"The demand OF the platform that Of
fcials appointed TO administer the gov
ernment Of the Territories. the District
OF Columbia. and Alaska should be bona
nde residents OF the Territories. and Of

the Democratic theory OF home rule. l
am also heartily in sympathy with the
declaration that all public lands should
be reserved for the establishment Of

WATERWAYS.
"The policy Of improving the great
waterways OF the country IS justified by
the national character OF these water

upon them. Experience has dcmonsrat-

GREED AGAINST HUMANITY.
tremendous results will follow the ac-
