plain mandate of the labor plank in

We also favor a national eight-hou:
law applicable to all public works.
We are opposed to the alorming
growth ON militarism and to the inter-
ference and settlement Of civil dis
putes by the military forces undA
the present Republican administration
We demand that all military author
tiles be subordinate to civil law.
For the protection of the life and
limb of employees we favor the pass

ira hazardous occupations.
We favor the passage Of the laws
providing for the inspection Of mines

NO IMPERIALISM.
We favor and especially emphasize
that plank in the ST. Louis platform
which declares that all men under
the American flag are entitled to the
protection Of the institutions whose
. emblem the flag is, even if they are
inherently unfit to be members Ct
the American body polite. Wherever
there may exist people incapable of
being governed by American laws un-
der the American Constitution, the
4 territory Or people ought not to be a
part of the American domain. We IN
sist that we ought to do for the Fill
pinos what we have already done for
the Cubans, and it is our duty to make
that promise now and upon suita bic
guarantees of protection to citizens Of
our own and other countries resid ert
there at the time of our withdrawal,
set the Filipino people upon their feet
free and Independent to work out
their destiny.
: PANAMA CANAL TREATY.
We favor the building of the Par
anna Canal but most strongly condemn
/ the methods adopted by President
Roosevelt in obtaining the right Of
way for the Canal. We charge him
in this particular with a violation OF
( the sacred principles upon which our
country was founded, with incitin g
and supporting rebellion in Colombia,
sister 7s1uhlic, for the purpose
unlawful1y acquiring possession of a
portion of its territory.

We renew our demands for the elect
ion of United States Senators by di-
rect vote of the people
TRUSTS.
We are unalterably opposed to all
trusts and combinations formed for
the purpose of restraining trade, fix
ing prices and monopolizins business
we demand the strict enforcement CT
the laws relative thereto and we fur
Their demand that such trusts ana
combinations shall de deprived of al
tariff protection so far as it may be
necessary to effectually curb them
and prevent them from charging III
reasonable prices to the American coz
sumner.
TRUSTS AND MONOPOLIES.
Trusts and all other unlawful com
hinations of capital owe their birts
to Republican laws, and their growth
to the encouragement and protection
Of the Republican administration. w
condemn President Roosevelt fl
maintaining in the Office of Attorney
General Philander Knox, a man VIII
was made and owned by the trusts
and who did everything in his pows
to further and protect these crimina
} combinations
