THE POLICE INVESTIGATION
lcontinued from First Pagel.

(Continued from First Page).
 Ttilnan faction and this officer at first demurred and later said he would. He, however. did not. This was revealed by the alleged reading of the officers ballot by the teller of the caucus after it had been voted He told of instances where members oS the police force in what seemed to him to be unusual numbers were decidedly aggressive in their work at the polls during caucuses and elec- tions.
 MT. Hall then told of many things which seemed to show members of the: department to be in total ignorance of their. duties. At least 50 per cent. of the returns to warrants are made out in; correctly and some not made out at all. He told oe an instance just this week where the officer did not know that he would have to have warrant to hold a man in prison. This was Detective Frey, and the man was let go because he had been held two days without a warrant and the detective was not in court when the case was called. Dean Rogers asked If there were any schools of instruction for the police. MT. Hall said there were. none but that an officer was given a book of rules for his in formation and was expected to learn for himself his proper duties and the man ner of handling the various papers or cases.
 N Mir Hall in reply to question said that in his opinion and the result of his observations he did not consider there was the maximum efficiency in the po- lice department of the city. He did con- sider that they were better disciplined than in years gone by but that there was still room for improvement.
 The Mckee policy case was then con- sidered and MT: Hall related the visit os Mir. Mckee and his lawyer to MT. Hall end told of the offer of Mckee to pay $100 per day if the attorney would recommend a light sentence. Mir. Hall said that he absolutely refused to hear of such thing. MT. Mckee told him at that time that he had given one attor- ney whom he had called in consultation $250 which the attorney said would be of much service in mitigating the pun ishment. Just few days ago when City Attorney Webb asked the court for an increase in McKee's bond Mckee made the statement that he thought his leg had been pulled. From this MT. Hall gathered that the policy player ex- pected this money to be used in an att tempt at bribing either MT. Hall or MT. Webb, but that any efforts in that di- rection had been unavailing. Judge Harrison questioned closely with ref erence to the name of this attorney but MT. Hall steadfast1y refused to diyulge the name as it was not certain that he made the statement that the money would be used in the manner suggested

 American Citizenship.
 We pledge ourselves to insist upon the just and lawful protection of our cit izens at home and abroad and to use all proper measures to secure for them, whether native born or naturalized, and without distinction of race or creed, the equal protection of laws and the erl- 1oynent of all rights and privileges open to them under the covenants of our treaties of friendship and com. merce; and, if under existing treaties the right of travel and sojourn is de-. Hnied to American citizens or recogni- tion is withheld from American pass ports by any countries on tffe1 ground of race or creed we favor the beginning of negotiations with the governments of such countries to secure by treaties the removal of these unjust discriminat tons.
 We oppose the republican policy of starving home development in order to feed the greed for conquest and the ap- petite for national prestige and dis- play os strength. }.
 Economy of Administration. i. Large reductions can easily be made in the annual expenditures of the government without impairing the eff ciency of any branch of the public ser vice and we shall insist upon the strict ] est economy and frugality compatible with vigorous and efficient civil and military and naval administration as right os the people, too clear to be de- nied or withheld.

 We denounce the republican party for it's continuous and sinister encroaeh- ments upon the spirit and operation of civil service rules, whereby it had ar bitrarily dispensed with examinations for office in the interests of sayorites and employed all manner of devices to oyerreaeh and set aside the principles upon which the civil service was es- tablished.
 school and Race Questions.
 The race question has brought count less woes to this country. The calm wisdom of the American people should see to it that it brings no more. i To revive the dead and hateful race and sectional animosities in any part of our common country means confl- sion, distraction of business and the re- opening of wounds now happily healed. North. south, east and west have but recently stood together in line of battle from the walls of Pekin to the hills of Santiago, and, as ,sharers of common glory and a common destiny, we should share fraternally the common burdens.
 We therefore deprecate and condemn the Bourbon-like, selfish and narrow spirit of the recent republican conven- tion at Chicago which sought to kindle anew the embers of racial and section- al strife. and we appeal from 1t to the sober common sense and patriotic spir- it of the American people.
 The Republican Administration.
 The existing republican administra- tion has been spasmodic, cratic, sen sational, spectacular and arbitrary. It has made itself satire upon the con- gress, the courts and upon the settled practices and usages of national and international law.
 I It summoned the congress into nasty and futile extra session and virtually ladjourned 1t, leaving behind in its flight from Washington uncalied calen- dars and unaeeomplished tasks.
 It made war, which is the sole power Iof congress, without it's authority, thereby usnrping one of its fundamen- ltal prerogatives. It violated a plain statute of the United States as well as lplain treaty obligations, international lusages and constitutional law; and Ihas done So under pretense of execut- ling a great public policy which could Ihave been more easily effected lawfully. lconstitutionally and with honor.
 It forced strained and unnatural con- structions upon statutes usurping jul dicial interpretation and substituting congressional enactment by decree.
 It withdrew from congress their GUS tomary duties of investigation which Ehave heretofore made the representa- ltive of the people and the states the terror of. evildoers.
 It conducted a secretive investiga- ton of its own and boasted of few sample convicts, while 1t threw broad coveriet over the bureaus which had lbeen their chosen field of operative abuses, and kept In power the superior officers under whose administration the crimes had been committed.
 It ordered assault upon some monop- olies, but, paralyzed by its first victory it flung out the flag of truce and criee out that 1t would not run amuck' leaving it's future purposes becloudec by its vacillations.
