GOOD NIGHT'8 8LEEP

Tying awake nights makes it hard
To keep awake and do things in day

under such circumstances is like set

The right kind of food promotes re

NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM.
We, the representatives of the demo
cratlc party of the United States In na
tional convention assembled, reaffirm our
devotion to the prlneiplee of democratic
government formulated by Thomas Jef
ferson and enforced by a long and Illus
trious Hoe of democratic president.
Tariff Reform.
We declare It to be a fundamental prin
ciple of the democratic party that the fed
eral government under the constitution
has no right or power to Impose or col
lect tariff duties except for the purpose
of revenue, and we demand that the col
lection of such taxes shall be limited to
the necessities of government honestly
and economically administered.
We favor the immediate downward re
vision of the existing high, and In many
cases, prohibitive tariff duties. Insisting
that material reductions be speedily made
upon the necessaries of life. Articles en
tering Into competition with trust-con
trolled products and articles of American
manufacture, which are sold abroad more
cheaply than at home, should be put upon
the free list.
We recognize that our system of tariff
taxation Is Intimately connected with the
business of the country and we favor the
ultimate attainment of the principles we
advocate by legislation that will not In
jure or destroy legitimate Industry. We
denounce the action of President Taft In
vetoing the bills to reduce the tariff In
cotton, woolen, metal and chemical sched
ule and the farmers’ free list, all of which
were designed to give immediate relief to
the masses from the exactions of the
trusts.
The republican party, while promising
tariff revision, has shown by its tariff
legislation that such revision Is not to
be In the people’s Interest and having been
faithless to Its pledges of 190S it should no
longer enjoy the confidence of the nation.
Wo appeal to the American people to sup
port us In our demand for a tariff for
revenue only. The high republican tariff
Is the principal cauBe of the unequal dis
tribution of wealth, It Is a system of tax
ation which makes the rich richer and the
poor poorer; under Us operation the
American farmer and laboring man are
the chief sufferers; it raises the cost of
necessaries of life to them but does not
protect their product or wage. The farm
er sells largely in free markets and buys
almost entirely in the protected markets.
In the most highly protected lndustr.es,
such as cotton and wool, steel and Iron
tlie wages of the laborers are the lowest
paid In any of our industries. We de
nounce the republican pretense on that
subject that American waxes are estab
lished by competitive conditions and not
by the tariff.
• i- _x * i
mgn t.ost ot i_iving.
Tho high cost of living is a serious prob
lem In every American home. The repub
lican party. In Its platform attempts to
| escape from responsibility for present con
ditions by denying that they are due to u
protective tariff. Wo take Issue with them
on this subjoet and charge that excessive
prices result In a large measure from the
high tariff laws enacted and maintained
by the republican party and from trusts
and commercial conspiracies fostered and
encouruged by such laws and we assert
that no substantial relief can be secured
for the people until Import duties on the
necessaries of life are materially reduced
and tlieso criminal conspiracies broken
upi.
Anti-Trust Law.
A private monopoly Is Indefensible and
Intolerable. We therefore favor the vig
orous enforcement of tho criminal as well
as the civil laws against trust und trust
officials and demand the enactment of
such additional legislation as may be nec
essary to make It Impossible for a pri
vate monopoly to exist In the United
States. Wo favor the declaration by law
of the conditions upon which corporations
shall be permitted to engage In Interstate
trade, Including among others, the preven
tion of holding companies, of Interlocking
directors, of stock watering, of discrimina
tion In price und the control by any one
corporation of so large a proportion of
any Industry as to make it a menace to
competitive conditions.
We condemn the action of the republic
an administration In compromising with
the Standard Oil company and the Tobac
co trust and Its failure to invoke the
criminal provisions of the anti-trust law
against the officers of those corporations
after the court had declared that from
the undisputed facts In the record they
hud violated the criminal provisions of the
We regret that the Sherman anti-trust
law has received a Judicial construction
depriving it of much of Its efficacy and
we favor the enactment of legislation
which will restore to the statute the
strength of which It has been deprived
by such Interpretation.
Rights of the States.
Wo behove In the preservation and
maintenance In their full strength and In
tegrity of the three co-ordinate branches
of the federal government—the executive,
the legislative and the Judicial—each keep
ing within ltB own bounds and not en
croaching upon the Just powers of either
of tho others.
