COLISEUM, ST. LOUIS, June l6.-The Democratic resolutions committee, after nearly 24 hours deliberation, completed the platform and sent it to the convention. The leaders expected it's adoption with but little discussion. The incorporation of 3 suffrage plank similar to the Republi- can one, but leaving it to the :ates for final amendment was lost by two votes.
 The platform favored national aid in the development of post and milit- ary roads; encouragement to farming and the betterment of marketing con- ditions; an S-hour day and industrial accident compensation and approved the Seaman's act; it advocates federal child labor laws and favors regulation of prison made goods by the interstate commerce commission; it favOrs the creation of federal safety bureau, the extension of the powers of the bureau of mines, the extension of the U. s. employment bureau; it asks the establishment of a federal tuberculosis sanitarium for the poor and favOrs all prison reforms, including the training of prisoners and the payment of accu- mulated wages when said prisoners are released; it recommends the adoption of liberal and comprehen- sive plan for the development of the waterW avs; it advocates a territorial government for alaska, Hawaii, Porto Rico and the development of mer chant marine; it favors the conserva- tion anl development of our natural resources; it declares that the sacred rights of American citizenship must be preserved at home and abroad" and all governments will be held tc a strict accountability" for wrongs"
 The Eemocratic platform condemns organizations working in the interest of foreign governments; it reasserts the Monroe Doctrine and terms inter- vention in Mexico as ''reyolting to the people of the United States, notwith- standing the provocation is great" IL comments On the administration "splen ndid diplomatic victories, and termi Wilson ''the greatest American of his generation" The Americanism plank condemns "all alliances or com binationS of individuals of whatever nationality or descent who agree and conspire to gether for the purpose of embarrassing or weakening our gov ernment or improperly influencing or coercing the public representative in dealing with any foreign power. We charge that such conspiracies, among a limited number, now exist"
