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 resolu-
tons although the exact text will not
be made public until the platform 10
submitted to the convention.
The chief plank is devoted to de-
nunciation of the Republican tarih
and declaration for tariff for rev.
enue only. The Republican tariff is
described as ''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
Uses of 1908 for downward revision"
The trust plank favors vigorous
enforcement of the criminal features
of the antitrust law and demands I'M
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 is" 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 presi-
Dental preference primary and directs
the national committee to provide for
selections at primaries OF members OF
the national committee. 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 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
laton 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 national, rather than
q state problem.
A system of rural credits is favored
and an investigation of the agricul.
tural credit societies in Europe to find
suitable system is recommended.
The platform reaffims the party's
devotion to the principles of Jefferson
and felicitates the Democratic con-
gress on its record Of achievements.

be Madam Holock, the owner of one of

Frank Green in West Hammond. and
both were fined SIS and costs. The fact

The fact that they did not get any

JOHN TUBBS FELL
IN THE FLOWING BOWL
Or the Flowing Bowl Fell
in John Tubbs, or-Wel
Anyway.

John Tuhbs, a member of the Keeley
Cure Union No. 7S54e. was arrested for
the third time in the past four months
last night by Officer Borchert on a
charge of drunkenness.
So far John has made record for
himself in Hammond, but unless he
leaves the amber fluid alone in the
future his friends fear there will be a
sad ending for him. His record to date
on the police records read
Sept. . 1911. arrested for drunken
ness; released: first offense.
Nov. 8, 1911. arrested for drunken
ness; fired 81 and costs, $11. before
Judge Barnett.
Jan. 2. 1912. arrested for drunken
ness; fined $40 and costs by Judge
Barnett.
That's all. but John thinks that is
enough and he asked the court this
morning f he was given ''one more
chance" he would certainly reform.
Tubbs is employed as a painter. and
is said to be a skiIful workman when
he leaves the contents of the flowing
bowl alone
