Platforms are entirely In har- xaony with this Democratic idea. -'A platform announces the party's posi tion on the questions which are at issue; and an official is not atTiberty to use the authority vested In him to urge personal views which bave not been submitted to the voters for theirs approval. If one Is nominated upon a platform which is not satisfactory to him, he must, if candid, either de cline the nomination or. fn accepting it, propose an amended platform in lieu, of the one adopted by the conven tion. - No such situation, however, confronts your candidate.' tor the plat form npon which.
