Platform the One the Times Printed Shapes La Follette Policies
Special to The New York Times. Chicago June 18. The Republican platform adopted word for word after brief changes, preserving the administration line while yielding some planks to allies. Five new planks added on New Mexico and Arizona statehood, Porto Rico natives, foreign trade, a bureau of mines and milling, and Lincoln birthday centennial. Cooper of Wisconsin led a minority push for La Follette reforms including tariff revision and direct election of senators, but the convention voted to reject the minority platform and uphold the printed text.
