parties; determination to wres2 the
conduct of public affairs from the
hands of selfish interests, political
tricksters and corrupt bosses and
make the government, as the founders
intended, IAN agency for the common

business was dealt a staggering blow
by the unmolested practice of stock
watering and dishonest financiering;
the cost of living has been increased
"by manipulation of trusts and by a
privilege-creating tariff" 1t holds
both old parties responsible for these
conditions. The platform disclaims
any intention to revolutionize the
American system of government but
