Th" two platforms hleb most Intnresjl students of publlo affairs today ae the one adopted J (Jeorgla upon which Hoke Smith Is runbipB, and the upon which MfiT Stephenson, of Wis. ronsln, has become" a camlhlatc for senator from that.jiute.

Hoke Hinith, '-demo crat, of Georgia. ; -Mr. Smith denounces the allianc between "the "'great transportation companies". and 'the public officials elected to serve the public. Mr. Stophenson does not discus? the question of the Tlfibt or the power of public officials to serve private Inter ests. But ho' does; demand, and makes his campaign upon these issues. 1. Legislation authorising tho Inter state Commerce Commission to ascer tain the true rvalue pf railroad prop orty. iv t 2.

Opposition to ship subsidy and to all other forms of direct government bounty. That is a republican platform in Wis consin. There are few democrats in this land who would not accept It as a demo- cratlc platform. There comes also the Georgia plat- form, which demands that the party machinery should be purged of men serving corporations. It denounces tbe practice of corporations in making contributions to campaign funds And demands the enactment of jaws to make such contributions erlmlnjat. : It denounces the watering of rail road stocks and frankly declares that to be the reason for excesslxe freight rates. It says, speaking for the people of Georgia, that "they; are entitled to Just rates from the carriers, and no rates can be Just that arc higher thap the rates granted the people iq surround ing states under similar conditions." Working on Sane Lines. ' No one can read the brief Bumma rlea of these two platforms without seeing that the Wisconsin republican and the Georgia democrat are Working along nearly the same lines. Soma people think and eay that Mr. Reosevelt, too, Is working along dera ocratlc lines. The men who so believe have been overcome by the. 'Roosevelt superstition in this country. Nothing that Is democratic appeals to , him. Nothing that stands for the govern ment of tbe people government does he Stand for. He has occasionally adopt ed some democratic suggestion, i and after emasculating forced . tt Into a law. -But -the democrat don't stand for the ship-subsidy bill and be in for It at all times. Democracy does not stand for Imperialism In government. yet he- does and you don't have to go out of the city of Washington to find how imperial and autocratic this gov ernment has become. Tou might ask the newspaper men who formerly had the entree to all the departments, but who now are barred out unless they bring, like a man at a theatre door, a card of entrance. Tou might ask the men who have been driven away from the, front door of the white house to which they have had entrance since the time of Abraham Lincoln and be fore, what they -thin about ) Rus sian autocracy which is now being -established 4a the dty of Washington. -President - Roosevelt a " ruler bi masterfut; as a ecial potentate domi nant; ae K republican politician prob ably the ablest - sine - Mark - Banna, but when one speaks of htm' as1 a dem ocrat, the speaker knows neither what the democratic party means and stands for, nor what the word "democracy,"; entirely disassociated from Its partisan sense signifies. He is an autocrat pure and simple and Washington hns never known so autocratic an administra tion. Andrew Jackson 'was ' mild- mannered jnan- and deferential exec- .u,)t, tiomyartson to the present president.

Strong detachments of sol diers occupy the public squares and the police are heavily armed and are kept busy keeping the crowds on the move. Numbers of small riots have oc curred throughout the city but few arrests have been made so far. The strikers are mostly employed in the bakeries and restaurants. A largo crowd gathered in front of the labor exchange early today and it was necessary to call for troops to dis perse the mob and restore order. The troops will be kept on duty until all danger is passed. HIS BRIDE OF FOUR MONTHS A SUICIDE (By Leased Wire to The Times.) J Chicago, April 23.
