The platform adopted pledges tht
party first to the preservation Of tht
''old nationalism." 1t condemns cal
attacks upon the Supreme court of the
United States
It declares for sovereign state rights
and for the largest possible measure
of home rule FOR all cities of the
state"
1t denounces the Republican party
for its government Of the state. The
declaration of principles declares thai
the Payne-Aldrich tariff law was {
breach of faith by the Republican
party and responsible for the higt
cost Of living. Only by a downward
revision of the tariff, it is held, could
the cost of living be reduced
1t charges the Republican party
with extravaganza, especially in the
creation of many needless public Of
fees, and pledges the Democratic par
ty to retrenchment.
Even this gross extravaganza" il
says, lis overshadowed by the reveal
lions Of corruption forced from Re
publican legislature. This almost
made the legislature a kissing by
word throughout the nation"
The platform commits the party tt
a thorough investigation of all off1cia
wrongdoing, that the guilty may be
punished and business relieved OF
blackmail.''
I'VE declare in favor of statewide
primaries to insure to the people the
right to elect candidates and make
nominations for public Offices" the

actment of such measures as will com
pei the personal registration of voters
