Adopted by the Convention at Denver injunction and Rallrpad Planks Most Initiating Features A Dec laration on States' Rights Favora Election of Senators by the People 'The Platform In Detail. Following is the Democratic nation al platform adopted by the convention at Denver Thursday night: - We, the representatives of the Dem ocrats ot the United States in nation al convention assembled, affirm our belief in, and pledge our loyalty to the principles of the party. We rejoice at the increasing signs ot an awakening throughout the coun try.. The various investigations have traoed graft and 'political corruption to the representatives of predatory wealth and laid bare the unscrupulous methods by which they have debauch ed elections and preyed upon a de fenseless public through the subser vient officials' wfaom .they have raised 10 piace ana power. i ne conscience of the nation is now aroused to free the government from tbe grip of those who. bnvi made lt a business asset of the tavar aeeklne corporations; it must become again a peopie s government, and be adminis tered in all its denartments according to tae Jeffersonlan maxim of "Equal rights to all and special privileges to none." "Shall the peocle rule?" is the over shadowing issue .which manifests it self In all the questions now under discussion. ' THE INJUNCTION PLANK. The courts of Justice are the bul wark of our liberties and we yield to none in our purpose to maintain their dignity. Our nartv ha ariven thn bench a long line ot dlstinirulBhed Judges who have added to the respect ana connaence in which this depart ment must be Jealously maintained. We resent the attempt of the Repub lican party to raise a false issue re specting the Judiciary. It is an unjust reflection upon a great body of our citizens to assume that they lack re spect tor the courts. It is the -function of the courts to interpret the laws which the oeonle create, and if the laws appear to work economic social or political injustice, It is our duty to change them. The only basis upon which the In tegrity of our courts can stand Is that of unswerving justice and protection of life, personal liberty and property. If judicial processes may be abused. we should guard them against abuse. LAW SHOULD BE MODIFIED. Experience has proven the neces sity of a modification of the present law relating to injunctions and we re iterate the pledge of our National platforms of 1896 and 1904 in favor of the measure which passed the United States Senate In 1906 but which a Republican Congress has ever since, refused to enact, relating to contempts In Federal courts and pro viding tor trial by jury In cases of In direct contempt. Questions of judicial practice have arisen especially In connection with industrial disputes. We deem that the parties to all Judicial proceedings should be treated with rigid impartial ity and that injunctions should not is sue in any cases In -which injunctions would not issue- if no industrial dis pute were Involved. The expanding organization of in dustry makes it essential that there should be no abridgement of the right ot .wage-earners and producers to or ganize for the protection of wages and the Improvement of labor condi tions to the end that such labor organ ization and their members should not be regarded as illegal combinations in restraint of trade. We favor the eight-hour day on all government work. ' , . We pledge the Democratic party to the enactment of a law by Congress, as far as the Federal jurisdiction ex tends, for a general employers lia bility act covering Injury to body, or loss of employes. We nledge the Democratio party to the enactment of a law creating a de partment of labor, represented sepa rately In the President's Cabinet, which department shall include the subject ot mines and mining. THE RAILROAD PLANK. We assert the right of Congress to exorcise complete control over Inter- State commerce and the right of each State to exercise just as complete control over commerce within its bor ders. We demand such enlargement of the powers ot the interstate commerce commission as may be necessary to enable it to protect persons and places from discrimination and to compel the railroads to perform their duties' as common carriers. We favor the em dent supervision and rate regulation of railroads engaged In Inter-State commerce. To this end we recoil mend the physical valuation of the railroads by the Inter-State commerce commission, such valuation to take into consideration the original cost of construction and all elements of value that will render the valuation made fair and -Just. We favor such legislation as will prohibit the rail roads from engaging in business which, brings them into competition with their shippers, also legislation which -.will assure such reduction in transDortatlon rates as conditions will permit,- care being taken to avoid re duction in wages, prevent adequate service or do injustice to legitimate Investments.1 ; : - j - We hoartUy..Dprove the laws pro' hlbitlng tha pass and the rebate, and we. favor any .further necessary legis lation to- restrain, correct and prevent such abuses. - , , ,- r TARIFF.' - We welcome the belated promise of tariff., reform now affected by the bannhltnnn nnt-fv In tnrdv recognition of the righteousness of the Democrat- people cannot afely entrust the ex- ati.Hnn nr t-nifl lmnortA-nT -worK iu party which is so deeply obligated to the highly protected Interests as is the Republican ' party. v.

