TARIFF is THE CHIEF
PLANK OF PLATFORM
Protection Principle is Denounced az
Cause Of Uneven Distribution Of
/ Wealth In United States.

Baltimore The Democratic plat.
form, containing about 5000 words,
was completed Friday night. The ma.
ture OF the planks was given out by
members Of the committee on resol,I-
lions although the exact text will not
be made public until the platform is
submitted to the convention.
The chief plank Is devoted to de-
nunciation Of the Republican tariff
and a declaration for tariff for rev.
enue only. The Republican tariff is
described az "the principal cause Of
the uneven distribution OF wealth
The plank favors gradual reduction
and an immediate downward revision
OF the present duties upon the neces-
saries Of life. President Taft Is de-
nounced for vetoing the tariff bill Of
the last congress and the Republican
party for failure to redeem IT'S prom
ises Of 1908 for downward revision"
The trust plank fayors vigorous
enforcement of the criminal features
Of the antitrust law and demands Inn
mediate legislation necessary TO crush
private monopolies.
The people are urged to support the
proposed constitutional amendments
providing for an income tax and the
election Of United States senators by
direct vote. Complete publicity of
campaign expenditures is demanded,
attention being directed to the alleged
enormous sums spent by the candi-
dates in the recent Republican contest
for the nomination. The policy of the
Republicans in seeking to enlarge the
powers of the federal government is
severely criticised on the ground that
the states should not be deprived OF
their rights.
There u.s." says the platform. mo
twilight zone between the nation and
the state, between which exploiting in
terests can take refuge from both"
The platform declares for a presi-
dental preference primary and directs
the national committee to provide for
selections at primaries of members of
the national committee. A single pres
idential term with the president made
ineligible to reelection is favored.
The Republican administration is
attacked on the charge of extrava-
gance in congress with a democratic
form of government.
The Aldrich bill passed by the none
tary commission comes in for con-
domination. The Democratic party is
pledged to the enactment of law for
deposits of government funds by com.
petitive bidding in state or national
banks without discrimination as to
locality.
The party is Pledged to enact legis.
lation aimed to provide some effec-
tive means Of controlling the Missis.
sippi river In order to prevent the de-
vastation OF the valley by floods. This
is regarded as a national, rather than
a state problem.
A system of rural credits is favored
and an investigation of the agricul.
tural credit societies in Europe to find
a suitable system is recommended,
The platform reaffints the party's
devotion to the principles of Jefferson
and felieitates the Democratic con-
gress on it's record of achievements.
