New York, october 4-Wiliiam Ran
dolph Hearst. President of the Nation
al Association of Democratic Clubs has
issued an address to nat association
urging upon it's members special activ-
ity and untiring energy from now un-
til the closing of the polls"
Mr.. Hearst's address says in part:
"I have offered my services and those
of my to the of
the Democracy, n in sofar as l have
felt justified a. our president in so
doing 1 have offered the much greater
influence of h National Association
of Democratic Clubs, pledging the hon
est cooperation of all the members TO
further effort on the lines of that gen.
uine democracy in which a majority Of
the American people believe %
1T is the duty of the members Of the
National Association of Democratic
Clubs and of all Democrats to unite in
proving that Democrats have princi-
pies, and permanent principles.
THE Democratic party has a great
respect for vested rights-it has ais a
great hatred of vested wrongs, nc mat
ter how long Or respectable their ante
cedents Democrats believe in the
"a ~ A S~
rights of labor are certainly no less
vested no less sacred n no less
'inalienable' than the rights of capital
Democrats denounce the exporta-
ton without process of law of working
men and women from the state of Col
rad or from any other part Of Amer
lean soil. The democracy detests all
kinds OF anarchy, and especially that
which puts the executive. OF a state,
backed hV tho militia above the laws
and above the courts.
THE democracy believes in putting
the thieves out Of the postofice n all
other branches of public service. from
the United States Senate all the way
| down.
1.-The Democrats believe tina public
property is public property n that
not even the occupant of the White
House should turn men-of-war into
| private yatchs or make of the officers
and sailors of the navy the domestic
servants OF the Presidents household.
1.-THE Democratic party believes in
e~xpansion-it is the party of expansion,
as Jefferson was Americas greatest ex-
pansionist. But it is opposed to i'm
| perfalism.
THE Democratic platform says:
1--WE denounce protection as a rob-
berry Of the many to enrich the few'
| and Democrats mean exactly what the
| platform says.
They know hat through protection
the trusts rob the public, working men
and business men alike. And Demo
Gratis, If elected, will find a way to pull
away from the trusts their protecting
cloak-the tariff.
These, with a heartily pledged sup
port OF the Monroe Doctrine. a demand
that the service of the old soldiers be
fairly n generously recognized. and
a vigorous protest against the attempt
of President Roosevelt to stir up race
hatred as an engine Of political ad-
vancement constitute the main features
OF the latest Democratic platform
worded to meet the especial conditions
and emergencies Of the day"
