REPUBLICAN PLATFORM
OVERLOOKS VETERANS

Washington. June l4.-Republican
leaders were chagrined to-day to dis
cover that for the first time in sixty
years they omitted to mention the old
soldiers In their platform. At every
convention since the war there has
been a strong blank endorsing the
veterans and approving OF generous
pension law. Whether the omission
was duo TO the hurry OF tanning the
platform through, or by design, is not
known. Mr. Hughes will be expected
to make good the omission In his let
ter of acceptance.
