The Democracy of Iowa, in convention
assembled, approves and reaffirms the ma
tional Democratic platform adopted at
Kansas City on the fifth day of July, 1900.
We extend greetings to those distin-
guished and patriotic Americans, w. j
Bryan and Adlai E. Stevenson, and pledge
them our loyal support in the impending
contest for the preservation of the republic
AS a phase of the trust question bearing
| disastrously on manufacturing interests
i in Iowa and other agricultural states, we
| point to the fact that the combination OF
manufacturing trusts and railway trust;
has resulted in closing many such factor
les. Many plants in Iowa now stand idle
| because they have either been driven ou
of business by unfair competition or have
been bought by trusts and closed down
We demand the enactment and enforce
ment of stringent laws, both state and ma
tional to control all trusts. We depre
cate the growing power and influence O
the railways in state politics and the sub
serviency of the executive council, th'
railroad commission and even the cover
ner himself to railway dictation. We de
mand that railway rates and taxation, q
we'll as legislation affecting railways
shall be fixed for the benefit of the who'll
people without improper interference
from t-e special interests involved
We condemn the subterfuge of th
mulct and pharmacy act by which the Re
publican party has returned the saloon tt
Iowa while still maintaining the farce oil
prohibition The Democratic party be
lieves in majority rule and favors an hon
est and open policy of local control. will
stringent regulations.
We censurr the Republican party TO
passing an anti-fusion law and constantl
changing other election laws with view
to confuse voters and defeat the will o
the electorate.
We earnestly urge all citizens who Low
liberty and oppose Imperialism and tn
imperialistic party of the Republica
party to rally to the support of our stand
ard bearers in this presidential campaign
