party as enunciated by its founders, and
as expressed by the platform adopted By
the last national convention in Chicago
1--WE express continued confidence and
admiration for our matchless leader. who
| undaunted by defeat continues to battle
for the rights Of liberty and of a FIRE:
people. and who wage a continuous and
aggressive warfare on trusts, monopo
lies. corporate greed and the un-Americar
| policy of imperialism and concentration
of power as exemplified and practiced by
the Republican pary-the Hon. w. j
Bryan-the tribune of the people and the
noblest Roman OF them all.
Eve believe that protective tariff sys-
tenn with duties so high as to prohibit
| competition from abroad is but an invi-
| tation for manufacturers at home to form
trusts and combines and we believe that
the present capitalization of billions OF
dollars, whereby the people are robbed
and almost every article that enters into
the everyday consumption made higher,
Is the legitimate fruit of a Republican
| tariff and we declare our unalterabIe op-
position to both trusts and tariff.
1.-The Democratic party being a party
of the people, we favor all laws looking
to the enlargement Of the rights of the
people, thus keeping, as far as possible,
the powers of self government among
themselves. and we especially favor the
election, of federal senators by a direct
vote of the people.
I'VE favor the public ownership of pub
lie utilities or control thereof, believing
that the wealth created by the people.
should be for the benefit OF the whole peo-
pie, rather than for the private benefit
OF the few.
I'VE are opposed to the granting of
franchises without carefully safeguard
Ing the rights of the people and believe
that before such franchises are granted
they should be put up and sold to the
highest responsible bidder
I'VE are proud of the record our brave
soldiers have made in the war with
Spain and congratulate our party and the
country on the successful outcome of the
conflict for humanity sake. We especi-
ally congratulate the Kansas soldiers
who have so magnIficently distinguished
themselves in the Philippine war. but at
the same time we condemn the admins
tration for the course it has pursued In
the Philippine islands, and demand that
the army be withdrawn therefrom as soon
as compatible with honor and good gov
eminent"
