TARIFF REFORM IS
DEMOCRATIC CREEO
Leading Plank of Platform
Adopted by Baltimore Con
vention .
FAVORS FIGHT ON TRUSTS
Action a# Republican Administration
In Compromising With Standard
Oil and Tobacco Comblnoa
Condemned —Views on
Othor Subjects.
Following arc the principal planks
of the platform adopted by the Demo
cratic national convention at Balti
more.
The Tariff Reform.
"We declare It to be a fundamental
principle of the Democratic party
that the federal government under
the Constitution has no right or pow
er to impose or collect tariff duties
except for the purpose of revenue
and we demand that the collection of
such taxes shall be limited to the ne
cessities of government honestly and
economically administered.
"The high Republican tariff la the
principal cause of the unequal distri
bution of wealth; It is a system of
taxation which makes the rich richer
and the poor poorer; under Its opera
tions the American farmer and labor
ing man are the chief aufferers; It
raises the cost of the necessaries of
life to them, but does not protect their
produet or wages.
"We favor the Immediate down
ward revision of the existing high,
and in many cases, prohibitive tariff
duties, insisting that material reduc
tions be speedily made upon the nec
essaries of life. Articles entering in
to competition with trust controlled
products and articles of American
manufacture where aold abroad more
cheaply than at home could- be put
upon the free list.
"We denounce the action of Presi
dent Taft In vetoing the bllla to re
duce the tariff In the cotton, woolen,
metals and chemicals schedules and
the farmers free list bills, all of
which waa designed to give Immedi
ate relief to the masses from the ex
actions of the trusts.
"The Republican party, while
promising tariff revision, has shown
by Its tariff legislation that such re
vision is not to be In the people's In
terests and having bean faithless to
Its pledges of 1908 It should no longer
enjoy the confidence of the nation.
High Cost of Living.
"The high cost of living la a se
rious problem in every American
home. The Republican party In ita
platform attempta to escape from re
sponsibility for present conditions by
denying that they are due to a pro
tective tariff. We take Issue with
them on this subject and charge that
excessive prices result in a large
measure from the high tariff laws en
acted and maintained by the Repub
lican party, and from trusts and com
mercial conspirators fostered and en
couraged by such laws, and we assert
that po substantial relief can be se
cured lor the people until Import du
ties on the necessaries of life are ma
terially reduced. thoej criminal
conspfraciei broken up.
Antl-Tru|t L»w.
"A private Ihonopoly Is indefensi
ble and Intolerable. We therefore fa-
Tor the vigorous enforcement of the
criminal as well as the J civil law
against trusts and trust officials, and
demand enactment of such additional
legislation as may be necessary to
make 1\ for a private mo
nopoly to exist in the United States.
"We condemn the action of the Re
publican administration in compro
mising with the Standard Oil Com
pany and the tobacco trust and its
failure to Invoke the criminal pro
visions of the anti-trust law against]
tho officers of those corporations aft
er the court had declared that from
the undisputed facts in the record
they had violated the criminal provis
ions of the law.
' "We regret that Sherman anti trust
law has received a Judicial construc
tion depriving It of much of its ef
ficacy, and we favbr the enactment of
legislation which will restore to the
statute the strength of which it has
been deprived by such interpretation.
Income Tax and Popular Election ef
Senators.
"We congratulate the country upon
the triumph of two Important reforms
demanded in the last national plat
form, namely, the amendment of the
federal constitution authorising an in
come tax and the amendment provid
ing for the popular election of sena
tors, and we call upon the people of
all the states to rally to the support
of the pending propositions and secure
their ratification.
"We note with gratification the
unanimous sentiment In favor of
The Old-Fashioned Fire.
Could anything be more refreshing
than the smell of the old-fashioned
wood fire in late spring or early au
tumn? There is something grimy in
the reek of coal, and the odor of gas

