shall be no retreat from the position taken
by the Democratic party in 1896 The
! Chlcago plaIorm applied JefersOnian
principles 10 the questions then
DeIoIe the country. Every plank
IN mat platform was

re taken from 1t without injury to the par

in the adoption of the Chicago platform are

The President, through his Attorney
General can enforce the law now in eX-

recommend laws which are sufficient If
