PAGE FOt' TAU-IEASSEE DAILY DEMOCRAT FRIDAY, JUNE 29, 113 COMPLETE PLATFORM OF DEMOCRATS ANNOUNCED Vi (a) The federal reserve system created and inaugurated "under Democratic auspices is the greatest legislative contribution to constructive business ever adopted. The administration of the system for the advantage of stock market speculators should cease. It must be administered for the benefit of farmers, wage earners, merchants, manufacturers and others engaged in constructive business. Tariff The Democratic tariff Wisla. lief legislation and has sought to Justify his action.

Foreign Policy (The Republican administration has no foreign policy; it has drifted without plan. Thia great nation cannot afford to play a minor role in world politics. It must have a sound and positive foreign policy not a negative one. We declare for a constructive foreign policy based on these principles: (a) Outlawry of war and an abhorrence of militarism, conquest and imperialism. (b) Freedom from entangling political alliances with foreign nations.

(e) Protection of American lives and rights. (d) Non-interference with the elections or other internal political affairs of any foreign nation. and in the eighth added another. Only three of Tallahassee's runs were earned, three errors by the visitors, coming at critical times, added to the result. Yesterday's game ended a week at home for the locals.

One of the contests that with Perry for last Tuesday was raintf out. Tallahassee will play here next Wednesday, July 4, when the Thomasville South Georgia League team comes over for a game in the afternoon fallowing a contest between the two teams in Thomas-viille on the morning of the 4th. The Capitals' other two game3 for the week are scheduled away from home. Season tickets will not be honored at the Wednesday afternoon game. It was explained today that the receipts will be split between the two teams.

The box score of the game yes and extend all practical aid to refinance reclamation and drainage projects. Labor (a) We favor the principle of collective bargaining and the Democratic principle that organized labor should choose its own representatives without coercion or interference. (b) Labor is not a commodity. Human rights must be safeguarded. Labor should be exempt from the operation of anti-trust laws.

(c) We recognize that legislative and other investigations have shown the existence of grave abuses in the issuance of injunctions in labor disputes. No injunctions should be granted" in labor disputes except upon proof of threatened irreparable injury -and after notice and hearing and the injunction should be confined to those acts which do directly threaten irreparable injury. The expressed purpose of representatives of cap The federal government should offer to the states such counsel, advice, results of research and aid as may be made available through the federal agencies for the general improvement of our schools in view of our national need3. Monopolies and Anti-Trust Laws. During the last seven years, under Republican rule the anti-trust laws have been thwarted, ignored and violated so that the country is rapidly becoming controlled by trusts and sinister monopolies formed for the purpose of wringing from the necessaries of life an unrighteous profit.

These combinations are often formed and conducted in violation of laws, encouraged, aided and abetted in their activities by Republican administration and are driving all small trades people and small industrialists out of business. Competition is one of the most cherished and 'economic rights of the American people. We demand the strict enforcement of the anti-trust laws and the enactment of other laws, if necessary, to control thi3 great menace to trade and commerce, and thus to who have betrayed their trust by disgracirg it. Fonomy and Reorganixation The Democratic party stands for efficiency and economy in the administration of public affairs and we pledge: (a Business like organization of all departments of the government. (b'i Elimination of duplication, waste and overlapping.

(c) Substitution of modern business like method's for existing obsolete and antiquated conditions. No economy resulted from the Republican party rule. The savings they claim take no account of the elimination of expenditures following the end of the World War, the large sums realized from the fale of war materials, not its failure to supply sufficient funds for the efficient conduct of many important governmental activities, finance and Taxation (continued from page one) Republican campaign purposes to the public men who set by consenting and never revealing a fact nor uttering a word in condemnation, the whole official organization under Republican rule has become saturated 'with dishonesty defiant cf pub'ie opinion and actuated only by a partisan desire to perpetuate Its control of the government. As in "the times of Samuel J. Tilden, from whom the presidency was stolen, the watchword of the day should be: ''Turn, the rascals put." This is the appeal of the party to the people of the country.

