The Platform Contest

The Republican statewide platform contest the announcement of the winners in which is made this morning, believe will have marked and ex- tended effect upon citizenship this state. It was confined to persons twenty-five years of age Ordinarily persons under that age take little interest in the problems which engage the attention of the leaders the great parties. Com paratvely few citizens of any age do and suppose platforms adopted in national conven- tions are read by comparatively citizens of age and studied by stin fewer.
 This contest brought out eighteen young and women some 0 we feel for the first time, took a deep interest public affairs regarded them as affairs of their own They have and what they have learned win inspire them to learn more. The interest they invited to take will throughout their active dives. Their government will be them and diff ferent government which they parts
 The winning platforms which being printed wiI be widely read by hundreds perhaps thousands, of persons who never before read party platform, we have doubt that this reading will inspire reading and closer study of the platforms of the two great parties which will be adopted this week and the other, within a month than would otherwise have been given to them. Those plat will talked about than they would otherwise be. Even those who do not read study them will hear of them and discuss their outstand- ing features so that thousands voters will act intelligently next November
 One of the evils of our government. of any democratic government, is the ignorance of the pie and their apathy concerning the government. They ndolently rely party assuming that their party leaders know what ought done and will do the right thing. They are. therefore, bound party Party becomes their proxy.

Victim, of Bridge
Accident Buried

Hubbard. Aug. 12.-The funeral
of Phillip OFT, who was killed when
his car went off the Pudding river
bridge at Aurora Sunday night. was
held in the Methodist church in this
city yesterday afternoon. conducted
by the Hubbard Knights of Pythias
lodge, of which he was a member.
Probably no one will ever know
just how Mr.. OFT came to be involv-
cd in the accident. County Commits
sioner Goulet of WRdburn was in
Aurora Monday Investigating the
matter. No one saw him go over ani
as he was alone in the car it will
never be ascertained how the acct
dent happened. The investigation,
however. brought out the fact that
OFT was always cQRidered careless
driver and that he had little knowf-
edge of the machine. The general
opinion Is that he was driving fast
and simply lost control of the machine
People who had previously ridden
with him assert that he was reckless
and often met with narrow escapes.
