had been done by & hall storm In the

Canada, and that there had also been
heavy frost In those and other sections
of the country which produce "large
quantities of apples. This Indicates,
he said, that the crop will not be as
large as expected, and that Virginia

did In 1911. Present indications are

PLATFORM DRAFTS
HAVE BEEN DRAWN
j Chicago, June 16.?Both the Taft
12nd Roosevelt drafts tor a platform
I have been outlined, and both can be
' put in shape for submission to the
committee on resolutions on very short
i notice.
.Most of the work on the Roosevelt
J declarations was completed prior to
Mr. Roosevelt's arrival in Chicago,
I while the first formal meeting over
the Taft pronouncement was held to
|day.
I The Roosevelt pronouncement is the
result of labors of many of his friends,
but principally of his former Secretary
I Of the Interior, Jamea A. Qarfteld. Gif
i ford Pinchot and William Allen
\V hlte, of Kansas.
' All tho plans have undergone the
inspection of Colonel Roosevelt him
ttlf, and while he has not passed on
them finally, he has indicated his for?
mal approval of most ot them.
At to-day's meeting of Mr. Taft's
friends several drafts were presented,
and tlie meeting was largely to select
from tho material presented. The ap?
proved 'blanks will be joined together j
und another meeting held prior to sub- '
mission of the paper to the resolutions !
committee.
To-day's conference was attended by j
Kenator Crane, President Taft's sec-!
retary. Charles D. Hilles; Represen- j
tatlve McKinley, President Taft's cam- [
palgn manager; former Vlce-PrcBident
Fairbanks, who probably will be
chairman of the platform committee; I
Senator Klihu Root, Charles Hopkins j
Clark, of Connecticut; Professor
Nicholas Murray Butler and William
Barnes, Jr., of New York.
I Necessarily, the two documents i
cover tho tome ground, but there is |
vvide divergence in tho recommenda?
tions.
j The tariff receives a prominent
place in both, und both Indorse the
principle ot a tariff commission. Tho
friends of Mr. Roosevelt, nowVver. go
. to some pains to make it appear ttiat
tho present Tariff Board does not come
up to requirements. They would have
the commission determine not only
the cost of the production of manu?
factured articles, but would have it;
! undertake to ascertain the share of]
protits going to labor,
j Tho Tuft adherents declare for fur-|
; ther revision, but would, have 'It wait i
I upon the Investigations of tlv Tariff j
Board. They condnmn the present ef-'
' forts of the Democratic House of Rep- \
I i-esentallvos to change this tariff a.t i
i unwise and unscientific, declaring its j
result Is an unnecessary disturbance 1
j of business along undesirable lines :
No decision has been reactied as to
whether there shall bo nn explicit j
i declaration for a rut in tariff rates, .
j hut the Indications are that there'
will bo such a declaration regarding
I articles found by the Tariff Board t<i!
bo subject to unnecessarily high du- |
ties.
Thero will be no announcement on i
reciprocity.
Tharo will be several announcements!
on curbing monopolies. The Taft people,
favor the retention of the- fcherman i
| antitrust law, but would build on It j
so as to define Its operations and at
the same time give the general public
the benefit of its protecting effect. Tho
Rooseveltlans will treat tho subject'
along somewhat different lines, eepe-i
daily emphnslr.lng the necessity of reg?
ulating the operations of largo corpo?
rations.
The Roosevelt people will press well
to the front the subject ot popular gov?
ernment, declaring in favor, of &)l the
Instruments tending- In that direction,
whether primary elections, election of
United States Senators by direct vote,
the Initiative, referendum and recall.
The fact will be recognized, however,
that many of these agencies can be
employed only In the government of the
States, and In such cases the platform
will specially refer them to the various
communities for lucal determination.
A female suffrage plank Is one of
the new features of tiie Roosevelt
declaration. The Initiative and refer?
endum will not be touched upon by
the Taft document, but the recull will
bo flatly denounced us calculated to
undermine the stability of govern?
ment. A special declaration will be
made for the protection of the Judi?
ciary and the maintenance of order
and the enforcement of law.
The principle of a central bank'ng
reserve will be supported by the Talti
resolutions, but tho Aldrlch bill will)
not be referred to by name. The |
Roosevelt declaration will mention the:
Aldrlch plan, but to condemn it. Both;
documents will declare for the con-1
servallon of the natural resources of!
the country, but the Roosevelt pro- j
nouncement. which Is understood to I
have been prepared by Mr. Pinehot, I
will be much tho more sweeping in
its demands. Both pronouncements fa?
vor a strong navy. Tho Improvement
of the Mlssissli pi River on a compar?
ative scale will be. advocated In the
Roosevelt paper.
The platform prepared by President
Taft's friends commends his adminis?
tration in high torms; the Roosevelt
paper Is silent on that subject. The
Taft document will be brief !f tjiel
advice of the men ft to-day's meeting1
Is heeded. They take the position that]
only the cssent'als should bo present-!
ed. The Roosevelt document will be1
longer and more specific.
