BRIEF BUT VITAL
Chairman HiIIeS Expects

CHICAGO, May %. - Chairman
Charles d. Hilles of the republican
national committee Sunday express
ed the opinion that the platform
which will be adopted by the ma
tionaI convention next month would
be unusually brief and deal only
with the most vital public questions.
From information obtained in talk
ing with party leaders on the sub

in the platform will include the fol-
lowing:
A statement on Americanism.

tective tariff 20 be prepared by a
partisan tariff commission Gre
ated by congress. with special atten-
ton to the needs of the industries
of this country, after the close of
the European war.
A declaration in favor of a mer-
chant marine.

legged shortcomings of the demo-
cratic national administration.

declaration of the vital public ques-
tons now being discussed and nomi-
mates a man clearly equal to the i'm
portant tasks which viii confront
the next president. Roosevelt might
not think there would be any need
OF his entering the field. But II the
republicans nominate man who
Mr.. Roosevelt thinks is a misfor-
tune and adopts a platform which
he regards as bunk he may feel
so outraged as 10 run. and perhaps
help re-elect Pres't Wilson"

suffrage Chairman Hilles said there
was a difference Of opinion among
the party leaders and he did not

would take on the subject

MOTOR PARTY IN
NARROW ESCAPE
Auto With Five Occupants
Turns Over in Ditch, But
No One is Hurt.

To have a car in which five grown
persons and a baby were riding turn
over in "a ditch and the occupants
not injured. was the adventure OF
a party Of motorists who left South
Bend yesterday afternoon.
The people in the car were r. J.
Ross and wife of 1894 Woodward
av: f. w. Shoemaker of Indianap-
oils. with his wife and baby. and
y. V. Shoemaker.
Last week Mr.. Ross purchased a
new car and the Shoewalters were
in South Bend spending the day with
the Ross family.
The party was driving down the
hill near the county farm on Portage
I'd. Ross and his wife were in the
front seat and the others in the rear
seat, with the baby in Mrs. Shoe
walters lap. Another machine was
ahead of them, driving slowly. Ross
attempted TO pass the first machine
OF IL. when a third machine. driven
by Joseph Werwinski. appeared
from an opposite direction.
Skids Into Ditch.
In trying to- avoid hitting Wer-
winski's car, Ross turned TO the
other side of the road. His machine
skidded into ditch and turned
over on its side. throwing the oc-
cupants into the mud.
Werwinski stopped his machine
and took Mr.. and Mrs. Shoemaker
and the baby into town. None was
severely injured.
Ross face was scratched and his
clothes were torn: the top and mud
guards were torn from his car. but
it was still in running condition.
With the assistance of men from
the county farm, the machine was
pulled out Of the ditch and Mr.. and
Mrs. Ross drove il back to South
Bend.
