adopt minority report. signed by four
members of the committee on resolu-
tons, adding to the platform reported
by the seven members < 1tut'ng the
majority of the committee a plank re-
affirming the Democratic national plat
form of 1900. and by vote of 62S1z to
1897 rejected another minority report
adding to the plank demanding govern
ment control of railway charges a pro-
vision that in case such control should
not prove effective. the national gov
eminent should acquire ownership Of
railroads.
All the nominations were made by
exclamation. the friends of Judge A
Van Wagenen of Sioux City having
concluded not to present his name for
governor after it became apparent that
the convention would not adopt gov
eminent ownership plank, which he has
favored. J. B. Sullivan, the nominee
for governor. has been affiliated with
the Bryan wing Of the party, but he
vas acceptable to the gold Democrats
The Platform.
The following resolutions were
adopted:
We the chosen representatives OF
the Democratic party in Iowa, in dele
gate convention assembled, hereby de-
clare anew our faith in the funda-
mental principles of the Democratic
party and renew our allegiance there
to.
1--WE find much in the domestic af-
fairs of the nation that ought to be
changed. The tariff policy originally
adopted for the avOwed purpose of
raising revenue to meet the enor-
nous burdens of the civil war has
been turned to the use of individual
and class interests until it has be-
come the creator Of countless I'M
earned fortunes and the shelter Of
huge combinations of capital, organ
lied in the form of trusts, which are
strangling competition in many of our
industries, destroying individual eff
fort, crushing ambition largely IN
every line of industry and already ac-
curing a power which enables them
to dictate their own interests and the
prices of labor and raw material, and
the cost OF finished products
I'VE declare our opposition to the
principles of government by injunc-
ton.
I'VE renew our demand for the cleo
ton of United States senators by di-
rect vote.
I'VE are unalterably opposed TO the
policy of imperialism by this govern
ment instituted fOstered and main
tanned by the Republican party. and
we demand that our government shall
declare it to be its purpose, and with
out delay, to adopt such measures as
shall give to the people of the Phil
ippine islands and Porto Rico their IN
alienable right of self-government-
I'VE condemn the Republican party
for its financial policies, which would
foist upon the country an unsuitable
currency based upon the uncertain
private securities.
ave protest against the plan pre-
scented in the Aldricn bill. recently be-
fore the United States senate, by which
the money of the nation shall be
loaned to capitalists upon the bonds
and securities of private corporations,
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 it shall be safeguard
ed by careful legislation 50 as TO pre-
vent gamblers Of Wall street from cor
nering the money market, thus in
fiicting untold injury upon the small
er business men. the farmers and the
laborers Of the land.
I'VE deplore the corrupt condition OF
the government service in the post
Office department and demand a thor
ough investigation of that and other
DEPARTMENTS by a congressional COM
mittee, publicity as to such conditions
and punishment of all wrong doers.'
