SHAPING THE PLATFORM.
Democracy May Appeal to Public With Dignity and Persuasiveness.

With Dignity and Persuasiveness.
 From the Providence Journal
 So far, then, as the national Demo- cratic platform Is to take its shape and substance from the subsidiary plat forms that are preceding It's construc- tion in the states that will have the most influential delegations at St, Louis, we have now a fairly trustwor- thy indication of what the main blanks in that platform are to be; and this brings us again to the same conclusion that has already been reached in sev- eral other ways. that the overshadow- ing question which Is to be presented to the voters next November Is wheth- CT Theodore Roosevelt, on his per sonal character and his official record, Is a man whom they are willing to trust with four more years of presi- dential power. On its own record the Democratic party cannot make very effective appeal as the party of tariff reform; the record of its opponent has stolen much of its antitrust thunder But when it asks for support on the ground that to support its opponent Is to peril the best interests of the na- tion it Is useless to deny that 1t will get a certain respectful hearing. That will be. so far as can now be seen, the strongest appeal it can make; and the nomination of Judge Parker on es- sentially such platform as those con structed in New York and Pennsyl- vania will enable 1t to make that ap- peal with dignity and persuasiveness.
