PORTO RICO POLITICS.
What Some Of the Islanders Think Of
the Democrat "Hybrld Cluster"

To THE EDITOR OF THE SuE-Str. Is
Il not high time to put a stop TO the
farce that is now going the round of
the press here that there is a Demo-
cratic party In Porto Rico. and that
delegates" from its fold have been
elected" to the national convention of
that hybrid cluster held at st. Louis?
Because my fellow islanders. the Porto
Ricans, are not so much devoid OF rea-
son as to follow the uncertain fortunes
OF a political party which as soon as
II got hold Of the three branches OF the
United states Government proceeded to
ruin their main industry with the
menace Of free sugar. and. further
more, when II was called upon to make
good" Its promises advanced In the lean
days as to local self-government for the
island contcnted itself with saying that
national party divisions ended at the
waters edge" and with enacting a
bill which leaves Porto Rico under the
control Of the War Department.
The truth OF the matter. Senior Edi-
tor. Is that there IL not such a Demo-
cratic party in Porto Rico to-day. and
never will be. for the reason that my
compatriots know n had thing when
they see II" tthey also know a good
one. as In the case Of the United States
rule). and by this time they have taken
the full measure OF the so-callcd "Jef-
fersonian' leaders who have deceived
them with unkept promises.
There was a time. indeed, when We
used TO shout ourselves hoarse for our
would-be redeemers Of the Bryan type,
but to-day no Porto Rican would dare
to say In public that he is a Democrat
or that he ever was one. because the
risk would he too great of losing his
standing.
The little bunch Of men, Americans
in the majority. who call themselves the
democratic party OF Porto Rico are
only office seekers who or every Presi-
Dental election entertain the forlorn
hope that IL their co-partisans win here
they are going TO be rewarded with Gov
eminent Jobs IN the island. Though the
ever verdant optimists were bitterly dis
appointed after the election Of Mr.. Will

4 Famous IneXpePt on the Demo.
cratic Platform.

Colonel BRYAN, parent Of many
paramount Issues, pronounces his
blessing on the latest Democratic
platform thus:
Tho platform adopted by the Demo.
cratic national convention Is one Of the
strongest. c~iearest and most progressive
u%tteranccs ever promulgated by any
party.
at sets forth the party's position with
oandor and courage, and Il covers all the
Issues before the country"
Four years ago Deacon BRYAS WAS
chairman Of the resolutions committee
Of the Baltimore convention. The
platform then adopted was largely
his work. He liked II. He said:
1T u the most progressive platform
ever framed In . Democratic nvs
6on.
THAT meant II 10 De most progressive
Vaatform ever adopted IN this country.
1T Is a stem winder and the people
will respond to II.
at 10 a remarkable document.
''Ths unanimity With which Il VA
adopted was inspiring.
. the questions Of party principles
the Democrats this year are apparently
In accord"
Yet that platform included n plank
on Panama Canal tolls that the Presi-
dent and Mr., BRYAN afterward dis
owned, d~lsobeycd and nulllfed; and
a plank pledging the President elected
on 1t to Il single term, which Presi-
dent WILSON has ignored, violated
and thrown into the waste basket.
Colonel BRYAN knows a great deal
about platforms, but his judgment
thereon Is not worth much.

Milwaukee - Marquette university's
ten-day campaign came TO a close
when the leaders announced that
S503,471 had been raised as an en-
dowment fund for the institution. At
the start of the movement a mark of
$4,000 was set as the fondest hope
of the hundreds of workers.
Of the total, 100000 was donated
by one man whose name was not re-

said that this sum was deposited at
the Marshall & Ilsley bank.
1t is believed that when all of the
money promised is paid, the total will
be nearer the 100000 mark.
