The platform reaffirms allegiance to
the Chicago platform Of 1896. It in
dorses the action Of congress in declar-
ing war against Spain; praises the
IN, 20,
our arms, and cOmmends them for OPP
posing the war revenue measures as
| unjust and discriminating. Upon the
question Of territorial acquisition the
platform says:
We favor the fullest investigation of all con-
ditions existing in the Philippine stands af-
fecting the interests and obligations of
country in the matter of their future treat
netdn and reaon to s END nd that
and based upon knowledge of all facts
that can affect the interests Of the United
States. While we do not favor an aggressive
policy of territorial expansion we are opposed
to the surrender to Spain Of any Of the terri
tory that has been acquired by American
valor and the expenditure Of our blood and
treasure. And we do not favor the surrender
to Spain Of the dominion of the people of any
Spanish colonies who co-operated with
against our enemies during the war. We
are unalterably opposed to the assumption
by this government Of any portion Of the
debt Of Spain incurred in maintaining her
sovereignty in Cuba and to the imposition
Of any portion thereof upon the people of that
island.
We denounce the persistent and long-con-
tinued efforts Of the present secretary of war
to prevent the improvement of the public
harbor Of San Pedro, and his persistent
efforts to divert the sums of money appro
priated by congress for that purpose to the
Improvement of the private harbor Of the
Southern Pacific company, at Santa Monica
Cal.
We favor the immediate extension of tho
contract labor law of the United States to
the Hawaiian Islands. and all further terri
tory that I'm. may hereafter her be annexed to the
ployment of convict labor In compositions with
free labor. and favor the passage of law
by the. congress of the United States con-
filming the sale of goods or merchandise manu-
featured by convict labor to the state or
territory in which they are produced.
Judge William Cont. Of Madeira
