He, was a progressive citizen, taking a ( deep interest in all community affairs.] I When the Wakefield Home Demon- : stration club decided to build a club 1 house, he gave them a very desirable ( lot and assisted in building the house. He was exceedingly loyal to the Wakefield church of which he was a very active member. He led in build ing an addition to the S. S. depart ment a number of years ago, doing much of the work himself. He sel dom missed a servicp of the S. S., or worship. He was a quiet, modest man, but when he spoke it was sensible or humorous according to the circum stances.

The complete text f the Democratic jilatform ap | proved hy the full resolutions com- j mittee for presentation to the con-j , vention follows: In this time of unprecedented and i social distress, the Democratic party declares its convictions that the chief causes of this condition were the disastrous policies pursued by our government, since the World War, of economic isolation; fostering the merger of competitive businesses into monopolies; and encouraging the indefensible expansion and con traction of credit for private profit at the expense of the public. Those who were responsible for these policies have abandoned the | j ideals on which the war was won ! land thrown away the fruits of vie-1 . tory, thus rejecting the greatest op portunity in history to bring peace, prosperity and happiness to our peo i pie and to the world. They have ruined our foreign I trade, destroyed the values of our j commodities and products, crippled j our banking system, robbed millions jof our people of their life savings i and thrown millions more out of , work, produced widespread poverty and brought the government to a state of financial distress unprece j dented in times of peace. The only hope for improving pres | ent conditions, restoring employ ment, affording permanent relief to the people, and bringing the nation back to its former proud position of domestic happiness and of finan cial, industrial, agricultural and com mercial leadership in the world, lies in drastic change in economic and governmental policies. Believing that a party platform is a covenant with the people to be faithfully kept by the party when 1 j entrusted with power, and that the people are entiteld to know in plain I words the terms of the contract to which they are asked to subscribe, | we hereby declare this to be the plat form of the Democratic party. The Democratic party solemnly promises by appropriate action to put into effect the principles, poli cies and reforms herein advocated, and to eradicate the policies, meth ods and practices herein condemned: Steps Advocated. We advocate: 1. An immediate and drastic reduc tion of governmental expenditures by abolishing useless commissions and offices, consolidating departments and bureaus, and eliminating ex travagance, to accomplish a saving of not less than 26 per cent, in the cost of federal government; and we I call upo’y the Democratic party in the rg; to make a zealous effort jto t , a proportionate result. 2 * * Nntenance of the national creu.' toll r a federal budget annually balancec? on the basis of accurate estimates within revenues, raised by! a system of taxation levied on the j principle of ability to pay. 3. A sound currency to be preserv ed at all hazards; and an interna i tional monetary conference called on the invitation of our government■ to consider the rehabilitation of sil ver and related questions. 4. A complete tariff for reve nue .with a fact-finding tariff com mission free from executive inter- j ference; reciprocal tariff agreements with other nations; and an interna tional economic conference designed to restore international trade and facilitate exchange. Credit to States. 5. Extension of federal credit to - the states to provide unemployment i relief wherevef the diminishing re* - sources of the states make it im • possible for them to provide for the i needy; expansion of the federal pro , gram of necessary and useful con ; struction affected with a public in terest; such as food control and wa ; terway3, including the St. Lawrence i spread of employment by a substan t tial reduction in the hours of labor, the encouragement of the shorter 1 week by applying that principle in r government service; advance plan - ning of public works. 6. Unemployment and old-age in !• surance, under state laws. 7. For the restoration of agricul s ture, the nation’s basic industry; bet - ter financing o f farm mortgages [. through reorganized farm bank agen cies at iow rates of interest, on an >, amortization plan, giving preference to credits for the redemption of farms and homes sold under fore closure; extension and development of the farm cooperative movenien .n<l effective control . T ir< p -ui - j pit: u>s so that our farmers may haw I thi full benefit of the domestic mar ket; enactment of every constitute n al measure that will aid the farmers !to receive for basic farm commodi j ties, prices in excess of cost. 8. A navy and an army adequate for national defense, based <>n a survey of till facts affecting the ex isting establishments, that the people in time of peace may not be burden ed by an expenditure fast approach- j ing a billion dollars annually. Anti-Trust Laws. 9. Strict and impartial enforce- 1 ment of the anti-trust laws to pre vent monopoly and unfair trade practices, and revision thereof foi the better protection of labor and the small producer and distributor; j »he removal of government from all | fields of private enterprise, except j I v here nec??s ry to develop public works and natural resources in the common interest; conservation de velopment and use of the nation’s i water power in the public interest. 