Ever Changing Platform of the Colonel to Include Such New Ideas as Sug- gest Themselves to Him From Time to Time
FINISHED AGAIN
 FOR THE PRESENT
Probably There Will Be No Plank Relating to the Re call of Judicial Decisions; Call for Convention to Issue Tomorrow
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPATCHl

OYSTER BAY. July .-"The pro- gressive movement" as Roosevelt put it tonight is to be the keynote of his campaign It means, he said, the rutting into effect of "every principle tor which we stand"
 The cOloners statement is regarded as an indication that he would draw the line for an uncompromising fight; that would insist upon a platform and campaign of such nature as to lay before the people for their yer dict in November the complete pro- gram to which he has committed himself.
 ROOsevelt's views are set forth in his charter of democracy speech at Co lumbus. Ohio last February, which marked his re-entry into active pol itics. Since that time he has de- clared himself unqualifiedly for wO- man suffrage.
 The platform which he drafted for submission to the republican national convention was not brought forth, owing to the refusal of the colOnels sanction for participation in the con- vention. It is understood that this platform will be the basis of the one the former president will submit to the convention of the new party at Chicago next month. although con- taining in addition a statement of his belief of the necessity for a new par ty and an attack upon the republican and democratic parties.
 That the courts will come in for attention at the hands of the new party is indicated by the fact that the colonel passed a large part of the afternoon considering the subject He had with him William Ransom, a Brooklyn lawyer who attracted the cclOners attention several weeks ago by delivering before the New York Bar association a lecture in defense or the recall of judicial decisions, the doctrine enunciated by the eX-presi- dent in his Columbus speech After his talk with Ransom the colonel said he had been considering steps to select as candidates for the i judiciary men who it is believed ! would measure up to the needs of the time. Roosevelt did not indicate whether he would urge the new party to take stand in favor of the re- call of judicial decisions. It is be- lieved. however, that he will not in . sist upon this step as he said throughout his recent campaign that he favored the application of this | measure to the state courts only. The call for the national convention i of the new party is ready. he sald' 1 and will be made public on Monday Francis Heney of San Francisco, the 1 graft prosecutor came here today | from Baltimore to give the cOionel his idea of the probable line up of

CLEARING THE GROUND
 FOR THE GRAND LODGE
Opening Session Of B. p. o. E.
 Tomorrow.
ASSOCIATED PRESS DIsPArcH1

PORTLAND, July 6.-Grand lodge officers, members and committees worked today preparing for the opening session on Monday of the grand lodge B. P. o. F. The credentials committee held it's first session today although there are no contests, it will have to work overtime to get all Credentials approved,
 After q thorough discussion of the subject of the new national home the committee it was learned today, prob ably will refer back to the grand lodge the question of the proposed construc- ton of a new Elks home.
 AS the committee was empowered to act by the grand lodge last year this action is interpreted as a recommenda- ton that the grand lodge defer the con- StructiOn of the home.
 The committee on the preservation of Elk, it B said, will make a strong recommendation for federal protection of the animal. It is believed that sup port will be urged for the Warren bin now pending in congress for the crea- tiOn of a federal preserve in Wyoming and for the Kent Perkins bill for the creation of a number of federal pre- serves in different parts of the west.