publicity before the election of cam

manded In our national platform of
1908 and at that time opposed by the
Republican party, and we commend
the Democratic House of Representa
tives for extending the doctrine of
publicity to recommendations, verbal
and written, upon which presidential
appointments are mads, to the own
ership and control of newspapers and
to the expenditures made by and in
behalf of those who aspire to presi
dential nominations and we point for
additional Justification for this legis
lation to the enormous expenditures of
money In behalf of the president and
his predecessor In the recent contest
for the Republican nomination for
president
Preeldential Primaries.
"The movement towards more popu
lar government should be promoted
through lsglslatlon In eaoh state which
will permit the expreeslon of the pref
erence of the electors for national can
didates at presidential primaries.
"We direct that the national com
mittee Incorporate in the call for the
next nominating convention n require
ment that all expreeslons of preference
for preeldential candidates shall be
glvsn and ths selection of delegates
and alternates be through n primary
election conducted by the party or
ganisation In each state where such
expression and election are not pro
vided for by a (ate law.
Term of Preeldent
"We favor a single preeldential
term, and to the end urge the adoption
of an amendment to the constitution
making the preeldent of the United
Statea ineligible to re-election, and we
pledge the candidate of this conven
tion to this principle.
Rsllroade, Express Companlee, Tele
graph end Telephone Linee.
"We favor the efficient supervision
and rate regulation of railroads, ex
press companies, telegraph and tele
phone lines engaged in Interstate com
merce. To this snd we recommend
the valuation of railroads, express
companies, telegraph and telephone
llnea by the Interstate commeroe com
mission, such valuation to take Into
consideration the physical value of the
property, the original coat, the cost
of reproduction, and any element of
value that will render the valuation
fair and juat.
Banking Leglalatlon.
"We oppose the so-called Aldrlch
bill or the establishment of a cen
tral bank, and we believe the people of
the country will be largely freed from
panics and consequent un-employment
and business depression by such a sys
tematic revision of our banking laws
as will render temporary relief in lo
calities where such relief is needed,
with protection from control or dom
ination by what is known.as the
money trust.
Parcels Post and Rural Delivery.
"We favor the establishment of a
parcels post or postal express, and
also the extension of the rural de
livery system as rapidly as practic
able.
The campaign contributions plank
pledge* the party to the enactment of
a law prohibiting any corporation
from contributing to a campaign fund.
It alao limita individual contribution!
to a "reasonable maximum."
The Democratic congress Is heartily
commended for its long list of laws
for the benefit of the people after a
generation of unlimited power by the
Republican party. The next plank
arraigns the Republican party for
waste of "the money wrung from the
people bjr oppressive taxgtlon."
A plank ofi rural ctedlts is of Im
portance. it Is recommended that »n
Investigation of agricultural credit so
cieties In foreign countries be made
looking toward devising a suitable sys
tem for the United States. A water*
ways plank provides for federal con
trol of the Mississippi and other war
terways. The plan is to maintain an
average depth on the big river so It
will be navigable, and construct docks
to prevent further floods. This plank
alsq favors draining of all swamp
lands.
The platform favors post roads. It
reaffirms Its declarations In the 1908
platform In regard to labor. It holds
there should be a modification of tfe*
lnjunctlonal laws.
It also recommends a department of
labor with % cabinet officer.
The conservation plank Is also of
Importance and holds that conserva
tion and development should proceed
for the benefit of all the people. Im
mediate action Is favored to mfcke
available the coal deposits of Alaska.
A pure food and public health plank
declares for the union and strength
ening of the various governmental
agencies relating to pure food, quaran
tine, vital statistics and human health.
This department should be admlnl*-
tered without partiality or discrimina
tion In favor of or against any school
of medicine. The civil service law
should be honestly and rigidly en

Baltimore. —A monotonous succes
sion of roll calls brought no nomina

delegates were still answering the
droning voice of the reading clerk.
The results of the roll calla np ta

