Call Platform Too Lone.


II was apparent soon after the commit.
tee met that all was not to be plain sail
Ing. The tentative draft OF the platform
presented was understood 10 be the work
OF group OF leaders. including Dean
Lewis. OF the Law School OF the University
OF Pennsylvania; Dean Kirchwev, of the
Law School of Columbia University: Gr-
ford PinchOt; Chester Rowen. OF Cali
fornia; Charles Mccarthy, OF the legis-
lative reference bureau OF the University
Of Wisconsin; MedIlI Mccormick. OF Chi
cago. and James r. Garfield. Of Ohio.
II had been announced that these men
had drafted Il scholarly platform, which
was a programme Of genuine social and
Industrial justice and which would mark
new era In this connection In the United
States.
IL required an hour and half to read
this tentative platform. and Immediately
IA dozen members OF the committee at
tackled Il with vlgor. William Dudley
Foulke. OF Indiana. headed the assault.
He declared the platform should be short
ened TO onc-quarte its length.
Hugh T Halberr, OF Minnesota. called
the platform verbose, pedagogic ard lack
ing I'm vitality.
This platform as presented here" said
Mr.. Halbert. docs not even note the
birth OF this now party. II seems to me
that this fact should be set forth In terse.
energetic fashion.
Furthermore, this document makes a
violent attack on the Aldrich currency
plan, without offering the slightest REM
edy. A reasonable currency plan. the
question OF the high cost OF living and
some adequate method OF handling the
trusts are vital points and should be set
forth above all else"
pIanks Torn Apart and Derided.
Several other members of the commit
tee took stand similar TO that OF Mr..
Halbert, and various planks were torn
apart and derided.
II was then announced that the COM
mittee would be engaged In revising the
platform until Wednesday morning be-
fore il would be In shape for Submission
TO the convention.
The plan of the leaders tonight was to
appoint a subcommittee OF seven to con-
fer with Colonel Roosevelt and TO work
out the platform with him.
The idea will be TO condense into crisp.
short planks the various advanced Ideas
TO be outlined TO the convention to-mor-
row by the colonel in his so-called CON
fession OF faith" speech. II was said to-
night that practically all of the progress
siyeness in Colonel Roosevelts speech Will
he adopted In the platform.
There are two or three Of the more
radical ideas. however, which may not
be included. Colonel Roosevelt. II was
said, would not object to the elimination
OF a few proposals. but was insistent that
all the rest should be contained In the
platform on which he is to run.

this evening. NO one IN Washington

will not receive single vote III the
Apparently Colonel Roosevelt is less
optimistic than his campaign manager
or at least has been to-day. For some
unexplained reason the third term can
didate has been sadly out OF sorts
whether this is due TO a belief that his
managers have bungled their handling
Of the negro question and have made
too apparent their attitude toward the
colored brother: whether he has found
the curious assemblage to which he in
trusted the drafting If the platform
unreasonably fanatical, or whether the
chilliness OF his reception in Chicago
was the cause, must remain q matter
Of speculation. The one indisputable
fact, TO which all who have called on
the colonel to-day frankly testify. is
that his customary CHEEKY greeting and
geniality were conspicuous by their alb
sence.
The lively fight that developed to-
night over the platform as soon as the
committee met did not coincide with
the harmonious opening of the conven
ton. Recognition Of the negro. ade-
uuate monetary legislation and terse
wording were the principal points az
issue.

WITT Insist on Recognition
of Rights Of Negroes.
MANY PLANKS CRITICISED
Tentative Resolutions Present
ed to Committee Derided as
Verbose, Pedagogic and
Lacking in Vitality"

TBy a stan Correspondent OF The Tribune
Chicago, Aug. 5.-Criticism OF the attl-
tude Of the Roosevelt party on the negro
issue was made before the committee on
resolutions tonight by Miss Jane
Adams, o, Hull House, and DR.. Henry
Moskowitz. Of New York, a settlement
worker and prominent member of the
Ethical Culture Society. They said they
knew that Colonel Roosevelt, In contend
ing that the negro must have no place In
the party in the South. had In mind a
statesmanlike idea OF breaking the solid
South" Nevertheless. no such plan
should be worked out In any way which
might do injustice to a great multitude of
human beings.
Or. Moskowitz brought the question be-
fore the committee. He declared the
negro had raised himself from a basis or
slave labor TO free. had accumulated
property. had reduced the race illiteracy
greatly and had established a family life.
In view of this advance In his condition
IL III became a progressive party 20 take
any steps 20 set him back In the scale
OF civilization.
1T is very important" DR.. Mosko"itz
said, that this party, formed for the dis
inherited. for those whose rights are now
unprotected. should not overlook the ten
million negroes. hope 'the committee
will supplement the letter Of Colonel
Roosevelt on this subject. and BY plank
in the platform give more hope to the
negro than the brutal Democratic party
OF the South and the hypocritical Repub-
Iican party"

Miss Adams Makes a Plea.

Miss Adams was appauded when she
rose 10 speak.
Some OF us are much disturbed" said
she, that this Progressive party, which
stands for human rights, should even ap-
pear not 70 stand for the rights OF the
negroes 1t seems TO us 10 be inconsist-
ent when on one page OF our newspapers
VIC find that this party IS TO stand for the
working man and the working woman.
and TO protect the rights Of the children.
nnd 10 prevent usurpation OF voters
rights BY special interests and on the
next we find that Il denies the right OF
the negro 20 take part In this movement.
We know this is only in appearance and
Il can easily be cleared up so as not TO
interfere with the statesmanike plans OF
Colonel Roosevelt for breaking the Solid
South. But we don't like TO have 1t APP
pear that way, even. We know the larg-
est purposes OF this party can be filled
and at the same time the rights Of the
negroes preserved, and his mould be
done"
Judge Virgil Kellogg. who comes from
the paper making district OF New York
state. wanted the committee 20 adopt a
