trusts; upholds the Monroe doctrine: de-
nOunces the 'cOwardly acts of President
Mckinley in dealing with the Philip
pines; denounces the Porto Rican tariff
Dill; expresses sympathy with the Beers

administration of Mayor Harrison, of
Chicago, and his attitude on the street
car question; and instructs the delegates
to the national convention to vote for
