REPUBLICANS PLAN
BRIEF PLATFORM
Mr. Hilles Says T. R. May Run
as Moose Nominee if Con
vention Doesn't Suit.
LONG SESSION PREDICTED
Elinor That Effort Will Be Mafle to
Force Through Choice of Candi
date for President On the
First Day Is Denied.
CHICAGO, May 2S. Chairman
Charles D. Hilles, of the Republican
Kational Committee, today expressed
the opinion that the platform which
will be adopted by the National con
vention next month will be unusually
brief and will deal only with the most
vital public questions. From informa
tion obtained m taiKing wnu i"'
leaders on the subject, he believes the
principal planks in the platform will
include the following: j
A statement on Americanism.
A statement on preparedness for
adequate military and naval defense.
A declaration in favor of a protec
tive tariff to be prepared by a non
partisan tariff commission created by
Congress, with special attention to the
needs of the industries of this coun
try after the close of the European
war.
A declaration in favor of a merchant
marine.
A statement dealing with the alleged
shortcomings of the Democratic na
tional administration.
Action on Suffrage Problematical.
On the question of national woman
suffrage. Chairman Hilles said there
' was a difference of opinion among the
party leaders, and he did not know
what action the convention would take
on the subject.
In speaking of the probable action
of the Progressive National Convention
called to be held June 7 in Chicago,
simultaneously with the Republican
National committee, Chairman Hilles
said:
"I imagine everybody assumes that
the 'Progressives will nominate Roose
velt for President. If the Republican
convention adopts a straightforward,
sincere, ringing declaration on the vital
public questions now being discussed.
and nominates a man clearly equal to
the important tasks which will con
front the next President, Roosevelt
might not think there would be any
need of'his entering the field. But if
the Republicans nominate a man whom
Mr. Roosevelt thinks Is a misfortune
and adopt a platform which he regards
as 'bunk," he may feel so outraged as
to run and perhaps help re-elect -resi-dent
Wilson."
Rush Tactic Not Planned.
Chairman Hilles denied a report that
the organization had ever thought of
attempting to force the nomination of
a candidate for President the first day
of the convention.
"Such a plan has never evn bten
disrupted by members of the National
committee and even If it were it would
be impossible," he said. "The conven
tion v111 follow precedent. It will meet
at 11 A. M. Wednesday, June 7, listen
to the address of the temporary chair
man, appoint the committees and ad
journ. The second day will be devoted
to permanent organization and consid
eration of committee reports, which, of
course, will include the adoption of the
party platform. The third day will be
devoted to the nominating speeche.-.
T here is a disposition to place no time
limit on the nominating speeches.
"After that will come the balloting
for President and Vice-President, and
nobody knows how long it will take to
get through. We nope to get inrougn
Saturday, but if there is a deadlock
the convention may go over to Aion
day."
Chairman Hilles appointed Frank A,
Smith, of Pennsylvania, as chief as
sistant secretary of the convention and
named, among others, the following as
assistant secretaries:
Charles A. Rawson. of Iowa.
Edward D. Baldwin, of Oregon.
' Frank -A. Hazel Baker, of Montana.

Mechanic Declare He Can Keep Aero
plane Suspended Motionless and
Prevent Accidents.
MARSHFIELD. Or.. May 28. (Spe
cial.) Mechanics who know of J. A.
White's trip to San Francisco to nego
tiate with the British Consul there are
under the belief the United States Gov
ernment, in its self-satisfied security,
nas overlooked an opportunitv of ob
taining- an invention that will revolu-1
tionize aviation to a great extent. Mr.
wnite, who is a mechanic at the C. A.
bmlth mill, says he has invented at
tachments for aeroplanes which will
hold a machine suspended, without mo
tion, at any altitude: send a Diane into
the air perpendicularly without a
"running start." and prevent accidents I
when engine trouble halts the pro
pellers when flying. The inventions, it
is asserted, will assist an aviator in
reaching the earth when his motor
stops, without the usual danger from
suaaeniy dropping.
Mr. White goes even farther and savs I
he can reduce the weight of aeroplane
motors materially. I
Mr. White wrote to the Ameripun
Navy Department and, after waiting a
reasonaDie time, wrote again. He re
ceived no answer to either letter, and
so, on advice of a friend, addressed the
isritish Consul at San Francisco. Sev
eral letters passed between the in
ventor and Consul, and Mr. White sud
denly packed his grip and started for
San Francisco, confiding to his friends
mat he was going to California to
negotiate for a sale to the British gov-
ernraent.

