PLATFORM IS
STANOPAT TO |
THE LIMIT

1By United Press Leased Wire.)
CHICAGO, June 21.-As a
further indication that the regu-
lar republicans have decided to
draw the line sharply between
radicalism and conservatism, and
that the party will stand. squarely
on the latter issue, the sub-com-
mittee on resolutions today wrote
into the temporary draft of the
platform q plank denouncing the
recall of judges and recall of
judicial decisions, two of the fav-
orite planks of the Roosevelt pro-
gressives.
1t Is expected that the factions
of the progressives who do not
subscribe to the Roosevelt bolt
and who intend to remain reg
ularn will oppose the plank in the
full committee and even on the
floor of the convention. but in
view of the majority held by the
conservatives and their apparent
desire to put an unequivocal
stamp OF that sort on the "regu-
lar platform. it Is expected that
the plank will stand. Whatever
It's fate, the baFollette men will
present platform as a minority
report. No difficulty over the
tariff declaration developed to-
day,

The Roosevelt people are en-

ROOSEVELT MEN ONLY
WAITING FOR SIGNAL

AS the Taft organization evil
IDENTIFY intends to go forward with
the disputed delegates 1t Is clear
that Roosevelt will bolt the con-
vention or ignore 1t entirely and
form the new party.
Colonel Roosevelt put in the
entire morning in his suite con-
ferring with his lieutenants. AS
soon as the convention was call
ed to order the colonel's private
wire to the convention was put
in operation and he spent the
afternoon listening to the report.
During the afternoon the Okla
homa delegation of Roosevelters
started a movement to have a
committee of the new party lead
ers go to Baltimore to meet with
the progressives in the democra-
tic ranks with a view to getting
them into the new organization
in event of the nomination of a
reactionary by the democrats.

CHICAGO, June 21. = The
Roosevelt men were content to-
day to passively await develop
ments. They took no definite ac-
tion towards the forming of the
new party, neither did they push
the bolt" movement any farther.
Their program today, however,
seemed to have been generally
understood. They did not OPP
pose the steam roller tactics and
apparently are only waiting for
the signal to take definite and
drastic action.
There is no doubt but that
Roosevelt will abide by his an
nouncement of yesterday in which
he said he would not consider as
regular any action taken by the
convention so long as the fraud
tainted delegates were allowed to
participate.

TAFT CONTROL
DEPENDS ON
CONTESTED
VOTES

(By United Press Leased Wirc.y
CHICAGO, June 2f.-The So
called .'fraud tainted" delegates
from Washington, Alabama, Tex
as and other states, numbering
seventy-two, wlll be allowed to
vote upon the question Of their
own seats In the convention.
The convention this afternoon
laid on the table the motion OF
Governor Hadley of Missouri that
the 72 Taft delegates whose seats
have been contested be not per-
mitted to vote on any question
connected with the convention
until their right to sit as dele
gates had been passed on by the
convention. The vote WAS as fol-
lows: Ayes, 500; noes, 499; not
voting, 10.
"Stolen" Delegates Save Taft.
The delegates i'm dispute in-
Guiding the fourteen from WASH
ington. were allowed to vote on
this question. Had they not been
permitted to vote the progress
sives who polled 499 votes would
have won the point. The vote Of
the fraud tainted" delegates is
all that gives the Taft faction
control of the convention.
When the vote OF Washington
state was reached and the re-
quired majority of $40 had been
passed, the Taft men cheered
wildly,
Root then announced that the
motion of Delegate Walker to
table the Hadley motion that
would substitute the minority re-
port for the majority report In
the Ninth Alabama district, was
In order This. he said, would
not carry adoption of the major-
ity report.
Hadley demanded record roll
cali and Pennsylvania and New
Jersey seconded, thus securing q
second lengthy roll call.
The Taft men characterized the
Hadley move as filibustering and
insisted they would hold their
ranks intact II dozen roll calls
were ordered. There was great
confusion at this point In the gall
leries and on the floor and Root
ordered the police to either keep
the visitors quiet or clear the
galleries.
On the motion to table the
Hadley motion which would sub
stitute the minority for the ma

The convention was called to orr

OF a number OF the very finest Here
fcrd heifers, which will form the nu-
cleus of breeding herd which, with
the blue ribbon bulls which already
hsve arrived, will rival any breeding
herd in the United States. Too much
credit cannot be given to the manage
ment of this large ranch, which sup
plies more than 80 per cent of all the
beef consumed in Honolulu, for tie
excellent quality of this most import
ant food product which Is now Con-
stantly available here, besides which
these importations of the Parker
Ranch have made 1t possible for less
favorably situated cattle breeders to
obt9in high class breeding animals
without having to send away for
them. In this way the entire Terri
tory is benefited and it is safe to pre-
dict that before long the evstwhile
long horned and long legged rave
cattle will be thing of the past in
these Islands.
I'm absolute contrast to the above
stands the local poultry industry. Dur.
ing the past month not less than 49,
crates of live poultry arrived at this
port alone, many of the crates hold
Ing five or six dozen birds each and
nearly all of egg laying breeds. This
Is one of the problems whsci has been
repeatedly discussed in these reports
but instead of getting better it seems
that the importations are constantly
increasing. Vast quantities of cold
storage eggs and butchered puoltry are
constantly arriving ard while the de-
nand has increased greatly with the
military invasion. the local supply
seems to he diminishing instead of
responding to it. In no previous one
month, not even at Thanksgiving or
Christmas time, do remember seeing
such quantities of live poultry arriy-
Ing here, and still / know eS no more
ideal conditions for poultry raising
than those which obtain here, barring
the cost of feed. But that one obiec-
ton Is easily Offset by the prices
which poultry and eggs command
here. There are no diseases worth
and costly housing is un-
called for, and still such thing as a.

IMMIGRATION VIA .
PANAMA CANAL

Undoubtedly the Panama canal will
have a noticeable effect upon the flow
OF migration to, the United States. It
is expeced to draw to the Pacific
Coast thousands of foreigners who are
now settling in the eastern part OF the
country. mostly in places already con.
gesed. :, 81. .>. ~
In the main, this diversion ought TO
have a wholesome effect. Our social
scientists and POLITICAL economists
have been casting about for solvent
for this perplexing problem of better
distributing the newcomers. for their
sake and for our, and the caral seems
to offer real encouragement. 1t is
easy to see how an immigrant from
Europe, perhaps none too well possess
ed with money, who would hesitate to
embark upon land trip across tue
continent might more easily follow
the line of least resistance when tue
Panama canal is in operation and he
is offered inducement upon embarking
at home to fix destination at the west,
instead of the east, coast of America.
Pacific Coast cities and states are,
We are aold, preparing for this ireVit-
able influx. These people, who have
