SOCIAL CONFERENCE ENDED.
Direct Legislation and Equal sur-
fr0ge PIanISa In the Platform

DETROIT, Mich, July 3.-The second
national social and political conference
today adopted the following platform:
we declare for direct legislation and
proportional representation; direct noml-
nation of candidates for Offices; equal suf-
frage for all, regardless Of sex or color;
honest election, free from all partisan
manipulation or control; direct taxation
through progressive land values, inherit
ance and income taxes; public ownership
OF public utilities; an eight-hour day;
sole control Of the medium of exchange
by the government; home rule; postal
savings banks; state insurance and work
mems compensation for Industrial in
1uries; opposition to mllitarism and con
quest and advocacy of peaceful arbitra-
ton; demand the same rights and liber-
ties for others as for ourselves"
In the preamble to the platform the
conference expressed it's condemnation OF
monopolies, the concentration OF wealth
and the present policy OF this govern
ment with regard to it's insular posses-
sions. One Of the features OF the morn
ing session was the withdrawal from the
conference of Prof w. c. Bohannon, OF
Chicago, because he was not permitted TO
talk on resolution after the previous
question had been moved.
After the adoption of the platform, the
Socialist element sought to introduce a
set OF resolutions, which provoked long
discussion and which was finally tabled.
Eltweed Pottery, of East Orange N.
j., was elected general chairman, and d.
J. Missolloff, general secretary. A deficit
of $500 in the treasury was made good nv
promises from Tom L. Johnson, Of Clevo-
land, and A. NJ. Nelson.
The convention then formally adjourned
