A POLITICAL PLATFORM


A few friends and have figured out
political platform that looks good to
us. Now all we want is a candidate.
Anybody who should run on this tic.
ket wouldn't be pledged 10 anything
any more than if he were running ON
one of the big party platforms. Here
it is:
On the tariff-We believe in read
justing the tariff schedules just as soon
as we can get Speaker cannon's con-
sent either to let the bill pass or to re-
tire from congress to weil-earned OBJ
security.
On labor-We believe that no in
junction against strike ought to be
issued unless the judge of the court
asked to enjoin believes it necessary 10
believe it necessary and that no in
junction should ever be issued that
will annoy anybody any more than he
will stand for without creating more
trouble than would have been created
if the injunction had not been issued.
On government ownership-We be-
lieve in government ownership of rail-
roads at some future time, if the peo-
pie at that time, whenever it is, want
it and can get it into political plat
form and elect their ticket and can
hold the party to the platform agree
ment We believe in government own
ership of telegraphs, but do not think
the government can afford to employ
some of the messenger boys now in
service. We believe also in govern
ment ownership of senators and rep
resentatives, private ownership of
whom has done great injury to the
country in many instances.
On elections-We believe United
States senator's should be defeated by
the people rather than by legislative
majorities We believe that when a
man is kept out of the senate, even
if somebody else is elected, the whole
people should be given the credit in
stead of a few legislators taking to
themselves all the glory
Our foreign policy-We believe that

On the Brownsville episode-We
deeply deplore the discharge of the

the man who persistently makes trou-
BILE for other people. We believe that
the depositors in banks should have
some sort of assurance that they will
get their money back and not be paid
in milk tickets, trading stamps and

Wife SEEKS
FOR REVENGE

PARIS, Feb 2S.--The police of
this city have received from New
York warrant for the arrest of
Paul Roy on the charge of murder.
This charge is made by Roy's wife,
an American actress known as
Glacria Gala, who declared that he
murdered her brother, George Car
kins, early in January, in New
Hampshire. The warrant has not
yet been served. The French law
does not permit the extradition of
citizens, but provides for their trial
and punishment in France for crime
committed abroad. Roy's brothers
point out that his marriage to Miss
Garkins is illegal in France, as he
had not previously obtained the
consent Of his parents, and they say
that he will apply for diverse in
America on the grounds that his
wife misrepresented her age at the
time of her marriage. swearing she
was 81. when in reality she was 81
years of age.
In addition to declaring that Pau
| Roy was forced to shoot Carkins In
self-defense. the Roy family charge
that the accusation of murder
brought by Roy's wife is taken in {
spirit of revenge because her hus
band informed her he did not Intend
