Springfield, H., Sept. "a The
Republican state convention today
adopted a platform, commending the
national administration tariff poll
cles and tariff letter. The platform
conforms 20 the keynote speech OF
ton was in complete control, and the
governor was named permanent
chairman. The platform favors the
creation OF a permanent tariff COM
mission, com.nend6 the action of the
Slxty-first congress, and commends
Taft's conservation views. It favors
a moderation of the street railway
laws. and a constitutional amendment
abolishing MINORITY representation.
Joe Cannon nsade Characteristic
speech.
Direct election OF United States
senators aad Jthe initiative and refer
endum are Urged. The bipartisan
combination in the last legislature is
condemned ind grand jury investiga-
tons of corruption is urged.
The ILLINOIS Republicans are meet
ing In dele gate convention today and
will adopt a platform standing solid
iy behind Taft's position on the
tariff as expressed in his letter TO
the Republican congressional com
mittee.
This plank wiz commend the APP
pointment of a permanent tariff
commission and revise the tariff
schedule at time. The leaders of
the party were in session far into
the night, threshing out the details.
Speaker Cannon arrived. lie did
not seek specific commentator in
the platform. He will not be men,
toned. The Republican delegation
to congress will receive blanket of
approval.
The platform disayows party re-
sponsibility for the bipartisan COM
bination which elected Speaker
Shurtlen and the one which elevated
Lorimer to the senate.
A corrupt practices act will be de-
manded, and likewise an amendment
TO the constitution to abolish mi
nority representation"
Under this feature of the law a
voter. where there are three candi-
dates for the legislature. may
plump" all three votes for one
candidate. In this manner it de-
clared that many whose names have
figured more OF less in legislative
scandals are enabled to secure re-
nominations
Other legislation demanded is:
An amendment strengthening the
civil service law; anti-pass and anti
frank law; revision of the revenue
laws; employers liability and work
ingmen's compensation acts; greater
control of railroads, express, tele-
graph and telephone; making posi-
BILE the commission form of govern
ment; conserving state and natural
resources.
At a meeting OF the state central
committee Roy o. West. of Chicago,
was reelected chairman; Governor
Deneen declared that the day is past
In which a platform could consist
largely of pleasant sounds. He de-
,clared the document of the party
must be prepared to live up to the
promises.
