REPUBLICANS PLAN
A SHORT PLATFORM
Continued from page l

that it was ready to join hands with
the Republicans, provided the main
principles for which the Progressives
have contended are set forth in the
Republican platform, and provided,
further, that the nominee OF the Re
publican convention lives up TO that
announcement. 1t will be recalled that
the Perkins statement specifically said
that that did not necessarily mean the
Republicans would have to nominate
Colonel Roosevelt.
Delegates Independent.
Gas to who will be nominated, no one
can even guess at this time. | believe
the Republican convention this year
will be composed Of delegates who are
independent in their thinking and who
will deliberate soberly and seriously on
the national situation. | don't think it
will be convention that will be classed
as deliverable in the sense that word
is used.
"This will be a convention in which
the deliberate and sincere judgment OF
q majority Of the delegates will pre-
vail in the end. | make no compari-
sons with other conventions. and do
not mean TO make any insinuations, but
the whole national situation this year
is such that the Republican delegates
will think very carefully and soberly,
and even prayerfully, before they COM
nit the party on these vital issues.
Mckinley, in one Of his great cam
paigns, said that whatever might have
been the situation before that, this was
a year in which business was politics
and politics was business. We can
paraphrase that a little and say now,
on the eve of the opening of the Re-
publican convention, that. whatever
may have been the situation heretofore,
this is a year and time when politics
is patriotism and patriotism is politics.
81 don't think we need have any fear
as TO what .the convention will do, both
as to the platform and the candidate.
No Hasty Nomination.
Chairman Hlles denied a report that
the organization had ever thought of
attempting to force the nomination of
a candidate for President the first day
Of the convention
"Such a plan has never even been
discussed by members of the national
committee, and it would be impossible"
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1916-05-29

said Mr.. Hilles. "The convention will
follow precedent. II will meet at II
a. m. Wednesday, June 7, listen TO IN.
address Of the temporary chairman,
and appoint the committees.
"The second day will be devoted to
permanent organization and consider
alton of committee reports, which, OF
course, will include the adoption Of the
party platform. The third day will be
devoted 10 the nominating speeches
There is a disposition 10 place no tim.
limit on these speeches.
After that will come the bslloting
for President and Vice President and
nobody knows how long it will take to
get through. We hope to get through
Saturday, but if there is a deadlock the
convention may go over to Monday.
This convention will be a truly de-
Lucrative body, and it is pure specula-
ton to attempt TO say what 1t will do
in the matter of nominating a candi-
date for President, or when II will get
through"
Convention Secretaries Named.
Chairman Hilles appointed Frank A.
Smith. of Pennsylvania, as chief as

COmmoner Wants Ex-GOv-

Place on Ticket.
PROSPECT OF FIGHT
ELATES TAMMANY MEN
MarshaI's Friends Threaten
Trouble if He Is Cast
Aside This Year.

Democratic politicians we're inter-
ested yesterday in a story that waited
in from Washington that William j..
Bryan wants former Governor Joseph
w. Folk, OF Missouri nominated for
Vice President at the St. Louis conven-
ton. Mr.. Bryan and Mr.. Folk, who is
now chief counsel for the Interstate
Commerce Commission, have been po-
litical chums for years, and the belief
is that the former Secretary Of State,
seeing the opportunity at hand, intends
TO take advantage OF 1t.
Vice-President Thomas R. Marshall
wants a denomination, and his friends
are declaring that there will be trouble
if he doesn't get it. Tammany men
Yesterday expressed enthusiasm at the
prospect Of fight at the Democratic
National Convention. The followers of
CT. Murphy haven't been any too anx-
ious to 20 to st. Louis to attend what
one of them yesterday called "rktifi-
cation meeting" but the possibility OF
another fight with their ancient enemy,
BRYAN, made the boys" perk up bit.
Tammany Eager for Fight.
What lent color to the Folk for
Vice President" story was the gossip
that has been fltering through Tam
many for several weeks that President
Wilson is not enthusiastic about hay-
ing Mr.. Marshall as a running mate
again. 1t has been whispered that the
President and Vice-President haven't
been as chummy as they ought to be,
and tina: consequently the President
would not become angry If some other
candidate for Vice President were nom
mated.
The chief argument that the friends
Of Vice-President Marshall put for
ward in support of his denomination
is the fact that two United States Sem
ators are to be elected in Indiana this
fall and that his nomination again
will mean that ,he will carry the state
and the two Senator'S with him. On
the other hand, the Democratic advis-
ers of President Wilson insist that TO
be successful the ticket must have the
unqualified support of Bryan. Friends
of the Commoner declare that his pres
ent intention is to take the stump for
the Democratic nominees.
Bryan is none too friendly with
Marshall, either. the more so because
the latter's most important political
asset is the friendship Of Senator Tom
Taggart
Still at Odds with Wilson.
It is said in Washington that the re-
lations between the President and the
Commoner have not changed since the
famous God bless you incident at the
White House; if anything they have
become a bit more strained. AS re-
suit, it would not be unusual for Mr..
Bryan to be given the honor of picking
the Democratic candidate for Vice
President in order TO promote the har-
mony that is so much desired in the
neighborhood of the Executive Office
just now.

