PLATFORM POINTS.
Some Of the Principal Measures Contained 10
the Party Declaration.

The principles set forth in the plat
form in part are as follows:
The ship subsidy bill is denounced
Trusts and monopolies are con-
dcmned.
The determination of polygamy is
demanded.
The money question is declared to
be 10 longer an issue.
Maintenance of the Monroe Doc
trine. more liberal trade with Canada,
and reduction of the army and army
expenditures are favored.
A liberal annual increase in the
navy, and the enactment of laws CIV
ing capital and labor impartial rights
are urged.
Large reductions can readily be
made in the annual expenditures OF
the government without impairing the
efficiency of any branch of the public
service.
The enforcement of honesty in the
public service and to that end a
thorough legislative investigation OF
those executive departments of the
government already known to TEEN
with corruption, as well as other de-
partments suspected of harboring cor
ruption, and the punishment of as
certained corruptionists without fear
or favor or regard to persons.
We favor the nomination and cleo
ton of President trained in the ways
of the Constitution, who shall set his
face sternly against executive usurpa-
ton of legislative and judicial func-
tons.
The Democratic party has been
and will continue to be the consistent
opponent of that class of tariff legis-
lation by which certain interests have
been permitted, through COMPRESSION
al favor to draw heavy tribute from
the American people.
I'VE insist that we ought to do for

wisely and safely for the Filipinos
themselves and after amicable ar
rangements with them concerning
naval stations, coaling and trade re-
lations, and upon suitable guarantees
of protection to all National and in
ternational interests, to set the Fill
