THE JUGGIuNG or PLATFORMS.

away from state issues is amusing In a
paper which has been ON both sides of the
license question in its own city In the
past four years and whose champion Is
constantly open to the deadly parallel re-
garding u number Of State issues.
The neighbor will find state Issues dis
cusscd to it's fullest satisfaction right
along in this campaign, but in view Of the
extreme lengths to which the fake fac
tory went in the desire to stihc discus

pressure of the national button,

ten to explain to the satisfaction of
thousands of democrats. who are bitterly
compla ming of the Generalization of their
party, how it happened that all of that
por,ion of the prepared state democratic
platform arragning republicans on ma
tional issues and inspiriting the demo-
cratic organization was uncercmoniously
dropped after the democrats had been
, p'IShtutu " dt'tpl IL ulShIIlollltu re-
publican as their candidate for the gov
ernorshlp.
a leading democrat says that tie party
twas to have a splendid declaration Of
principles on national lines. but nothing
is now left FOR them except to ignore
Bryan or other national leaders and en-
tlorse Roosevelt while democrats VINO
favor fusion say it will he time enough
to endorse Bryan two years from now.
No wonder straight democrats who
believe IN principle are indignant,

Herald We will speak of state issues and
ask it to say how it rcconcllos the posi-
ton of Il man who has suddenly become
seized with an alleged desire to save the
people from burdens Of taxation. with
the fact that under the influence of fus-
ion the following plank demanding equal
, taxation dropped bodily from the State
i democratic platform. The discarded
