LA TOILETTE PLATFORM OUT
Views of Wisconsin Senator Are
Given to Comnaittee-Opposes
the Adrich Currency Plan.

Chicago, June 19.-The platform
views of Senator La Toilette were
presented to the committee on reso-
buttons By the Wisconsin member,
State Senator w. c. Owen
One plank which would prohibit
the issuances of injunctions in cases
arising out of labor disputes, when
such injunctions would not apply if
no labor dispute existed.
The Aldrich currency plan is OPP
posed and candidates would be
pledged to prevent the federal gov
eminent from coming to the aid of
high finance, " but to aid such banks
as extend a genuine preference to
strictly commercial loans land to the
millions of real producers who de-
pend upon those banks" The plank
favors a carefully worked out and
scientific emergency currency"
A federal trades commission is
favored, to take over many of the
functions nos exercised by the
courts. to Investigate cost of produc-
ton, combinations of capital and
control issues of bonds and stocks.
The plank criticises the attitude of

the Supreme court. which, it says.
makes it plain that any act on the
part of the executive or legislative
branch of the government giving
countenanee 10 trusts or combina-
tons will be construed as an ap-
prevail of the thousands of millions
OF watered stocks and bonds issued
and will fasten them forever upon
the people"
A physical valuation of all monop-
olistic properties would be made by
the proposed trade commission. and
the plank denounces that interpre-
tation of the antitrust law which
uses it to suppress the unions and
cooperative efforts of wage earners
and farmers in protecting their labor
against moneyed nonopolies, and we
pledge a revision of the Law, making
such construction impossible
1t is proposed that the constitu-
ton should be amended by a popu-
lar majority and provides for initI-
alton of amendments "by the legisla-
lures or by majority of the votes
cast therein in each of ten or more
states or by majority in congress-"

Oconto.-The jury in the case of

charged with having placed poison
GUS candy on the stairway of the Nels
A. Nelson home at Surfing, IN Febru-
airy, 1910, and causing the death OF
Hilda Ne son, after remaining out for
sixteen hours, brought in a verdict of
not guilty.
The verdict was read amid the
widest confusion, the spectators
clapping their hands and cheering to
the echo.
The defendant throughout the
long trial was apparently the calmest
and most. self-possessed person in
court and never for moment SEEM

Tne EVIL OF SIMPLICITY.

At the conference Of the Eastern
Millinery association one Of the prin-
cipal addresses was on THE Evil OF
Simplicity in Millinery" The presi.
dent recommended in his report,
among other things. that a press com
mittee see to it that more information
about millinery be furnished the pub
lie prints. At the banquet in the eve
ming Chief Justice Russell delivered
an address on THE Triumph OF
Truth" These three things should be
considered together. Simplicity has
many evils. whether in millinery or
without It, but few people would have
suspected that among them is the
paradox that the more simple the hat
the more expensive 1t is. The fact,
however, was confirmed by other
speakers. Thus. one authority speak
ing at the banquet said: formerly
we paid high for millinery. but now
we pay higher for the absence Of mil
1inery." This is doubtless one Of the
matters on which the president OF the
association wishes more information
given to the public. says the New
York World. II is probable. however.
that most people will be better
pleased by the statement that as sim
plicity in millinery came in with the
hobble skirt. so win II go out with
that garment Unfortunately. while
we are assured that the coming OF the
pannier will bring a splurge in hats.
the intimation that there will be de-
cline in prices in proportion 20 the in
crease of decoration is not accompa-
MED by a guarantee. That Is why we
have a special interest in the atten-
ton given by the banqueters to the
speech on The Triumph OF Truth"

TAFT DELEGATES
ARE GIVEN TITLE
National Committee Upheld in
Contest Decisions.
WISCONSIN DELEGATES AID
Badgers Vote Against Seating Roose-
Delegates in Alabama Contest
Organizing of Third Party by COL
onefs Followers Probable.

Chicago, June 22.-The Taft
forces in the republican national con-
vention on Friday further demon
strated their control of that body.
The convention took up one by one
the contests from many states and in
each instance the Taft delegates were
declared entitled TO their seats by
majorities ranging from a high wa
ter Taft vote of COS to 464 to a mar
row margin of 542 to 529.
The Taft vote of COS came on the
call to substitute the minority for the
majority report in the Alabama
cases. The Idaho and Wisconsin pro-
gressives voted with the Taft men,
claiming that the Roosevelt men had
not made out legal case.
The vote of 542 to 529 was in the
California case, in which the conven-
ton rules for selection of delegates
by congressional districts came into
conflict with the state primary law
providing for statewide vote on all
delegates. Through this technical
ity the Taft forces claimed the two
delegates from the Fourth district
The case was bitterly fought and the
voting was followed with great inter
est, especially when it was seen that
the Taft people were losing many of
the delegates who had been with
them in other contests.
Despite the fact that the Roosevelt
people were defeated in all their
fights, there was no indication of a
bolt. Some of the Roosevelt leaders
had feared that the Californians
might take matters into their own
hands and fail to observe the Roose-
welt program of sitting through the
convention to the end and then pos
sibly taking independent action But
their fears proved groundless.
When adjournment was taken I'M
til 10 O'Clock Saturday, the Texas
and Washington contest cases still
remained to be dealt with.
On Saturday the convention enters
its fifth day and still is proceeding
under temporary organization, con-
dition Unprecedented in the history
of the republican party.
No changes in the decision of the
republican national committee had
been made by the credentials COM
mittee of the national convention
when the committee completed, ct
11:05 O'Clock Friday night. a thirty
eight hour session devoted to con-
test cases. All but the Texas con-
tests had been disposed of when the
committee recessed until 9 o'clock
on Saturday
One of the last contests decided
was that of Washington, which was
decided in favor of the Taft delegates
by vote of 2S to IS
With the Taft forces i'm complete
control of the convention and the ap-
parent certainty of the president S
nomination on the first or second
ballot, talk of the forming of third
party by Roosevelt followers grows.
1t is said a new party to be known
as national progressive republicans
will be organized and a convention
held at Denver in August to nominate
Roosevelt for president and some
progressive democrat for second
place on the ticket.

afternoon faced the second test vote
of the Republican national conven-

Immediately after the convention
