Honest enterprise and honest toll need a
chance 10 attend 20 their own business
and George Gray is no meddlcr and can
be happy when he j. not engaged IN a

This man has the temperament. the love
OF justice and the lrmness Of principle

date In every part OF our broad country
The fourth and last day OF the CON
veDtion, Friday, July 10, brought the
vice presidential situation
to It's cruX. Judge W. ]. Gaynor Of
Brooklyn Is said 10 have refused til,
and IL was not until the rob

mite idea OF the ultimate result could
be had. Towne. now of New York,
was thought by easterners to have the
best chance, but John W. Kern of In.
diana proved the winner OF the high
honor. Kern has twice been candi
date for governor OF Indiana and once
for United States senator, but was de-
feated on each occasion.
Thomas r. Marshall, Democratic

sent TO the platform 10 offer Mr.. kern's
name. Mr.. Marshall paid tribute first
10 the platform of the conventioh next
% Mr. Bryan, then to Indiana, ana

Extracts From the Platform.
The platform Is considered by I'm
partial critics rs an unusually able
document. Considerable discussion
rose In committee over the plank re
erring to the issuance Of injunctions
n labor disputes. President Gompers
Il the American Federation of Labor
ould not secure the adoption OF the
plank on this subject that he de
jred. hut he succeeded In having ac'
epted compromise plank, consisting
t modification of his original one
are in part the planks rela'
I've to labor, corporations, publicity OF
contributions, tariff reform
to-:
Experience has proved the necessity OF
modification OF the present law reiat
az to injunctions, and we reiterate tne
ledge Of our national platforms OF bN
nd 1904 In favor Of the measure whlcf
assed the United States senate In 1896
ut which q Republican congress has ever
nee refused to enact relating to con
.mpts In federal courts and providing
,r trial by jury In cases of Indirect con
,mpt.
We deem that the parties to all judicial
should be treated with rigid
and that injunctions should
ot be issued In any cases In which IN
motions would not issue IL no Industrial
spute were involved.
We favor the eight hour day on all
,vernment work.
We pledge the enactment Of a genera
nployers' liability act
We pledge the Democratic party to the
OF law creating a depart
ent OF labor.
We favor immediate revision of the
riff by the reduction of import duties
rticles entering into competition with
ust controlled products should be placed
ION the free list and material reductions
ould be made In the tariff upon the
cessaries of life, especially upon arti,
- competing with such American manu-
ctures as are sold abroad more cheaply
an at home.
We pledge the Democratic party to the
actment Of a law preventing any cor
ration contributing to a campaign fund
d any individual from contributing an
Mount above a reasonable minimum and
DIVIDING for the publication before cleo
IN OF all such contributions above q
minimum
We demand such enlargement of the
wers OF the Interstate commerce COM
ssion as may be necessary to compel
lroads TO perform their duties as com.
N carriers and prevent discrimination
d extortion.
We demand that stop be put TO the
ghtful extravaganza In expenditures OF
bile moneys by the Republican party
4 insist upon the strictest economy In
ny department compatible with frugal
efficient administration.
We pledge ourselves 10 legislation under
ich the national banks shall be re-
red TO establish guarantee fund for
prompt payment OF the depositors OF
I insolvent national bank under an
litable system which shall be avail.
G TO all state banking institutions.
We favor an income tax aud the popu
election OF senator's, an adequate navy,
generous pension policy.
fe favor the vigorous enforcement of
criminal law against guilty trust
gnates and officials and demand the
ctment OF such additional legislation
may be necessary TO make II impossi-
for private monopoly to exist in tho
ted States.
'e are opposed to the admission OF Ash
immigrants who cannot be amiga
ed with our population or whose pres.
