How many men Shere are to-

their associates and made failures
of themselves merely because at

these words from the lips of Pro-
lessor Simmons. principal of Co

To-Day's Prize Letter

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: wonder whether you realize
that your platform plank contest Is
on the border Of great reform,
greater by far than the reforms pro-
posed in any of the planks?
The principle Of representative gov
ernment is right and the tendency
toward specialization makes it even
more useful to society. But our sys-
tenn is bad, and 1t is far more essen
tial that we correct this than to dis
course on things we hope to attain
through the present abortive method.
Our scheme of government is based
upon the proposition that the people
rule, that the representative is pub
lie servant, subject to the public man.
dates. This object is defeated by tho
party platform system, whereby the
voter is obliged to choose from sew
eral groups Of ideas and men, and
when he has cast his vote there is no
clear Interpretation of his will by
which the representative may be
guided.
Now, you are consciously or uncon-
sciously starting. q movement which
strikes at the fundamental error in

Short Planks Will
Influence Voters.
Says Buffalo Man
Public Previously Has Not
Crasped Vital Issues b..
cause They Were Buried
Under Flood of Words
o the Editor of The Tribune.

To the Editor of The Tribune.
Sir: What especially appeals to me
is the emphasis which you place upon
the brevity of the suggested planks
which are to be submitted. In MY
opinion, one Of the reasons for the
failure of larger percentage of the
people to grasp the vital issues of ma
tional and state campaigns in the past
has been the extreme verbosity Of the
platforms.
If your competition does nothing
more than to influence action in favor
of shorter planks and shorter plat
forms, it will have justified itself
many times over But I look to it to
accomplish more than that. l am sure
it will stimulate thought on the sub
jects which should be touched upon in
Republican national platform for
1920, and intelligent forethought is
absolutely essential at time when
there are so many and such varied
nation to-day.
Beyond all that, your generous offer
to award substantial prizes should en-
tice' into the field of platform writing
some of those who are not so hack
neyed at the business that their pro-
ductions no longer have the ring of
conviction and sincerity. BY offering
$500 for a single platform of not more
than 100 words, it certainly ought to
be possible to get the refined essence
OF expression and thought on some of
the nations present-day perplexities.
In the interests of better government
and more thorough understanding Of
the principles upon which the Repub-
lican party stands, wish your contest
success. A. II. KIRCHHOFER,
No. 73 Wellington Road, Buffalo.
