COMMITTEE OF 4s
 BEGINS SESSION TODAY

Chicago, July 9.-Adoption of a plat form of three paragraphs, on which la Dor, non-partisans, and sympathizers with the middle class union can agree, will be the first task of the convention called by the Committee of 4S, which will begin it's session here tomorrow
 The platform which will be used by the resolutions committee as a basis for it's work is one adopted by the Committee of 4S last December when it held the first convention of the new party in St. Louis. It advocatesA public ownership of trans portatior sties and certain other pub lie utl .e9 Kation to force idle land 1nto abolition of special priv l gel
 H >kt will be made to secure. en-
 2i S <4ent of the platform by the Labor ssrty of the United States and the World war Veterans, both of which are hold ing conventions here.
 It is our hope that labor, including farmers and other divisions of the labor ing classes, will find in the new partys platform common sense ideal which 'theycan support wholeheartedly at the polls" said J. A. H. Hopkins, chairman of the Committee of 4S, who has had charge of the organization work which resulted in the calling of the conven- tion.
 The full success of what we are try ing to accomplish would include our get ting the support of organized labor sym pathizers of the single tax. the Non-Par- tisan League, and the bulk of the inde- pendent voters of the country who are dissatisfied with the evasion of respon- sibility which the republican and demo- cratic parties have revealed in their platforms.
 Our delegates from every state in the union include representatives of these parties, who see their opportunity to form a coalition strong enough to insure de- feat for both old parties next November and the election of a president and vice president chosen by the people themselves on platform that undertakes nothing but the courageous meeting of issues which confront America today. We are making no attempt to solve the difficult ties of the world at large, and our plan, st-to-goodness aims will be set forth in the platform we adopt so clearly that every citizen can understaid the princi- pies he votes to support.
 Mir. Hopkins would make no prediction as the probable nominees for president and vice president. He called attention to treturns from questionnaire sent out last spring. Out of 2,100 replies received, LaFollette had the greatest number of first choices for president with 324, Hoov- CT 191, Debs 172, and Johnson 157.
