The platform adopted pledges the
party first to the preservation of the
"old nationalism." 1t condemns "al
attacks upon the Supreme court of the
United States"
1t 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 that
the Payne-Aldrich tariff law was q
breach of faith by the Republican
party and responsible for the high
cost of living. Only by a downward
revision of the tariff, 1t 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" II
says, lis overshadowed by the revela
lions of corruption forced from Re

The platform commits the party to
a thorough investigation OF all official
wrongdoing, that the guilty may be
punished and business relieved OF
blackmail."