Existing duties have given to the manufacturers ot paper a shelter be hind which they have organized com binations to raise the price ot pulp and ot paper, thus Imposing a tax upon the spread of knowledae. We demand tho immediate repeal of the tana on pulp paper, pulp lumber, tim ber, logs and that these articles be placed upon the free list. ; PUBLICITY OF CAMPAIGN CONTRI BUTIONS. ,; We demand Federal leglsiatlon for ever terminating the partnership which has existed between corporations of the country and the Republican party under the expressed or implied agreement that in return tor the con tributions of great sums Of money wherewith to purchase elections they should be allowed to continue substan tially unmolested in their efforts to encroach upon the rights ot the peo ple. . ... Any reasonable doubt as to -the ex istence of this relation has been- for ever dispelled by the sworn testi mony ot witnesses examined in tbe insurance Investigation, in New York, and the open 'admission unchallenged by the Republican committee or a sin gle Individual, that be himself at the personal request oi tne ttepuDiican candidate for the presidency raised over a quarter of a million of dollars to be used in a single State during the closing hours of the last cam paign. In order that this practice shall be stopped for all time, we de mand the passage of a statute punish ing with Imprisonment any officer of a corporation who shall either contrib ute on behalf of, or consent to the contribution by a corporation of any money or thing of value to be used id furthering the election ot a President and Vice President of the United States or any member of the Congress thereof. We denounce the action of the Re publican party, having complete con trol of the Federal government, for its failure to pass the bill, introduced in the last Congress, to compel the publication of the names ot contribu tors and the amounts contributed, to ward campaign funds, and point . to the evidence of their, insincerity when they sought by an absolutely irrele vant and impossible amendment to de feat the passage of the .bill. As fur ther evidence of their intention to conduct their campaign In the coming contest with vast sums of money wrested from favor-seeking corpora tions, we call attention to the fact that the recent Republican national convention at Chicago .refused, when the plank was presented to it, to de clare against such practices. We pledge the Democratic party to the enactment of a law preventing any corporation, contributing to a cam paign fund, and any individual from contributing an amount above a rea sonable minimum and providing for the publication before the election of such contributions. ,THE RIGHTS OF- THE STATES. Believing with Jefferson In "the sup port ot the State governments in all their rights as the most competent administration for our domestic con cerns and the surest bulwark against anti-republican tendencies and in the preservation of the general gov ernment in its whole constitutional vigor, as tbe sheet-anchor of our peace at home and safety abroad," we are opposed to tbe centralization implied in these suggestions, now frequently made, that the. powers of the general government Should be extended by ju dicial construction. There Is no twi light zone between the nation and the State in which exploiting Interests can take refuge from both; and it is necessary that the Federal govern ment shall exercise the powers dele gated to lt as it is that the State gov ernments, shall use the authority re served to them; but we insist that Federal remedies for the regulation ot Inter-State commerce and for the prevention of private monopoly shall be added to not substituted for State remedies. ECONOMY IN ADMINISTRATION. The Republican congress in ses sion just ended has made appropria tions amounting to $1,008,000,000, ex ceeding the total expenditures of the past fiscal year by $90,000,000 and leaving a deficit ot more than $60,000, 000 for the fiscal year. We denounce the needless waste ot the people s money which has resulted in this ap palling, increase as a shameful viola tion of all prudent conditions of gov ernment, as no less than a crime against the millions of wot king men and women from whose earnings the great proportion of these collosal sums must be extorted through excessive tariff exactions and other Indirect methods. It is not surprising that, in the face of this shocking record, the Republican platform contains- no ref erence to economical administration or promise thereof In the future.. We demand that a stop be put to this frightful extravagance and Insist upon tbe strictest economy in every depart ment compatible with frugal and. ef ficient administration. . PENSIONS. We favor a generous pension policy, both as a matter of justice to the sur viving veterans and their dependents and because ' lt tends to relieve the country of the necessity bt maintain ing a large standing army. . . NATURAL RESOURCES. - We Tepeat the demand tec internal development and tor the conservation of our natural resources, contained in previous platforms, -the enforcement of which Mr. Roosevelt has vainly sought from a reluctant party and to that end we insist upon the preserva tion, protection and replacement- needed forests, the preservation bf the public domain for home seekers. the protection ot natural resources in timber, "coal, Iron and oil against mo nopolistic control, the development of our waterways for navigation ana ev ery other useful purpose, including the Irrigation of arid lands, 'ne reclama tion of swamp lands, thu clarification of streams, the development ot water nower and the preservation or electric power generated by this natural force from the control of monopoly; ana to such end, we urge the exercise ot all Dowers, national, State ana mum .cipal, both separately and la co-operation. ." ...