PLATFORM WILL Be
SHORT AND INC|S|VE:
On Most Points Leaders
Have Agreed
MORE TRUST LAWS
Division of Opinion Has Arisen Over
Regulation of the Money Inter-
ests-Oppose Third Presi-
Dental Term


Baltimore June 22-The democratic ma
tional platform builders promise to pre-
sent To the convention next week doc
ument that shall be short and sincisive.
On most OF the major points conservative
and radical leaders seem to have agreed.
Some of them say that the differences
likely to arise in the committee on reso-
luilons when il considers the platform
next week will be matters of language
rather than of contents.
If William ]. Bryan wins his light to
have the keynote of the convention sound
ed by progressive chairman. Mr.. Bryan
will probably be made chairman Of the
resolutions committee. Under any cir
eumstanees he IS expected TO play an inn
portant part in the construction of this
important document.
In view of the republican situation and
hints thai the leaders Of third ticket
may appeal for support TO progressive
democrats, there is little doubt that what
ever the complexion OF Inc convention,
the platform will make sweeping eonees
sions to the radical element in the party.
Senator O'Gorman of New York. who
probably Will represent New York on the
resolution committee. says that 1t is the
consensus of opinion that tie tariff should
be the issue, and thai i W. 5. 1T
plank should be the committees first care.
The next plank in order of Importance Will
relate to business monopolies, Conces-
sions to the prosressives Will be in favor
Of more popular government. Some of
the leaders assert that there will be no
reference in the platform TO the initiative
no t.afa md ha rap11l
matters were regarded as distinctly state
issues. The states probably will be asked
to consider a plank for the adoption of
preferential primaries. and the advocates
of uniform country wide primaries will
secure a hearing.
Division of opinion has arisen over the
possible regulation of the money interests
The progressives are planning to advo-
vate a strong plank against the so-called
money trust A milder form of this
plank proposed today is a simple declara-
ton in favor of forming currency
amendment to make it more elastic and
better able to meet conditions IN money
panies
A universal woman's suffrage plank ar
rived here today and several prominent
suffrasettes already have been promised
a hearing before the committee,
Other planks which will be considered
are as follows:
Declaring for regular increase of tho
navy, probably the construction of two
battleships a year ~
Permitting the postal employees to or
dain.
Improvement of rivers and harbors
Favoring a national public health bu-
reau
There was talk today of plank in
strong terms against a third presiden-
tial term. The proposed constitutional
amendment favorng a six year term for
the primary, with no election also is re-
ceiving favorable attention.
