CHICAGO, June 5.-Discussion OF
platform planks began today among
candidates for the Republican nomt-
nation, their managers and leading
Republican politicians here for the
convention A series of platform CON
fereHces was started, at which the
treaty plank and other essential is
sues were gone over.
These conferences will continue
over Sunday. Leading Republicans
were endeavoring to counteract an
impression which they said had got
ten abroad that the Republican plat
form was framed in advance and
brought to Chicago by Senator Wat
son, of Indiana, the most active can
didate for chairman of the resolu-
t1ons committee.
There is mo- cut and dried pro-
gram on the PLATFORM" said Senator
Watson today: Certain tentative
drafts of number of planks have
been made, embodying the views of
members of the house and senate.
But these are merely for presenta-
ton to the committee. Everybody
Will have a chance to be heard on the
PLATFORM
The candidates today declined with
one accord to comment on Senator
Moses statement regarding steam

General Wood said all he wanted
was fair settlement" of contests
that would not leave acrimony and
dissension. ->'
glad, of course, to receive the inv1-
ation'' from Senator Moses to join

Il have received many such invf-
tations, the most of which involved
my becoming a candidate for vice
president" said Senator Johnson. at
is strange how many men who think
l am totally unfit to be president are
willing I should be vice president"
Senator Johnson, who is preparing
to discuss in a speech Monday night
the treaty plank, the contests before
questions, was asked whether ne
would accept the nomination if the
platform should declare for treaty
ratifcatien with the Lodge reserva-
tons.

ator Johnson.
DR.. Nicholas Murray Butler today
denominated the primary system "a
fraud on the public" in talk with
newspaper men. He said it did nor
result in carrying out the ideas of
representative government.
when Senator Johnson was told
of DR.. Buffers statement, he said:
Strange that the men who get the
fewest votes in primaries should be
so against the system"
He announced that after the cleo

BY THEODORE TILEER

WASHINGTON, June with
the early return to duty of General
Churchill, head of the military inter
ligence branch of the army, an
nouncement is expected of the. men
selected by an army board to go to
China and Japan to study the Ian
guages of the Orient. The present
plan of the war department is not
send more than four young men to
the Orient, but there are well over
hundred applications for the posi-
ton. When the successful appli-
cants are announced the persons
designated will be sent by the army
to China and Japan and there at
tachel to the embassy STATS of the
United States in these countries.
The detail probably will be for
Two or three. years, during which
time T 1t is expected the American Of
hcers will master the foreign lam
guage and be reauy for any, Oriental
mission the war department may
designate Major General Peter c.
harris, adJutant general of the
army. said Friday night that the
had not yet filed its report, although
1t may soon be expected. Temporar-
lily, General Churchill, who has i'm
mediate charge, is on sick leave, and
announcement probably will be with
held pending his return to Washing
ton.
One or more Georgians are report
ed to be among the many applicants
for these foreign posts, but it could
not be ascertained what chance they
stand. Considering the number Of
applications, but a small fraction of
those, desiring to enter the military
intelligence branch of the army for
this special language study can be
selected, as the present program is
to send two each to Japan and
China.
The persons selected probably will
be designated as assistants to the
military attache of the American
embassies in the Oriental countries.
