Platform Strictly An Antitrust
One...-lt Was Adopted

Jackson county was nominated for
congressman on the first ballot by the
democratic convention OF the First
Oregon district this morning, The
other candidates were J. A. jeffrey
Of Marion, w, Keiser OF Marion and
william Galloway OF ciackamas. To
cement the various interests and avoid
lIssensions, the several applicants had
been placated with honorary appoint
ments In the convention, thus greaslng
Reames' pathway and providing for his
unanimous nomination. An antitrust
platform was adopted unanimously.
Chairman Sam White opened the
campaign with a long speech for har-
mony. producing a soothing effect;
other speakers also contributing. OF
the los delegates iOs were present,
with bur few proxies, thus indicating
the cnthusinsm prevalent among the

man; c. V. Galloway temporary Sec
retary.. and r. b. Montague Of Linn,
assistant secretary. We're made perma-

mously as follows:
Eve are unalterably opposed 10 the
present trust dlctatlon OF our financial
tartff legislation. especially as exemp-
lifled by the Aldrich and Fowler bills
now pending before congress, and de-
clare such control harmful to good gov
ernment.
"There IL an overwhelming demand
from vast majority OF the people for
revision Of the tariff along rational
lines. We repudiate the absurd prop
ositIon OF continuing high protection on
products Of the gigantic trusts now
grown to plethorlc wealth under gov
ernmental fnvors.
1--WE demand favorable action IN leiu
of mere promises In securing federal
improvements of our rivers and har-
h0rs.
I'VE demand the passage of effective
laws controlling the trusts, and sincere
efforts to enforce them.
Public lands belong Of right to the
people and any attempt to ALLEVIATE
said lands contrary to law should be
condemned at the bar of public opin-
ion, we therefore favor an honest adm
inlstratlon OF the land department as
well as all other departments.

Chamberlain Is justly receiving the

ocratic party In the recent legislature
reflects nonor upon the party, and will
rebound 10 the welfare Of the state.
We commend their earnest endeavor
to curtail public expenditures in the
interest Of the taxpayers.
Reames in his speech, confessed that
II had long been his desire to so to
congress and that he expected to see
his ambition realized.
