sJEERAGE ]: PLANK CUT OUT
 TAFT PLATFORM
Barnes Plank Opposing Recall of Judges and of Decisions of Judges May be
 Adopted

Chicago, June 72@Condensing the platform. with endorsement of Presi- dent Taft and the tariff blanks, -the principal disputes, was begun, this morning, by the resolutions commits tee. Presentation of the platform to the convention at noon, today, was the program.
 Roosevelt delegates centered their platform first on the proposal to en- dorse the Taft administration. They are strenuously fighting even the barest mention of Taft's name. As a compromise the Taft platform builders offer plank endorsing Mo Kinley. Roosevelt and Taft in the same breath.
 Waterways Improvement received opposition from Senator Burton, of Ohio. He caused such a squabble in the committee, last night, that an ad- journment was taken until today, for the subcommittee to complete the tentative draft.
 Elimination of the woman suffrage plank originally drawn giving wom- on suffrage in state elections only was practically determined, today, be- fore the committee met.
 A new provision agreed to is a dec> laration of ship subsidy, ten per cent reduction of the duty gon goods brought to this country m American vessels.
 Another plank declares opposition to the recall of judges and Judicial deci- sions, practically as written by Will liam Barnes, Jr., in the Rochester platform. The tariff plank is another disputed question which will probably reach the convention floor. The pro- gresives have agreed to a plank de- claring for revision of the tariff down ward "to equal the difference in cost of production at home and abroad" ]" but the Taft tariff proposed to add the words 'and a reasonable profit to American manufacturers.
 The thigh cost of living" will be
 touched upon as a part of the tariff plank illustrating athe necessity for safe and sane gradual reductions of the Payne-Aldrich schedules but in accordance with the findings of non partisan tariff committee. Continua- tion of President Taft's tariff com mittee may be recommended.
 Cognizant of the power of the con vention "steamroller' the Roosevelt forces, today, abandoned a plan to bring in minority report, incorporat-
 ing the Roosevelt ideas. But the La Toilette faction proposes to report a straight out and out LaFollette plat form attacking the money trust de claring for the initiative. referendum and recall and advocating the direct primaries in elections from the Pres ident down.
 The majority platform when com. pleted, did not mention the recall of 1 judges Or judicial decisions. the ini- tiative or referendum.
 The administration of President Taft was endorsed and the President
 himself was given the highest praise

took issue with Halbert He had hardly started to talk when Former Governor Fort challenged his right to speak as his seat was one of those under consideration. Root held that he had no right to vote but had a right to present his case and reply to the charges made. Dovell repeat ted his argument of last Tuesday when he explained the Washington case and criticised the Roosevelt conven- ton as a ''bolting trump outfit
 There was no demand for a record roll and, by viva voce vote the Taft men were seated.
 This was the greatest surprise of the session but it developed that the progressives realized they had no hope of overturnine' the majority and they decided not to waste time. They agreed they had reached the ''high water mark" last night, in the Cali forn1a case, and they saw no use in forcing the issue further.
 Victor Rosewater, chairman of the national committee, came down the aisle and the Texas and other dele gates called him back, saluting him and generally having fun with him.
 One big Texan picked a diminutive Nebraskan politician up in his arms and started to carry him about the hall in triumph. There was long wait for the committee on credentials to finish its work and the Roosevelt delegates started a dem onstration for Roosevelt.
 Shouting in unison, We want Ted dy," we want Teddy they soon had the chanting chorus swinging through the hall. The galleries were kept under control, however.
 The state delegations began cheer ing for themselves and for each other and a delegate in the Pennsylvania delegation got a laugh by showing a miniature steamroller to the crowd. Dynamite Ed' Perry and his '.Okla- homa Bearcats' gave series of wild "whoop- which showed they had plenty of unexpahded lung power Delegates sang popular songs and q mournful minority in the Wisconsin crowd hurnmed 'Nearer My God to Thee'' and others sang airs.
 While the. delegates were enjoying themselves, Chairman Root chatted with a number of leaders on the stage. The band was playing a live ly tune when man in the rear gall | sign on which was printed in big black and red letters: 1-.zsyss.s.4. What Senator Root said about Penrnse and his. followers: They are an aggregation of criminals masque- rading under the name of Republi- canism.
 F. There was a wild roar.
 The chief. of police gave sharp order and a dozen bluecoats rushed up to the gallery. The sign was pull ed away and the man who had dis played it was summarily elected from the gallery. The incident started a battle of words between the New York and Pennsylvania delegates who were seated side by side in the front rows. a
 Flinn declared that the police were exceeding their rights. They had no right to act in this way, Finn shout ed. .sYou, fellows who. stand for such things as this, this Interference with personal liberty, might just as we'll. recognize that your days are nufnbered.. He was launching into speech when the band in the rear of the gallery began playing My Country 'Tis of Thee

 The name National Progressive Party has been ac- cepted by the exPesden and he, with his leaders is debating upon the best date for perfectng temporary organization preliminary national convention to be held early in August.
 The attitude of silence upon the part of the prpgres sives will carry with refusal to be bound ceedngs of the convention which proceedings will be declared fraudulent and illegal possibly in address reduced to writing.
 The remarkable astuteness of Roosevelt has virtually prevented any of note from accepting the Taft nomination for Vice President.
 Every big enough to receive this nomination has participated the attack upon the legality of the convention.
 The work of the convention may be over by midnight Every effort will be made to finish The delegates are becoming impatient to go home. The floor of the tion the of much confusion and personal icts narrowly prevented, especially when inter change of corteses took place between Chairman Devne, of the committee credentials and Minority Leader Me Corick, of the committee, in quarrel over the minority and majority reports of the committee.

 Late this afternoon Roosevelt held meeting with the 80 delegates who unseated by the national mttee
 The Vice Presidential nomination offered to Sen ator Cuns and to his colleague Senator Kenyon and refused by both.
 There is effort upon the part of the Taft forces to appear unconcerned the Roosevelt movement but their is poorly concealed, and almost any Taft delegate will privately admit that he fears the worst even the complete destruction of the Republican party

 It is probable that the Roosevelt delegates will make no effort to amend the platform but the La Follete dele gaton will offer complete document, of the most pro- gressive character.
