NOT RADICAL IF HE'S NOMINATED Colonel's Platform Will Ignore Boss Rule, and Questionable Political Tenets. NOT UNLIKE TAFT'S His Views on Trusts Very Much Like Those of the President. Chicago. June IS.?Since his arrival here Colonel Roosevelt has consider ably dtFCoru.-e.rtvd his lieutenants by rra?cing it plain that ha intends to tight before the country, it nominated, on issues, entirely different from those on -which he bases his claifns to -the j control of tho party machinery. The j shibboleths of reform Which he used I In h'.s campaign State by State .will he discarded from now on. N-*w Issues i bav been designated by the Colonel for his war ?with the Democrats, anil ta^ Issues, which have been designed particularly for effect in doubtful States, will be appended to a platform which will .be. from a Roosevelt view? point, particularly conservative. The Colonel la still in the position of thinking that one essential thing for him >io do is to got the n aim I nation. | That problem has not besn made eas. .r I by his <.x5irting. .uid for the prevent he leaA'Iag the drafting of the platform almost cnt-rc.lv to his lieutenants. But he has insisted upon three planks, and tncy five the complexion of the whole, and show what hl.?. idea is in going into batrtJe against the Democrats with an entirely fresh supply of am? munition. In Tnft's Footsteps. lu his present more conservative mood tho Colonel is hard put to It to differentiate between himself and tne poll'.ics of President Taft, whom he has t so excoriated for supporting them. The 1 Mississippi Rive r project Is. of course, a ' bid for local strength, pure and simple, f But In hjs trust plank Colonel ltoosc ' veli is following close !n the tracks ot J the President, : The strange thing about li Is iliat in ' advocating national corporations. 1 which, by the way, he did in an Incon- 1 splcuous way Ions ago. the Colonel Is ,j taking the is.^ue for Which President * Taft was most bitterly denounced by the Colonel's supporters in the Senate in the parliamentary battle of 1010. The ' insurgent Senators, all of whom are j now supporters of the Colonel, *f they are not themselves candidates for the ( presidency, grouped that plan along j with the Commerce. Court for sweeping ( denunciation as a scheme for white- , ( washing offensive corporations. But! blncc that time Mr. Taft's plan has;! grown In popular favor, anil the Insur- i ] gents, one after the other, have taken | it up. The Industrial Commission Is embodied In the Da. Pollette bill now , pending before a Senate committee, and Mr. Cummins has indorsed that. And Federal incorporation for interstate;, eeimpanles is now claimed original by I , all. The Colonel claims It, too. Changes Rls Turin Views, In tariff matters. Colonel Roosevelt, until he became a candidate, had con? sistently approved of President Tafts curse In tariff legislation. Cvou Mr. Taft's disastrous handling of the tariff battle of 1009 won him letters e>f en? couragement from the hunter In Africa, And the platform on which tho Presi? dent stooel and upon which he I'.is so unfalteringly based his vetoes was prepared for him In the White House* by Colonel Roosevelt's direction. That la forgotten In the plank In? sisted upon now by the Colonel. It will re Itc at gre0,1 length a new history of j protection, Th whir* it win be ? t forth' entirely 'to the worklngmcn's delight. | It will recite that evil days having j fcome, In which the manufacturer wrung profit from the tariff, those days must ?now depart. The purpose of protection! should be to protect the worktngman. this platform will declare, and that j purpose must now be resumed and ful? filled. Though the C<)lonel has repeat? edly approved the Payne-Aldrlch act, he'will right the Democrats with a de? mand for further revision downward. This revision will come on ajrticl->s par- i tictllarly In demand by lite working- , man. but. as the plank will set forth. Will be so delicately devised as not" to hurt 'he protection which the worki rs themselves require. j To Drop the ltecnll Issue, The Initiative, referendum, and re? call will not be heard from again In! th> campaign if the Colonel Is at Its head. Kven the recall of judicial de visions, which wns the opening blast of his claim for the party's leadership, will be laid aside as a -State Issue'' purely local, if ever he is nominated. I Those planks simply made a sound- 1 lng board for his cry for the nomina? tion, and If he gets tho nomination h ? will pick up other planks with ? which to slap the Democrats. Before the convention, through his | former Assistant Secretary of State. Je>hn Callan O'Loughltti, Colonel Roosevelt Issued a bid for the support' of delegated frf<m the South general? ly by promising a plank l"r the re? clamation of Southern swamp lands But the Colonel knows 1" ;t. r than ! any one that there are no electoral votes for Kim In the South nnd that 1 the bid that might help get negro delegates at Chicago will not hi Ip hirn. after nomination. In his race I" ? fore the country. That explains his; switch to the Mississippi Rlvci pro. Jtct. which may figure heavily in the. tlnal votes of doubtful valley Statt t ; like Missouri and Tennessee As to the initiative, referendum, re- I cull, and the recall of Judicial di Is Ions, somewhat the same thing was, true. Kven immediately following the Columbus speech the ColOnel seemed to realize he had gone too far. but It I -Wat, too lat' to ii tract then. But now I he plans, if h? gets the nomination, to make no more us<- Of these extremely radical Issues than he will of his de- i nnnieiatlon of Dorlmer, in Illinois, and! Penrose In Pennsylvania. He now bunch's them all as local Issues, and be w n drop them when he wants something more than local votes. Dikl the President's, Colonel Roose? velt s tariff plank will declare for a permanent Tariff Commission. But even in following thr President, the Colone,] will take a slap at him by de- | daring tty- permanent commission nere?eary to obviate the mistakes of the present temporary bouid. In addition' t" these thr.,'. planks, upon whli h tli< Colonel lays particular ???:?;??';.? t _In Front of Taft Ranks Chtirle? IJ. Hille?, on Ihr left, and William B.

