ciols Beginning OF a great career,

Alaska and Porto the people Of Alaska
Rico. and Porto Rico the
full enjoyment OF
the rights and privileges OF terri
torial form OF government. The OH.
Gals appointed L. adninister the gov
eminent OF all our territories and the
District OF Columbia should he thor
oughly qualined by previous bona id,
residence.
We favor the ap,
Hawaii. plicatlon OF princl.
pies OF land laws OF
the United States To our newly ac-
Quircd territory, Hawaii. to the end
that the public lands OF that territory
may be held and utilized FOR the ben.
eft OF bona tide homcsteaders.
We believe In the
Merchant upbuilding OF the
Marine. American and mer-
chant marine with
out new or additional burdens upon
the people and without bounties from
the public treasury.
We advocate the
Health Bureau. organization OF all
existing national
public health agencies into national
bureau OF public health. with such
power over sanitary conditions con.
nected with factories. mines. tene.
ments. child labor and other such sub.
jccts MS are properly within tho juris.
diction of the federal government and
do not Interfere with the power OF the
states controlling public health agcn-
cies.
We believe the
Panama Canal. Panama canal will
prove OF great value
to the country. and favor Its speedy
completion.
The Democratic
81 anu party fnvors the ex.
tension OF agricul.
1se"''o"' tural. mechanical
and Industrial education. We there

agricultural experiment stations. the
secondary agricultural and mechanical
colleges I'm the several states.
We favor fedora.
Post Roads. aid To state and In.
cal authorities I'm the

citizen holding n

PEELED TO manufacture under his patent
within certain time. similar restric-

Justice TO the surviving veterans and

private monopoly
Trusts. slndefensibleand lu-
tolcrable We there
fore favor the vigorous enforcement of
the criminal law against guilty trust
magnates ard officials AMI demand tn
enactment OF such additional lcgIsla-
ton as may be necessary TO make 1t
impossible for n private monopoly TO
exist I'm the United States. Among the
additional remedies we specify three
first, law preventing duplication OF
directors among competing corpora
lions; second, license system which
will, without abridging the right OF
each state to create corporations, or It's
right to regulate at will foreign cor
porations doing business within its
limits, make II necessary for manu-
featuring or trading corporation en-
gagged I'm Interstate commerce to take
out federal license before IL shall he
permitted to- control as much as y per
cent of the product In which 1t deals.
the license TO protect tho public from
watered stock and to- prohibit tho con
troll by such corporation OF more than
30 per cent OF the total amount Of any
product consumed I'm the United States,
and, third. law compelling such
licensed corporations 20 sell to all pur-
chasers I'm all parts OF the country on
the same terms, after making due al
lowance for cost OF transportation.
The Democratic
Conclusion. party stands for
Democracy; the Re
publican party has drawn TO Itself all
that IL aristocratic and plJtOcratic.
The Democratic party IS the cham
pion OF civil rights and opportunities
to all; the Republican party Is the
party Of privilege and private monop-
oily. The Democratic party listens to
the voice Of the whole people and
gauges progress by the prosperity and
advancement OF the average man: the
Republican party Is subseryicnt TO the
comparatively few who are the benefi-
Charles Of governmental fayoritism.
We invite the cooperation OF all. re-
CARELESS OF previous political afHla-
ton or past differences, who desire 10
preserve government OF the people,
by the people and for the people and
who favor such an administration Of
the government as wiz insure. rs far
as human wisdom can. thar each ciu-
zen shall draw from rocl,.y reward
commensurate win his contribution
to the welfare OF society.
