me chicago platform simply reite-
rates those fundamental principles on
which our form of government must
rest. The keynote of the Chicago plat
form is in the Declaration of Inde-
pendence that all men are created equal

pirate to itself the blessings which the
creator intended for all the p.ople OF
this country; (cheers) that laws shall
not be made so that the many shall toll
and the few shall enjoy the fruits OF the
toll for many; that every man shall be
defended in the enjoyment OF that which
he earns, and that no man shall be per-
mEted to acquire what somebody else
has earned and which has been taken
from his by vicious legislation. The
reason they use abusive epithets and
apply hard names to those who support
that platform Is because they know that
the platform is menace to the wrong.
