WHO TOOK PLANK OUT Oh
Despite the present gathering
of the Bull Moose here, the great
mystery of the missing plank or
who snagged a piece of the par
TVS platform has not been solved.
The plank in question was the
trust one, which came out fatty
for federal regulation of the
trusts.
1t first was passed unanimous
ly by a subcommittee of a sub
committee of the committee on
resolutions. It then was passed
unanimously by the sub-commit-
tee, and, after some debate, also
by the resolutions committee.
1t was late at night when the
resolutions committee passed the
plank, and the news was flashed
out over the Associated Press
wires.
About half an hour later Oscar
King Davis, chairman of the Bull
Moose national committee, ap-
peared at Associated Press offices
and asked that the trust plank be
taken out of the platform in the
news dispatches.
Oscar King was all fused up
about tired in the face and ex-
cited. The Associated Press at
first refused to take the plank out,
but at last listened to o. KS pit
eous pleadings and sent out a kill.
The next day carbon copies of
the entire platform, as passed by
the resolutions committee, were
sent ont TO all news agencies and

; BULL MOOSE PLATFORM
What leader ordered Surgeon
Davis to operate on the platform
and remove it? Why did that
leader order the operation? These
questions are among life's little
mysteries.
Col. Roosevelt was asked
about the missing plank yester-
day. He said he could not talk
politics while here.
Senator Dixon was asked about
it. He said that he did not know
what had become of the plank.
Oscar King, the surgeon, was
asked about it. He looked vague
and said that he did not recol-
lect."
Other Bull Moose leaders were
asked about the missing plank,
and each and every one of them
subsidized into a moist state of bad
memory.
Somebody sneaked that plank
out Of the Bull Mouse platform;
but who did it, and why, seem
likely to remain mysteries.
Still, there rises before one a
picture of the Hon. George w.
Perkins, late partner of J. Pier
pont Morgan, but now treasurer
of the Bull Moose party.
]. Pierp. is a collector of Old
Masters, and will go to any
length to get them Can it be that
his former partner is collector
of platform planks and viii go to
any length to get them?
