White House debate over party platform and Taft rumor
The discussion centered on preserving the plank in the platform with tentative agreement. A circulating rumor claimed Taft might, if nominated, state his own views in a speech, but no authoritative source confirmed this. Taft stayed briefly with the President and returned to the War Department as Loeb said the convention needed to blow off steam.

Opposition to anti injunction plank by lumber men
The National Lumber Manufacturers' Association in Minneapolis protested against adding an anti injunction plank to the Republican platform. The group telegraphed the resolutions committee in Chicago urging opposition, and urged members to contact Frank B Kellogg. The resolution asserts the plank would insult the intelligence of the people and threaten court integrity and property protection. The association represents all chamber manufacturers from Atlantic to Pacific and Canada to the Gulf.
