Other Subjects Discussed
fe't. Lours, June 16. The resolutions committee of the Democratic
convention, after 24 hours of deliberation, finished its draft of a platform
At 8 o'clock today.
fha' plank on Americanism condemns the activities of all persons,
groups and organizations in the United States that conspire to advance
the interests of a foreign power.
"Thorough preparedness on land and sea against any possible invasion
and the joining of the United States with other nations to "assist the
worid In securing settled peace and justice" are urged.
'6n 'the Metican question the platform asserts that American troops
should remain in Mexico untH the restoration of law and order and as
ertV that intervention ts revolting to the people of the United States.
l$her pranks declare for the principle of woman's suffrage but leaving
its adoption or rejection to the separate States; for a merchant marine,
good roads, conservation and improved conditions for the farmer.
A VIGOROUS PLANK ON AMERICANISM.
On Americanism the platform says: "The part that the United State
will $lay in the new day of international relationship now upon us will
depend upon our preparation and our character.
"This is an issue of patriotism. To steep it with partisanship would
be to defile It. In this day of test America must show itself not the nation
of partisans but the nation of patriots. There is gathered here in Amer
. lea the best of the blood, the industry and the genius of the whole world,
the element of a great race and magnificent society to be melted Into a
mighty and splendid nation.
"Whoever, actuated by the purpose to promote tho Interest of a
foreign power In disregard of our own country's welfare or to injure this
government In its foreign relations or cripple or destroy its home Indus
trie! or whoever by arousing prejudices of a racial, religious or other
nature creates discord among our people so as to obstruct the whole sum
process' of unification, is faithless to the trust which the privileges of
citixehship repose In him and disloyal to his country.
"We therefore condemn as subversive of the nation's unity and integ
rity and as destructive of its welfare the activities and designs of every
group or organization, political or otherwise, that has for Us object the ad
vancement of the interests of foreign powers, whether sunn, objects aro pro
moted Tby intimidating the government, a political party or representatives
tot tho peopla or which is calculated and tends to divide our people into an
tagonistic groups and thus destroy that complete agreement and solidarity
of the people and that unity of sentiment and national purpose so essen
tial to the perpetuity of the nation and its free institutions. '
We condemn all alliances and combinations of individuals in this
country of whatever nationality or defense who agree and conspire together
for the purpose of embarrassing or weakening our government or of im
properly influencing or coercing our public representatives in dealing or ne
gotiating with any foreign power. We charge that such conspiracies
among a limited number exist and have been instigated for the purpose
of advancing the interests of foreign countries to the detriment of our
country. We condemn any political party which, in view of the activity of
uch'conspirators, rirrenders Its Integrity or modifies its policy,
"i ! STRONG DECLARATION ON PREPAREDNESS.
On'preparedness: "We favor the milntenance of an army fully adequate
to the requirements of order, of safety and of the protection of the nation's
rank," the fullest development of modern methods of se'acoast defense and
the Maintenance of an adequate reserve of citizens trained to arms and pre
pared to safeguard the people and territories of the U. S. against danger
whica may unexpectedly arise; and a fixed policy for the continuous de
velopment of a navy .worthy to support the great naval traditions of the
V. S'and fully equal to the international task which the U. S. hopes and
experts to take a part in forming. The plans and enactments of the
present congress afford proof of our purpose in this exigent matter."
J POSITION ON THE MEXICAN QUESTION
Cn Mexico: "The Monroe doctrine is reasserted as a principle of
Democratic faith. That doctrine guarantees an independent republic of the
two America against aggression from another continent. It implies as well
the most scrupulous regard on our part for the sovereignty of each of
them. The want of a stable responsible government in Mexico capable of
repressing bandit bands who have not only taken the lives and property
of American citizens in that country but have insolently! invaded our soil
and murdered our people there, has rendered it necessary to occupy by
our armed forces a portion of that friendly state, until by the restoration
of law and order thereon a repetition of such incursions is improbable.
."Intervention, implying as it does military subjugation, is revolting
to the people of the United States notwithstanding the provocation to that,
course has been great and should be resorted to if at all only as the last
resort, . The, stubborn resistance of the President and advisers to every
demand and suggestion to enter upon it is creditable alike to them and
to the people in whose name he speaks.
""We declare our faith in the seaman's act passed by the Democratic
congress and we promise our earnest continuance of its enforcement.
"We favor the speedy enactment of an effective federal child labor
.'aw and the regulation of the shipment of prison made goods in inter
state commerce."--