-.:-i;.:;...x.?1.r. . We Insist uwm a policy of adSiin- Istration of bur forest reserve which shall relieve lt of the abuses which have arisen: thereunder, and which shall,-as far as practicable, conform to the police regulations ot the several States where they are located which shall enable homesteaders at of right to occupy and acquire title to all por tions thereof wnicn are especially adapted to agriculture, and which shall furnish a system of timber, sales available as well as to tne private on- lien as- to' the larger manufacturer PANAMA CANAL. ' We believe the Panama canal will prove ot great value to our country, and favor its speedy completion. , BANKING. "The panic of 1907, coming without aqy legitimate excuse, when the Re publican-party had for a decade been lit complete , control of the Federal government, furnishes additional proot that lt is either unwilling or in competent' to protect the interests ot the general public. It has so linked the country to Wall Street that the sins ot the speculators are visited upr on the whole people. While refusing to rescue wealth-procedure from. spo liation at the hands of the stock gam. biers and speculators in farm pro ducts, lt has deposited Treasury fundi without interest and without competi tion. In favorite banks. It lias-used an emergency for which lt is largely re sponsible to force through Congress a bill changing the basis of bank cur rency and inviting market manipula tion, and has failed to give to the fif teen million f depositors -of the coun try protection in their savings. . We believe that in so tar as the needs ot commerce require an emer gency currency, such currency should be issued, contoiled by the Federal government and loaned on adequa security to national and State banks. We pledge ourselves to legislation un der which the national banks shall be required to establish a guarantee fund for tbe prompt payment of the depos itors of any insolvent national bank under an equitable system which shall be available to all State bank ing institutions wishing to use lt. We favor a postal saving bank If the guaranteed bank cannot be secur ed and that it be constituted so as to keep the deposited money in the com munities where it is established. But we, condemn the policy of the Repub lican party In providing postal savings banks under a plan of conduct by which they will aggregate the depos its of rural communities and re-deposit the same while under government charge in the banks of Wall Street, thus depleting the circulating medium of the producing regions and unjust ly favoring the speculative markets. INCOME TAX. We favor an income tax as part of revenue system, and we urge the sub mission ot a constitutional amendment specifically authorizing Congress to levy and collect a tax upon Individual and corporate incomes to the end that wealth may bear its proportionate share of the burdens of the Federal government. THE NAVY. The constitutional provision that a navy shall be provided and maintained means an adequate navy and we be lieve that the Interests of this country would be best served by having a navy sufficient to defend the coasts of this country and protect American citizens whenever their rights may be in Jeo pardy. POPULAR ELECTION OF SENA. TORS. We favor the election of United States Senators by direct vote of the people and regard as the gateway to Other national reforms. PAN-AMERICAN RELATIONS. The Democratic party recognizes the Importance and advantage of de veloping closer ties ot Pan-American friendship and commerce between the United States and her sister nations ot Lantln-Amertca and favors the tak ing of such steps, consistent with Dem ocratic ..policies, tor better acquain ance, greater mutual confidence and larger exchange of trade, as will bring lasting benefit , not only to the United States but to this group of American republics having constitutions, forms of government, ambitions and inter ests akin to our own. . ASIATIC IMMIGRATION. We favor full protection by both na tlonal and State governments within their respective spheres ot all for eigners residing in' the United States under treaty, but we are opposed to the admission of Asiatic immigrants who cannot be amalgamated with -our population or whose presence among us would raise a race issue and in volve us In diplomatic controversies with Oriental powers. MINOR ISSUES. . Other planks in the platform call for an Immediate declaration of the na tions purpose to recognize the inde pendence of the Philippines; denoun ces the growing Increase of oflice holders under the Republican adminis tration as indicating a deliberate pur pose to continue the Republicans In power; demands that the House of Representatives shall again become a deliberate body, controlled by a major ity of the members and not by the Speaker; favors an Immediate, liber al and comprehensive plan for im proving every water-course In the Un ion; condemns the action of the pres ent Chief Executive in using the pat ronage of his high oflice to secure the nomination of one of his Cab men t offi cers; pledges the party to the enact ment of a law to regulate the rates and services of telegraph and tele- phlne companies; calls for honest and rigid enforcement of the civil service laws; favors the admission of Arizo na and New Mexico as separate States, declares that rules and regu lations In relating to free grazing lands should be left to the people of the States where the- lands are situ ated; favors the extension ot agri cultural, mechanical and industrial ed ucation, believes in the upbuilding of the-American merchant marine with out new or additional burdens upon the people and without bounties from the public Treasury; favors the