resentatives from each ward and each

should have a member. This was car
ried.
Mayor Fitzgerald moved that each dele
cation from every ward and town be
allowed TO select q member of the state
central committee. This was objected TO
by Mr.. Quinn on the ground that some
towns wanted to choose the committee
man in caucus. Mayor Fitzgerald cx-
plained his reason as that sometimes
there is a dispute. and the majority had
rot always ruled. On request OF Mr.
Quinn the mayor amended his motion 10
epply only 10 committees and In this form

from every part OF his district The
nomination was seconded and approved
by scclamation. committee OF three
was appointed to notify him OF his nomin-
alton.
A committee OF FIVE to draw up a plat
form presented the following, which
Chairman Greene read.
THE PLATFORM
In accordance with an agreement reach
ed at the meeting OF the executive COM
mittee OF the state central committee,
held at the hall before the state conven-
ion, the state platform was confined 10
state issues, leaving all national issues
TO be taken up by the congressional con-
vention. Because OF this compromise by
which the expected contest over platform
between the Garvin and Fitzgerald men
was averted the platform OF the congress
sional convention dealt almost wholly
with national issues, beginning with
plank on trusts. The platform follows:
The Democrats OF the Second congress
sional district of Rhode Island. in con-
vention assembled. hereby adopt the fol-
lowing declaration of principles:
First. The Democratic party Is the
party OF the people. and believes In the
rigorous enforcement OF existing anti
trust laws and the enactment Of addition
al legislation to prevent extortion from
the people for the benefit of the few.
We believe that the prices OF the neces-
saries OF life have been RAISED by illegal
combinations beyond the fair and res
sonable cost OF production and distribu-
ton, and that the Republican admins
tration, by the non-enforcement OF pres
ent laws. and the Republican leaders by
the promise of congressional inactivity In
relation TO more drastic remedial legisla-
ton, have fostered. encouraged and pro-
tected conspiracies In restraint OF trade
and competition.
