Indianapolis, Ind.-For the third time in her life of 59 years, the wife of America Massey, former slave who lives with George Laswell at Min nesota street and Churchman avenue. has turned from black to white.
 The first 16 years of her life were spent in slavery as a housemaid and as she can remember nothing about her parents she does not attempt to explain the mystery which has baffied everyone who has seen her, as well as numerous physicians who have exam, ined her.
 Having completed the third transfor nation Mrs. Massey is now of fair complexion. Her skin is not light iu patches, but Is completely white with the exception of three small brown spots on the right side of her face and one on the left. A tint of pink on each cheek adds bit of color to her appearance and the curly hair, which is gray only in patches, brings addi- tional contrast When working about the house she rolls her sleeves, show. ing arms winter than would be ex pected on woman with fair skin
 In making the first complete change from black 10 white and then from white to black, as well as in the sec ond complete change. Mrs. Massey says she noticed an itching sensation of the skin before the appearance of the spots dark or light. as the case might be
 Although she has not as yet noticed the accompanying itching sensation, the appearance of the little spots on the face has given her ground for fear that the reverse process in the third transformation may not be far off.

Democratic Party Defends Honest
 Wealth

We may expect those who have com m.tted larceny by law and purchased inn munity With their political influence. to attempt to raise false issues. and to em- ploy the livery of heaven" to conceal their evil purposes but they can no long CT deceive. The Democratic party is not the enemy Of any legitimate industry or of honest aCcumulations. It is, on the contrary, a friend of industry and the steadfast protector of that wealth which represents service to society. The Democratic party does not seek to an- rthlate all corporations, il simply asserts that as the government creates corpora tons. II must retain the power to regu- late and to control them, and that it should not permit any corporation to convert itself into a monopoly. Surely we should have the cooperation of all legitimate corporations in our effort to protect business and industry from the odium which laWless combinations of capital Will. if unchecked. cast upon them. Only by the separation of the good from the bad can the good be made se-

 He told me the other day that he could hardly understand the rage that possessed him against every petty lit tie insignificant dealer that had cheat ed him He said f was like the rage of q waiter that he had noted one afternoon at luncheon.
 At luncheon. MT Evans said. he called his walters attention 10 a dead fy in some dish or other.

A Platform Is Bindinq.

II elected. regard it's declarations as biud- ing upon me And, | may add d plat form Is binding aS 10 what IL uuits as well as to what it contains. According to the Democratic idea. the people think for themselves and select officials to car " out their wishes The voters are the sovereigns: the officials are the servants. employed for fixed time and at stated salary to do what the soVereigHs want done, and to do il in the way the SOW ereigns want it done. Platforms are entirely in harmony with this Democratic Idea. A platform announces the partys position on questions which are at issue; and an official is not at liberty to use the authority vested in him to urge personal views which have not been submitted to the voters for their approval If one IS nominated upon platform which is not satisfactory to him, he must, If candid either decline the nomination, or in ae- cepting it, propose an amended platform in lieu of the one adopted by the con Nention. No such situation, however, confronts your candidate, for the plat form upon which | was nominated not only contains nothing from which I dis sent. but 1t specifically outlines all the remedial legislation which We can hope To secure during the next four years
 As l shall. in separate speeches discuss the leading questions al issue l shall at this time coutine myself to the paramount question. and to the far reaching pur- pose of our party, as that purpose is set forth in the platform.

Democrats Have Earned Confidence.

If the voters are satisfied with the record of the Republican party and with its mana agement of public affairs we can not reasonably ask for change in ad- miuistration; f. however. the voters feel that the people as a whole have too lit- tie influence in shaping the policies of the government; if they feel that great combinations Of capital have euCrO1ched upon the rights Of the masses. and em- ploved the iHstrumeHtalities of govern ment to secure an unfair share of the to- tai wealth produced. then ~e have a right to expect q verdict against the Re publican party and in favor of the Demo- cratic party. for .our party has risked de- feat-aye. suffered defeat in it's effort 10 arouse the conscience Of the public and to bring about that very awakening to which Mir.
