The platform adopted, in addition to

an national convention and republican ma
tional committee at Chicago; severely
critlcises President Taft as a reactionary
and denounees what is alleged to be his
subservisncy to the special interests; euio-

most man of the world and declares for

States SENATOR'S indorses the initiative and
referendum and asks for physical valua-
ton of railroad property and a protec-
tive tariff, suited to the fostering OF
labor in domestic manufacturers, agricul-
ture and other industries"
The first Roosevelt enthusiasm mani
tested itself when a telegram from Col
onal Roosevelt congratulating Iowa pro-
gressives and condemning the Chicago re-
publican convention was read.
DR.. Charles Talmage OF Boston led the
delegates into another burst of applause
when he criticised Gov. B. f. Carroll of
the latter's defense of the Chicago con-
vention.
That portion of the platform referring
to President Taft reads as follows
we here utter solemn protest against
what has been done at Chicago and Bal
timore in two national conventions and
against what has been done and is being
done at Washington by President who
has proven recreant to the trust imposed
in him and who long ago definitely and
completely abandoned the cause of the
people to do the bidding of the BOSSES"

Washington, July 24.-With onlv a
partial plan of action agreed upon
among the republican leaders of the
Senate, three days tariff fight will
begin in that body tomorrow when
the democratic wool tariff bill is taken
up for amendment and passage. Be-
fore the end of Saturdays session the
Senate will have acted upon the wool
tariff, the sugar tariff and the demo-
cratic excise bill, which would extend
the present corporation tax to bus
iness done by individuals and co-part-
nerships.
Both the republican and the demo-
cratic forces were divided tonight over
the embarrassing questions that the
tariff programme presents. The break
in the republican ranks came as the
1lresult of the Introduction today by
/ Senator Cummins of substitute wool
tarlff will be based on the figures given
by the tariff board.
The action of Senator Cummins was
not in accord with the understanding
regular republicans had of the plan to
be followed tomorrow Leading repub-
lican members of the finance commit
tee held an informal conference to-
night to determine whether third bill
representing their views should be in
| troduced tomorrow. No agreement was
reached as to the possible introduce
tion OF a bill that had been prepared
by Senator Smoot.
Democrats Caucus Friday
The democratic leaders called a party
caucus TO meet Friday. The purpose
of the caucus. 1t is understood, is to
adjust conflicting views on the sugar
tariff and attempt to meet the views of
democrats who object to the free sugar
. bill passed by the House.
Senator Borah today introduced a
Senate substitute for the excise tax
bill, complete income tax law 1t is
the same measure he offered when the
Payne-Aldrich tariff was under discus
sion and was then defeated Senator
Clamp also offered an amendment to
the excise bill to strike out of the pres
ent corporation tax law the provision
exempting corporations frem paying
tax on incomes derived from other cor
porations that had already been taxed.
