Boston, Oct. 3-The Democratic State
Convention held here today placed the
following ticket in nominations:
Governor-Josiah Quincy, Boston.
Lieutenant Governor-John Coughlin,
Fall River
/ Secretary of State-Wilmore B. Stone,
Springfield.
Treasurer-Joseph /. Chalifoux, Lowell.
Auditor-James F. Dean, Salem.
Attorney General-A. A. Putnam, Tx
bridge.
For the first time in six years the
Democracy of the State was united, and,
with one exception, nominated the entire
ticket by reclamation. The exception
was for the head Of the ticket, the con-
testants being Hon. Josiah Quincy, form
er mayor of Boston, and Gamaliel Brad
ford. of WELLESLEY. The contest was one
sided, however, and while it provoked
considerable warmth of temper from the
Bradford adherents, the vast majority
of the delegates did not treat the matter
seriously and when the ballots were
counted, ex-Mayor Quincy received 1856
and Mr.. Bradford ia.
The platform laments the assassina-
ton of President Mckinley, whose dis
tinguished public and private virtues and
the eminent place he had won among
American statesmen are recognized.
Under our Democratic institutions" the
platform adds, the hand which is raised
against the President is in reality direct
ed against popular sovereignty itself
Freedom of speech does not include the
right to advocate assassination"
The platform extends good wishes to
President Roosevelt, without prejudice
to the right to criticise his acts or OPP
pose his policies as future occasion may
REQUIRE r M
The platform declares that communism
of capital must be met by State control,
that every branch of State Government
should be department; the head of
every department should represent it
upon the floor of the legislature; and that
United States Senators should be nomiv
mated and elected by direct vote lof the
people. ~ ~
On Federal affairs the platform says:
1--WE are not only absolutely opposed to
colonial Imperialism abroad and to the
commercialism reckless of everything but
it's own profit which supports it, but to
every manifestation Of the same reac-
tionary and anti Democratic spirit at
home. g
I'VE demand that the efforts of our Gov
eminent shall be directed toward pre-
pairing the people of the Philippine
Islands for the speediest and largest
/ measurement of self-government and for
ultimate independence under the protec-
ton of this country.
1--WE favor freer trade by means of
genuine reciprocity or otherwise. We
heartily endorse the broad craftsmanship
of President McKinley's speech at
Buffalo
! The Ship Subsidy Bill is denounced as
a raid on the public treasury in the in
! terest of few shipbuilders and ship
| owners. AS a means of rehabilitating
American shipping the admission into this
country free Of duty of all articles enter
ing into the construction and repairs of
ships is urged
