REPRESENTATIVE BARTLETT.
Three Issues for the Next Democrati,
Convention,


Three Issues for the Next Democratic
Convention.
Representative Bartlett of Georgia is in
Washington today en- route to Saratoga to
fully recuperate from his long illness of
last winter and spring, when ne was con-
fined to his bed here for about three
months He looks almost in his usual
health now, but deems a trip to some of
the northern resorts advisable for q thor
ough restoration.
Judge Bartlett is inclined to believe that
the platform of the next democratic ma
tional convention should present three
prominent issues. In the first place, it
should favor the extension of a constitu-
tional government to all portions Of the
United States, or, he added. ito all places
subject thereto In deciding the insular
cases the Supreme Court, he said, made a
judicial amendment to the Constitution,
and since by this judicial legislation Con-
gress has the power to extend constitution
al provisions to acquired territory, 1t is
the duty Of Congress to see to 1t that there
is a constitutional government wherever
the flag floats. In the second place, there
should be revision of the high protective
tariff. which has builtzup gigantic trusts,
and thirdly there should be aegislat ton de-
signed to overthrow these combinations.
Il believe" he added. that the plat
form should be brief and to the point,
striking vigorously at the most important
issues I see no reason. for abandoning any
positions that the democratic party has
taken heretofore. / believe they are right
At the same time there are some very inn
portant new questions that must be met,
and there are others that will continually
arise, which should not be anticipated In
the platform.
TT will be time to meet them after they
confront the country Those democrats
that have deserted ther party will not be
permitted to dictate either the platform or
the presidential candidate. am not in
favor Of abandoning anythirg, nor should
there be abuse for ANY one. think the
democratic party Is surely getting closer
together than for some time past, and all
the elements will present solid front"

if he does escape, reward of 1925 is
to be offered for his capture, and that
when he is captured the s25 and all
expenses incurred in his capture must
be worked out by him. The employer
