IOWA DEMOCRATS REBEL
DECLINE TO REAFFIRM THE BRYAN
PLATFORM OF 1900.
Also Refused to Adopt n Declaration
in Favor of Government Owner
ship Of Railways.

DIES MONIES, Ia, June A.-The Demo-
cratic State convention to-day nominated
the following ticket: Governor, j. B. Sui
livan; Lieutenant Governor, d. B. Butler;
Judge of Supreme Court, John r. CALDWELL;
superintendent of public instruction, A. r..
McCook; railroad commissioner. w. s. Por-
ter.
The convention by a vote of 463 9-10 to
354 lilo refused to adopt a minority report,
signed by four members of the committee
on resolutions, adding to the platform re-
ported by the seven members constituting
the majority of the committee, a plank re-
affirming the Democratic national platform
of 1900. and by vote of 62s1k to 1872 re-
jected another minority report adding to the
plank demanding government control Of
railway charges a provision that in case
such control should not prove effective
the national government should acquire the
ownership of railroads.
All the nominations were made by ac-
clamation, the friends of Judge A. A. Van
Wagenen. of Sioux City, having concluded
not to present his name for Governor after
1t became apparent that the convention
would not adopt a government ownership
plank which he has favored. J. b. Sulli-
van, nominee for Governor, has been affil-
lated with the Bryan wing of the party,
but he was acceptable to the gold Demo-
Gratis.
The platform opposes a policy of i'm
perialism, condemns the Republican party s
financial policies, protests against the AL
drich bill for loaning money of the gov
eminent, deplores the corruption in the
Postoffice Department, refers to the alarm
ing growth of the trust evils, favors re-
! vision of the tariff and opposes government
by injunction. The financial plank follows:
1--WE condemn the Republican party for
its financial policies. which would foist
on the country an unstable currency based
on uncertain private securities. We
protest against the plan presented in the
Aldrich bill recently before the United
States Senate by which the money of the
nation shall be loaned to capitalists upon
the bond and securities of private corpora
tons, as an effort to give value and sta
bility to watered bonds and securities OF
corporations and trusts, many of which are
maintaining monopolies in defiance of law
and public sentiment. We insist that the
integrity of the money of the nation be
guarded with Jealous care and demand that
it shall be sufficient in volume to meet
the needs of the business interests of the
country and that 1t shall be safeguarded
by careful legislation as to prevent the
gamblers of Wall street from cornering the
| market, thus infiicting untold injury upon
the smaller business men, the farmers and
the laborers of the land"
