State G. o. r. Rule Condemned.
The platform continued:
I'VE condemn Gov. Miller and the
Republican party for their reectionary
conduct. They have served the powerful
special Interests Of the State to the
neglect and prejudice OF the great mass
OF the people. They have undermined
the principles OF home rule and local
seif-government. They have assumed to
destroy by statutory enactment the con-
stitusionai right Of contract between mu-
nicipaiities ami public service corpora
tions.
They have deprived the city OF New
York OF every yestige Of It's control over
its investment of s300.o00.o0o In the
rapid transit system.
willie they have not Investigated a
single Republican municipality. they
have harassed and prosecuted the DEM
ocratic Administration Of New York city
BY hostile and partisan investiga tions.
For this purpose they are using vast
sums OF the peoples money. with the
sole end OF seeking TO influence local
elections through a state agency.
They have destroyed the, direct pri-
mary law, so far as 1t applies to judi
ciai ana State offices and returned 70
the discredited convention system. a
proposal which was vetoed by Gov.
Smith as taking from the enrolled voters
their right to nominate their candi-
dates"
Regarding Congress the platform said
THE weak and wobbling policy o!
the incompetent Republican Congress

depression and the unemployment under
