ADDRESS TO THE CLUBS

| New York, October 4.-William Ran | dolph Hearst president of the national
 association of democratic clubs, has is- sued an address to that association urg- ing upon its memD.s special activity
 and untiring energy from now until the
 closing of the :. .7lls." MT. Hearst's ad- dress says in part: q hope that every of
 fieial and every individual member ot
 every club in our association will do all that he can-and more than ever before to promote and expound the interests
 and beliefs of genuine Jeffersonians de-
 mocracy.
 T call upon all members of the clubs To begin earnest campaign work immed- lately, to reorganize where reorganization is necessary. and especially to respond
 promptly and energetically to every sug
 gestion that may come from the national
 management of the democratic part. I have offered my services and those
 of my newspapers to t-.e managers of the
 democracy and in so far as I have felt
 Justified as your president in so doing,
 have offered the much greater influence
 or the national associations of the dem
 ocratic clubs pledging the honest coop
 eration of all member. to further effort
 on the lines of that genuine democracy In which majority of the American peo- pie believe.
 mere are special reasons why the democrats of the United States should assert themselves and work energetically in this campaign.
 Restore If to fhe psonla
 First and foremost there s the nar- amount duty before us-we must restore the government of this country to the hands of the people to whom and by whom the government was created.
 AS democrats we are interested this year in repudiating and dsproving by earnest, sincere work the charges made against us
 'The President of the United States. In his formal letter of acceptance calls all democrats hypocrites and time-serv- CTS. He says they are compelled to im- provise their convictions, and that 1t is
 no wonder they forget their convictions | overnight
 Tt Is the duty of the members of the | National Association of Democratic clubs I and of all democrats to unite in proving I that democrats have principles and per-
 manent principles
 we should unite to preach our demo- cratic beliefs from now until election I day, and to vote for those principles on | that uay.
 Rights of Labor and Capital. The democratic party has great re- | spect for vested rights-it has also q great hatred of vested wrongs, no matter how long or respectable their antecedents. Democrats believe In the statement of their platform that the rights of labor
 are certainly no less vested no less
 'inalienable' than the rights of capital. Democrats denounce the deportation
 without process of law of worlSingmen and women from the state of Colorado or from any other part of American soil
 The democracy detests all kinds of an-
 archy and especially that which puts the executive of a state, backed by the
 military, above the laws and above the courts.
 The democracy believes In putting the thieves out of the postoffices and all other branches of public service. from the Uni
 ted States senate all the way down. "The democrats believe that public I property Is public property and that not | even the occupant of the White House 1 should turn men of war into private | yachts or make of the officers and sail- ors of the navy the domestic servants of the Presidents household The democratic party believes in ex- 1 pansion-it Is the party of expansion as Jefferson was America's greatest expnn- sonist. But 1t is opposed to imperial ism.
 Democrats Mean 1t. The democratic platform says: We denounce protection as a robbery of the many to enrich the few and democrats mean exactly what the platform says They know that through protection they rob the workmen and business men alike, and democrats If elected will find way to pull away from the trusts their protecting cloak-the tariff
 These with hearty pledge for the Monroe doctrine. that the service of the soldiers be fairly and generously recog- nized. 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 emer- gencies of the day
 We democrats hold now as we did enc hundred years ago, to the doctrine of equal rights for all. and special priv ileges for none; while MT. Roosevelts party and MT. Roosevelt with every ap- pointment in his gift bestowed on some trust puppet, hold to the doctrine of spe- cial favors for those who can and will pay.
