ROUGH DRAFT OF
PLATFORM READY
FOR ROOSEVELT
Popular Government Chief
Plank on Which Colonel
Is Candidate.

CHICAGO, June l6.-The Roosevelt
forces have completed their arrange
ments for the pre-convention battle,
with the presentation of the platform
upon which Roosevelt will ask the votes
of the delegates and upon which. II
nominated he will make his appeal to
the country.
While the rough draft Is subject to
the revision Of Roosevelt. its presenta-
ton was regarded as the most impor-
tant convention development of the
forenoon and to be only eclipsed in
the view OF the Roosevelt men by the
coming of the candidate.
A Tentative Draft.
The tentative draft of the platform
covers the following points:
One. A declaration that the present
struggle Is one to return the Govern
ment into the hands Of the people.
. Two. A declaration in general terms
strongly favoring popular Government
through such instrumentalities as pref
erential primaries, initiative. referen.
dunn. and recall, including the recall OF
Judges. but leaving to every local COM
munity the selection OF remedies ac-
cording to its local needs and desires
Three. 4 declaration in favor of the
control of trusts by means OF powers
enlarged to enable 1t to insist on public
ity, and then wiping out of practices
by which trusts have exercised evil
effects such as monopoly of prices oil
territory, predatory competition, stock
watering, interlocking directorates, etc
In this the platform reflects the recon-
mendations made by Roosevelt when he
was President. 3D..
Revision of Tariff.
Four. A declaration in favor OF re-
! vision of the tariff downward on data
to be secured by a genuine tariff com
| mission equipped with authority anc
directed to report to Congress. Also
a commission to inquire into the ques
ton whether the workmen in protected
industries are receiving their proportion
of the dement's of the tariff; the lower
ing of the tariff to fall first on indus
tries which have treated their work
men unfairly.
Five-A plank declaring for legislation
| to work out social justice" and in
dustrial democracy" In the industria
| world.
Six-Conservation. including a revivs
| of the country life commission. A planl
| faVoring the inland waterway program
| including the impounding of the water
OF the Mississippi and deepening of tn
| channel from Chicago to the gulf.
Seven-Declaration favoring woman

Calls Halt on TneftS.
Reinforcing the vigorous appeals Of
Colonel Roosevelt for honesty and the
square deal, the country is pouring in an
ever increasing volume of demand that
the convention shall not commit itself
to Endorsement of the series of thefts
which the national committee has per-
;petrated. And all this is proving mighty
effective. Last night former Governor
woodruff of New York gave out that
he for one could not stand for the steal
of the Texas delegates, that was pulled
off by the committee yesterday: He felt
outraged, as a party man and fair player.
with the rawness of that performance.
1t was declared that not less than
twenty-three votes in the New YORK
delegation were ready to night for
Roosevelt, most Of them even to the
point of opposing Root for temporary
