FAIRLY BRISTIES
WITH PROGRESSIVE, DOCTRINE,

Baltimore. Nd, June 2s.-.Bristline
with Democratic progressiveism. the
platform on which the Democratic party
Will stand during the approaching cam
paign was completed late to-day by the
committee on resolutions. and awaits
only the approval OF the presidential
nominee 10 be presented to the conven-
ton.
The document is the result Of forty
eight hours OF elaboration on the part
OF the committee 1t is an almost en-
tirely new document. although the rec
concentrations OF the New York dele
CATION were followed in many partic-
ulars.
From frs, to last the committees
deliberations were characterized by tho
utmost harmony. There was the most
pronounced declaration in favor OF
progressive policies all along the line.
and the only difference of opinion arose
over the best method of expressing
this tendency. The result is plat
form OF generally advanced views. al
though many of them are less radical
than the party declarations OF other
years.
Covers Many Subjects.
The document covers every subject
of Importance which has been the SUBJ
ject of party discussion during the last
four years. They are not deliberately
presented. but the large number of sub
Jects renders ii somewhat voluminous.
The members of the committee ex
press general satisfaction with the out
come of their work, and Mr. Bryan. who
took most active part in framing the
paper, made the prediction that il
would arouse the disapproval of not to
exceed a dozen members of the conven.
ton.
Under the new rule adopted the plat
form will not be presented to the con-
vention until after the nomination OF
the candidates. Its submission will
follow the selection of a vice-presdcn e.
tial candidate.
The following is a summary Of the
planks OF the Democratic platform:
eafrms partys devotion to the
principles of democratic government.
as tormulate ted by jefferson.
Declares for a tariff for revenue only
and denounces the high Republican
tariff a s the principal cause of the une
quail distribution OF wealth"
Favors immediate downward revision
of present duties, especially upon nee
essaries of life. Also favors gradual
reduction so as to not interfere with
or destroy legitimate industries.
Denounces President Taft for veto
ing tariff bills OF the last Congress.
Condemns the Republican party for
failure TO redeem It's promises OF 1908
for downward revision.
Takes issue with the Republican
platform as to the high cost OF living,
contending II is largely due to high
tariff laws.
Favors Vigorous enforcement of the
criminal features of ANTITRUST law.
Would Crush Monopoly.
