The Resolutions.
The resolutions say:
| Evils under the form of combinations
and trusts, which have so shocked the
/ normal conscience of the nation in the
/ last few years are a direct outcome OF
/ class legislation by the Republican party
comforting privileges on corporations at
] the expense of the common people.
/ continuance of such legislation is nOH
| threatened by the many bills of like char
acter. as for instance the ship subsidy
( bill, and Inadequate remedial laws enacted
/ by the recent congress, showing that
! there is no honest purpose on the part Of
/ the Republican party TO relieve the peo-
pie from the evils thus cast on them
by this unjust legislation. Their affila-
tiOns with the classes thus favored make
| it absolutely impossible to expect relief
from republican sources"
Tie platform then cites the rejection
| of the propositions of Senator La Toilette
with regard to railroad legislation as proof
| of these assertions.
Bryan for President.
The endorsement of William j. Bryan

rity and wisdom of William j. Bryan,
| and that under his leadership the people
would receive relief from the many ills
above referred to. we commend him 10
/ the people of the United States as can
didate for president in 1905"

! nation of all candidates by direct vote;
nomination and election of United States
senators by direct votes; a passage rate

upper peninsula: the elimination of the
use of the cross at the head of ballots
| and the use of a cross before each can

making it a criminal offense for members
of the Legislature TO accept railroad
| passes.

Address Of Mr.. Hendrix.
Il am not here to array class against

party in Chicago. | saw there for the
! first time the clash between the two

! Democracy received new baptism Of
| freedom. 1t faced without fear pomp and
power. The cause of the common people
triumphed That struggle was prophetic
of the destiny of the Democracy and 1t

| the cause of the great wealth producing
masses of our citizenship as against graft
| and plutocracy The difference, then ami
! today, between the Democratic and Re
