Woman Voter, Tariff, Social Legisla-
these issues contestants formed a basis
for the platform.
Issues React to News
But as the contest proceeded other
issues rapidly developed in reaction
to the news of the day. Cost of liv-
ing, at one time laggard In the list,
mounted dizzily in the statistical table,
following the trend Of prices. Propa-
ganda alien to the American form Of
government precipitated food Of
planks on Bolshevism, while the
Socialist custer at Albany swelled the
hue and cry for an issue Of American
citation.
The campaign for better system
Of education, more pay for teachers
and Federal supervision of our pub
strive for solution Of this problem,
with the result that the issue Of Edu-
cation had to be carved out Of the
general issue Of Social Legislation.
At an earlier stage of the contest
the illness Of the President brought
many suggestions for providing
against the incapacity of the Presi-
Dental incumbent. These are cited
in illustration of the manner in which
the platform contest reacted to the
front pages Of the newspapers.
Considering the difficulty Of framing
a plank within the compass Of 100
words, much painstaking work was
done to elucidate the issue of Labor
and Capital. The great majority Of
contestants took the view that labor
will no more be content with in
creased wages than capital will be
satisfied with increased profits.
By way Of remedy, most Of them
suggested a national arbitration tri-
bunal with power to enforce it's de-
cisions. Others urged cooperation
between labor and capital, profit shar-
ing and the shop council. Measures
against aga It, public corporations ;p3,;s and fx-
through incorporation and penalties
for breach Of contract.
Up to the last two weeks Of the
contest Foreign Relations led all the
issues. Interest in this issue was es-
pecially stimulated during the treaty
fight in the Senate.
The bulk of the votes was cast for
ratification of the treaty with reserva-
tions protecting the sovereignty of
the United States and the unimpaired
vigor Of the Monroe Doctrine. "Bitter

against any form of league, are we'll
represented in the ballot.
There is sprinkling of friends Of
the treaty as presented to the Senate
by the President. Advocates of School
of Diplomacy voted for an adequately
trained and better paid corps of diplo-
mats to represent this country abroad.
Cost of Living Issue
Back Of the issue of Americanization
the idea of better citizenship by native
as we'll as naturalized Americans was
consistently advocated. The school for
training citizens is generally offered
as a practical instrument For the eff
fectual working of a remedy against
Bolshevism, correlative to the issue of
Americanization, a variety of measures
are suggested, recalling the severe anti
alien and sedtion Jaws of the Jeffer-
sonian days, with their mass deporta-
tions.
Under Army and Navy Programs the
advocates of a big army and navy and
of universal military training far out
numbered their adversaries A few
planks specified better aviation de-

The platform contest. which began
January 26 and ended April 80, brought
out total Of 1921 planks. This fig
siderable number Of submissions posted
after the expiration of the time limit
Countrywide Caucus
By way Of recapltulation, 1T may be
said shat in plan and scope the con-
test was devised as q sort of country
wide caucus in which Republicans OF
high and low degree might give ex-
preston to the issues they would like
to see laid before the leaders in the
convention to take place in Chicago
next month.
The main purpose was to give range
to those who deemed that proper
platform might be as effectually
framed in the thoughtful retirement Of
the homes and studios of the country
as in the rly-burly of a convention
These objects, it is believed, have
been realized. The contest has been ma
tional in scope. Presidential candi-
dates, United States Senators, members
of the House Of Representatives, Gov
ernors Of states, state legislators, party
leaders and the rank and file Of the
Republican party have given of their
counsel in the framing of the platform.
Emphasis is to be given to the fact
that the issues were developed by the
contestants themselves. When the con-
test began there were certain definite
issues of national Importance upper
most in the minds of voters. Among
them were Americanization. Capital
and Labor. Foreign Relations, and
hardy rerennials like Prohibition. the
