WILL YOU STAND ON this
Preliminary Draft of the Republican
Plato m to be Adopted at the State
Convention, June 27.

To the Republican Voters OF Vermont:
Having been seiecsed by the Repupl1=
can State Committee OF Vermont to
draft tentative platform for submis-
sion in advance of the Republican State
Convention, to be held at Burlington,
Thursday, June 81, 1912, in order that
due notice may be given the voters con-
cerning the several proposed recon-
mendations of the platform, and that
the action of the convention may be
predicated upon general knowledge of
the same, and therefore more binding
morally upon the party and its chosen
representatives, [ herewith submit a
preliminary d,att of said platform.
This draft is but tentative; is subject
to changes made before and during the
convention, and will undoubtedly be
changed as the result of the attention
it is hoped it will receive.
The platform will be considered by
the entire Committee on Resolutions,
consisting OF one member from each
county, selected by the State Commit
tee from the delegates-elect, at meet
ings to be held at the Committee Head
quarters at the Van Ness House, Bur-
Hngton, on the afternoon and evening
preceding the convention, Wednesday
June 26, at which time an opportunity
will be given any Republican who
wishes to be heard on the subject of
the platform. The final draft will then
be made by the Committee on Resolu-
tions for submission to the convention.
1t will be noted that this tentative
platform makes no mention of national
issues or candidates. 1t is impossible,
in advance of action at the Chicago con-
vention, to introduce these features.
Nor is it necessary in order to serve the
purpose for which this preliminary plat
form is submitted, which is to direct
attention to the proposed attitude of

 nTOWNYf W HELPS
JAPANESE CITIES AS MODELS
Lecturer Declares They Are Ahead of Other Nations In Municipal
 Government

That western ideas of civilization have permested Japan to such an ex- tent that 1t Is rapidly forging ahead of some of the recognized leading ns- tions of the world was the declars- ton made by Harvey N. Shepard of Boston, former attorney general of Massachusetts, in an address on Zap anese Municipal Governments" to the members of the Philadelphia City club. MT. Shepard also declared that the Japanese people were far ahead of Americans in solving municipal sf. fairs.
 "In no other countries on the face of the earth" he said, "sre the mu- nicipal governments closer to the will of the people than they are in the Flowery Kingdom, and graft and ex. travagances such as often charged against the officials of cities and towns in our own country are prac. tically unknown. While the munici, palities of Japan are of more recent development than our own they are founded on f1rmer basis to further the prosperity of the people. Patterned after the cities of France and Prussia their administration corresponds greatly to that of the municipalities of those two European countries. All over Japan there is marked progress in municipal affairs Public works are being forwarded and they are con. structing good roads and developing their harbors."
 MT. Shepard spent many years in Japan and studied closely the phases of life In that empire. "As skilled workmen," he said, "the Japanese are rapidly becoming proficient and are equal to the skilled workmen of OUT own country. There is no child labor in the factories, and because of this wages have increased perceptibly While modern and ancient civiliza, tions are contrasted sharply with each other in some parts of the Japanese islands, they are rather modern country with telegraphs, railroads and other conveniences such as we in America enjoy"

SEES ONLY THE BIG CITIES
Brooklyn Minister Would Have Them eeautlfied as the Centers of
 Our Civilization.

Dr. Hills of Brooklyn, while hold ing pronounced views on the dis graceful condition at present prevail ing in many American cities, has very optimistic views of the future.
 There Is new spirit abroad in the nations of the earth" he said. "A spirit of revolt against the ugliness of large towns Is. now sweeping over the Old World and the New. This revolt has taken on the majesty of destroy. ing wave. London and Paris. Berlin and Vienna are tired of the old ugli ness.
 "In Germany alone 1 have found this summer twenty volumes fresh from the press, with the ink scarcely dry on the pages, on the new science of town planning and city building.
 '1n our own country 1S0 cities are now organized and formally commit ted to 8 commission for laying out the lines of growth for twenty years to come.
 "All of our cities of the first class having over 100000 population, most ot our cities of the second class, with 100000 population to 100000, and more than 100 cities of the third class have their organized municipal com mission on city building.
 "The time was when our civilization was largely rooted in the country, in the farm and the rural village, while the city was only a ganglion and nerve center rather than the brain.
 "Now every year the pull of the metropolis upon the heartstrings of boys and girls in rural districts Is stronger pull. The city Is the center of business, with manufacturing and financial life. The city Is the home uf music, art and eloquence. The city Is home of the college, the libra ry. professional schools, and for all these reasons 1t Is quite certain that as the city goes 50 will go the re plblic."
