Democratic Platform.

Following is the platform as adopted
by the convention:
The Democratic party of the United
States. in national convention assem-
bled. declares its devotion to the essen
tial principles of the Democratic faith
which bring us together in party COM
munion.
Under them, local self-government
and national unity and prosperity were
alike established. They underlaid our
independence. the structure of our free
republic, and every Democratic eXten-
sion from Louisiana to California and
Texas to Oregon. which preserved
faithfully in all the states the tie be-
tween taxation and representation.
They vet inspire the masses of our
people, guarding jealousy their rights
and liberties and cherishing their fra
ternity. peace and orderly development.
They remind us of our duties and re-
sponsibilities as citizens and impress
upon us, particularly at this time, the
necessity of reform and the rescue OF
the administration of government from
the headstrong, arbitrary and spas
modic methods which detract business
by uncertainty and pervade the public
mind with dread, distrust and pertur-
baton.
Fundamental Principles.
First-The application of these fun
damental principles to the living
issues of the day is the first step
toward the assured peace. safety and
progress of our nation. Freedom OF
the press, of conscience and OF
speech-equality.
kYhe law of all citizens: right of
tVlal by jury; freedom of the person
defended by the writ of habeas corpus !;
liberty of personal contract untram'
meled by sumptuary laws; supremacy
of the civil over the military author
ity; a well disciplined militia; the sep
aration of church and state; economy
in expenditures; low taxes, that labor
NAV oe lightly burdened; prompt and
sacred fulfllment of public and private
obligations; fidelity to treaties; peace
and friendship with all nations; en-
taneling alliances with none; absolute
acouiescence in the will of the ma
iority: the vital principles of repub-
lics-these are the doctrines which
Democracy has established as prov
erbs of the nation and they should be
constantly enforced.
Capital and Labor.
We favor enactment and administra-
impartially their just rights. Capital
and labor ought not to be enemies.
Each is necessary to the other. Each
has its rights; but the rights of labor
are certainly no less vested. no less
sacred" and no less "unalienable
than the rights of capital.
Constitutional Guaranty.
Constitutional guarantees are violat-
,.honayar any citizen is denied the
right to labor, acquire and enjoy prop
erty or reside where interest or inclin-
alton may determine. Any denial
thereof by individuals or organizations
of government should be summary re-
buked and punished.
We deny the right of any executive
TO disregard or suspend any constitu-
tional privilege or limitation. Obedi-
erA to the laws and respect for their
requirements are alike the supreme
duty of the citizen and the official.
The Lamar register., 1904-07-13
condemns peportation.

The military should be used only to
support and maintain the law we un-
qualifiedly condemn its employment for
the summary Punishment of citizens
without trial, or for the control oil
elections.
We approve the measure which
passed the United States Senate in 1886,
relating to contempt in federal courts,
and providing for trial by jury in cases
of indirect contempt.
Waterways.
We favor liberal appropriations Tor
the care and improvement of the water
ways of the country.
We oppose the Republican policy OF
starving home development in order to
feed the freed of conquest and the ap-
petite for national prestige ana dis-
play of strength.
Economy of Administration.
First-Large reductions can easily be
made in the annual expenditures oil the
government without impairing the EN-
cheney of any branch of ;he public ser
vice. and we shall insist upon the
strictest economy and frugality COM
patible with vigorous and efficient civil,
military and naval administration as
right of the people, too clear to be de-
MED or withheld.
Second-We favor honesty in the
public service The enforcement OF
honesty in the public service, and 10
that end a thorough legislative inNestl-
CATION of those executive departments
of the government already known 10
TEEN with corruption, as well as other
departments suspected of harborlns
corruption. and punishment OF ascer-
tanned corruptionists without fear or
sistent and deliberate refusal of both
the Senate and House of Representa-
tives to permit such investigation to be
made demonstrates that only by
change in the executive and in the leg
islative departments can complete ex-
posure. punishment and conviction be
obtained.
Federal Government and Trusts.
We condemn the action of the Re
publican party in Congress in refusing
to prohibit an executive department
from entering into contracts with con-
yicted trusts or unlawful combinations
in restraint of interstate trade.
Executive Usurpation.
We favor the nomination and cleo
tion of a President imbued with the
principles of the constitution. who will
set his face sternly against executive
usurpation of legislative and Judicial
functions, whether that usurpation be
yelled under the guise of executive
cons struction of existing laws or wheth-
er it takes refuge in the tyrant's plans
of necessity or superior wisdom.
Imperialism.
We favor the preservation, so far as
we can. of an open door for the world S
commerce in the Orient, without an
unnecessary ENHANCEMENT in Oriental
and European affairs, and without ar
bitrary, unlimited irresponsible and
absolute government anywhere within
our Jurisdiction. We oppose fervently
as did George Washington himself, an
indefinite. irresponsible, discretionary
and vague absolutism and policy OF
colonial exploitation, no matter where
or by whom exercised; we believe with
Thomas jefferson and John Adams,
