Milwaukee, June 29.-William JenBryan was strongly indorsed ns the standard bearer of the national Democratic party in the campaign of 1908 by the Democratic state convenwhich has adjourned sine die. There were only two occasions in which Bryan's name was mentioned during the day, and those were when the resolutions were read as a whole, and again when the planks were adoptseparately. In both instances his name was cheered repeatedly and the words "Bryan, Bryan, Bryan, three cheers for Bryan," brought forth a tuof applause which continued some
time before the chairman could restore order. Comment on the Platform. The convention held two sessions and spent several hours in deliberating over a platform of principles, which was prepared by the committee on resoluafter an all-night session. While several of the planks embraced in the document as presented to the convenwere sought to be changed by a minority of the delegates, with two exceptions the original draft stands at the close of the convention as it came from the committee. Municipal Ownership Wins. One of these exceptions is the addof a few extra words to the tarplank, favoring the placing free all commodities supplied by any trust or monopoly. The other exception is the adding of an extra plank denouncing the contributions of vast sums of monfor corrupt uses in national and state affairs. The plank which came in for the most criticism and consid
erable debate was that bearing upon municipal ownership. National Com
mitteeman Ryan fought hard against the addition of the plank, but when the deciding vote was called for, the opponents were apparently very few.
Points of the Platform. The platform denounces trusts and
demands their suppression; favors re
vision of the tariff on the principle of tariff for revenue, and the putting on the free list of all trust products; denational reservation of all coal and oil lands; favors an income tax;
demands a promise with fixd date of
and for independence of the Philipislands; favors election of senaby the people, and government control of all public service corporaAs to state matters the platfavors fixing of railway rates by the state; city ownership of public servutilities, the city control of street railway fares and gas rates; favors a 2-cent-a-mile law, and laws giving to capital and labor impartially their rights; also ad valorem taxation of corand primary election laws.