Believing that the most efficient results
tinder our system of government are to be
attained by the full exercise by tho states
of their reserved sovereign powers, we de
nounce as usurpation tho efforts of our
opponents to deprive the states of any of
the rights reserved to them, and to en
large and magnify by Indirection the pow
ers of tho federal government.
We insist upon the full exercise of all
the powers of the government, both state
and national to protect the people from
Injustice at the hands of those who seek
to make the government a private as
set In business. There Is no twilight zone
betwoen the nation and the state tn which
exploiting Interests can take refuge from
both. It Is as necessary tliut the federal
government exercise the powers reserved
to them, but we Insist that federal reme
dies for the regulation of Interstate com
merce and for the prevention of private
monopoly shall be added to and not sub
stituted for state remedies.
Income Tax and Popular Election of
Senators.
W« congratulate the country upon the
triumph of two Important reforms de
manded In the last national platform,
namely, the amendment of the federal con
stitution authorizing an Income tax and
the amendment providing for the popu
lar election of senators 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 unani
mous sentiment In favor of publicity be
fore the election, of campaign contribu
tions—a measure demanded In our na
tional platform of 1H0S and at that time
opposed by the republican party—and we
commend the democratic House of Repre
sentatives for extending the doctrine of
publicity to recommendations, verbal and
written, upon which presidential appoint
ments are made, to the ownership and
control of newspapers and to the expendi
tures made by and on behalf of those who
aspire to presidential nominations, and we
point for additional Justiiicatlon for this
legislation to the enormous expenditures
of money In behalf of the president and
1 his predecessor In the recent contest for
I the republican nomination for president.
Presidential Primaries.
Tho movment toward more popular gov
• eminent should be promoted through
legislation In each state which will per
mit the exception of the preference of
* the electors for national candidates at
presidential primaries.
We direct that the national committee
: Incorporate In the call for the next nom
| lnatlug convention a requirement that all
expressions of preference for presidential
candidates shall be given and the selec
tion of delegates and alternates made
through a primary election conducted by
the party organization In each state where
such expression and election are not pro
vided for by state laws. Committeeman
who are hereafter to constitute the mem
bership of the democratic national
committee and whose election. Is not
provided for by law shall be chosen in
each state at such primary elections and
the service and authority of committee
men however chosen, shall begin Im
mediately upon the receipt of their cre
dentials respectively.
Campaign Contribution*
We pledge the democratic party to the
enactment of a law prohibiting any cor
poration from contributing To a campaign
fund and any Individual from contributing
any amount above a reasonable maxi
mum.
Term of President.
We favor a single presidential term and
to that end urge the adoption of an
amendment to the constitution making the
president of the United States Ineligible
for re-election, and we pledge the candi
date of this convention to this principle.
Democratic Congress.
At this time, when the republican party,
after a generation of unlimited power In
Its control of the federal government, Is
rent Into factions, It Is opportune to
point to the record of accomplishments
of the democratic House of Representa
tives In the Sixty-second congress. .We
Indorse Its action and we challenge com
parison of Its record with that of any
congress which has been controlled by
our opponents.
Wo call the attention of the patriotic
citizens of our country to Its record of
efficiency, economy and constructive legis
lation.
It has, among other achievements, re
vised the rules of the House of Repre
sentatives so as to give the representa
tives of the American people the freedom
of speech and of action In advocating,
proposing and perfecting remedial legis
lation.
It has passed bills for the relief of the
people and the development of our coun
try; It has endeavored to revise the tariff
taxes downward In the Interest of the
consuming masses and thus to reduoe the
high cost of living.
It has proposed an amendment to the
federal constitution providing for the elec
tion of United States senators by the di
rect vote of the people.
It has secured the admission of Arizona
and New Mexico as two sovereign states.
It has required the publicity of cam
paign expenses both before and after elec
tion and fixed a limit upon the election
expense of United States senators and
representatives.
It has also passed a bill to prevent of
tho abuse of the writ of Injunction.
It has passed a law establishing an
eight-hour day for workingmen on all
national public work.
It has passed a resolution which forced
the president to take Immediate steps to
abrogate the Russian treaty.
And It has passed the great supply bills
which lessen waste and extravagance and
which reduce the annual expenses of ths
government by many millions of dollars.
Wo approve the measure reported by the
democratic leaders In the House of Repre
sentatives, creation of a counsel of nation
al defense which will determine a definite
naval program with a view to Increased
efficiency and economy. The party that
proclaimed and has always enforced the
Monroe doctrine and was sponsor for the
new navy, will continue faithfully to ob
serve the constitutional requirements to
provide and maintain an adequate and
well-proportioned navy sufficient to de
fend American policies, protect our citi
zens and uphold the honor and dignity
ol the nation.
