Der Hon Jack Boall OF waxahachie
will be elected TO congress for his

sional district The nomination of
Mr. Beall in the primary election.
which was held July 2S, was ratified
BY the congressional convention AT
Dallas last Saturday afternoon Mr.

nation was made by acclamation. The
fifth district is composed of the coun-
ties of Dallas, Ellis. VIII. Bosaue and
RockWall
Hon. T. b. Williams of Waxaha-
chic was chairman and Hon T 3.
Love of Dallas secretary OF the con
vention.
The following platform was adopt
ed
a. We rejoice over the prospects
of great national democratic vic
tory. The country has come to under
stand, at last, that the republican
policy Is that of pillaging the many
for the enrichment of the few. that
it is the party of sectionalism and
extravaganza; of imperialism that
would hold people as subjects, of
militarism that would burden our
people in times of peace with mill
tary and naval establishments and of
commercialism that fosters monopo-
lies and trusts.
g We believe that the laws
should protect all classes alike. We
declare in favor of the principles of
arbitration in disputes between en-
ployers and employees. and condemn
the perversion of the judicial power
involved in the issuance of needless
injunctionS for the oppression of
those who labor. We furthermore
protection should be given to the life
and safety of those who are engaged
in hazardous employ in the CON
duct OF the interstate commerce.
90 We believe in the principle OF
local government, and that it is
to aid and not to hinder the people

laws, and we favor the enactment o
! such legislation as will promote thi
end.
| - We join the democracy of al
other sections in extending greeting'
to William jennings Bryan upon his
return from foreign lands. In hin
we recognize the greatest of all liv-
rpin
life. OF loftiest patriotism, of incor-
ruptible integrity-the fittest leader
of the embattled hosts of democracy
With him as our standard bearer we
believe that victory Will come, and
with it we will return to a govern
ment of liberty and law, of equity
and economy, of honesty and honor.
IS. We deplore the spirit of eX-
travagance that seems to pervade all
departments of the national govern
ment under republican rule and com
mend our senators and representa-
tives in congress for their efforts in
behalf of economy. The appropria-
ton of $3.50, 100000 in one session OF
congress is startling in itself, but
when the further fact is considered
| that nearly $440, 100000 was spen
! last wear on account of and in pre-
paratiOn for war, the situation be
| comes appalling. If the purpose o
the present administration is TO pre-
serve the peace, then the expenditure
of such a vast sum for such purpose
| is useless, while if to make such ap
preparations OF service 1t is the inten
tiou to provoke conflicts with othe
powers, such a course is criminal
"G Instead OF such oNtraordinar
| and unreasonable expenditures to
varlikc purposes We declare that lh
energies aud resources of our peopl
ghould be- utilized for the purpose Cd
peace and commerce By devoloplu
the rivers and harbora OF our coun
ltry. and to that end Ne demand thu
lannual adequate appropriation
