National Republican Chairman
John D. M. Hamilton today as
serted the 1895 Republican plat
form Is first concerned with th'
"genuine welfare of American
men and women" and that it pro
poses to advance that welfare II
definite and specific ways"
Speaking before women'I
forum here he said:
"a platform should be a state
ment of the convictions and
program Of the party which
drafts it. If a party seeks the
responsibility of government on,
a platform which it considers
perfunctOry or which it holds
in disdain, then q vital part Of
the machinery of representative
government has broken down. =.
PRODUCT OF ALL
at is perfectly true that the
Republican platform has not the
unified literary style that marks
the platform drafted by Mr..
Roosevelt. The Republican plat
form, being the product of many
minds, bears necessarily the
marks of argument, of persua-
sion, of compromise.
"If these be defects they are
the same defects which the
Democratic form of government
has in contrast to an autOcratic
form of government. the dOcu-
ment stresses the devotion of the
party to the institutions of self
government, not because of any
academic interest in those inSti-
tutiOnS, but because of q con-
victiOn that their maintenance,
unimpaired, is essential to the
welfare and continued freedom
Of every man, woman and child
in this country"
Hamilton said the platform
"emphaSizes the all Importance Of
the issues of unemployment, relief
and security" and promises tt
guard against unfair private
monopoly. He added:
at would lift from private
enterprises, which alone can give
unemployment to the unempIOy-
ed, the stronghold that has de-
velOped during an AdminiStra-
tiOn which seeks to allocate to
itself a control of enterprise and
the launching of initiative.
SANITY IS MOTIVE
"FinalIy, the platform deals
with the restoration of san and
orderly processes in the admins
tratiOn of government itself. 1t
advocates the use of the full
powers of the Government to
maintain free enterprise in the
face of both private and govern
mentally fOStered monopoly.
at proposes that the Govern
ment shall restore order and
reasonable economy to its fl
nancial policy before a break

Purdue Faces
Rough Ride to
Defend Lead
Two Big Ten Foes to Give
State Five Stiff Test
Over Weekend
By United Press

By CHtted Press
LAFAYETTE, Ind, Feb. 90
Purdue's precarious perch on the
top rung of the Big Ten ladder will
be anything but an easy seat over
the coming weekend as the pace
setting Boilermakers tackle North
western at Evanston on Saturday
night and then return here to meet
Minnesotas upset" quintet on
Monday night.
Although Purdue already holds
victories this season over both foes.
neither triumph came without a
struggle, and the Boilermaker
speedsters probably will be forced
to set fast pace as they battle for
the right to share in Big Ten
honors for the third successive year.
The immediate interest of Boiler
maker fans is focused on the re-
turn tilt with the Wildcats on
Saturday night, for although Pur-
due holds top-heavy edge in 81
games played since 1919, with %
victories against only five losses,
all of the recent battles have been
thrillers, with last Saturdays
31-to-27 decision no exception.
The long-range shooting ability
of the Wildcats provides the main
worry for the Boilermakers in view
of last Saturday nights exhibition.
Unable to elude the close guarding
of Red" Lambert and Pat Malaska,
the Wildcats were trailing, 27-to-15,
with five minutes left to play when
they finally threw caution to the
winds. Five long range shots in
rapid-fire yielded as many field
goals, and what had been a rout
was turned into bitterly contested
battle in the final seconds.
In an effort to chalk up the
ninth successive Big Ten victory of
the season, Coach Ward Lambert
intends to stick to the same COM
bination that started against the
Wildcats last Saturday. Austin
Red Lambert will be at back
guard, and fiery Pat MaIaska.

Ed Elliott, scrappy senior, will be
at center, with the two left-handed
