Chicago, May 9.-Wheat followed the
usual course after government report
being easy early and advancing later
nm short covering. Prices by mid -day
were we'll above last nights close. The
buying today was induced by further
crop reports from Nebraska and the
southwest claiming damage from in
sects and dry weather. The forecast
for possible showers over the dry dis
trict brought some selling orders early.
The seaboard reported some demand
for wheat burt gave out no figures.
Winnipeg, however. claimed that ex-
porters were liberal buyers of their May.
Corn-Corn was easy during most
of the day, many Of the local profess
SIGNALS pressing the selling side. The
bearish features are fairly liberal coun
try offerings and the rapid progress
that is being made in the planting of a
large acreage. A good deal was made
by the bears on the report that Argen :
tine corn was being worked to come to
New York but this was later con-
strued as bullish because the corn is
sold to Cuban ports at fancy price
and is to be reshipped from New York.
Oats-Oats were easy early in the
day, but reacted when wheat showed
more strength and by midday trading
was around yesterdays prices. Crop
reports were generally favorable, al
tho some complaints were received
from the southwest.

WILSON 70 WRITE
DEMOCRAT PLATFORM
PRESIDENT WILL NOT INVITE
AID OF BRYAN OR PEACE
ADVOCATES.
PLANS TO DICTATE
EACH AND EVERY PLANK
Republicans Planning on Writing
Stronger Platform Than That Of
1s12-coIonei Roosevelt Not to At
tend Either Republican or Progress
i've Convention in Chicago.

Washington, May 9.--For the first
time in twenty years william Jennings
Bryan will not be dominant in framing
the democratic national platform.
President Wilson will fashion that
important document this year, with
out the aid of the Nebraskan. Just
who is to head the resolutions COM
mittee, which will present the plat
form to the convention, has not been
decided, by the party leaders. but the
platform itself will be the work large
ly of the president. 1t may be that he
will write some of the planks himself,
but at any rate he will dictate the
whole instrument.
Lodge G. O. p. Chairman.
Senator Lodge will lead in preparing
the republican platform. 1t is ac-
cepted here that the Massachusetts,
senator is to be chairman Of the re-
publican resolutions committee. altho
there has been much talk about max
ing him the permanent chairman of
the convention. r. e.. r.
1t will be a more difficult task to
frame the republican than the demo-
cratic platform. The democratic
pledges of the 1912 platform are to be
brought forth again in much the same
dress, possibly with some new and
stronger language in connection with
foreign policy. framed to give strength
and Endorsement to the Wilson poll
cies. Because 1t was the platform on
which the democrats Won four years
ago. the democratic leaders here are
averse to making many changes in it.
To Rewrite G. O. p. pfanes.
The republicans will have to get a
platform this year that will appeal
to the voters better than did the plat
form Of 1912. They will have to re-
model their tariff plank and write
some new planks on foreign questions
TO offset the effect of the democratic
pianks built on the basis of a policy
that has kept the country out Of
war"
Senator Lodge Is considered the
ablest man in the republican ranks
when II comes to shaping up planks
on the foreign questions. For this
reason, it is understood that he has
been slated for the craftsmanship OF
the resolutions committee.
Root 70 Have Part
He will have undoubtedly. the as
sistauce OF former Senator Root and
other party leaders in performing TINS
task. Should Colonel Roosevelt be
the nominee of the convention he Will
take a prominent part in building the
party platform, especially those por-
tons dealing with foreign questions
Both OF the parties seem to be drift
ing to conviction that 1t may be
necessary or advisable to insert in the
pla storm a plank indorsing equal sur
frage. It is not SO much that they
favor the plank as that ninety-one
presidential electors will be chosen
from the twelve states now having
equal suffrage.

iwill not be in Chicago for either the
republican or the progressive national
conventions. He is to remain IN
Oyster Bay, but he will be In instant
touch with both OF the big politicai
events
This information came from a source
that is in closest touch with the
colonel and is considered as authori-
tative. 1t sets at rest some fears Of
representatives of the field OF active
candidates for the republican nominal
ton.
The one bunch Of danger heard IN
all the rival camps is that 7. r., VIII
get into the convention, make speech
and start something that all candi-
dates working together couldn't stop.
Proposal to Muxzis Him Heard.
This worry had reached the stage
where the ACCESSIBILITY Of preventing
the colonel from speaking, II ne did
come to Chicago, was seriously con-
sidered by managers of active candi-
dates. The element--not substantially
llarge-tllat wanted to shut him OUT
was promptly squelched, according TO
reports. It was urged on behalf OF
this minority that the colonel Is not
delegate or an alternate, and tech
nically not entitled to be heard.
The ultimate decision was that the
crowd that had to shoulder the re-
sponsibiIity of squelching y. r. would
be committing political hari-kari Ihe
only thing that happened formally was
the fiat rundown by the national COM
mittee's SUBJ committee of the sug-
gestion that Mr.. Roosevelt be tempo
rary chairman and that Mr.. Tart ne
permanent chairman, thus taking care
of the two republican ex-presidents.
The colonel, apparently, has settled
the matter by making his plans 70
stay away. The possibility remains al
ways that this program may be over
turned in a jiffy and that he WIN re-
neat the procedure of 1912. when "
also was announced that he Wouiu
not come to Chicago. When the Crisis
arrived he came, and a sensational re-.
ception awaited him. s
Moose Meeting Thursday.
The. progressive national comm1ttee'
IN session in New York on THURSDAY,
seems likely to take important action
with respect to the colonel and the
presidential nomination, 1t was learned
yesterday.
Substantially all progressive dele
yates have been elected. Illinois IS
about the only state that Is not FOR
mally instructed to vote Tor hoose-
welt -, ~ =. sz+4 49,
The difficulty now Is reported to ne
that the republican situation Is 80
chaotic that inside political wisdom
dictates that the colonefs nomination
by the progressive convention be de-.
layed as long as possible. 1t Is not
considered advisable to have MN
nominated formally by the progress
sives until the republicans shall have
gone thru at least a dozen ballots.
The progressives have nothing 70
do except adopt platform. nominate
roosevelt and the vice presidential
candidate and adjourn. Thes can w
th,s In two DAYS. The report in Chi
cago is that the national committee
Thursday may determine upon re-
cess until there is line on WHAT Is
to happen at the Coliseum.
