Attention is called to the advanced effi

that “for the first time in our history” the
postoffice system has been placed on a self

from says:
“We ci ndemn all allianca- and combi

whatever nationality or descent, who agree

the purpose of advancing the interest of
foreign countries to the prejudice and detri
ment of our own country. We condemn any
political party which in view of the activity
of such conspirators surrenders its integrity
or modifies its policy.
On the subject of preparedness it is de
clared that “we therefore favor the main
tenance of an army fully adequate to the
requirements of order, of safety and of the
protection of the nation’s rights, the fullest

It has made the honor and ideals of the
United States its standard alike in nego

The Pan American conference is com
mended and the Monroe doctrine is re
asserted as the principle of Democratic frith.
The President’s Mexican policy is thus
ch-mly stated:
"Ine want «»f a stable, responsible gov
ernment in Mexico, capable of reproving
and punishing marauders and bandit bands,
who have not only taken llie lives and
seized and destroyed the property of Ameri
can citizens in that country, but have in
sclentJy invaded our soil, made war upon
and murdered our people thereon, has ren
dered it necessary temporarily to occupy by
our armed forces a portion of the territory
(if tl a! friendly state. Until, by the restora
tion of law end order therein, a repetition
of :"i>ch incur?ions is improbable, the neces
sity for their remaining will continue. In
tervention. implying as it does, military sub
jugation, is revolting to the people of the
United State?, notwithstanding the provoca
tion to that course has been great and
should be resorted to, if at all, only as a
last resort. The stubborn resistance of the
President and his advisers to every demand
and suggestion to enter upon it is creditable
alike to them and to the people in whose
name he speaks.”
The pending act to promote the construc
tion of a merchant marine is indorsed, the
prosecution of investigations and plans to
render agriculture more profitable and coun
try life more healthful, comfortable and at
tractive is favored, as is the extension of
national aid in the construction of post
roads and roads for military purposes.
The passage of acts which, while serving
the purpose of true conservation, “will not
withhold such resources from development.’
is advocated, and "the policy of reclaiming
our arid lands should be adhered to.”

“our country should strive earnestly for

Prison reform, pen-i n.-, waterways and'
flood control, etc., are discussed, and in re- i
1mion to Alaska it is declared that
“It has been and will bo the policy of 1
the Democratic party to enact all laws nec
essary for the speedy development of Alaska
and its great natural resources."
Speaking (if the candidates the platform ,
says:

which shows great constructive achievement
in following out a consistent policy for our
domestic and internal development; upon
