We are promised a chance of

policies of the republican congress?
The republican party cannot be
true to the one without repudiating
the other. 1t cannot at one and the
same time keep step with Roose-
welt, the radical, and Cannon, the
standpatter; with tariff reform and
the gospel OF protection, with the
trusts of the east and the farmers

ECONOMY IN ADMINISTRATION

The republican congress, in the ses-
sion lust ended, has made approprla-
lions amounting to $l,O0s, 000,00O ex-
ceeding the total expenditures of the
past fiscal year by S90,OO0,0o0. and
leaving a deficit of more than 900,
900 for the fiscal year. We denounce
the needless waste OF the peoples
money which has resulted in this APP
palling increase as shameful viola
ton of all prudent conditions OF gov
eminent. and as no less than crime
against the millions OF working women
and men from whose earnings the great
proporton of these colossal sums must
be extorted through excessive tariff eX-
actions and other indirect methods. 1t
is not surprising that in the face of this
shocking record the republican plat
form contains no reference to ecOnom-
zeal administration or promise thereof
in the future. We demand that stop
be put to this frightful extravaganza
and insist upon the strictest economy
ia every department compatible with
frugal and efficient administration.

interest by the managers of either
organization, it proclaimed the
purpose of the republicans to lay
tribute upon the corporations and
to fry out of the manufacturers,
again to sell the foreign embassies
to the millionaire and promises Of
no real interference to the truss
magnates, as return for the means
of corrupting the ballot box and
buying the election.
1t is possible that they look for a
hidden letter of Mr.. Taft, prema-
turely exploded, to make denial OF
this? 1t is possible that they rely
upon certain glittering gcneralities
of the president adroitly kept out
of sight and mind at the crucial
moment to help them deny it? By
vote of eight to one they struck
the ideal out of their platform.
They have no hope of carrying
the country by free vote and a
fair count; Of winning the election
except by purchase, and all that is

OFFICEHOLDERS

Coincident with the enormous in
crease in the expenditures is a like adj
ditiOn to number of OtlicehOlders.
During the past year %, .S4 were added,
costing SIG, l56, 900, and in the past six
years of the republican administration
he total number of new Offices created
aside from many commissions, has been
99,3l9, entailing an additional eXpendi
ture of nearly $4,000, 900, as against
10 279 new Offices created under the
Cleveland and Mckinley admnistra
tions, which involved the expenditure
of only S6,000,000. We denounce this
growing increase in the number OF Of
fceeolders as not only unnecessary and
wasteful but also as clearly indicating
a deliberate purpose on the part of the
administration to keep the republican
party in power at public expense by
thus increasing the number OF its re-
tainers and dependents. Sucn proceed
ure we declare to be no less dangerous
and corrupt than the open purchase OF
votes at the polls.

PREAMBLE
REPUBLICAN PLATFORM

Once more the republican party, in
national convention assembled, submits
its cause to the people. This great
historic organization, that destroyed
slavery, preserved the Union. restored
credit, expanded the national domain,
established a sound financial system,
developed the industries aud resources
OF the country and gave to the nation
her seat OF honor in the councils OF the
world, now meets the new problems OF
government with the same courage and
capacity with which it solved the old.
In this. the greatest era OF American
advancement, the republican party has
reached its highest service under the
leadership OF Theodore Roosevelt. His
administration is an epoch in American
history. In no other period since ma
tional sovereignty was won under Wash
ineton or preserved under Lincoln has
there been such mighty progress In
these ideals of government which make
for justice, equality and fair dealing
among men. The highest ASPIRATIONS
of the American people have found a
voice. Their most exalted servant rep
resents the best aims and wOrthiest pur-
poses Of all his countrymen. American
manhood has been lifted to nobler
sense of duty and obligation Con
science and courage in public station
and higher standards OF right and
wrong in private life have become car
dinal principles of political faith; capt.
tai and labor have been brought into
closer relations of confidence and inter-
depepdence and the abuse of wealth,
the tyranny of power and all the evils
of privilege and favoritsm have been
nut 10 scorn by the simple, manly
virtues of Justice and fair play.
The great accomplishments OF Presl-
dent Roosevelt has been, first ana lore
most. IA brave and impartial enforce
mept of the law; the prosecution OF
illegal trusts and mOnopolies; the eH'
posure and punishment of evil-doers IN

DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM

We, the representatives OF the democ-
racy of the United States, in national
convention assembled, reaffirm our be-
lief in, and pledge our loyalty to, the
principles of the party.
We rejoice at the increasing signs OF
an awakening throughout the country.
The various investigations have traced
graft and political corruption to the
representatives of predatory wealth,
and laid bare the INSCRIPTIONS methods
by which they have debauched cleo
items and preyed upon defenseless
public through the subservient officials
whom they have raised to place and
power.
The conscience Of the nation is now
aroused to free the government from
the grip Of those who have made it a
business asset of the favor-seeking COR
porations; it must become again peo-
Pies government, and be administered
In oil its departments according to the
Jefersonian maxim of Equal rights

augurated, and pledge their contnu-
ance under a republican administration
of the government.
Under the guidance of republican
principles the American people have
become the richest nation in the world
Our wealth today exceeds that of Eng
| land and all her colonies, and that OF
| France and Germany com bined. When
the republican party was born the total
wealth of the country was $l6,0O0,0O0,-
600. 1t has leaped to $4,000, 100000
in a generation, while Great Britain
has gathered but 500, 600, 600, 900 in five
hundred years. The United States now
owns one fourth of the worlds wealth
and makes one-third of all modern
manufactured products. In the great
ness of civilization, such as coal the
motive power of all activity, iron, the
chief basis of all industry; cotton the
staple foundations of all fabrics: wheat,
corn and oil the agricultural products
that feed mankind, Americas suprem-
acy is undisputed. And yet her great
natural wealth has been scarcely
touched.
We have a vast domain of three mil
lion square miles, literally bursting
with latent treasure, still wanting the
magic of capital and industry to be
converted to the pratical uses of man
kind; country rich in soil and climate,
in the Embarrassed energy of its rivers
and in all the varied products of the
the forest and the factory.
With gratitude for Gods bounty, with
pride in the splendid productivenes~
of the past, and with confidence in the
plenty and prosperity of the future, the
republican party declares for the prin-
ciple that ia The development and en-
joyment of wealth so great and blessing
so benign there shall be equal oppor-
turnites for all.
