cept the judicial, over to the Democratic

to admit that it was wrong il the new
Congress and administration can carry
out the platform adopted by the last
national convention OF the Democratic
party without causing serious shock to
the commercial and industrial interests
Of the country. But it is already appar-
emit that the pledges of the Democratic
platform will not be carried out. certain
ly not the one relating to the tariff.
