ton OF the day They were first adopted in 1910, re.
adopted in 1914, and now sanctioned by
the delegated democracy of the late Baltimate Conyen-
ton 1t was the platform which James X Polk placed
himself and which he, efaithful 10 its fires )" has
zealousy and theoretically carried outtrue all his
principles and true to all his pledges These principles
will again be adopted by the republican party of the
