The platform adopted is as follows:
The democrats in renewing their
pledge of fidelity TO the essential prin-
ciples of ~Jeffersonian democracy as re-
peatedly enunciated in our national
and state platforms make these further
declarations upon the national issues
of the hour, r~eserving an expression
upon state issues until the fall onven
ton, when state candidates are to be
nominated.
Il. This is a government of laws. not
of men,; no law for presidents, cabinet
and people; no u~surpation; no execu-
tive encroachment upon the legislative
or judicial department.
SO. We must keep %invioiate the
pledges of our treaties: we must re-
new n reinvigorate within ourselves
that respect for law and that love of
liberty and OF peace which the spirit
of milit>ly domination tends inevi-
tably to weaker and destroy.
g Unsteady national policies and 2
restless spirit of adventure engender
alarms that check our commercial
growth; let US have peace, TO the end
that business confidence may be re-
stored and that our people ma again
in tranquility enjoy the gains Of their
toll.
"A. Corporations chartered BY the
state must be subject to just reguia-
ton by tile state i'll the interest of tie
people; taxation ior l;lblic Lu1 ;.oses
only; no government partnership with
protected monopolies.

nations that Cypress the people and
stiie healthy industrial competition.
