DEMOCRATIC STATE
PLATFORM, 1903

Translated from the Original Tongue)
l. We endorse the Kansas City
platform. We will demand the free
and unlimited coinage Of silver by the
United States at the ratio OF 16 to /,
without the consent Of Mark Hanna or
any other NATION on earth. We in
vited w. J. Bryan to come to Ohio and
discuss the silver issue in the coming
campaign. but we intend to place the
name Of three gold standard men upon
our state ticket, all Of which fought
us in 1896. This will catch all kinds
Of suckers
2. We oppose government by in
junction, and demand that the rail-
road companies pay at least half of
their share of the taxes; but we in
tend to endorse the general attorney
Of the Nickel Plate Railroad company
for United States senator. This plank
is copyrighted.
8. We demand the initiatory refer
endum, but we know darned well that
both are impossible under the Amer
lean system of representative govern
ment This Is to catch the Populists.
4. We denounce the boss" methods
Of Mark Hanna. but we intend to NOM
mate for governor the most gigantic
boss" who ever rode a -Devil-cart"
over a free people. This is our ideas
Of consistency.
s. We demand home rule for all the
municipalities in the state, provided
We can do the ruling. OF course we
know that municipalities have no in
herent governmental powers. and have
only such as are conferred by the state
through the legislature. This won't
make any difference; we want to catch
votes.
g. We belong to the party Of JEFF
ferson, Jackson and Tilden. The party
that used to stand for something, and
We intend to nominate as one of our
candidates one of Sam Jones' lieuten-
ants who has no party and don't stand
for anything except socialism and

form beats the NIGGER'S coon trap,

THIN Tribune

Tom L. johnson is an interesting
cuss. He is decidedly original. 1t
must be conceded he has courage.
He is also a great buffer. 1t takes
courage to be a good buffer. He
will make a lively canvass for votes.
He has money. He knows how he
got it. He is a money maker. He
did not get his fortune by the sweat
of his face. He got it by buying run
down street railway properties for a
song and selling them at greatly
advanced price In the meantime,
while he operated them he did not
advocate nor collect three cent fares.
Five cents straight was the price.
Hence he got rich. He did not enter
politics until he had made his money,
or much of it. While Tom L. John
son is interesting, original, coura-
geous, a buffer, energetic, rich and
smart, he is not wise nor honest.
He is trying to deceive the people.
He is trying to make them believe
they are being defrauded and held
up by corporations, trusts, etc. He
is neither wise nor honest in these
policies. He will not fool the voters,
because he can not. They are not as
gullible as he thinks they are, or
pretends to think they are. He un-
|derestimates the capacity of the
public. There are some wrongs, even
in Ohio. There always will be, but
the Democratic candidate for the
Governorship is not the man to set
things right. BY the way, Mr.. Her
rick, of Cleveland, will be the next
Governor, and Senator Hanna will
succeed himself. Do you catch the
idea, Mr.. Johnsing? Sidney Journal.
