Platform Contest For Young People Opens

And to this remark the bowling and whirling dervishes who attended the convention might have replied, if they had waited long enough to hear il through by yelling, Hail, Hail, the gangs all here and would have darted off to catch up with their fellow bacchanals. A smell of cocktails and whisky was iniquitous and dense pail of tobacco smoke pervaded the com mittee rooms Out of doors the cla ng of brass bands drowned even the in cessant noise of the throngs. There was no night, for the myriads of cleo tric lights made shadows but no dark ness, and you wondered where these strange creatures slept
 Such saturnalia did not begin with the convention of 1912. Most of those who took part in them hardly thought it a paradox that these should be the conditions under which the Americans nominated their candidate for presi- dent"
 If these conditions were strange for the nomina ton of a president, they were still more strange for working out and formulating the principles and blanks of a political platform.
 A political platform would surely have more clearness if thought out in the libraries and studies of the schoi- ars of the country than in the turmoil
  would have more consistency if made away from it's jarring elements; it would have fewer evasions and ambig uities if not made under the pressure of it's clashing interests, and the great organic truths of sociology and eco monies for the guidance of a party could be more profoundly considered ana more effectively expressed.
 A Wide Gulf Exists
 There never was a time when the two great parties have differed so fun damentally in principles now: diff ferences that go to the very foundation Of society; never t:ne when so many brands of quack medicine have been so energetically hawf<ed about cures for the distempers of the state, and therefore never time when an honest nla tform of straight thinking. holding out no false hopes and promising no short cuts to the millennium, is more important than now.
 For these reasons I subscribe $10,000 to the national republican committee with the suggestion that it be used to offer three prizes; one of SC. 900 for the first: one Of 5000 for the second. and one of s1,0o0 for the third for the best suggestion of a republican platform. the competition to be open to the grad uates of the classes of 1915 of the Uni-

 Let Arizona take the lead and show the United States that her youth understand the vital political questions of today, and will do their share to safeguard our tomorrow.

 Should this idea appeal to you to the extent that you will give it your sane ton and influeHce, it will be necessary for you to assume the responsibility ot furnishing the machinery and expense required for reading the manuscripts submitted. It may be that the commit tee will wish to open the competition to all the young graduates of American universities and to young non college men and women as well. If so, any dec's>on reached by the committee will be entirely agreea ble to me.
 Of course. it is not my idea that such Q platform would be necessarily adopt ed by the national convention, but the educative effect upon the people at large might have a beneficial indirect result, and may aid you in your well directed efforts to interest young peo- ple in politics
 l would suggest thsr Dr David Jayne Hin Dr. Nicholas Murray Butler and the Hon. Albert J. Beveridge be re- quested to act as judges Of the merits Of the platforms presented, and that they be assisted in their work by . corps of young scholars. I have reason to believe that they would be willing to serve.
 The platform should contain at most twice the number of words used in the last platform of the republican national convention of 1916, in order to give space to suggest or explain the reasons for the different blanks. In 1916 the platform contained 6,000 words.
 Should you approve the three judges whom l mention, I suggest that you re- qEire all competitors to submit four copies of their manuscripts, one signed ard three unsigned. Please also des- ignate the address to which all manu- scripts should be sent and the last date upon which they will be received.
 I also suggest that The North Ameri- can Review shall have the right of first publication of any manuscript passed upon by the judges.
