Kansas Instructs For att.
The Kansas Republican convention
at Topeka, as was expected, gave the
delegates at large instructions for
Taft Senator Long, who heads the
delegation, said that Kansas had start
ed the Taft boom.
Bryan's Nebraska Platform.
In the platform adopted by the Ne
braska Democratic state convention at
Omaha, when delegates were instruct
ed as unit for Bryan as the party's
presidential nominee, the nation recog-
nizes the hand of the Nebraskan and
the principles and policies on which he
will ask the suffrages of the people If
nominated at Denver. Bryan was
there in person to assist the resolutions
committee and to receive the plaudits
of his home state folle who. cheered
him wildly as 1.-The next president" In
the first place, it is noteworthy that
this platform contains no reference TO
government ownership or to the initia-
tive and referendum, But ii does de-
clare for the federal licensing Of cor
porations and makes some quite point
ed references to specific reform of the
tariff. They would place on the free
list all articles that cometin competi-
ton with trust made goods and reduc-
lions upon the necessariesN of life.
Other important planks favor q ma
tional income and inheritance tax. urge
immediate independence for the Phil
ippines, demand reduction of railroad
dividends and oppose both the Aldrich
and Fowler currency bills now before
congress, saying that emergency cur
rency should be controlled by the gov
eminent. Many of the radical planks
are in line with the policies of Presi-
,lent Roosevelt, including the postal
sayings banks, employers liability, the
eight hour day, Cancellation Of labor,
modification Of injunction law, etc.
Taft Captures Ohio Convention.
The first day OF the Ohio Republican
