south Dakota Bond Suit.
The platform adopted, after brief ref
erence to the settling of the race prob
lem by the passage of the constitu-
| tional amendment, has this to say of
the, South Dakota bond suit:
THE Democratic party of 1904 ap-
| proves the settlement made in 1879 and
will forever oppose any and all at
tempts from any quarter to set aside
the settlement then made. 1t will abide
the mandates of the courts, but it will
| not consent to reopen the settlement
that was alike creditable to the state
and fair to the holders of its secuFi-
ties"
1t then speaks of national policies.
1--WE condemn the President for his
surrender to trust influences and for
his failure to enforce the law against
monopolies and monopolists. Congress
appropriated $500, 900 to employ special
counsel to enforce the laws against
trusts. In twelve months he expend-
ed for such purposes only one-twenti-
eth of that sum. In the midst of crime
and havoc committed by these wrong
doers he will not stop the violation of
the statutes enacted for the protec-
ton of the people nor punish the GRIM
inals who plumber them, although his
attention was called to the manner in
which the perpetrators might be pun
ished by recent decisions of the Su-
preme Court.
Denounce the Tariff.
1--WE denounce the present ubiquitous,
unjust and trust creating protective
tariff imposed upon the people by the
Republican party and demand it's i'm
mediate revision, to the end that all
unjust burdens shall be removed and
especially those upon the necessaries
of life and those that enable the trusts
to extort from the people unreasonable
profits and sell their products to con-
sumers at home at greater prices than
| are charged for the same goods to the
foreign consumer.
1--WE view with alarm the growing
tendency of the government under Re-
} publican administration toward des-
potic Capitalization at home, as well
as despotic Imperialism abroad. We
! denounce the policy of the Republican
party IN Du1ldlnB up d SurOnB cenIrdi-
lied government at Washington at the
| expense of the sacred rights Of the
sovereign states; that which in its pol
icy and conduct has revised the clause
of the constitution, reserving to the
states all rights not specifically con-
ferred upon the federal government and
has assumed for the central govern
ment at Washington the vast residuum
of power solemnly guaranteed to the
people by the constitution"
The Committee on Platforms and
Resolutions reported fevorably a res
olution Endorsing the candidacy Of
Judge Parker. There was opposition
in the convention to any Endorsement
or instructions for any one, and the
friends of Judge Parker withdrew the
resolution. Senator F. NJ. Simmons de-
clared that Parker was his choice, but
IN view of the condition in the conven-
ton urged the withdrawal of the res
olutions. Before Senator Simmons
spoke, National Committeeman jose
phus Daniels urged that 1t was unwise
to indorse or instruct, and insisted that
the resolutions be withdrawn.
