DEMOCRATIC STATE PLATFORM

We nal with satisfaction the nominal
ton of William Jennings Bryan and
Adlai +. Stevenson Tor the Presidency
and NicePresiderry of the United States
by the action Of the Democratic. Silver
Repul,lcar anI rr"3list parties OF the
United St&t"~
We reioi;.a t.s..l ,i.e nev Democracy Of
1897, which was the old Democracy of
Jefferson. and i ',.~"lv allied III faith
and pun, IL g.. Republicanisni OF
Lincoln. LAS aGain teen re-asserte1 in
1900. and that it is receiving the united
support Of the reTc'm forces. We de-
clare our belief that 10 reason now eN-
lists for the division Of the reform forces
into three indepe dent organizations,
and that unity of organization, as Of pur-
p'.se is the demand Of the hour.
We believe that 4 &. ;'Iicago and Kan
sas City platforms c"r,:r all that is need
ed in the enforcement OF our traditional
! principles Of government and all that is
! now attainable in the line of reform, and
should satisfy the reasonable exlecta-

triotism OF William Jennings Bryan, fill
! every requirement of leadership, and
that patriotic duty demands the perfect

all the parties now enlisted under his

National Platform - We endorse the
platform Of the National Democratic
party, adopted at Kansas City, and pledge
our support to all irs declarations. and
particularly those relating to the silver
and monetary question, and also inlr.-
rialism and the trust. the natural ~
1 spring Of the plutocratic policy of the
Republican party. which has increased
; in holiness and intensity since the de-
nonletization of silver in 1873, until now
in 1900, it has practically substituted fo1
the Declaration of Independence the
methods of imperialism in the Admins
tration of our national government
Silver Question-Wa hold that thu sill
yer question is still one Of tho ln,portan,
issues of this campaign, and that it will
never be permanently settled until oul
minis are opened to the free ard unlnit-
ed coinage of gold and silver at the ratio
OF sixteen to one, regardless of the con
sent of other nations. We congratulate
the supporters of Bryan and Stevenson
i'll Nevada that they are not subjected tt
the humiliating necessity of abrogatins
or modifying any plank in their nationa
platform for the accommodation of theil
congressional nominee. The platform a.
adopted at Kansas Ci:r, is bread enough
for our National and State candidates
: and contains not p "frd the eliminatiO.
, OF which would 4 aa iota of strength
to tie local nOn.l!:1es.
Trusts-We oppose the trusts and com
binations whici. control the products O
| industry and levy tribute upon the PEG
pie, and we denOnnre the Republican
= party which creates and fosters them
We especially Gcnounce the scheme O
the Republican Administration to Great
the greatest Of all mOnOplieS, in delega
ting to the NATIONAL banks the exclusiv
right t" make and issue the people
< money.
Our Flag-Wa condemn the cowarii
and incn'. s;Stent course of the Republ
\ can Administration, which plants on
t flag of freedom, defiantly in the faces c
i those struggling for liberty in the Phi
]. ipines, vet haIls it down from where
: has hororably and righfuily been for
third Of century. in tho Porcupine Mir
ing District Of Alaska.