What lusty, life-loving boy or girl ever grew up who
didn't say it hundreds of times? And swell with pride
when he or she was in the right
And what parent ever lived who didn't glory in such
youngsters; when they knew they knew?
Arthur Brisbane, the high
est paid editor in the world,
with a salary of $84,000 a
year, says:
"It is really a misfortune for
a family of children to grow
up without the Britannica.
"The reading of everyserious
book should be done with the
Britannica at hand. To de
velop that habit in children
would be of the highest pos
sible value to them."
Griffith Ogden Ellis, editor
of The American Boy, writes":
"The Britannica plays a large
and active part in our edi
torial reference library, for
every year thousands of our
boys ask us for information
that the Britannica, if in their
homes, would furnish them
immediately while their in
terest is at fever heat and,
of course, more fully than we
can give it to them by letter."
Edward Bok, the editor of
The Ladies' Home Journal, the
most important woman's paper
published, writes - concerning
the "Handy Volume" Issue:
"No one knows until he has
possessed a copy of this work
how often one refers to it
and how large a place it takes
In one's reading and refer
ence, and I am delighted to
think that this work is now
within the reach of thousands
of people to whom its pos
session has up to this time
been a dream."
What a handicap not to give every child your child
a chance to know!
In after years, what will they say to you, think of
you, if you don't?
You may not be able to send them to college ; but you
can give them the new Encyclopaedia Britannica.

What Will Be Your Answer)
When Your Children Ask :
Dr. Charles W. Eliot, pres
ident of Harvard University
from 1869 to 1909, bought two
sets of the new Britannica as
soon as it came out. He wrote
as follows:
"I bought two copies for the
benefit of my two sets of
grandchildren. I find the
work altogether admirable
and my grandchildren, who
are at the most inquisitive
ages.are of the same opinion."
Dr. S. C Mitchell, president
of the College of Delaware,
writes: '
"I do not know of a single
benefit to a home comparable
to this great set of books
a library within itself, com
pact and utilizable instantly.
No gift that a father can con
fer upon his children can be
compared to the value of
these books in the home."
Miss Ellen C Lombard, of
the U. S. Bureau of Education,
writes as follows :
"I am referring readers con
stantly to the Britannica in
connection with the Reading
Courses recently issued by
the Bureau. For the home
study of children and for .
general information, it is an
encyclopaedia of unquestion
able merit. Every home in
the United States should be
provided with this complete
guide."

Why Didn't We Have The Brfiannica?"
You can't say you didn't know about the most famous
book of reference in the world;
a library that the best informed, the most highly educated and the most
conspicuously successful people in every line of work use daily ; a set of
books that no library or university of any consequence would try to do
without. j
You can't plead ignorance of a book that has been
famous for a century and a half,
gathering authority and prestige with each of its eleven editions. You
can't overlook a book so valuable that many people have echoed the words
of Hon. Joseph Choate, "If I could have but one book, it would be the
Britannica."
You can't say you can't afford The Encyclopaedia
Britannica now that you can buy it for S1.00 down and
$3.00 a month for a few months.
Even when it cost three times as much as it does today, it was the best
investment any family could make. For the Britannica is not an expense
item, but a safe and profitable investment that pays steady dividends in
increased power and opportunity.
You can't imagine that your children aren't capable of
enjoying the Britannica
Perhaps you think your children are too young to enjoy the Britannica or
that there is nothing in it to amuse and instruct children. The Britannica
is exactly the book to interest an active-minded child, for it contains the
answers to the innumerable questions that suggest themselves to his sharp
eyes and ears. The more questions the childasks the more proof it gives
of its intelligence. It is your duty to answer these questions or show your
boy where to find the answers. Wouldn't it be a relief to you to be able to put
your hand upon the answer to every puzzling question your child propounds?
Wouldn't you be glad to have your children self-reliant
and able to hunt up the answers to such questions as
What makes it rain ? What is the difference between a mushroom and a
toadstool ? How fast can a starfish crawl ? Where does the dew come
from? Where do corals get the material with which they build islands?
Was there ever such a thing as a dodo? What is the biggest animal that
ever lived on the earth? How deep can a diver work? How are light
houses built ? What is the advantage of automatic pistols over revolvers ?
What caused the Sahara Desert? Where did the hills come from?
(Kou will find answers to these questions in the
took we send frem of charge. See coupon.)
A Wonderful Bargain Soon Closed.
So long as the new Eleventh Edition of the Encyclopaedia Britannica was to
be had only in the expensive Cambridge University issue there was ample ex
cuse why many homes should go without it. Now there is none.
We offer the new "Handy Volume" Issue now at one-third the price charged
for the Cambridge University issue and we send you the complete work, the en
tire 29 volumes, upon the receipt of a single dollar the balance in small monthly
payments. But this is not all. We knew there would be a great number of
people who could not believe that we could offer the complete new Eleventh
Edition at such a price and on such terms. There waa onlyone way really to
convince them. That was for them to see the books. Therefore we make
this offer :
We send you the books when you have paid a single dollar and you may
then keep them three weeks, use them freely, examine them and find out their
worth to,you. Then if, for any reason whatsoever, you do not wish to keep
them, you may send them back, and without any questions we will refund the
dollar you have paid and shipping charges both ways as well.
But you must take advantage of this offer now if you wish to obtain this new
"Handy Volume" Issue on these prices and terms.
The war has brought a'great scarcity into many lines of trade and forced
prices to prohibitive figures.
The publishers now notify us that they cannot supply us with any more sets
at these prices after those which we have contracted for are delivered. There is
just time to send for our handsomely illustrated books about the new Britannica
and our new issue. We advise you to send your name without fail today.
