The Platform.
Resolved, That the Democracy Of Kansas
In convention assembled, hereby indorses
the declaration of principles announced by
the Democratic national convention at Chi
cngo on the 22d Of June, 1902, and cordially
approve of the nomination Of Grover Clcve-
land of New York, and Adlai Stevenson
of Illinois, for president and vice
president of the United States, believing
that the principles announced in
the platform adopted by that convention,
and the public and private records Of
Cleveland and Stevenson give an assurance
to this people of stable and honest govern
ment in the interest of the masses of the
people as against classes, and that their
election will make this government in truth
ana in fact what Henry Clay called the
fairest form of human government that
ever rose to animate the hopes OF civilized
! man."
Resolved, That, whereas, the amendment
| OF our organic law is the most important
matter before tho people OF this state and
whereas, the legislature Of S9l submitted
to the electors of the state a resolution
recommending the calling Of convention
TO revise, amend or change tho constitution
of the state of Kansas; and whereas, The
late Republican state convention claiming
to represent majority Of the electors
Of this commonwealth, was toe
cowardly to express even an opinion as u
how the electors should vote on this ques
ton, we denounco such cOwardly act us I'm
worthy of any political party which ha
an opinion at all upon the political welfare
OF the people of this state, and we demand
and advocate the calling Of such conven
ton to the end that the people of the stat
shall have an opportunity to amend thei
organic law so as to make it adequate t
the necessities of our great and growing
state
Resolved, That we denounce as frau
and a palpablo lie tho resolution OF tn
state Republican convention that the Re
publican party is the party of law and OF
DER and that when it says "it demand
tho vigorous and manly enforcement c
every provision of the constitution an
every law on tho statute book, includin
those for the enforcement Of the prohlb
tory amendment" every intelligent vote
I'm the state knows that this declaration
not true, and is but sop thrown in ba
faith by the Republican party to the Pr
hibiton party of the state
Resolved, That in our Judgment the pr
hibitOry amendment and the laws pNssC
in pursuance thereof have not reduced u
} evils Of intemperauce, but have been II
} fruitful source of perjury, bribery and i
4 | % form, khia QtitutiOp
amendment and the laws passed to carr
the Same into effect, should be repealed al
1 q reasonable license law b. substituted
{ their stead.