It is still problematical vhetlter there will be any female suf 'rago plank or not. though the Col mei, after indorsing it In the primary tghts. is not eager for it. Senator Yorks, of California, favors the plank, is 'lo most of the Cal'fornlans, but its idoption or rejection will be a matter >f policy. troubles of Platform Malier?. The task of Incorporating the planks long with others into a platform has et tin Colonel's literary volunteers nto a frenzy of confusion.

The criticism has been as mple as the copy. ...r MunseVs ef ort on tho' tariff plan was greeted i'ith shouts of laughter by- his asso ?iatcs. and the Colonel himself, hough a serious man. seemed to be i .mused. It wns many words loni^. and, old nil about the origin of labor and I apltal. And It ended with a brief, cference to the tnriff that was not | it all wltat .was wanted. But Mr. { lunsey insists It would "ttvo gone In J lis magaKlne just the same. Among the Roosevelt people It is j n open secret that Jho platform in he end. supposing Mr. Roosevelt con? trols the convention, will be Just what . 10 wants It to be. But until the ques- , ion of control Mr. .Roosevelt' is giv ng l.ls lieutenants a f.'ee hand, con Ident they will come to him to de ?lde all their differences. With tne ilatform unwritten ot th.s late date, towever, It is certain that tho com nittee on resolutions will meet with, Silt a Roosevelt platform being before iL j IVItll the committee in his control., he Colonel will try still to preserve; he appearance of consultation with his subordinates, .tnd many of the | blanks, after being O.

June IS.?"I have not die- ] covered a cure for cancer, but I think 1 have got very near it," was the i startling announcement made yester- j day by Dr. F. W. Forbes Ross, whose alleged pain killing discovery was made public last Friday. "I am con? vinced that the cure wjien ? found will be very simple. As far as my Investi? gation has gone I have come to the conclusion that the cause of cancer has no connection with meat or vege? table diet, neither Is' it irritation of parts or a back infection. My theory is that cancer cells are really "Peter Pans' that will not grow old. If. we could make them grow old we could cure the disease, because we should stop the multiplication of cells and they would be absorbed. "What I claim to have discovered lo that cane.ir is nothing more no>r less than an exhaustion d a natural quol l'ty in a. bod/ possessed t>y epithelial cells consequent upon diminution In the body of pota*sium salts.

Chicago, June 18?Colonel John M. Keyea, delegate to the convention from Concord, Mass.. Is an exact double" of Theodore Roosevelt. Thoy really'look enough alike to be taken for twin broth-ens. Colonel Key es glories ' in the resemblance and dresses himself to fit tho part. Mo simulates' the Roosevelt smile, shows. his teeth. Wfars large eyeglasses, a light suit and u b|g light-colored sombrero. He also wears a soft turn-down collar, and has bought a necktie duplicating the one Colonel Roosevelt Is wearing here. * Needless to say. Colonel Heyes Is mobbed wherevor he goef. He. never! wilts, but waves at the crowds, shout? ing "Bully:" and "Great!'.' The ell-, max came yesterday afternoon, when Colonel Keyea attended the baseball game between the White Sox and the Boston Red Sox and camo near to' breaking up the game. The newspa-j i'r men covering the games flashed their respective papers that Colonel Roosevelt was at the park, and one .ifternoon publication had th* paper on the street before the mistake, was, discovered. Colonel Keyea occupied a box di? rectly behind the Boston players' bench. Almost as n>on aa he took his seat the crowd let out a roar and com? menced to yell "Teddy. Teddy." where? upon the Massachusetts r'olonel doffed' his sombrero and smiled and bowed. | There was a tremendous rush toward the box and Colonel Keyea began shaking hands right and left. Dele-1 gates wearing badges rushed : from their seats and visited Colonel Keyes'a box and shook bis hand. Some of the delegates last night were ? still under the Impresston tr)at Hu-y bad greet? ed the Rough Ride-r. At one particular brilliant play by the Beaton team Col? onel Keyea sprang up and shouted. "Bully, bully!" And the crowd roared back. "Bully. Teddy, buily!" When the game was over special police had to be called to assist Col ?onel Knycs In getting out of the park. His route down town ip a taxtcab waa lined by cheering crowds. The Mass? achusetts double of the Oyater Bay candidate was "gams," but his arm was sore from shaking hands when he reached the Congress Hotel.
