There We're no other candidates for
| the positions and the nominations were
| received with hearty applause. The
platform adopted says:
| "We citizens Of the United States Of
America assembled for the purpose Of
defending the wise and conservative
principles which underlie our govern
poses:
I'VE find our country threatened with
alternative perils. On the one hand Is
a public opinion mised by organized
forces of commercialism that have per-
verted war intended by the people to
be a war of humanity into war Of
conquest. On the other is a public
opinion swayed by demagogic appeals
to factional and class passions, the most
fatal of diseases to republic. We
believe that either of these influences,
If unchecked, would ultimately compass
the downfall of our country, but we
also believe that neither represents the
sober conviction of our countrymen.
Convinced that the extension of the
jurisdiction of the United States for the
purpose of holding foreign people as
colonial dependencies is an innovation
dangerous to our liberties and repug
nant to the principles upon which our
government is founded, we pledge our
earnest efforts, through all constitution
al means:
"Frst-To procure the renunciation
of all imperial or colonial pretensions
with regard to foreign countries claim
ed to have been acquired through or in
consequence of military or naval prep
arations of the last two years.
"Second-We further pledge our eff
forts3 to secure a single gold standard.
and sound banking system.
"Third--To secure a public service
based on merit only.
"Fourth--To secure the abolition of
all corrupting special privileges, wheth-
er under the guise of subsidies, boun-
ties, undeserved pensions or trust
breeding tariffs"
