sues demanding reform in taxation
laws, repeal of the Mulct liquor law,
and enactment of local option law.
The chief contest in the convention
was on the adoption of the platform.
The struggle began in the district eau
Gus held before the convention assem-
bled in the morning. The anti silver
forces succeeded in naming a majority
of the committee on resolutions. There
was a prOtracted session of this COM
mittee, and in the afternoon a majority
and two minority reports were submit
ted to the convention.
The majority report ignored national
issues entirely. confirming itself ex-
clusively to state matters. The first
minority report agreed with the ma
jority report, except in preamble,
which reaff1rmed the Kansas City plat
form. The second minority report diff
fered from each of the others in its
preamble only, which set out that state
issues were paramount in this cam
paign. The minority report reaffirm-
ing the Kansas City platform was
adopted on the call of roll by counties.
amid much confusion. by $685. to 55015.
Following is the text of the platform.
The Platform.
we. the Democrats of Iowa. in con-
ventiOn assembled. hereby reaffirm the
principles of the Democratic platform
adopted at Kansas City in 1900. and
without surrendering our convictions
or abating our loyalty to our national
politics we believe this campaign to be
particularly one that should be con-
fined to state issues.
Resolved. That the fundamental
principle of Democracy. equal rights
to all and special privileges TO none
applies to the subject of taxation. The
Democratic party believes that the
burden of taxation should be borne
equally by all taxable property sub
ject to the jurisdiction of the state.
we pledge our members of the leg
islature to formulate and urge the
adoption Of such a law as viii compel
the burdens of taxation to rest on cor
porate and individual property alike.
without favors or exemption of any
interests.
We demand economy in the admin
istFation Of state affairs, the repeal of
mulct laws, the enactment of a local
option law, the abolition of the offices
of state printer and state binder and
the contracting for supplies for the
state with the lowest responsible bid
der.
we cordially invite all honest men
of the state to unite with US in secur-
ing the enactment of these principles
into law