SHAVE 'EM OFF,- BARBERS
TO G. C. P. CANDIDATES
St. I.ou1s. June 17. The Barbers'
Union of St. Louis at a meeting pass
ed resolutions calling upon the Re
publican candidates for president and
vice president to have their long
whiskers removed. The resolution,
which was considered a Jest by most
of the barbers, read:
Whereas, The presidential and vice
presidential nominees of the Republi
can party are guilty and have been
guilty for some time of wearing long,
unshorn whiskers;
Therefore, He it resolved, that this
organisation go on record as object
ing to these whiskers, claiming that
the whiskers are a detriment to the
barbers of St. Louis and the United
States In the example they set. It Is.
therefore, desired by the barbers of
St. Louis and vicinity that these whis
kers be immediately removed. ,
V. E. narch. president of the Bar
bers' Sate Examining Board, said he
probably would personally mall con
ies of the resolution to the candi
St. Louis, June 1G. One of tho
features of the Democratic convention
was Mr. Bryan's speech last evening.
The Nebraskan's remarks made a de
cided hit.
when he took the stand he was
given a tremendous reception. The
crowd was wildly enthusiastic.
Mr. Bryan expressed his apprecia-
tion of the honor conferred by the
invitation.
"Every Democratic convention is a
love feast to me," he said, "It gives
me an opportunity to meet and renew
acquaintances with men whom I have
been associated with in politics for
more than twenty years."
Reviewing the struggles of the
party, Mr. Bryan said:
"After sixteen years of waiting, our
party entered the White House and
fortunately we won the Senate and
the House at the same time. Our par
ty became responsible for national af
fairs, and now we come after three
years of labor to make our plans for
the future, and to submit to the
American people the claims of our
party to continued confidence.
"Whatever differences of opinion
may exist, or may have existed, as to
particular measures or particular acts
we are here to begin the fight of
1916, a united party in every State
in the Union, ready for battle.
'Today those who stand for the
Democratic party are able to go be
fore this nation and not only give a
reason for the faith that ia in them,
but give a defense of the administra
tion's claims to the confidence of the
people.
"You may take all the administra
tions from the beginning of our his
tory as a republic to the beginning
of the present one and you will not
find as many laws written, upon the
statue books, of great importance
to the people as you will find written
in the last three years by Woodrow
Wilson, a Democratic president."
Mr. Bryan then referred to the
tariff revision, the federal . reserve
law and the strengthening of the anti
trust laws.
"While our president and Congress
es were at Work," continued Mr.
Bryan, "constructing this splendid
pyramid of performance a war came
that threw upon this administration
such burdens as no president has had
to bear within the last fifty years.
We inherited from a Republican ad
ministration an insurrection in Mex
ico. This administration has dealt
with that situation and the Republic
can party is now challenging a ver
dict before the country on the Mexi
can question.
"We have a few men interested in
ranches, and a . few interested in
mines, who would use the blood of
American soldiers to guarantee pro
fits and their investments In a foreign
land. But that is not the sentiment
of the American people. The people
of this country stand back of Wood
row Wilson in his determination not
to intervene in the affairs of Mexico.
"Why, my friends, If President Wil
son yielded to the demand of those
who have clamored .for intervention
In Mexico we would no sooner havf
crossed the line than the same men
would tell him that the soldiers must
never come out, for, my friends, an
nexation is the next step after inter
vention has been undertaken. And
if we Invaded Mexico these same men
would say 'on to Panama.'
"But, my friends, the president not
only has to deal with war to tho
south of us, hut with war to the east
of us. My friends I have differed
from our president on some of the
methods employed in this war, but I
am. one of those who desire sincerely
that this nation shall not become a
participant in the dreadful conflict.
"We have a record ujion which we
can appeal to the people for their
support without fear and . without
blush. I believe the American people,
grateful for what this administration
has done, grateful that we have peace
in this country when war stalks
throughout the world, will not be un
mindful of the fact that it was a Dem
ocratic president, supported by a Dem
ocratic senate and house, who has
thus saved the country the horrors o'
that war.
"My friends, I believe that there Is
now before this country an opportun
ity such as no other country has nev
er had since the beginning of time.
I believe that God, in his providence,
has reserved for tUe United States the
honor and the task of lifting the
moral code that governs Individuals
up to the level of nations and making
it a part of the code of all nations.
"If the nations now at war had spent
one-tenth as much trying to cultivate
friendship as they, have spent In try
ing to cultivate hatred there would
be no war In Europe today.
"It I understand this nation's op
portunity and this nation's task, it is
to lead the world away from its false
philosophy and help it to build its
hope of peace on the en. luring found
ation of love and brotherhood and co
operation. "And, my friends, if this is to be
the task of this nation, what party
is so fit to perform the task than tho
party that preaches the brotherhood o?
man as next in importance to tin
fatherhood of God?
"I, as a lover of my country, want
my country to win this greatest of all
prizes. As a Democrat. I want my
party to have the honor that shall
come with the accomplishment and
fulfillment of such a task and I stand
with the Democrats of the nation to
give to Woodrow Wilson an oppor-
tuaiL: & is H iBA"

reason for doing anything that might
plunge our country into the ruin
which is only too evident in the Euro
pean nations. '
"Had President Wilson warned
Americans to keep off vessels of bel
ligerents as Sweden had done and as
England had done during the Japan

national relations would never have
arisen."

Condition Not Regarded
Alarming.

Roosevelt was still In pain today as
the result; of the breaking of tendons

Dr. Arthur Dual, whom he visited to
day, also declared that the Colonel's
illness was not serious.
Colonel Roosevelt, when he heard
that alarming reports were about that
he was dangerously ill, consented to
see newspaper men.
"The trouble is really trivial," ho
said, "simply a couple of tendons
snapped. I have a heavy cold in the
chest and whenever I cough it dis
tresses me. When I get rid of the
cold it will all dissapear in a natural
way."
Dr. Dual said:
"The Colonel has a very irritating
cough but it is absolutely nothing ser
ious. It is distressing and painful
but purely a local condition. Dr.
Derby, his son-hvlaw, has strapped
him up so as to alleviate the pain as
much as possible. His condition is
improving very rapidly."
The Colonel was questioned as to
the political situation but he said,
"I am out of politics."
