The club declared in favor of these

state platform.
But when the clubs representatives
appeared before the committee they
found it com POSED principally of men
who represented the traction and 9TH

We're turned down in their requests
for these planks. Not single one of
the planks appears in the platform.
The traction interests and other great
corporations and combines absolutely
dominated the resolutions committee
and labor did not even get look in. .
1t was this that caused the club TO
hold its Indignation meeting which APP
pointed a committee to see to it that
nominations for the legislature were
made of men on whom ,ney could re-
ly to work for these reforms in spite
of the state platform.
This specter has now arisen to stare
the democrats in the face. The or

any more reactionary politics. The
