ticn to the Republican state conven-
ton tomorrow was begun by the COM
mittee on resolutions in executive SEES
sion tonight. Otto Barnard read the
platform, which was understood to
have the approval of Colonel Roose-
Welt and the Progressives. The draft
contained, among other things, an I'M
efuivocal endorsement of the admin
istratiOns of President Taft and Gov

acted by the Legislature.
1t contained an approving reference
to the fact that the Republican Senate
has driven from it's ranks all recreant

they might be found.
