against trusts and trust officials and
demand the enactment of additional
Legislation as may be necessary to
make it impossible for private mon
opoly to exist in the United States"
The powers of the individual states
gets a paragraph in the platform. The
republican party is charged with at.
tempting to usurp these rights and to
increase the power of the federal gov
eminent.
Legislation in each state which will
permit the expression by the people
of their preference for the electors
of candidates at the primaries is urg-
ed. The. national committee Is d.
rected to incorporate in it's call for
,quirement that the preference for
presidential candidates and for COM
mitteemen shall be by primary cleo
,tions.
A single term for presidents is
favored and it is urged that consti-
,tutional amendment be adopted max
ing a president ineligible for re-elec-
ton.
A question which receives no little
consideration is that of rural credits.
An investigation of agricultural cred
its in foreign countries for the pur-
pose of ascertaining whether or not
a system of rural credits might be es-
tablished in the United States. Legis-
lation to permit national banks to
lend on real estate security, is also
favored.
The Alaska coal lands come in for
treatment. The platform urges that
congress. should take immediate &C
ton to make available the vast and
valuable coal deposits in that region
under conditions that will be a guar
anty against their falling into the
hands of monopolizi1g corporation.
A merchant marine which will
strengthen the commercial ties which
bind America to other republics in
the Western hemisphere, is favored
However, no additional burdens are
to be placed on the people by way of
taxation. The exemption from Panac
ma canal tolls for American vessels
also is favored. Railroads engaged
in competing with the canal should
not be permitted to send their ships
through it.

final arrangements with Iuan Sni
kai Later on we received telegram
from Pekin demanding that the Re
nnhlican government should be DIS
solved within two days after the an
dieaticn Of the throne.
.Sfmilar terms will never again be Oh
ferea to the Manchus unless these are
accepted. This is quite impossible To
disarm and send back to bondage the
whole people of this country, it is nov
! too late.
1--WE will never submit to the dietauoh
of the Manchus or of Yuan Shi Kai. The
Republican movement is now represented
nv X nroyinces. Three hundred and fifty
million people in China are heart and
soul with the republic aud are implac-
| ably opposed to Manchu rule. The three
! rn,naining nrovinces-Ho Nan, Shan Tung
and Chi Li-are certainly our adhtrents.
The Chinese troops in the Imperial army
who are now supposed to be loyal TO
Yuan Shi Kai are really Republicans ana
will Join us at the proper time.
Evidently, as Yuan Shi Kai was de-
termined to establish his own government
at Pekin and was being assured Oh the
sunnort of outside influences, he intended
| to ignore the republican government ana
| break the agreement to which ne mao
| assented.
1.-THE provincial governors, the Nauona'
Assembly at Marking and the military
! leaders absolutely refused. Hence our
changed demand that Yuan Shi kai must
| surrender the sovereign powers OF the
throne and that the foreign powers must
| recognize the Republican government be-
fore Yuan Shi Kai could be elected Pres
ident of the republic.
| "If Yuan Shi Kai. however. was UNI
| able to await the recognition OF the re-
| public by the foreign powers, l agreed
| TO proceed to Pekin and discuss settle
ment with Yuan Shi Kali or that Yuan
Shi Kai should come to Marking.
1--WE control all the treaty ports except
| Tien Tsin and Nh Chwang, which are ice
bound The republic, in fact, is protect
| ing the vast majority of foreigners and
| foreign property. Why, then, should not
/ the foreign powers promptly recognize
| the republic?
1.-THE foreign powers, especially the
! United States have always spoken oil
/ their friendship for China. We pledge
| good will and the observance of all trea-
ties made by and with the Manchus. we
| will discharge every obligation Of the
| open door in China.
| There is no danger now that the con-
vietion may be inferred upon the people
! of China that the foreigners are merely
friends and supporters Of the Manchus
| The atmosphere of Pekin is not the at
mosphere of China, but we feel that the
| former is now pervading the chanceries
| of Europe and America
| President sun Vat Sen evidently ex-
poets early recognition from one ,of the
| leading powers. Meanwhile the massins
| of troops to the north of the Yang Use
| river continues. 1t is estimated that the
Republican force of all arms now num-
bers over 100000.
Elaborate plans are on foot for the inn
Iprovement of Marking. The educationa
| department has concluded the drafting
| of the program of the government and
| the provisional constitution has beer
nearly completed.
