CURRENT COMMENT.

The Norfolk Landmark (DemA), says:

laws are needed to deal with the trust
problem. The history of the Presi-
dents party shows that an anti-Re-
publican Congress is needed to give us
the necessary laws"
The Birmingham Age Herald CDem.)
says: The Democrats may as well
get ready to face Theodore Roosevelt
as a Presidential nominee, and they
should not make the mistake of under
rating his popular qualities. He was
born with q silver spoon in his mouth;
he comes from one of the oldest and
best families of the land, he is book
ish and essentially aristocratic. and yet
he hides all this under Western or
Rough Rider manners, and is to-day
popular leader, stronger than his party,
and full of ambition and energy"

says: at is being pointed out by Re-
publican organs gleefully. that If Mr..
Bryan can control a third of the dele

THE KANSAS CITY PLATFORM.

VIII the Kansas City platform have
many friends in the next Democratic
national convention? The chances are
that it will, judging from the number
of states in which Democratic con-
ventions are reaffirming it. There is a
possibility that it will make trouble
for the Democratic party of the most
serious character.
OF course the majority must rule,
but the minority may refuse to accept
the decision of the majority. Those
who are clinging to the Kansas City
platform are very tenacious of their
opinions Some of them would rather
adhere to that platform, though feeling
certain that victory with it was impos-
sible, than have victory without 1t,
and others think that the party would
have a better chance with it than with
any other platform that could be
framed.
There does not seem to be any doubt
that the Democrats of a very consid-
cradle majority of the states either
have, or will, put the stamp of disap-
prevail upon that platform. They will
not condemn 1t, but they will say Moth
ing in approval of it. That was the
case in Indiana, in Pennsylvania, in
Maine and in this state In Illinois
there was a warm contest but, by a
large majority, the convention decided
not to make any mention of the Kan
sas City platform in its resolutions.
In Missouri on Tuesday the Demo-
cratic convention had a heated debate
over the question of mentioning the
Kansas City platform in the resolu-
lions, and the friends of the platform
were victorious. And in a number of
other states the platform has been re-
affirmed. 1t is a safe statement, how
ever, that IN at least three-fourths of
the Democratic state conventions it
viii be found, when the record is made
up, that the friends of the Kansas City
platform are in the minority. That be-
ing the case there ought to be ready
acquiescence in the decision of a ma
jority of the party. But will there be ?
If that question were practically set
tled Mr.. Bryan would not De crltlclS-
ing those Democrats who take a posi-
ton against the Kansas City platform.
He would see the way party sentiment
was drifting and would accept the
situation. Instead of that he appears
to be doing all he can to keep alive a
regard for the Kansas City platform.
What can his object be? There is no
doubt that he has a strong following
following that will be a big per-
centage in the Democratic national con-
vention in 1904. 1t can make trouble
in that convention if it wants to. The
possibility that it will make trouble is
what is causing politicians to watch
closely the action of the different
Democratic state conventions in re-
gard to the Kansas City platform.
