The democrats of Missouri, in
state convention assembled, heartily
indorse the platform adopted by the
national democratic convention
which assembled at Chicago on July
7, and the nomination of William J.
Bryan and Arthur Sewall for presi-
dent and vice-president of the United
States. We believe the platform to
be an honest and explicit declara-
ton of fundamental democratic prin
ciples, and that the election of the
candidates standing upon it will re-
store the country's prosperity and
bring relief to a suffering people.
