
hcient time for the changes which
re believed to be desirable.

horse this morning as result OF a
runaway. Mr,Andrus lives Oh myrtle
avenue, off Grandview avenue, and
was driving down West Side hill this
morning with his wife and child on

bit broke The horse was instantly
scared and Mrs Andrus and the child
got. out of the wagon. Andrus held
on, however, until the horse crashed
into a heavy two horse truck OF the
company he is employed by. 1t was
impossible to hold back the horse
before this occurrence for part of the
harness broke on the way down the
hill, so that the collision occurred
without any restraint on the part OF
Andrus's horse. The impact threw
down both the runaway and the
team, but the latter recovered itself
in a moment, while the runaway re-
manned down. Efforts to raise 1t
showed that its back was broken and
in the course of a few minutes "