To hi? iixed purpose should be devotee? every effort and applied every resource of the party; to this and every minor difference on non-essential issues should lie put aside and determined" and united fight be made to rescue the government from those ES 89. It was said of Albany's team that all but "Uncle" Andy Hill and McDuffie shot below their average. Mr. HTI1 was ard en joyed the race perhaps most of all. "Mack" let his rabbit get away for good when Tallahassee scored the perfect 125.

Before this he brok a perfect 50, and always above 96. Capt. Royall lost three straight when a whiff of wind blew powder smoke in his eyes, and for this perhaps fell a little below his usual record. Shooting stoppfl until Royall could wash his eye, after which he only dropped two birds in 87 shots. Collins and McCants led the locals with a 98 each.

Lately these two are always right. Bradford is improving following a the first of the season. "Lucky" Lou, too, is picking up lately. The next event is the Elks' shoot at Miami, and Tallahassee will seek new laurels there. Following this the team race between picked men from Georgia, Florida, and Alabama will have a try at the $400 prize offered by Barron Collier.

There is a chance that this prize will De raised to $500. Much credit is being given Pete Schutt of Albany for getting the revival of interest started in this section. His name on any shoot is guarantee that added interest will be found there. No sportsman is better known and loved than P. P.

(c) Abolition of log-rolling and restoration of the Wilson conception of a fact-finding tariff commission, quasi-judicial and free from the executive domination which has destroyed the usefulness of the present commission. (d) Duties that will permit effective competition, insure against monopoly and at the same time produce a fair revenue for the sup- port of the government. Actual difference between the cost of production at home and abroad, with adequate safeguard for the wage of the American laborer, must be the extreme measure of every tariff rate.

e) Safeguarding the public against monopoly created by special tariff favors. (f) Equitable distribution of the benefits and burdens of the tariff among all. Wage earner, farmer, stockman, producer and legitimate business in general have everything to gain from a Democratic tariff based on justice to all. Civil Service Grover Cleveland made the extension of the merit system a tenet of our political faith. We shall preserve and maintain the civil service.

Agriculture Deception upon the farmer and stock raiser has been practiced by the Republican party through false and delusive promises for more than fifty years. Specially favored1 industries have been artificially aided by; Republican legislation. Comparatively little has been done for agriculture and stock raising upon which national prosperity rests. Unsympathetic unaction with regard to this problem Virulent hostility of the Republican administration to the advocates of farm relief and denial of the right of farm organizations to lead in the development of farm policy must yield to Democratic sympathy and friendliness. Four years ago, the Republican party, forced to acknowledge the critical situation, pledged itself to take all steps necessary to bring back a balanced condition between agriculture and other industries and labor.

Today it faces the country not only with that pledge bht broken by the acts of a Republican president who is primarily responsible for the failure to offer a constructive program to restore quality to agriculture. While he had no constructive and adequate program to offer in its stead, he has twice vetoed farm re No. 2 can, 2 for 25c Orange Pekoe, Vi lb; 23c Vst Ik 43c This principle of extends to Mexico, Nicaragua and all other Latin-American nations.

(f) International agreements for reduction of all armaments, and the end of competitive war preparations and, in the meantime, the maintenance of an army and navy adequate for national defense. (g) Full, free and open co-operation with all other nations of the promotion of peace and justice throughout the world. (h) In our foreign relations, this country should stand a3 a unit, and to be successful, foreign policies must have the approval and the support of the American people. (1) Abolition of the practice of the president of entering into and carrying out agreements with a foreign government, either de facto or de jure, or the protection of such government against revolution or foreign attack, or for the supervision of its internal affairs, when such agreements have not been advised and consented1 to by the senate as provided in the Constitution of the United States, and we condemn the administration for carrying out such an unratified agreement that requires us to use our armed forces in Nicaragua.

We shall seek their friendly co-or eration in the maintenance of this doctrine. Conservation and Reclamation We shall conserve the natural resources of our country for the benefit of the people and to protect them against waste and monopolization. Our disappearing resources of timber call for a na-, tional policy of reforestation. The federal government should improve and develop its public lands so that they may go into private own-srship and become subject to taxation for the support of the states wherein they exist.

