K. A. Better to Claim an Alibi on Thursday
When Arraigned in Court on Charges
Made by KenOsha Girl.
WHO WAS THIRD MEMBER OF TRIO?
Mystery Developes to Who Was Third Member of
the Trio if Betzer's Claims are Substan-

An element of mystery was injected
into the charges of criminal assault
brought by the state with Miss Pauline
Miles as complaining witness against
Nels Madison, Chester Kramer. and R.
A. Better, when it was announced this
morning by attorneys for B etzer that
this defendant would claim an alibi
when the case against him is called for
preliminary hearing on Thursday af-
ternoon at one o'clock in the municipal
court before Judge Slater.
The question naturally arises if
Better can establish a claim to an
alibi: Who then was the third member
of the trio, who was the driver of the
automobile and who in the story told
to the court by the complaining witness

ADOPT PLATFORMS
AT MADISON MEETS
Blaine Faction Has No Opposition at
Meeting of the Republican
Candidates.

Madison, Wis. The Wisconsin
Republican platform convention late
Tuesday afternoon adopted the declar-
alton of principles requested by Gov
ernor J. j. Blaine, elected Robert M.
LaFollette, Jr. chairman of the state
central committee and adjourned with
out ripple of opposition to any pro-
posals of the administration.
Democratic nominees meeting here
at the same time, reconstructed the
platform on which they will enter the
general election in November, re-elect-
ed John P. Hume chairman of their
state central committee and conclud-
ed their platform convention. Less
time was taken by the Socialists who
merely adopted a resolution calling for
repeal of the Severson prohition law,
and elected Frank Weber head Of their
state committee, while the prohibition
lists with three members present again
named w. G. Dean to head the party.
The Republican party platform, as
requested by Governor Blaine, is prac-
tically identical to the primary cleo
ton platform, Of the LaFollette pro-
gressive Republican candidates.
The Democratic party adopted a
platform containing the following
planks calling for:
Enactment of soldiers bonus.
Adequate provision for road build
ing.
Rigid economy in administration of
state government.
Criticism of Republican leaders in
Wisconsin for attacks on courts.
Referendum on the proposal to modi-
fly the Volstead act.
Approval of the policy of collective
bargaining.
Repeal of the Esch-Cummons act.
Establishment of definite forestry
policy by the state.
Amendment to the present primary
law to prevent destruction of party
organizations.
Meetings of the Socialists and the
Prohibition party nominees were short
and perfunctory, while the Democrats
spent the day considering their plat
form and deciding on policies.

HOUSE OVER-RIDES VETO
MQuiring Reporter
ToDAY's QUESTION:

AOO<A4 y QOC4o LAWN
What attitude do you think the
United States ought to take on the
Turkish Greek situation?
ANSWERS:
Victor Pappas, Buffalo Candy Kitch-
en-: Not only the United States, but
the whole world, should join together
against the Turks. The Turks have
massacred people for many years now;
they have killed entire families, sepa-
rated husbands and wives and burned
homes and cities. They should be en-
tirely taken off the map and placed
down in Africa somewhere.
Chris. B., Main street: The United
States and the other nations of the
world should band together in the ex-
termination of the Turk. The Turks
are not good for anything. They have
massacred people and burned cities.
The whole affair will probably result in
world war in driving them out.
j. B., Main street: The United States
should help Greece, certainly. The
Greeks have protected American prop
erty, so now let America return the
favor. Drive the Turk off of the map,
out Of the world!
James Coston, 31S Main street:
Greece is one of the oldest, most civ
ilized nations Of the world. They are
known as being very highly cultured
and never have they done any harm to
anyone. America should help the
Greeks by all means. Why should they
help the Turks, who have done the
world great harm? During the last war
many Greeks fought in the United
States army and bought large amounts
of Liberty bonds. Now is Americas
chance to return this.
