PhiIadelphians may be slow in some
things, but they seem to be just the
opposite in the matter of paying poll taxes
and voting. 1t appears that, as matter
of fact, there are in the neighborhood OF
700 ''citizens" of that interesting city,
who, Notwithstanding they are dead and
buried, continue to take an active inter-
est in public effairs. paying the poll tax
and voting with even more regularity and
cheerfulness than many of those who are
in the flesh. The means by which these
disembodied patriots are enabled to per-
form their public duties is found in the
tax laws, which provide that citizen
may request that his poll tax be paid.
Certain political organizations, it is said,
keep a tally sheet of the dead men, pay
their poll taxes and deposit votes for them
through substitutes.

DOMINANT DELooRATIC PLANKs
Other Measures in the Lengthy Plat
form IA Adopted by the Kansas
City Convention.

The platform as Ii was adopted by
the convention is given In all It's es-
sential parts in the following:
"We, the representatives of the
Democratic party Of the United States,
assembled in national convention on
the anniversary of the adoption of the
Declaration of Independence. do reaf-
firm our faith in that immortal procla-
nation of the inallenable rights OF
man, and our allegiance To the con-
stitutiOn framed in harmony herewith
by the fathers OF the republic. We
hold with the United States supreme
court that the declaration oNindepen-
dence is the spirit of our government.
of which the constitution Is the form
and letter. We declare again that all
governments instituted among men de-
rive their just powers from the con-
sent of the governed: that any govern
ment not based upon the consent OF
the governed is a typranny, and that
to impose upon any people govern
ment OF force is to substitute the
methods of imperialism for those of a
republic.

lows the flag, and denounce the doc
trine that an executive or congress,
deriving their existence and their pow
ers from the constitution. can exercise
lawful authority beyond it. or In viola
ton Of il. We assert that no nation
can long endure half republic and half
empire. and we warn the American
people that Imperialism abroad will

Therefore. the platform denounces

clared to be a Republican attempt TO

ciples The prompt fulhllment of our
pledge to the Cubans is demanded
next, with a reference to Neely's OPP
