A Vast Difference.

There is vast difference between
the platforms adopted by the Reubli-
cans at Chicago and the Democrats at
Baltimore. The Republican platform
is thoroughly reactionary and "stand-
pat. 1t does not concede that the last
Republican administrations have erred
in tneirs tariff policies, notwithstand-
ing the almost universal verdict Of the
country to the contrary. This plat.
form still pirates about protecting
American workmen." and "maintain-
ing the American standard Of wages. .
when every citizen with grain of in
telligence knows thai both Of these
are shams and hypocricles. The Re
publican platform also is evasive, SC
that in the remote event Of Republican
success at the polls. it could be inter
preted IN anv way the high tariff boss
es might want it interpreted.
The Democratic platform. on the
other hand, is specific and definite. Ii
pledges the party TO an exact policy,
without any attempt at evasion. 1t
promises, not to "revise the tariff, y
but to revise the tariff downward The
wording is so plain and definite that a
child could understand it's meaning and
intent. Here, briefly. are some of the
important promises in the Democrat
document:
IA tariff tor revenue only. In
mediate revision downward. Trust
controlled products to go on the free
list.
2-CIvil and NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. of

stock watering. Amendment to make

4.-Publicity for all recommendation
on which Presidential appointments are
made; for the ownership Of news
papers; and for all campaign funds in
national elections.
5-PresldentiaI primaries and popu-
lar election Of national committeeman.
The use of money by corporations at
e'ections to be made unlawful.

When the trouble was at its height. my back ached in. tensely and after I stopped, it was hard for me to assume an erect position. Doan's Kidney Pills were finally brought to my attention and I procured a supply, Ip a short time after beginning to use them, received relief.

ed by applause. consumed nearly two hours and was listened to with close attention. There was a noticeable ab- sence of the noise, catcalls and other disturbances of the usual party con vention. The delegates were listening to their leader. and they really lis- tened.
 Negro Question Vexes Delegates.
 Before the convention started east ern negroes joined with their brothers from the south in denunciation of cer- tain proceedings at an all night meet Ing of the credentials committee when the last of the southern negro dele gates were barred from the floor of the convention by a close vote by mem bers of the committee.
 The vote stood IT to 16 against the negroes-those from Mississippi-and immediately Julius T. Mitchell of Rhode Island and other eastern ne- groes joined in crying that the decid- ing ballot in the vote had been cast by a questionable proxy on the com mittee. The negroes indignantly an nounced that they would carry the matter to Colonel Roosevelt for a per sonal ruling on the point.
 Vote After All Night Session.
 The vote on the Mississippi case came in q secret session of the committee at 8 a. m., few hours after both white and negro delegations from Florida had been barred from the convention.
 Several of the negroes in the busted delegation were among the delegates to the Republican national convention who stood by Colonel Roosevelt and deserted the Republican convention in Chicago to attend the first Progressive meeting, when plans were made for the third party.
 The rules committee of the conven- don adopted the suggestion of Colonel Roosevelt that the basis of representa- ton in future Progressive conventions be changed. Instead of one delegate for each congressman and senator as in this convention, or two delegates for each congressman and senator, as in the conventions of the old parties, the new rules provide that one dele gate be named for each congressman and senator and that in addition one delegate be chosen for each 10000 votes cast for the Progressive party in the last preceding election.

PRESIDENT TAFT HITS ROOSEVELT AND WILSON
Declares They Are Both Headed
 Toward Socialism ."

President Taft was formally noti- fed of his renomination at the White House. Tn accepting the nomination the president delivered an address ln which he outlined the issues In the coming campaign.
 The president declared that the preservation of the constitution and the maintenance of an independent judiciary constitute the supreme issue In this contest and called on Repub- ucans and Democrats alike to join in combating the menace offered by the candidates of Theodore Roosevelt and Woodrow Wilson. The president as serted that both Roosevelt and Wilson are headed toward socialism.
 '"The truth is," said he, both those who have left the Republican party under the Inspiration of their present leader and our old opponents, the Dem ocrats under their candidate, are going in a direction they do not definitely know, toward an end they cannot definitely describe, with but one chief and clear object, and that Is of acquir Ing power for their party by popular support through the promise of a change for the better"
 The president added that hostility to the Judiciary and measures to take away its power and independence con- sdtute the chief definite policy that can fairly be attributed to that class of reformers "whose absorption and control the Republican party escaped at Chicago and the Democratic party yielded to at Baltimore"
 The president did not mention Roose- welt by name In his entire address, but 1t was full of Indirect references to him and to his followers.
 The president repeatedly referred to Roosevelt and the bull moose party as the former Republicans who have left their party" This phrase occurred so often in his speech that the presidents desire to make it stick was apparent Indirectly he referred to Roosevelt as 8 demagogue
