Immediately after the adjournment

"No suffragist who was present at

The platform was as follows:
The Platform.
The Democratic party, in national
convention assembled, adopts the fol-
lowing declaration TO the end that the
people OF the United States may both
realize the achievements wrought by
four years of Democratic administra-
ton. and be apprised of the policies to
which the party is committed for the
further conduct of national affairs
We indorse the administration of

our people have been freed ther+from
our archaic banking and currency
system. prolific of panic and disaster

legitimate industry, and making a
currency panic impossible.
We have created Federal Trade
Commission to accom,n odate the per-
picking questions arising under the
antitrust laws, so that monopoly may
be strangled at its birth, and legitimate
Industry encouraged Fair competition
In business is now assured
we have effected an adjustment of
the tariff fair to the consumer
ana to the producer. We have ad
justed the burdens of taxation so that
swollen incomes bear their equitable
snare.
Labor.
we have protected the rights of the
laborer against the unwarrantcd issu

guaranteed to him the right OF trial by
