BRYAN AND STEVENSON.

The Democratic ticket is Bryan and Steven

each of the nominees has a record. Bryan's

who was placed in the field Yesterday show that
he has run for Congress five times and been
elected rwice and that he was Vice President OF

efforts TO bedevil the Administration Of which
he was cOnstitutionaly n part. But these We're

DEMOCRACY AND THE PHILIPPINES.

The Kansas City platform condemns and de-
nounces the Philippine policy of the present
Administration and outlines Il Democratic
scheme for dealing with the new possessions
which gives a fair idea Of the standardization
and SpecouSneS> of the party's "anti-,mperial-
list" doctrines. The platform in one paragraph
says:
The Filipinos cannot be citizens without en-
dangering civilization; they cannot be sub
jects without imperilling form of govern
ment, ana as we are not willing 70 surrender
our civilization to convert the Republic into
an empire, we favor an immediate declaration
OF the Nations purpose to give 10 the FilpinOs
first, stable form of government; second. in
dependence. and third. protection from outside
interference such has been given for nearly
century to the republics Of Central and South
America.
In another paragraph this document of pre-
tended craftsmanship declares:
We hold that the Constitution follows the flag
and denOunce the doctrine that Executive or
Congress, deriving their existence and their
powers from the Constitution, can exercise law
full authority beyond it. in violation Of it.
If this last doctrine is true, how can the
Executive and Congress exercise any authority
10 give the Fipnos stable government or in
dependence. or protection. or anything else but
the rule which, citizens Of the United States
is their inalicnabe right under the Constitution
of the United StatpSI What does the DcmOc-
racy mean by saying that "the FilipinOs cannot
''be citizens without endangerng our civilian
ton, while proclaming that all territory of the
United States is under the Constitution with its
inhabitants on the road to State governmentf
The party protests that IT is moral outrage
and a legal usurpation to have withheld citizen
ship and full constitutional rights from a Porto
Rican for an instant after the ratification of
the treaty Of annexation. Yet il turns squarely
around and says that a Filipino, who holds
exactly the same legal relation to the Govern
ment as the Porto Rican cannot he n citizen
If this is all its proclamation THE Constitution
follows the flag" means. it is only an empty
phrase for the delusiOn Of fools.
The Democrats say II is 'imperialism' to
rule territory outside the Constitution yet that
is Just what they propose I'm the Philippines
We nre not to admit them to our Union. but
give them "a stable form OF government" and
then set them adrft under protection.
That Is the essence OF Imperialism. We cannot
set up or help the Filipinos to set up an inde-
pendent government without getting beyond
our Constitution. There is no warrant for
protectOrntcs in the Constitution. any step

are not such that their performance is utterly

coinage plank and at least one other of the
