Impressions Remaining.

L think this convention leaves a
different impression than that given
by the Chicago convention. In that
convention the platform did not repre-.
sent what the reform element of the
party wanted, and when the conven
ton was over there was a feeling OF
discoursg lent n disappointment.
Sentiment of Reform Element.
But the democratic party in this
convention has given a platform that
| believe expresses the deliberate SEN
timent of that large and growing re-
form element in this country.
An Honest Campaign.
I'VE are going to commence our
campaign with the publicity plank in
tie Platform. a plank hat %nounc
an honest purpose and proclaims an
honest position. Our convention marks
a new era in American politics.
Public Elections.
"Henceforth the idea will grow that
elections are public affairs, and peo-
pie have a right to know what infiu-
ences are at work, and l am delighted
that our party has taken the Initiative.
and when the republican party in it's
convention, by a vote overwhelming,
turned down that proposition, the dem
ocratic by vote that was unanimous
endorsed it and made it one Of the
tenets of the faith.''

outside of New York and not include
them in the report of the national
treasurer, Mr.. Taft replied promptly
that it was possible to commit perjury
in such a case, but he secuted the idea
that the purpose of giving publicity to

strangers equally solicitous. Going out on the
