PLATFORM cRiTiCi5ES IMPERIAL

delegates to the st. Louis convention.
The delegates al large are. Unit

The platform denounces the Repub,
lican party for its dangerous departure
from the cardinal principles incul-
Gated by the fathers of the repub-
lie; advocates tariff revision, criti-
cises the imperial" policy of the Re
publicans and demands independence

cises President Roosevelt's methods in
Panama negotiations and his dicta-
torial course towards congress.
Though the delegation was not in
structed for Senator German the con
vention adopted a resolution strongly
commencing his course in congress.
