Favor Vote on Suffrage.

"With greatly extended government
tai activities, the Democratic party car
ried on the state government on aver
age annual appropriations Of S43,OO0,'
600. For the full two years, with dl-
minished governmental activities, Gov
ernor Whitman's average annual ap-
preparations are $53 100000.
1--WE favor the enactment of a law
providing for an open. specific and uni
fed budget system. We hold the ques-
ton of conferring the right Of suf-
frage upon men and women should re-
main exclusively a question TO be de-
termined by the people Of the states,
apart from and uninfluenced by part
isan considerations. We have repeat
edly recommended that the opportu-
ritv be afforded the people of this
state to vote upon the question Of
women's suffrage, and we again recon-
mend that the question OF suffrage TO
women be submitted in 1917"
The platform pledges the party, II
restored to power, to reduce oppres-
sive taxes, conserve the surplus waters
of the rivers, extend the compensation
law so as to include losses to work
men from occupational diseases, con-
fer home rule upon cities, make liberal
appropriations for the elimination of
grade crossings and for the construc-
ton ana support of tuberculosis sani-
tariums and to enforce strictly the
civil service laws.

President Decides to Make
Campaign Trip Through
the West.
SIGN OF WEAKNESS,
REPUBLICANS SAY
Declare Two Weeks Campaign
Has Shattered Democrats
Defensive Stand"
tyrom The rribn. Bureau ]

Washington, Aug. 1l.-President Will
son has decided to take the stump
after all Some time about the middle
of September, when Congress has
transferred its oratory from the Cap
itol TO campaign rallies at country
crossroads. the President, too, will fol-
low the Hughes trail through the West.
After the Cabinet meeting to-day
the Administration political board OF
strategy, consisting Of Secretaries Nc
Adoo and Burleson, remained IN con-
ference with the President. Visitors at
the White House announced later that
the Western trip would be made.
No Democrat would admit to-day that
the effects of the Hughes campaign,
now only in its second week, had any
thing 70 do with the Presidents change
of mind. The attacks Of the Republi-
can candidate are still characterized
as "weak" and futile" and in some
quarters as unfair" Confidence Is
still expressed that Mr.. Wilson Is gain
ing steadily.
FESTIVE Under Hughes Attacks.
But Republicans give a different in.
depreciation to the decision. Ihey hall
it as the first definite sign that the
Administration is getting FESTIVE under
the Hughes attacks. The little bout
over the resignation of census Dlrec-
tor Durand, from which Secretary Red
field retired worsted, has brought the
Democrats to a sudden realization that
they are not invulnerable.
On a minor issue like the civil SER
vice, which no one expected TO play any
part in the campaign, Mr.. Hughes has
succeeded in bringing cries of pain
from the Administration. The expert
ence has awakened healthy fear and
a more wholesome respect for the am
munition in Republican lockers for use
in the larger issues.
The Western trip will be complete
reversal Of the campaign as planned
by the President. He has desired a
return to the old-style dignifed appeal.
He has been willing to stand on the
defensive, replying TO attacks as Nc
Kinley did, by making front porch
speeches or writing letters 10 patriotic
citizens who consulted him on burning
issues. Occasionally he might make a
public address, like the speech at the
Lincoln birthplace celebration, on Sep
TENDER 4, but it would not be on
politics.
As a part of that plan the President
postponed his notification at Shadow
Lawn, periodically declaring that he
would not desert" Congress while it
wrestled over such measures as child
labor and workingmen's compensation.
He would put off his speech until after
Congress adjourned, regardless of the
campaign.

son Endorsed.

Saratoga Springs, n. Y, Aug. IL
The platform submitted to the unoffi-
cial state conference of the Democratic
party by the resolutions committee to-
night was devoted principally to an ar
raignment Of Governor Whitman's adj
ministration. The platform reaffirms
/. the party's faith in the principles of
Thomas Jefferson indorses unquali-
fiedly the administration of President
Wilson and pledges the enthusiastic
support of the Democracy Of the state
to his reelection. The platform was
adopted unanimously.
Taking up state issues, the platform
says, in part:
an this state. the issue is the ex-
travagance and incompetency of the
Whitman administration. The state
needs an executive more than an eX-
ecutive budget
eve indict the Whitman administra-
ton for gross waste of the pubic
funds. Ii covenanted with the people
to reduce the number OF Offices and
lower the cost of government. This
pledge it has wantonly violated. II
has increased the number of place
holders and enlarged the cost of gov
eminent. It imposed upon the taxpay-
ers an unnecessary direct tax of $780,
500, 900. 1t has added appropriations
for its full two years at the rate OF
100000 per annum in excess OF the
Democratic average.
"For this vast new burden. Governor
Whitman can show no Offset. Calling
into his councils little junta of dis
credited bosses, he has fed them with
patronage at the expense of the pubic
service. No expenditure has been 100
great and no reprisal has been 700
petty to serve his purpose OF bulhlng
up his personal political machine,

ton of the National Guard with such
favoritism, extravaganza and lnefl-
ciencv as TO cause cruel hardship TO

"The constitutional convention was
called together to write constitution
of progress. The Republican party
made it an instrument of privilege and
submitted constitution so reactlonary
that the people rejected 1T by half
million votes.

its credit not single progressive con
structive law. Contrast with this the
record of the Democratic party when
in power.
