Platform Is Radical.
The platform has this to say on the
.ariff
I'VE firmly adhere TO the funda-
mental republican doctrine of protec-
lion to American labor, and believe
that the air of a truly protective pol
Icy should be to stimulate competition
N the home market and not to destroy
It by favoring trust combinations. We
therefore believe in the REIMBURSEMENT
Of tariff schedules in all cases where
protection is employed for the benefit
Of capital only and to the injury Of
The consumer and workingman."
Support is pledged to the interstate
commerce commission and to President
Roosevelt in their efforts to secure re-
lief from the increasing burdens i'm
posed upon the people by public service
corporations.
