DEMOCRATIC Governor Wilson, in his acceptance, ays : "A platform is not a rcgram."

Senators to be elected by direct Vote; and we favor preferential priKnaries. No plank. We denounce as usurpation the efforts of our opponents to deprive the States of any of the rights reserved to them, and to enlarge and magnify by Indirection the powers of the Federal Government. No abridgment of the right of the wage-earners and producers to organize for the protection of wages and the improvement of labor conditions. We pledge the Democratic party, so far as the Federal jurisdiction extends, to an employe's compensation law. We favor the extension of the Bureau of Mines. No plank. We believe In the growth of a merchant marine. We favor a law increasing security gf life and property at sea. We declare it to be a fundamental (principle that the Federal Government ihas no right or power to impose or collect tariff duties, except for the purpose of revenue. Excessive prices result in a large Vneasure from the high tariff laws enacted and maintained by the Republican party. , We oppose the so-called Aldrich bill Br the establishment of a central bank. . Make available the coal deposits of tAlaska under conditions that will guarantee against their falling into the hands of corporations or interests. , Co-operation of tha United States end the respective States in plans for (treatment of all waterways. Legislation forbidding the use of the Panama Canal by ships owned or controlled by railroad carriers competitive with the Canal.

PROGRESSIVE

With all my heart and soul, I pledge you my word, to endeavor, so far as strength is given me, to carry out In the interests of our whole people the policies to which you have today solemnly dedicated yourselves. THEODORE ROOSEVELT. j The Jinle of the People. Preferential primaries, direct election of United States Senators, the short ballot, with responsibility to tha people secured by the initiative, referendum and recall. Amendment of Constitution. A more expeditious method of amending the Federal Constitution. J National and State Rights. J Natlenal Jurisdiction on those prob- ! lems which have expanded beyond the i reach of the individual States. Social and Industrial Justice. Effective legislation for the prevention of industrial accidents, occupational diseases, overwork, involuntary unemployment. m Safety and health standards for the various occupations. The prohibition of child labor. Minimum wage for working women. The prohibition of night work for women and an eight-hour day for women. One day's rest in seven for all wage-workers. The eight-hour day in twenty-four-hour industries. The abolition of the convict contract labor system. Full publicity as to wages, hours and conditions of labor. Standards of compensation for inJury, trade disease and death by industrial accident. The protection of home life against the hazards of sickness, irregular employment and old age through a system of social insurance.

Business. -a The test of true prosperity shall be the benefit conferred on all citizens and not to individuals or classes; the test of corporate efficiency shall be the ability better to serve the public. National regulation of interstate corporations. Corporate power has been abused. In monopoly of national resources, in stock watering, in unfair competition and unfair privileges, and, finally, in sinister influences cu the public agencies of State and Nation. We insist that it shall be exercised openly, under publicity, supervision and regulation of the most efficient sort, which will preserve its good while eradicating and preventing its evils. A strong Federal administrative commission, maintaining supervision ''over industrial corporations engaged In interstate commerce, as the Government now does for the national banks, and for the railroads by the Interstate Commerce Commission.

The appointment of diplomatic and consular officers solely with a view to their special fitness and worth. Tariff. A protective tariff which shall equalize conditions of competition between the United States and foreign countries, both for the farmer and the manufacturer, and which shall maintain for labor an adequate standard of living. No industry deserves protection which is unfair to labor. Fair dealing toward the people requires an immediate downward revision. A non-partisan scientific tariff commission. We condemn the Payne-Aldrich bill as unjust to the people. The Democratic party is committed to tariff for revenue only a policy which would inevitably produce industrial disaster. Repeal of Canadian Reciprocity aot High Cost of Living. Full and immediate inquiry and Immediate action to deal with every need such inquiry discloses. Currency. Legislation for the improvement of our national currency system. We are opposed to the so-called Aldrich currency bill. Conservation. Natural resources, whose conservation is necessary for the national welfare, should be owned and controlled by the nation, and on this basis should be promptly developed and generously used to supply the people's needs. Waterways. Development of our rivers, especially the Mississippi and its tributaries, without delay. Panama CanaL The Panama Canal, built and paid for by the American people, must be used for their benefit; ships directly or indtrectly owned or controlled by Ameiicanvrailroad corporations shall not be permitted to use tire canal, and American ships engaged in coastwise trade shall pay no tolls. Panama Canal Exposition. No plank. The Murray. One of the most ambitious vaudeville offerings seen at the Murray this season is that of the Adair-Webb Amusement Company, which put on "The Girl from Shauleys" this afternoon, the act being a sort of abbreviated musical comedy and pleasing its large Monday afternoon audience. The company is a large one for vaudeville including a number of principals, of whom Eddie Adair is the Btar, and with some excellent chorus numbers, several of the songs making a great hit, especially "Oh! How the Germans