HENDRICKS SEES
IRIS STRENGTH
Syracuse Delegate Writes
of Growing Senti-
ment There.
lBy T,lesraph TO me Tribune J

Kingston, n. Y, May 28.-Francis
Hendricks, the Republican leader Of
Syracuse, in letter to a friend in this
city, says that while the sentiment for
Colonel Roosevelt's nomination is in
creasing in his district, he is unable
10 predict what he or Willard Rill, his
fellow delegate from Syracuse, will do
until they reach Chicago. Mr.. Hen
bricks has always been known as n
warm friend and supporter Of Colonel
Roosevelt Four years ago he voted
for his nomination at Chicago, and it
was believed that he intended to do the
same thing this year.
In his letter Mr.. Hendricks says:
There is quite a sentiment in this
district for Colonel Roosevelt, increas-
ing, should say. and my personal re-
lations with him are quite cordial,
but / am not prepared to say how our
delegation will act until after we reach
Chicago"
Sixteen committees Of Republicans
who supported Taft four years ago
have got together in as many Congress
districts upstate to work for the nomi-
nation of Colonel Roosevelt by the Re-
publican convention. In the next few
days committees will be organized in
the remaining four upstate Congress
districts. The organization Of these
committees is the result of the spread
Of the Roosevelt sentiment, following
the organization Of the Roosevelt Re
publican Committee a week ago.
These upstate committees are hold
ing meetings in behalf of the Colonel
and are cGnvassing the enrolled voters
of their respective sections. They are
also circulating petitions calling on the
delegates to support the nomination,
and before New York States represent
atives leave for Chicago on Saturday
they will have a pretty good idea as to
the sentiment of the Republican voters
of their respective districts.
Reports which the Roosevelt Repub-
lican Committee has received from up
state indicate a decided trend in favor
of the nomination Of the Colonel. In
the large counties Of Erie, Onondaga
and Monroe the sentiment for Roose-
Velt's nomination is so strong that some
/ Of the prominent men in the party
have organized TO work for il. In
Syracuse, which is in Onondaga Coun-

/ Colonel Roosevelt leads all other

tional Convention, is leading the work.

On the eve Of his departure for
Kansas C:ty yesterday Colonel Theo-

for bsttleship cruise for civilians
has been termed; the other denounc-

provision in the pending naval ap-

establishment Of the engineering corps
in the navy.
The Colonel motored into town from
his Oyster Bay home yesterday after
noon and. after a brief visit to the
Century Club, left with his secretary
for the Grand Central Terminal,
where ne boarded the $3.50 o'clock
train for Chicago. en- route for Kan

The Colonel was in fine spirits, but
had no comment on the political stu
alton. Friends who had talked with
him said he was confident of the out
cone.
The naval Plattsburg is, as the name
implies, an effort on the part OF the
department TO do for the navy what
the Plattsburg camp did for the army.
To assist in arousing public interest
and securing enrolments for the
cruise committees have been formed
in this city, Boston, Philadelphia and
Portland. The New York committee
consists # Thomas ". Slocum, chair
man, W. Butler Duncan, George F..