There waa no change of more than 6
votes In the totala up to that time.
The ateady gain of the Wilaon vote
had culminated with a count of 354 on

the balloting. Harmon lost slowly
but steadily from his 148 of the flrit
ballot Underwood gained a trifle.
The leaders of the various factions
hurried about the hall. The air was
full of rumors of "deals" and "trades."
A shift that would throw a deciding
vote to one candidate or another was
looked for on every ballot by some of
the delegates while others expected
an all-night session.
The long predicted "break" in the
New York delegation came on the
tenth ballot when Leader Murphy an
nounced 81 of the 90 \otes from that
state for Clark. He got no further
when a great demonstration broke out
among the Speaker's delegatea and
friends.
While it was in progress there
were several flstcuffs on the floor.
Those who claimed to be in the con
fidence of the New York delegates
predicted there would W a switch
away from Clark on subsequent bal
lots.
Murphy later announced that the
New York delegation showed 81 for
Clark, 8 for Wilson and 1 for Under
wood, but under the unit rule gave
all iti* 90 votes to Clark.

Baltimore. Hope of nomination
on the twenty-seventh ballot for Pree
ldent was practically abandoned by
Democratic leaders Sunday night
When the national convention ad
journed for Sunday it was believed
that some solution of the long dead
. look would result from conferences
between the champions of the three
leading candidates, but it developed (
that the time hal not arrived for the
withdrawal of either Speaker Clark,
Governor Wilson or Representative
Underwood. It waa not expected that
the first ballot Monday would differ
materially from the twenty-sixth.
Campaign managers possible might
have reached some agreement if in
terested in the deadlock had not been
dwarfed by the personal controversy
developed between William J. Bryan
and Speaker Clark. The visit of Mr.
Clark to Baltimore overshadowed
everything elae.
Party leaders generally took the po
sition, notwithstanding the Missou
rian's impassioned denial of Mr.
Bryan's imputation that he was be
holden to Morgan, Belmont and Ryan,
that he would be unable to regain the
votes he had lost At the same time
many of them thought that sympa
thy for Mr. Clark and the inevitable
linking of Bryan and Wilson In ths
minds of delegatea, by reason of the
New Jersey candidate having been
the beneficiary of the votee turned
away from Mr. Clark by the Nebrae
k&n's phillipic, had injured the chance
of Wilson's nomination.
If Clark and Wilson fall on the
next two or three ballots It waa pre
dicted that there would be a turn to
Representative Underwood, who had
held his normal vote from first to last

Several Big Breaks Are Expected.
Baltimore. —Denial was made Sun
day night of a report that the Illinois
delegation, which has been for Speaker
Clark throughout would go to Wilson
on the first ballot Monday.
It was reported also that the Indian
delegation, which had been held intact
for Governor Marshall would split.
Several delegates said this might oc
cur as the delegation was not bound
by the unit rulA. The lowa delegation
also was reported as preparing to
swing to some candidate other than
Clark.
Candidates Rest en Their Oars.

Baltimore. —The deadlock in the
Democratic national convention over
* presidential nominee aeemed mora
complete than ever when adjournment
wa> taken Monday night, until noon
Tuesday. Woodrow Wilson had made
steady gains during Monday's ballot
ins until he reached a high water
mark of 601 1-S rotes on the thirty
ninth ballot. He remained stationary
on the fortieth ballot and then began
to lose ground. The last ballot was
the -forty-second, when Governor Wil
son polled 494 votes.
Speaker Champ Clark reacher the
lowest ebb of hia candidacy on the
ballot where Wilson reached a crest
By the time the fortieth ballot had
been concluded there was seemingly
no hope of a nomination. The dele
gates sat In a sort of stupor. The roll
call clerks entered the vote mechani
cally often without waiting for the
responses from the various states. At
the end of the fortieth ballot a tired
Alabma delegate -move to adjourn but
when a roll call on the motion was de
manded by the Wilson forces he with
drew it.
Another attempt was made to ad
