The Platforms Side By Side


1t would puzzle a philosopher from Mars to say just how.
Government strictly according to the Republican platform would
differ from one strictly according to the Democratic platform.
The Democratic announcement favors election Of Senators bv
the people, and says nothing about negroes. The Republican creed
is silent on the former subject and eloquent on the latter. The
Democrats congratulate Oklahoma and do not mention Lincoln
The Republicans congratulate Lincoln and omit Oklahoma.
Both platforms declare for immediate revision of the tariff and
suggest some modification of the use of injunctions in industrial
disputes.
If these are the lvest tissues" because they attracted mos
attention, the Democrats have the advantage in respect to both Of
them. On both topics a definite meaning may be attached to their
declaration, while no definite meaning can be extracted from the
Republican declaration ON either. Perhaps, however, in practical
politics, that is a disadvantage.
On the subject of industrial depression the Republicans score
heavily for while the Democrats charge them with responsibility
for it in only an indirect, h~alfhearted manner, the Republicans
boldly assure the country that had the Democrats been in power
the panic would have been twice as bad.
Comparison by parallel columns causes one mildly to wonder
why SO great pains are taken with a platform. Any intelligent
clerk in either camp could have framed an equally serviceabls
document, with the help of scissors and pastepot, in a couple of
hours. 1t appears, more conclusively than ever, that the campaign
is to be between Taft and Bryan.