appli cation ot principles of the land laws of the United States to Hawaii, In the interest ot home-steaders; demands fqr the people of Alaska and Porto Rico the full enjoyment of the rights and provisions of a territorial form of government; ravors Federal aid in the construction and maintenance of post toads, deprecates the use of the navy, for the collection of private iebts, and advocates the organization ot all existing national public health agencies Into , - national bureau ot nublicv health: insists upon the full protection ot our citizens at home and abroad and demands that all over the world a duly autfaoritated passport is sued by the government ot the Unit ed States to an American citizen shall be proof that he la an American citi zen and shall entitle him to the treat ment due him as such, v" T "Health Coffee" is really the closest Coffee Imitation ever yet produced.

A dispatch from New York says that Mr. Bryan, the Democratic nominee tor President, has written an article entitled "My Conception of the Presi dency," for the July 18th issue of Col lier's Weekly, and quotes Mr. Bryan as follows: - "Tbe President's nower for eood or for harm is often overestimated. Our government is a government of checks and balances'; power is distributed among different departments, and eacu of them works..4ln co-operation with others. The making of laws,' for instance, the President Joins with the Senate and the House; he may recommend but he is powerless to leg islate, except as a majority of the Senate and - the House concur with blm. The Senate and the House are also Independent of each other; and tbe President has a veto over both: except that the Senate and the House can, by a two-thirds vote, override the President's veto. INFLUENCE LIMITED The Influence ot the President over legislation, is therefore limited; he shares responsibility With a large number of the people's representa tives. Even In the enforcement of law he is hedged about by restrictions. He acts through an Attorney General (whose appointment must be approved by the Senate) and offenders against the law must be prosecuted In the courts, so that here again the respon sibility is divided. In the making ot Important appointments, he must con sult the Senate, and Is of necessity compelled to exercise care and dis crimination. The most important requisite in a President, as in other officials, Is that his sympathy shall be with the whole people, rather than with any fraction of the population. He is constantly called upon to act in the capacity of a judge deciding between tbe importunities ot those Who seek favors and the rights and Interests of the public. Unless his sympathies are right, the few are sure to have an advantage over the many, for the masses have no one to present their claims. They act only at elec tions, and must trust to their repre sentatives to protect them from all their foes. Second, the President must have a knowledge of public questions and the ability to discern between the true and the false; he must be able to analyze the condi tions and to detect the sophistries that are always employed by those who Seek unfair advantages. MORAL COURAGE. 'He must possess the moral cour age to stand against the influences that are brought to bear In favor of special interests. In fact, the qual ity of moral courage is as essential In a public official as either sight sym pathies or a trained mind. A President must have counsellors, and to make wise use of counsellors he must be open to convictions. The President is committed by his plat form to certain policies and the plat form is binding; he Is also committed to' certain principles of government and these he is in duty bound to apply in all matters that come before him. But there is a wide zone in which he must act upon his own judgment, and here he ought to have the aid of intel ligent, conscientious and faithful ad visors. The law provides these, to a certain extent, in giving him a Cabi net, and the Vice President ought to be made a member of the Cabinet ex officio, in order, first, that the Presi dent may have tbe benefit of his wis dom and knowledge of affairs, and second, that the Vice President may be better prepared to take up the work of the President in case of a va- cany in the presidential office. There ought to be cordial relations also be tween the President and those who occupy positions of Influence In the co-ordinate branches ot the govern ment, where our government Is not a one man government, but a govern ment in which the chosen representa tives of the people labor to give ex pression to the will of the voters. HIS OPPORTUNITIES. "But the presidency is the highest position In the world and its occu pant is an important factor in all na tional matters. If he Is a devout be liever In our theory of government, recognizes the constitutional distribu tion of powers, trusts thoroughly in the people and fully sympathizes with I hem in their aspirations and hopes, he has an opportunity to do a splen did work; he occupies a vantage ground from which he can exert a wholesome influence in favor of each forward movement. "The responsibilities of the office are so great that the occupant ought to be relieved of every personal am bition, save the ambition to prove worthy of the confidence of his coun trymen; for this reason he ought to enter the position without thought or prospect of a second term. While the burdens of such an oflice are neavy, and while the labors ot the oflice are exacting and exhausting, the flald of service is large and, measuring its greatness by service, a President, by consecrating himself to the public weal, can make himself secure in tne affection ot his fellow-citizens while he lives and create for himself a per manent place in the nation s history "E.