10. We favor the repeal of the 18th Amendment. To effect such repeal, we demand that the Congress immediately pro pose a constitutional amendment to purely representative conventions in the states called to act solely on ! that proposal. W r e urge the enactment of such j measures by the several states as will actually promote temperance, effectively prevent the return of the saloon and bring the liquor traffic into the open under complete super vision and control by the states. We demand that the federal gov ernment exercise its power to en able the states to effectually protect themselvs against importation of. intoxicating liquors in violation of' their laws. Pending repeal, we favor immedi ate modification of the Volstead Act; to legalize the manufacture and sale j of beer and other beverages of such alcholic content as is permissable under .the Constitution and to pro vide therefrom a proper and needed revenue. Protect Investors. 11. Protection of the investing pub- i lie by requiring to be filled with the government and carried in adver tisements of all offerings of foreign and domestic stocks and bonds true information as to bonuses, commis sions, principal invested and inter ests of sellers. Regulation to the full extent of the federal power of (A) Holding companies which sell securities in interstate commerce. (B) Rates of utility companies op crating across state lines. (C) Exchanges trading in securi-j ties and commodities. 12. Quicker methods of realizing on assets for the relief of depositors j of suspended banks and a more rigid supervision of national banks for j 1 the protection of the use of theii mon ies in speculation to the detriment of local credits. The severance of affiliated securi ties companies and the divorce of the investment hanking from com-; ! mercial banks; and further restric tion of federal reserve banks in per mitting the use of federal reserve facilities for speculative purposes. 13. The full measure of justice j and generosity for all war veterans who have suffered disability or dis ease caused by or resulting from ac tual service in time of war, and fori their defendents. Foreign Policy. 14. A firm foreign policy includ ing: Peace with all the world and the settlement of international dis putes by arbitration; no interfer ence in the international affairs of other nations; the sanctity of treaties, ' and maintenance of good faith and iof good will in finacial obligations; adherence to the world Court with the pending reservations; the Pact jof Paris abolishing war as an in ■ j strument of national policy, to be ■ made effective by provisions for eon , sultation and conference in case of ■ _ threatened violation of treaties: in -1 ternational agreement for reduction • of armaments; and cooperation with nations of the Western Hemisphere • to maintain the spirit of the Mon roe Doctrine. We oppose cancellation of the • debts owing to the United States by s; foreign nations. 15. Independent for the Phillip i pines; ultimate statehood for Porto > Rico; the employment of American F citizens in the operation of the Pan- ama Canal. 16. Simplification of legal proce dure and reorganization of the ju dicial system to make the attain ment of jus* ce speedy, certain and at less cost. 17. Continuous publicity of po litical contributions and expendi tures, strengthening of the corrupt practices act. and severe penalties for misappropriation of campaign funds. Things Condemned. We ogidemn: 1. The improper and excessive us< |of money in political activities. 2. Paid lobbies of special inter ! ests to influence members of Con -1 gress and other public servants by personal contact. 3. Action and utterances of high public officials designed to influence stock exchange prices. 4. The open and covert resistance of administrative officials to every effort made by Congressional com mittees to curtail the extravagant expenditures of the government, and to revoke improvident subsidies grant ed to favored interests. 5. The extravagance of the Farm Board, its disastrous action which made the government a speculator in farm products, and the unsound policy of restricting agricultural pro duction to the demands of domestic markets. 6. The ursurpation of power by the j State Department in assuming to ! pass upon foreign securities offered ■by international bankers, as a re sult so which billions of dollars in questionable bonds have been sold to the public upon the implied ap prval of the federal government. 7. The Hawley-Smoot tariff law, the prohibitive rates of which have resulted in retaliatory action by more than 40 countries, created interna tional economic hostilties, destroyed international trade, driven our fac tories into foreign countries, robbed j the American farmer of his foreign ! markets and increased his cost of | production. Conclusion; To accomplish these purposes and to recover economic liberty, we pledge the nominees of this conven tion and the best effort of a grea party whose founder announced tlfc doctrine which guides us now, in the hour of our coutry’s need— “ Equal rights to all, special privileges to none.’’ General News In Brief Siam has had the same family of monarchs ruling for 150 years. It was one of the two absolute mon archies in the world. A revolution | headed by the army and navy has established a limited constitutional ' tnonrehy.
