RAILROAD REGULATION.

We assert the right OF Congress to ex-

within It's borders.

heartily approve the laws prohibiting the

favor such legislation as will increase
the power OF the Interstate Commerce
commission giving to II the initiative
with reference to rates and transporta-
ton charges put into effect by the rail-
road companies and permitting the In
terstate Commerce commission on its
own initiative to declare rate illegal

charged for such service. That the
present law relating thereto Is in ade-
quate by reason Of the fact that the
Interstate Commerce commission is
without power to fix or investigate a

by the shipper.
We further declare that all agree

PUBLICITY OF CAMPAIGN CONTRI-
BUTTONS.

we demand federal legisla ton termin-
ating the partnership which has existed
between corporations of the country and
the Republican party under the express
ed or implied agreement that in return
for the contribution of great sums of
money. with which to purchase elections
they should be allowed to continue sub
stan,iallV unmolested in their efforts to
cncroach upon the right of the people.
Any reasonable doubt as to the existence
OF this relation has been forever dispelled
by the sworn testimony of witnesses ex-
amined In the insurance investigation In
New York, and the open admission I'M
challenged by the republican national
committee of a single individual that he
himself at the personal request OF the
republican candidate for the presidency
raised over "A quarter of a million dollars
20 be used in n single day during the
closing hours of the last campaign. In
order that this practice shall be stopped
for all time we demand the passage Of II
statute Furnishing with Imprisonment any
officer of a corporation who shall either
contribute on behalf of or consent to the
contribution by a corporation of any
money or thing OF value to he used in
furthering the election OF a president or
a vice-presldent of the United States or
any member Of Congress thereof.
We denounce the action of the Repub-
lican party, having complete control Of
the federal government, for its failure to
pass the bill introduced in the last Con-
gress to compel the publication Of the
names of contributors and the amounts
contributed toward Congress funds. and
point to the evidence of their nsincerity,
when they sought by an absolutely irrele-
want and impossible amendment to de-
feat the passage of the l i'll as further
evidence of their intention to conduct their
campaign In the coming contest with
vast sums Of money wrested from favor
seeking corporations, We call attention
to the fact that the recent republican ma
tional convention at Chicago refused
when the plank was presented to 1t TO
declare against such practices.
We pledge the Democratic party to the
enactment of a law preventing any cor
pOration contributing to campaign
fund and any individual from contribute
ing an amount above a reasonable mini
mum and providing for the publication
before election OF all such contributions.

CONCLUSION.

The Democratic party stands for
democracy; the republican has drawn
to itself all that is aristocratic and
plutocratic.
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
guages progress by tho prosperity
and advancement of the average man;
the Republican party is subservient to
the comparatively few who are the
beneficiaries OF governmental favor
itism. We invite the cooperation of
all, regardless of previous political
aftiliation or past differences who de-
sire to preserve government of the
people by the people and for the peo-
Pile, and who favor such an adminis-
tration OF the government as Will in
sure as far as human wisdom can,
that each citizen shall draw from So
ciety reward commensurate with
his contribution to the welfare OF So
ciety.

no less than crime against the mil

and, recognizing that each possesses
every qualification to successfully main

THE MISUSE OF PATRONAGE.

We condemn as a violation OF the
spirit of our institutions the action
of the present chief executive In using
the patronage Of his high office to Sc
cure the nomination of one OF his cab
met officers. A forced succession in
the p, esidency Is scarcely less repug-
nant to public sentiment than Is life
tenure in that office. No good inten-
ton on the part of executive and no
virtue In the one selected can Justify
the establishment Of n dynasty. The
right of the people TO freely select
their officials is unattainable and can
not be delegated.

The constitutional provision that n navy

rights may be In jeopardy.