A correspondent from Lincoln, Neb. sends the following interesting Infor mation to the Raleigh News and Ob server: Samuel Gompers, president of the American Federation of Labor, will support William J. Bryan in the com ing presidential campaign. In politi cal circles to-day this announcement overshadowed all others, even the ar rival of John W. Kern, the vice pres idential nominee. While Mr. Gompers' support was promised to the ticket he specifically denied any present in tention ot taking the stump in the coming campaign. Reports gained currency that the labor leader would speak for Bryan but he made no such announcement. He left Falrvlew after 15 minutes' Interview with Mr. Bryan. At present It is believed there will be no need for Mr. Gom pers' service in an oratorical sense, and Mr. Gompers does not expect to be called on to speak publicly In the campaign. REPUBLICANS IGNORED LABOR. The Republican convention, Gom pers asserts, ignored the demands of labor, while the Democrats acknowl edged them In their platform. His course, he says, Is clear and he will do what Is demanded of him in the Interests of labor as best impressed in the platform adopted at Denver. As the situation is at present, Mr. Gompers' efforts can be better expend ed elsewhere than on the rostrum. In his Interview with Mr. Bryan Mr. Gompers was attended by Frank Mor rison, secretary of the federation, and James Duncan, also a labor leader. The representatives of organized la bor and the vice presidential nominee, John W. Kern, and party reached "Bryan Station" by the trolley car. Mr. Bryan, In his neglected Fedora hat and alpaca coat, went out to greet them. "Ah, there is the Vice President," observed the leader of the ticket smil ing and extending his hand. What Mr. Kern said In reply was lost In the confusion but his smile was reassuring as he shook hands vigorously with the standard bearer of his party. WILL CARRY INDIANA. The presidential and vice presiden tial nominee, arm In arm. led the way to the Bryan home, followed by Abraham Simmons, delegate-at-large to the convention; John E. Osbourne, member of the State central commit tee, of Indiana, and U. S. Jackson, chairman of that committee. Mr. Jackson after talking with Mr. Bryan declared that Indiana would go for Bryan by 10,000 votes. He based this prediction on a canvass, which he said he has been making since the middle of January. He anticipated the enrollment of many Roosevelt Re publicans on the Bryan list. Mr. Bryan told his -visitors that it had been reported he would make a front porch campaign. He was by no means certain of this, but admitted that he had promised to make a speech in Chicago on Labor Day. Aside from this date the candidate for the presidency had made no plans. RETROSPECT OF THE CONVEN TION. F. B. Arendell From Denver to Ral eigh News and Observer. Denver, Col., July 11. The Denver convention, which a few hours ago was a most remarkable reality, is to day merely a chapter in political his tory, but It Is one of the most thrill ing, Interesting and contesting chap ters in the political history ot this or any other nation. The dismantling has set in and It looks horrible. It has been in many features the greatest political gathering that has ever been held In America. More than fifty thousand strangers came to Den ver to see it Perhaps one-half or two-thirds of them fot into the great auditorium at different sessions. Nev er has there been such a scramble for admission to any gathering of a poli tical nature. The city of Denver has been one great glittering, gorgeous banquet of decorations and display. Millions of yards of bunting, millions of flags and banners of every kind and design, a constellation of the stars of Democracy such as has never here tofore been greeted upon its glorious horizon, a gallaxy of the advances of the party, resplendent in attire, and full of zeal and good cheer, a moving, marching, surging, rushing, restless, resistless sea of people all, or nearly, all of them, decided and determined upon the man who was to be the hero of the hour, and the principles upon which he should make Democracy's appeal for the preferment in the ap proaching contest.
