THE$pEMocRATlC PLATFORM. /

Hs$ IT He De MOOnA ~ - - 800 ~
The platform + to be submitted to
the Democratic convention today ap
,propriately recognizes fi:e great IS
sues. They are the extorsionlaste
tariffs, the lawless trusts, the high
cost Of living, the third term ana
the proposed Aldrich bank.
BY its own fragrant record, no tes :
than by its recent declaration Of
principles, Republicanism is boas fol !
Of the tariff, apo'ogetic as to the
trusts, mendacious as to the cost
Of living, split vide open as 10 the he
third term, and insincere and devious
in its advocacy Of what amounts 70
a new Bank Of the United States
controlled, as the earlier oaes wee,
by private interests.
/, Enabled by circumstances thus TO
take familiar ground against privilege
monopoly, oppression imperialism and
money misused, Democracy's faith Is
courageously, plainly and soberly
stated throughout. If it: be progress
that the people demand, they will I'm I
in this pronouncement a more ad1anc
ed stand than any group Of self
styled progressiyes can he expected
to take. If the errors of Republican
ism are to be corrected, those who
participated in them and long profit.
ed by them are hardly to be intrust-
ed with the task. s. Il al
q The Democratic platform invites at
tention at once to the fact that the
question before the people is not the
personal quarrel between Messrs.
Taft and Roosevelt, or the disagree
Inent between the eastern and west
ern branches of the Republican party.
It is the perfidy Of the controlling
element OF the Republican organiza.
ton. 1t is the wicked subserviency
of the organization to selfish in'er-
ests 1t is the timidity and ineffi-
cheney of the organization as pre-
tended champion of public rights. It
is Republicanism's broken pledges. It
is a Nation betrayed.
There would be no excuse for a

BRYAN SUPERB AT BALTIMORE

When the small dickering .politi-
clans OF the democratic party select.
ed Mr.. Parker for temporary chair.
man of the Baltimore convention,
they placed the future Of the demo
cratic party in a very uncertain bal
ance. There is not room enough in
this or any other country for more
one conservative standpat party. When
the progressive forces In the Chicago
Convention were overthroWn and the
candidate of the priviledged and pre-
Jdatory classes renominated the way
h was made clear for progressive plaI-
form and a progressive candidate at
Baltimore If common horse sense was
4 to govern the deliberations Of that
convention. But the way the con-
Vention started out it looked for a
time as though uncommon nonsense
was to prevail, and uncommon non
sense might have prevailed had it
not been for the stand taken by the
great commoner, William J. Bryan.
He became the one great unfraid
fighter. With matchless eloquence
he inveighed against the crafty
prepared program of his oppo-
nents. On the first roll call
lie was beaten by a few votes,
largely because every candidate except
Governor Wilson was afraid to an
tagonize the national COMMITTEE and
the candidate of it's selection for TEN
porary chairman; but with the magic
OF right on his side Mr.. Bryan easily
won from that time on until this
writing. At this writing the result
still hangs in the balance with Will
son slightly in the lead, but come
what may Mr. Bryan has rendered TO
his countrymen the greatest service
OF his life, in rebuking and over
throwing the predatory elements that
sought to control the democratic
party. and make it duplicate OF the
republican party.
