Dea Moines. July 13.-Platform maxi
ing is going to be one Of the biggest
things before the state convention
which meets this week. The filing OF
the ticket has not attracted attention
that calls for any excitement. Candi-
dates have not been able to arouse any
enthusiasm nor controversy. But the
making Of the. platform Is already en-
gaging the attention of the thoughtful
leaders of the party.
That the republican state platform
will not be Just like that Of two years
ago il certain That platform was made

never recur. And it was platform
which did what was intended-saved
the state to the, republicans.
Platform Outlined.
This year an entirely different stu
alton prevails and the general talk 10
to have a short and sharp statement
OF principles and to avoid anything
likely to stir controversy in the party.
Two years ago the platform touched on
these among other things:
Endorsement Of progressive principles.
Commended republican management
of Iowa affairs.
Praised delegation at Washington.
For referendum as to important
measures by legislature.
For strengthening the antitrust
laws and enforcement.
Better tariff laws and reduction OF
some schedules.
Publicity as to public utility accounts
and business.
Convicts to be employed in produce
tive labor.
Revision of the Iowa school laws.
Revision Of banking and currency
laws.
Urged reduced rates to the state fair.
For good roads legislation.
Submission Of equal suffrage amend
ment to voters.
Endorsement of workmen's compen-
saton principle.
Legislation for uniformity in assess
ment and taxation.

conventions.
National Affairs.
Much of this program has been prac-
tically completed and some parts are
now out Of date. But no party ever
y presented a mere progressive program
Of social service than that.
i There will be. Of course, Endorsement
of the acts of the republican party in
the state, thru its chosen representa-
tives and Endorsement in general way
of the work of the republican members
of congress in both houses. There is
likely to be something about the policies
Of the national administration. It is
not anticipated any fight could be
started over any proposed prohibition
plank or equal suffrage or anything of
that Sort
The good platform writer's should get
busy and have the planks ready for the
