THE G. o. P. PLATFORM

TNllE efforts Of Chairman Hays. Of
l. the Republican national committee
to draft party platform in advance Of
the meeting # the national convention
have reached the stage where the things
for which the party stands must be
put in words and written down on
paper.
His subcommittee of III. which rep
rcsents much larger committee. meets
in Washington today to consider the
replies to n long list of questions sent
out to representative Republicans in
an attempt to discover the sentiment Of
the party.
1t has not vet been disclosed whether
tho resulting document is to be- made
public before the platform committee Of
the convention is appointed. The plat
form committee is likely to draft its
own platform after considering the mu-
titudc of suggestions that will be before
it-SuggcStionS made by the powerful
leaders of the party rather than by
the unofficial group Of prominent men
and women representing all shades Of
Republicanism which starts its dclb-
rrations today.
Although platforms are usually for.
gotten within twenty four hours after
they are adopted aud although prcsidcn
tial campaigns arc frequently fought on
issues which the platform writer's have
iguorcd. there is nevertheless Il lngpr
ing hope in the minds of q good many
self respecting Rcpublicans that the
platform adopted ia Chicago this year
will be- something moro than IL collcc-
tiOn of plutitudcS and !. congcricS of
Dclphic uttcranccS squirting both ways
on every controvcrtcd question: These
Republicans would like to see the cam
paign inspired by higher motives than
the desire of the ''outS' 10 become the
Inns.
There arc millions of Republicans
who have definite opinions on the rola

have with the rrSt of the world and on
the duty Of this country to follow
through to the end the task which it
