It denounces the grow ing increase of offceholders under the republican administration as indicating a deliberate purpose to contiiue the re- publicans in power; demands that the House of Representatives shal again be- come deliberative body contoled by a majority of the members, and not by the speaker; favors an immediate beral and comprehensive plan for improing every water course in the union conlemns the action of the present chief executive in using the patronage of his hgh office to secure the nomination of ne of his cabinet officers; pledges the paty to the enactment of a law to regulate the rates and services of telegraph and telephone companies calls for honest ant rigid en- forcement of the civil service laws; fa- vors the immediate admission f Arizona and New Mexico as separate tates; de- clares that rules and regulations in rela- ton to free grazing lands sho1d be left to the people of the states yhere the of agricultural, mechanical andindustrial of agricultural mechanical andindustrial education; believes in the uphiilding of the American merchant marin without new or additional burdens upor the peo- pie ana WlInOuI DOuIllleS lIbll lliC pop- lie treasury; favors the application of the principles of the land laws of be United States to Hawaii, in the interest Of homesteaders demands for the people Of Alaska and Porto Rico the full enjoy ment of the rights and provisions or territorial form of govern nene fayors federal aid in the construction ald main- tenance of postroads; deprecates the use of the navy for the collection O private debts, and advocates the organization or all existing national public healh agen- cies into a national bureau of helth; in- sists upon the full protection of our citi- zens at home and abroad, and demands that all over the world a duly authorized passport issued by the government or the United States to an American citizen shall be proof of the fact that le Is an American citizen and shall enttle him to the treatment due him as suol.
 The democratic party stands for de- mocracy; the republican party has drawn to itself all that is aristocratic and pluto cratic. The democratic party is tfr cham pion of civil rights, and opportunities to all. the republican party Is the Iarty or privilege and private monopoly. The dem ocratic party listens to the voice Of the whole people and gauges progress oy the prosperity and advancement of the aver age man: the republican party IS suo- servient to the comparatively few who are the beneficiaries of governmental ia. voritsm. We invite the cooperation or all. regardless of previous political ar fliation or past differences, who desire to procure a government of the people, py the people, and for the people, and who favor such an administration of the gov ernment as will insure, as far as human wisdom can, that each citizen shall draW from society a reward commensurate "ith his contribution to the welfare or soeieeS.

Natural Resources.


 We repeat the demand for internal de- velopment and for the conservation of our natural resources, contained in previous platforms, the enforcement of which MT Roosevelt has vainly sought from a re- luetant party, and to that end we insist upon the preservation, protection and re- Ilacement of needed forests, the preser- vation of the public domain for home seekers the protection of the natural re- sources in timber, coal, iron and oil, asainst monopohstic control, the develop maat of our waterways for navigation and every other useful purpose including inc irrigation of arid lands, the reclama- ton of swamp lands, the classification of streams, the development Of Water-power and the preservation of electric power gen. erated by this natural force from the control Of monopoly and to such end we urge the exercise of all powers, national. state and municipal, both separately and In cooperation
 We insist upon a policy of administra- tion of our forest reserve which shall re- lieve 1t of the abuses which have arisen hereunder, and which shall as far as practicable conform to the police regula- tons of the several states where they gre located, which shall enable homc- steaders as of right to occupy and acquire title to all portions thereof which are especially adapted to agriculture and which shall furnish system of tmber sales available as well to the private citizen as to the larger manufacturer and consumer.
 Trusts.
 private monopoly is indefensible and intolerable.
 We, therefore favor the vigorous en- forcement of the criminal law against guilty trust magnates and officials and demand the enactment of such additional legislation as may be necessary to make 1t impossible for private monopoly to

Income Tax.

We favor an income tax as part of our revenue system. and we urge the submis- sion of a constitutional amendment spe- officially authorizing congress to levy and collect a tax upon individual and corpo- rate incomes to the end that wealth may bear it's proportionate share of the bur dens of the federal government.
