publican convention In Chicago has
been put away In the shade.
The psychological moment for the
abandonment Of all restraint came
when the blind senator from Okla
homa declared from the platform that
his state had rejected the advice OF
Taft and accepted Bryan.
The Nebraska delegation carried
Bryan's picture around the hall and
waved 1t from the platform. March.

The full report will be made today
The platform. as the report document

presented to the convention during

planks that have been flushed and
agreed to:
We the representatives OF the De.
mocracy OF the United States, In ma

rejoice at the increasing signs OF an

the appropriations exceed the total ex-

We denounce the needless waste OF

shameful violation OF all prudent con-
siderations OF government and as NO
less than crime against the millions
OF workingmen and women, from

can platform contains no reference to
economical administration or promises
thereof in the future. We demand
that a stop be put to this frightful
extravagance and insist upon rigid ap
plications of the strictest economy IN
every department compatible with
frugal, though efficient administra-
ton.
Government by Office-holders.
CoinCident with the enormous in
crease In expenditures is a like al
dition to the number of office-hold.
ers During the last year 23,7S4 were
added, costing SIG, $4,000 and in the
laS six years of Republican admins
tration the total number OF new OF
ficers created. aside from many COM
missions, has been 993l9. entailing an
additional expenditure Of nearly $7O.-
600 600. as against only 1929 new
offices created under the Cleveland
administration and Mckinley admins
tration. involving an expenditure oe
only $6,000.000.
We denounce this great and grow
ing increase in the number OF office
holders as not only unnecessary anu
wasteful. but also as clearly indlcal-
ing a deliberate purpose on the part
of the administration To keep the Re
publican party in power at public ex'
pense by thus increasing the number
OF its retainers and dependents. Such
procedure we declare To be no less
dangerous and corrupt than the open
purchase of votes at the polls.
We believe that the tariff SEIZED.
ules. the prolific mother OF trusts and
monopolies. should be at once revised,
TO the end that special privileges may
be- stopped, that trusts and monopo-
lies may be destroyed, and that the
free competition, the equality or OPP
portunity and the spirit OF individual
ism. which have so largely built up
the country, should at once again.
throw open the door Of hope TO the
ordinary citizen of our country. This
transcends in importance ali other Ia
sues in this campaign.
We believe. TO the end that export
trade should be increased and that
closer and more cordial relations
should be established with other M
lions. that the policy OF reciprocity
should be extended as far as Is con
sistent with preserving here the stan
dard of living and the present scale
