HEARST HAS TASK
FOR DEMOCRATS
Calls on Them to Unite in Prov
ing that They Have Per- : i
~ manent Principles.

New York, Oct. 4.-William Randolph
Hearst, president Of the National Asso:.
citation Of Democratic Clubs, has issued
an. address to that association urging
upon it's members Especial activity and
untiring energy from now until the
closing of the polls.'
Mr.. Hearst's address says it is the
duty of the National Association Of
Democratic Clubs and of all democrats
to unite in proving that democrats have
principles, and permanent principles.
Then Mr.. Hearst cites as among these
principles the following:
The democrats believe that public prop
erty is public property. and that not even
the occupant of the White House should
turn men of war into private yachts OF
make officers and sailors Of the navy the
domestic servants of: the president
household.
The democratic party believes In ex'
pansion-it Is the party Of expansion, ar
| Jefferson was Americas greatest expan'
| sionst. But 1t Is opposed to imperialism
The democratic platform says: 1--WE de.
nounce protection as robbery Of the
many to enrich the few and democrats
mean exactly what the platform says
They know that thru protection the trusts
rob the public, workingmen and bushes:
men alike. And democrats, If elected, will
find a way to pull away from the trusts
their protecting cloak-the tariff. ~
| These with a heartily pledged supper
| of the Monroe doctrine, a demand tina
| the service of the old soldiers be fairl!
and generously recognized and a vigorous
protest against the attempt of Presiden
| Roosevelt to stir up race hatred as an en-
CINE of political advancement, constitute
the main features Of the latest dennocrati
PLATFORM worded to meet the espec1a
conditions and emergencies Of the day.

its old channel by artificial means.
More than six hundred thousand
acres Of land is cut off from the United
