drawing ever nearer from European
shores, it is imperative that we be
individually and collectively prepared
to defend our nation. We do not
court war, but when foreign nations
infringe upon our rights and liber-
ties, we would not be American citi-
zens if we did not obtain satisfaction
either peacefully or forcibly. We are
taught in childhood that it is the
duty of every American citizen to
defend his country. In order TO ac-
tually defend our country, it is neces-
sary that we be prepared to resist
all Entertainments upon our rights
and liberties thereby insuring for
our country liberty, prosperity and
peace"
The celebration was held under the
auspcesN of the Elks The capitol
building had been deliberately deco
rated for the occasion bunting cover

banners and flowers draped the bal
cony, from which the Indian School
band rendered appropriate music dur
ing the intervals between the
speeches. At eight fifteen, the Elks
arrived in body, taking their as
signed places. The officers and the
speakers took their places upon a
bunting draped platform, which had
been erected for the occasion. and i'm
mediately the program was begun.
With the band playing a patriotic air,

planks as a court Of arbitral justice
Ia which all disputes between nations
should be referred
While the platform would deal with
the peaceful settlement of disputes
between nations, it would be out
spoken in its declarations that the
navy should be Of sufficient proper
ton and efficiency to make effective
the Monroe doctrine and that the
standing army should be Of sufficient
strength to secure the country against
unexpected aggression.
The platform in the same connec-
ton would declare for a sufficient re-
serve force to secure the nation
against invasion and aggression at all
times. Coupled with this declaration
for n strong army and navy would be
"a straightforward pronouncement
against all wars of ACKNOWLEDGMENT
and against violations of territorial
aggression This would be intended
as a declaration to the world that the
United States as the foremost spolles-
man for peace and judicial settlement
Of disputes. makes its military prep
aratiors not for aggression but for
defense.
Touching internal questions the
platform would declare for an eight
hour DAY for workingmen and also
civil service pensions with declara-
ton that the government should care
for those upon whom it depends to
man its operating machinery. One
PLANK would deal with child labor and
another would advocate legislation in
the interest of labor in all goTeTn-

sides praising the present tariff law 1t
is planned to declare for a protective
tariff for the dyestuff industry for a
period Of probably five years.
Some of the democrats expect con-
test in the committee over such a pro-
tective feature but it will be pointed
out that no dyestuff industry of pro-
portions now exists in America and
that the duties are intended solely TO
protect the new industry from the
dumping of European dyes which is
expected to follow the war and the re-
sumption Of ocean transportation from
the central empires.
Conferences among leaders which
have followed the arrival of Secretary
Baker with first hand words from
President Wilson. on many features of
the declaration of principles brought
the status of the democratic platform
tonight to a point where aside from
the all important issue of foreign af
fairs it s.ood substantially as follows:
No specif mention would he made of
No specific mention would be made of
cred by implication in general declara-
tions outlining relation of the United
States with other governments. This
portion of the platform would declare
unequivocally for the right of every
nation to regulate it's own internal af-
fairs and would point out that this
government would be satisfied with
nothing less for itsef.
Rights of American citizens would
be dealt with in a long plank declar-
ing for their protection at home and
abroad In a defense of Americas

some terms, but it is certain to be the
subject of extended and careful de-
liberation.
While the resolutions committee was
in session tonight, Samuel A. King
of Utah arose and made this statement:

his plank will be mine. ] expect to go

The following sub committee to draft
the platform was named: Senator
Stone of Missouri, chairman; Repre-
sentative Rainey of Illinois; Senator
Walsh of Montana: Senator Pomerene

! Palmer of Pennsylvania; Senator Mar

/ of Kentucky.
! The sub committee is expected to re-
port to the entire committee at 3
o'clock tomorrow afternoon.
/ One tentative form for the wording
of the plank which was being con-
sidered tonight but which was sub
! ject to change by the committee was
as follows:
Attention is called to certain organ

Influence the course of American lives
and politics in the interest of foreign
powers. Such organizations are con-
demned and any political party which
seeks to take advantage of such in
fluences is denounced"
This was followed by a declaration
to make it clear that the plank is in
no way to be taken as a reflection upon
the great body of returaliZed citizens
irrespective of their race or origin.

the Exalted Ruler of the Elks, Mr..
LewkowitZ was introduced, who de-
livered a brief, but eloquent address
on the History of the American
Flag. In his talk, Mr.. Lewkowitz
told of the history of the American

also touched on the significance of
the stars and stripes.