To Mr.. Slocum the Colonel wrote:
ANY Dear Mr.. Slocum: The ques-
ton of preparedness in relation TO our

From Father
to Son

Today, if a man is born with
a silver spoon in his mouth,
it is usually Corham-made.
This is not a travesty on an
old saying, but the modern
version of that saying which
is literally true.
Americans have been using
Corham knives and forks and
spoons for years and years,
and thousands of them in
use today were inherited
from the original owners.
That proves the dependable
ity of Corham craftsmanship
under the hardest possible
test, for in the last analysis,
length of service means
strength of service in silver
ware.
And that is the sort of service
you want in any and all sill
verware you buy-the service
which survives the wear and
tear of usage, combining the
resistance of silver metal with
the integrity of Corham
manufacture.
And if price is a
consideration, then
so is GorhanS !

the Chicago Coliseum for the Repuo-
lican National Convention on June Z
has been completed. The big building
with its 12,O25 seats for delegates al
ternates and visitors, is ready Inc

erected to provide additional seats, has
been painted, and every chair is IN

be kept under police guard day and
night as a precaution against fire.
Il cost Chicago about $4,000 to pro-
vide the Republican party with suit
able melting place for its 1916 national
convention. The arrangements for
this years convention hall are declared
superior in every way to those OF any
hall ever used by the party for SINH
lar purpose, and credit is given to Colo
mel William F. Stone, of Baltimore,
sergeant-at-arms of the national COM
mittee.
Began with Bare Hall.
When Colonel Stone took possession
of the Coliseum, on May IS, he found
nothing except four bare walls and a
roof. All the interior fixtures, with
the exception Of the regular balcony,
had been removed. His first work was
to prepare plans for the remodelling
of the interior. Within a few days he
decided on the detailed plan and award,
cd the contract, and several hundred
men were put 10 work.
In planning the press section, whlch
contains nearly 700 seats and desks
for the use of newspaper men, Colonel
Stone has made every possible pro-
vision for the convenience ana COM
fort Of the correspondents. There are
sufficient aisles TO give easy access 10
every part of the section, heavy ran
is around the entire stand 10 prevent
ANNOYANCE from outsiders, and special
exits lead TO the large telegraph ana
telephone room in the basement OF the
annex. where hundreds of special wires
have been installed to connect the con-
vention hall with the outside world.
Colonel Stone has established res
taurant. an emergency hospital and
branch postofice In the annex COM
modious and we'll appointed meeting
rooms have been prepared FOR com
mittees. In carrying out this work the
coloneps principal assistant has been

James b. Reynolds, secretary Of the
national committee, IS another ofncial
who has played an important part IN
the preliminary work Of the conyen-
ton. Under the direction OF Chair
man Hilles, he has had charge OF the
engraving. allotment and distribution
of convention tickets. When he under
took the task of allotting tickets TO the
various news associations and news
papers, Mr.. Reynolds found there were
more than 5000 applications for the
700 seats provided.
Mr.. Reynolds is preparing the tenn
porary roll of delegates and alternates,
and later will compile the evidence IN

OVEN MUST BE lust RIGHT
Faults Of Cookery That Have to 30
Remedled by the Most Care
full Attention.

This would be a fine cake If only
my oven had been just right" How
often have you heard friend make
that remark and agreed with her too
but did either of you know what that
lust right" meant?
Uniformity Of heat is most I'M
portant feature in successful baking.
1t requires skill TO obtain just the
right heat. Not so very long ago q
great bread bakery found it neces-
sary to let some of the great ovens
cool of. After the fires were rebuilt
It was about week before they could
be sure OF the uniformity OF the bread
baked in those ovens. This merely
demonstrates to the housewife the
necessity for giving time and atten-
ton TO her oven when she intends 10
bake.
When the cake comes out Of the
oven cracked it has been subjected
to too great a heat at first. The cake
baked so quickly at first that the gases
did not have a chance to escape, and
finally when formed in enough vol
ume, they broke through the top, leav-
ing a great crack. When the oven
is unevenly heated the cake either
rises up in the middle or on either
side. making it impossible to make
an even layer or TO frost a loaf
cake to advantage. When the cake
falls" it is because the oven has been
too suddenly cooled or the cake Jared.
