The Democratic Platform

A political party must be judged
by its platform quite as much as by
its candidates and the Democratic
platform this year is a document
which. in spite of its great length,
should be carefully considered by
thoughtful voters Some of the
planks are not materially different
from those in the Republican plat
form, such as control of the flood wa.
tiers of the Mississippi and greater
safety of life and property at sea.
The tariff plank is the one around
which the greatest controversy is
likely to rage. and here the issue
could not well be clearer. Not only
do the Democrats come out fatty for
a tariff for revenue only but they
declare 1t to be a fundamental prin-
ciple of the party that the govern
ment has no constitutional right to
impose or collect duties, notwith-
standing decisions of the supreme
court affirming the validity of pro-
tective tariff laws.
The Republican party. while recog-
nizing that some duties are too high
and should be reduced. stands
squarely in favor OF the principle of
"a protective tariff. II declares that
"the protective tariff is so woven in
TO the fabric of our industrial life
that we cannot afford to have a tar

tries and throw millions of our peo-
pie out of employment" II further
declares. I'VE hold that the import
duties should be high enough while
yielding a sufficient revenue to pro
tect adequately American industries
and wages"
The American people must decide
whether they are ready to dispense
entirely with protection and levy
duties. for revenue purposes only. or
whether they desire some measure
Of Europe. Complain as we may of
the abuses of protection, We know. if

In view OF the supreme courts de-
cision that the Hally amendment to
the home rule bill, providing for piece
stitutional, the city election commits
sion, Tuesday morning. voted unani-
mously to place only one proposition,
the Thompson -Hutchins franchise, on
the ballot at the special election to
be held Jan. %.
II was the opinion OF the commission
that nothing was to be gained by put
ting the Gilman municipal ownership
amendment and the Vernon civil SER
vice amendment on the ballot merely to
obtain an expression Of opinion from
the people, as the mayor had suggest
ed. That there is an overwhelming
sentiment for municipal ownership is
conceded by even the franchise advo-
Gates, and to vote on the Gilman bill,
when II lis known to be unconstitution-
al would be merely wasted effort. II
would serve, perhaps, to emphasize the
defeat OF the franchise. but there Is no
such disposition on the part of the
-rnaaicipalx ownership forces.
AS was to beuexpected, the franchise
advocates are arguing that the SUI
preme courts decision furnishes an ad-
ditional reason for voting for the fran
chise, In that II means another delay
in the effort to secure municipal own
ership and that the franchise gives the
people the benefit OF "three-cent'
fares, universal transfers and exten-
slons in the meantime. It's tempting
bait they hold out. but the people are
weary OF this kind OF talk and no
doubt will tell Mayor Thompson and
the d. u. r. just how they feel about
II. Jan. %.
The attempts of the evening fran
chise organ to convince the public
that the ID. u. R. doesn't want the
franchise and that everyone should
turn In and help cram 1t down the
company's throat" has turned many
people against the franchise who were
disposed to favor it before. The story
on its face is too silly for belief and
IL shows to what desperate straits the
franchise supporters have been driven
in the attempt TO check the wholesale
desertions from their ranks.
1T is all over but the shouting"
Mayor Thompson said the other day.
II is all over, but not in exactly the
same sense as the mayor meant. The
sentiment in all parts OF the city Is
decidedly anti-franchise and the peo-
pie seem to be just itching for a
chance to put the seal of their disap-
provai on the attempted grab.
Betting on the outcome of the vote
has not been very keen about town
the past few days. There Is plenty
OF anti.franchise money in evidence
but few takers.
For the first time in several weeks,
A. b. du Pont, of Cleveland, who act.
ed in an advisory capacity to Mayor
Thompson and Corporation Counsel
Hally during the secret negotiations

the need OF reinforcements and it
looks as though du Pont had been
sent for to lend a hand In the final
days of the campaign.

vogue in the mayors office, in the az
