Madison, Wis.-What probably is
the most radical platform accepted
in a generation by a Republican
convention was adopted in Wiscon-
sin. Tie document is about four
thousand words in length and touches
with no uncertain hand on a great
variety of subjects. 1t is generally
designated as a radically progressive
pronunc!amento.
No mention of the national admins
tration was made save to disparage.
Senator La Toilette, although far
from well, was present for the first
time when the resolutions were read.
Mention of his name was invariably
the signal for applause. He addressed
the convention briefly. Features Of
the platform are:
Condemnation of the Payne-Aldrich
act.
Physical valuation of railroads and
more stringent regulation of them.
Second choice primaries.
Initiative, referendum and recall.
Anti-lobby law.
Graduated income tax.
Home rule in the liquor traffic.

a funeral are supposed to be for use at the ser

ABOUT TWENTY PERSONS ARE

EDITOR BLAMES ENEMIES
Union Men Make DeniaIs and En-
ployes Of Paper Say the Base
ment Was Full Of Leak
ing Gas.

Los Angeles, Cal.-Between Is and
20 are believed to have been killed
, outright, and even more than a score
seriously injured in an explosion
which wrecked the plant of the Los
Angeles Times shortly after 1870
a. M, while the big edition of the
paper was being run off.
The cause of the explosion, which
was followed by a fire that complete
ly destroyed the building and plant,
is a mystery that probably only will
be settled by a coroner's investiga-
ton.
AS a result of the desperate war
fare which has for years been carried
on between union labor and Gen. Har-
rison Gray Otis, owner of the Times,
friends of the latter are openly charg-
ing the building was dynamited by
enemies Of the paper.
rs Extra Printers at Work.
Owing to the fact that 25 extra
printers and several other men en-
ployed in the mechanical department
were at work on the Sunday pages,
considerable difficulty was at first ex.
perienced in getting accurate figures
as to the number of dead and injured.
The property loss is estimated at up
wards of 100000, but the publication
Of the Times will not be suspended.
So bitter has been the feeling against
the paper, it developed the manage
ment has for months kept a duplicate
plant in warehouse here to be used
in just such an emergency.
Structure Filled With Gas.
Employees who had just left the
building when the explosion occurred
say that gas had been leaking some
where in the building all evening, and
the smell of gas pervaded the whole
structure. This has led the police to
believe that gas caused the explosion.
The Times building is located at
First and Broadway, in the heart of
the business section of the city.