(d) We favor legislation providing that products of convict labor shipped from one state to another shall be subject to laws of the latter state as though they had been produced therein. Teterang Through Democratic votes, and in spite of two Republican presidents opposition, the congress has maintained America's traditional policy to generously care for the veterans of the World War, In extending them free hospitaliza tions a statutory award for tuberculosis, a program of progressive hospital construction, and provisions for compensation for the disabled, the widows and orphans, America has surpassed the record of any nation in the world. We pledge the veterans that none of the benefits heretofore accorded by the Wilson administration and the votes of Democratic members of congress shall be withdrawn; that these will be added to more in accordance with veterans' and their dependents' actual needs.

Generous appropriations, honest management, the removal of vexatious administration delays and sympathetic assistance of the veterans of all wars is what the Democratic party demands and promises. Women and Children We declare for equality of women with men in all political and governmental matters. Children are the chief asset of the nation. Therefore, their protection through infancy and child hood against exploitation is an important national duty. The Democratic party has always opposed the exploitation of women in industry and has stood for such conditions of work as will reserve their health and safety.

We favor an equal wage for equal service; and likewise favor adequate appropriations for the women's and children's bureau. Immigration Laws which limit immigration must be preserved in full force and effect, but the provisions contained in these laws that separate husbands and wives and parents from infant children are inhuman and not essential to the purpose of the efficacy of such law. Law Enforcement The Republican party for eight years in complete control of the government at Washington, present the remarkable spectacle of feeling compelled in its national platform to promise obeoTience to a provision of the federal constitution which it has flagrantly disregarded and to apologize to the country for its failure to enforce laws enacted by the congress of the United States. Speaking for the national democracy, this convention pledges the party and its nominees to an honest effort to enforce the Eighteenth amendment and all other provisions of the federal constitution and all laws enacted pursuant thereto. Merchant Murine We reaffirm our support of an efficient, dependable American merchant marine for the carriage of the greater portion of our commerce and for the national defense.

Education We believe with Jefferson and other founders of the republic that ignorance is the enemy of freedom and that each state, being responsible for the intellectual anu moral qualifications of its citizens and for the expenditure of the monies collected by taxation for the support of its schools, shall use its sovereign right in all matters pertaining, to education. preserve the right of the small merchant and manufacturer to earn a legitimate profit from his business. Dishonest business should be treated without influence at the national capital. Honest business, no matter its size, need have no fears of a Democratic administra tion. The Democratic party will ever oppose illegitimate and dishonest business.

It will foster, promote and encourage all legitimate Business enterprises. Flood Control Being deeply impressed by the terrible disasters from floods in the Mississippi valley during 10-7, we heartily endorse the flood cofK trol act of last May, which recognizes that the flood waters of the Mississippi river and its tributaries constitute a national problem of the gravest character and makes provision for their speedy and effective control. This measure is a continuation and expansion of that policy established by a Democratic congress in 1017 in the act of that year for controlling floods on the Mississippi and Sacramento rivers. It is a great piece of constructive legislation and we pledge our party to its vigorous and early enforcement. CAPITAL CITY MF.X TAKE SHOOT CUP (Continued from page 1) United States.

ERS ONLY TWO HITS IN GOOD GAME The Tallahassee and Perry baseball teams yesterday maintained a pace which recently has characterized play in the North Florida League holding the apitals on top with Perry less than a game behind in the standing. Tallahassee walloped Monticello in a game here, 5 to 0, while Terry also blanked Madison in what must have been an excellent contest. The score was I to 0. Monticello's defeat was a victory for "French LeBlanc, old high school hurler, who pitched an airtight game, allowing only two hits, one of which was a scratch. To add to his stellar game, "Frenchy" led his teammates at bat, garnering two of the eight hils of the day, out of four times at bat.

His stick played a prominent part in the Capitals' six runs. Monticello never threatened seriously to score, while the Capitals opened up in the first inning and drove four counters across the plate before the smoke of, battle cleared away.
