THE ROCHESTER PLATFORM

Rochester. n. Y, Sept. S0-The most i'm
portant plank In the Democratic platform
adopted was that relating 10 direct nomi-
nations. It is as follows:
we favor Statewide direct primary
10 insure 10 the people the right to select
| political committees and nominate public
officers"
The platform, as presented 10 the con-
vention this afternoon, contains these
features:
It declares for the old natlonalism
against the new.
Defends the Supreme Court. eriticising
| Roosevelt
Defends the principle of State rights
Denounees graft among Republican
Legislators.
Charges Republicans in Office with gross
extravagances.
Pledges the Democratic party 10 an
economical administration.
Specifically accuses the Republican leg
/ islature OF gross corruption at Albany,
and asks how much more might be re-
vealed by honest. efficient. democratic
government.
Denounces Tariff Law.
OF the tariff it says: THE Payne-Ald-
rich law, pronounced by President Taft
10 be the best tariff that the Republican
party ever passed. was a fragrant breach
OF faith by the Republican party. The
bill even Increased the exactions of for
mer Republican tariffs and has placed
great additional burdens upon the shout
ders of the average man, thereby largely
contributing TO the present cost of living,
a cost out Of all proportion 10 the earn
ing capacity OF the great mass of the
people.
I'VE declare our belief that only an
honest revision downward Of the tariff
with proper regard for the welfare of the
American workingman, a reform which
will be effected only by the Democratic
party, can this excessive cost of living
be lessened and the necessaries Of life
again be brought within reasonable reach
of the people Of the country. The time
has come when special privileges 10 IA
vored classes should be abolished.
I'VE deplore a situation. clearly the re-
suit of uninterrupted Republican power,
which compels the citizens OF the United
States 10 pay a much larger price for
American made goods than is paid by the
people of other countries. Fourteen years
Of Republican rule in national affairs
have brought US TO a point where the
prices for the necessaries Of life are al
most without precedent in the history OF
the country.
Popular Election of Senator'S.
we favor the popular election of
United States Senators. We favor an
amendment TO the Federal Constitution
10 permit the imposition by Congress OF
an income tax. a tax which falls most
evenly upon the people In proportion TO
their ability 10 share in the expense
or government.
We recommend the extension and de-
velopment of the parcels post, so as TO
increase the weight and size of parcels
to be carried by United States mail

AGRICULTURAL NOTES.
By H. III. Schultz

Specialized farming pays better as
a rule than mixed farming.
Far sighted farmers in the RIO
Grande valley are starting orchards.
The smallest farmer should be able
to raise % TO so hogs year, and no
doubt the present pr1ce will stimulate
many who have not numbered a few
sows among their farm animals.
On many farms work horses ale

The more clay in a soil the easier it
is to puddle; the more humus the
harder. When a heavy soil is pIowed
too wet, the fine particles are pressed
together tightly and when evaporation
removes the moisture the texture is
destroyed and the soil becomes inca
pable of supporting plant life
In this region a farmer cannot be
far wrong if he plants more alfalfa
and fruit trees. hauls out the manure
and raises better cattle. horses and
hogs.
