Interest now, centers chiefly in the plat
form and the nomination for second place.
The leaders here are gratifed to know
that there will probably not be very much
trouble over the platform. They derived
this belief after talking with Speaker Can
non. who returned to Danville today. The
Speakers visit was for the purpose of 60
ing over the platform with some OF his
friends. and it is asserted that the
Speaker was pleased to find that the plat
form draft vas not so radical as some
have feared il would be.
1t is stated on authority that when
Senator Hopkins. prospective chairman of
the committee on resolutions, started east
last night with the plato draft he had
