The platform favors tariff for reve-
nue. only, the election Of United States
senators by direct vote of the people
and demands the enac tment Of such leg;
islation as will effectually destroy all
trusts. 1t expresses sympathy with
the, purposes of national labor organi-
cations as set forth in recent addresses
by Samuel Gompers, John Mitchell and
others, calling on labor to assert it's
political rights at the ballot box.

"We believe that the people of this
country who produce our wealth to pay

Berlin, Dec. 29.-The hopes of the
German liberals increase as the election
draws nearer. The government Is friend
ly attitude continues, which means that
many submissive citizens will dare to
vote with the radicals instead Of the
conservatives. Besides, since the gen.
eral election Of 1908, fully 100000 new
voters have been added to the registers.
Nearly all are of the industrial classes
who will certainly back up the social
lists.
The well-known political writer, Dr.
Theodore Barth said today: ct am
convinced that democracy is making
its way in Germany. Time is fighting
on our side. Thoughtful observers be-
gin to see that the dissolution Of the
reichstag really means that the govern
ment begins to understand that the old
reactionary regime is impossible. But
Prince Buelow sitting on the fence and
waiting for something to turn up, hopes
for tremendous new majority of radi-
calls and conservatives against the cleri-
calls and socialists.

alton with socialists of the Anglo
French model, and have been working
with our utmost strength to organize
victory in the conservative cons tituen-
cles. In the general uncertainty and
confusion prevailing the election results
may surprise the world and lay the
foundation for new GERMANY

The former, says editorially: elf
England is ever to be invaded, we shall

it was dark and warm. Finally, the

st. Louis, Dec. 29.-Conressman Rich
ard Bartholdt Of st. Louis declared to-
night in an address before businessmen,
bankers and large shippers Of st. Louis,
for a national policy of issuing bonds
for internal improvements and especially
waterways.
"Since the civil war; he said, ev-
cry. great question which has divided
political parties has been a business
question. We have a right to conclude
that the party is most likely to succeed
which is most willing to champion the
cahse of general welfare by promoting
the most important business policy ever
before the country. the policy of inter
nal Improvement on a grand scale. -
"The chairman Of the committee on
appropriations, Congressman Tawney,
said in an interview at Chicago the
other day: Internal waterway improve
ments cannot be expected until, our APP
preparations for the army and navy are
lessened or special tax is levied
IT our government is to enter upon
a policy favoring systematic internal
improvements, a regular annual budget
would be provided for that purpose the
same as for the army and navy. Per
haps we shall live to see the day when
that will be done under readjustment
such as will no longer permit our mill
tary and naval business to devour two
thirds of our revenues for some years to
come. [ am afraid such a reimbursement
will be impracticable. No one will con-
tend that it is anything but ques-
ton of money.

projects to secure navigable channels
from the lakes to the gulf in the upper
Mississippi, Missouri, Ohio and other
rivers, shall wait until an income tax. or
an inheritance tax shall have yielded
sufficient revenue to pay for them! I
would say no. An issue of two or three
per cent bonds to the amount of $780,
00O, 1000, to be distributed over a period
of say ten years, will suffice to complete
all great river projects and will solve
the problem of the permanent improve
