TEARS UP PLATFORM
COWHERD ANALYZEs REPUBLICAN
PRONUNCLAMENTO.
Only Honest Plank Is I'm Regard to the
Negro, and That is Infamous
Straddle on the
Tariff.
Advertiser Bureau,
Colorado Building.

colorado Building,
Washington, June 20.
Concerning the National platform of
the Republican party adopted at Chica-
go, Chairman Cowherd. of the Demo-
cratic Congressional Committee, said
today:
Heretofore the Republican party has
had a record for boldness. At Chica-
go 1t established a record for timidity
and evasion. The platform Is remark
able mainly for what 1t does not say.
The labor situation is as acute as
at any time in our history, yet there is
no announcement in regard to 1t.
There is no longer war in the Phil
lipines. surely the country is entitled
at the least to know what is to be the
future policy as to those islands. The
Philippine plank does not disclose it.
The tariff lank is an open straddle-
to be used as a promise of reduction of
duties to the voters and as pledge of
the maintenance to the manufacturer.
Governor Cummins says: 1t justi
fies the Iowa idea General Grosvenor
says: 1T is stand pat plank
Chairman Payne says: 1t leaves the
question open 1t was evidently not
intended as a plank but as trap.
The platform says: Our admins
tration of the great departments of the
Government has been honest. This,
in the face of the notorious frauds
discovered in the postoffice department;
the scandals in the land and Indian
bureaus which the Secretary of the In
terror Is concealing with so much
dificulty, and the forced adjournment
of Congress in order to prevent any
investigation, must be taken either as
sarcasm or humor.
The negro plank is the only honest
plank in the platform. 1t is infamous.
McKinleys noble utterances above
southern graves, his openly recognized
policy of a white rule for Southern
states, was thought by patriotic men
to signal the death of sectiona..sm
Roosevelt's negro policy Joined to
I,odge's force bill will revive il.
The Crumpacker resolution. discard

senate alike, has been forced by the
president upon his party. 1t will

Speaker Cannon came in for one of
the resolutions and he blushed like
school boy as the word boquet was
given him. He made eleven speeches
during the day, each a few crisp, orig
inal sentences, introducing the eleven
orators. His audience never tired of
nor hearing him. He was a
sauce to the proceedings. His jerky
walk to and from the peninsula of the
rostrum that projected into the audi

tight hold on the right hand of each
speaker with his right had and swung

While Speaker Cannon spoke, his
whole body shook, his left arm made
full circles. both legs vfbrated and
even his toes could be seen working up
and down in his shoes. His control of
the convention was complete.

save that 1t shows the Japanese to be
active north of Fengwang ChenE. Tho
movement In this direction is inter-
preted both as a threat to detain as
many Russians as possible in the north
ern part OF the Liaotung peninsula.
and as a protection of the Japanese
flank against a counter move on the
part of General Kuropatkin in case the
opposing armies should become seri-
ously engaged in the vicinity of Hal
Cheng.
The charge of barbarous treatment
of Russian wounded made against tha
Japanese by some Russian correspond
ents at the battle of Vafangow does
not flnd general credence. Neither the
foreign office, the war office nor any
of the foreign embassies, the attaches
of which were alleged to have signed
the discriminating statement, have rec
ceived any information of the aecu-
sation, and no action is contemplated
by the Government until the charge
has been substantiated. Doubts as t.
the truth of the charge are increased
by reports of kindness and considera-
tion shown by the Japanese In many
instances to wounded Russians.