Republican Extravagance.
We denounce the profligate waste of the
money wrung from tho people by oppres
sive taxation through the lavish appro
priations of recent republican congresss,
which have kept taxes high and reduced
tho purchasing power of the people’s toll.
Wo demand a return to that simplicity
and economy which befits a democratic
government, and a reduction In tho num
ber of useless offices, the salaries of
which drain the substance of the people.
Railroads, Express Companies, Tele
graph and Telephone Lines.
Wre favor the efficient supervision and
rate regulation of railroads, express com
panies, telegraph and telephone lines en
gaged In Interstate commerce. To this
end we recommend the valuation of rail
roads, express companies, telegraph and
telephone lines by the Interstate Com
merce commission, such valuation to take
into consideration the physical value of
the property, the original cost, the cost
of reproduction, and any element of value
that will render tho valuation fair and
Just.
We favor such legislation as will ef
fectually prohibit the railroads, express,
telegraph and telephone companies from
engaging In business which brings them
Into competition with their shippers or
patrons; also legislation preventing the
over-issue of stocks and bonds by Inter
state railroads, express companies, tele
graph and telephone lines, and legislation
which wilt assure such a reduction In
transportation rates as conditions will
permit, care being taken to avoid reduc
tion that would compel a reduction of
wages, prevent adequate service, or do
Injustice to legitimate Investments.
Banking Legislation,
We oppose the so-called Aldrich bill or
the establishment of a central bank and
we believe the people of the country will
be largely freed from panics and conse
quent unemployment and business depres
sion by such a systematic revision of our
banking laws as will render temporary
relief in localities where such relief Is
needed, with protection from control or
domination by which it la known as the
money trust.
Banks exist for the accommodation of
the public and not for the control of busi
ness. All the legislation on the subject
of banking and currency should have for
Its purpose the securing of these accom
modations on terms of absolute security
to the public and of complete protection
from tho misuse of the power that wealth
gives to those who possess It.
Wo condemn the present methods of
depositing government funds in a few
favored banks, largely situated in or con
trolled by Wall street In return for politi
cal favors and we pledge our party to
provide by law for their deposit by com
petitive bidding op the banking Institu
tions of the country, natlonay and state,
without discrimination as to locality upon
approved securities and subject to call
by the government.
Rural Credits.
Of equal Importance with the question
of currency reform Is the question ol
rural credit or rural finance. Therefore
we recommend that an Investigation ol
agricultural credit socletls In foreign
countries be made, so that It may be as
certained whether a system of rural cred
its may be devised suitable to condition*
In the United States? and we also favoi
legislation permitting national banks tc
loan a reasonable proportion of theh
funds on real estate security.
We recognize the value of vocatlona
education and urge financial approprla
tions for such training and extenstoi
teaching In agriculture In co-operatloi
with \ho several states.
Waterway*.
We renew the declaration In our las'
platform relating to the conservation o
| our national resources and the <lo v lop
ment of our waterways. The present de
vastation of the lower Mississippi valley
accentuates the movement for the regula
tion of river flow by additional bank and
levee protection below, and the diversion,
storage and control of the flood waters
above and their utilization for beneficial
purposes in the reclamation of arid and
swamp lands and the development of
water power, instead ot permitting the
floods to continue, as heretofore, agents
of destruction.
We hold that the control of the Mis
sissippi river is a national problem. The
preservation of the depth of its water tor
the purpose of navigation, the building of
levees to maintain the integrity of Its
channel and the prevention of the over
flow of the land and its consequent de
struction, resulting In Interruption of in
terstate commerce, the disorganization of
mail service and the enormous loss of life
and property, impose an obligation which
alone can be discharged by the general
government.
To maintain an adequate depth of water
the entire year and thereby encourage
water transportation, is a consummation
worthy of legislative attention and an is
sue national in Its character. It calls for
prompt action on the part of congress
and the democratic party pledges itself
to the enactment of legislation leading to
that end.
We favor the co-operation of the
United States and the respective states
for the comprehensive treatment of all
waterways with a view of co-ordinating
plans for channel improvement with plans
for drainage of swamp and overflowed
lands and to this end we favor the ap
propriation by the federal government
of sufficient funds to make surveys of
such lands, to develop plans for draining
the same and to supervise the work of
construction. We favor the adoption of a
liberal and comprehensive plan for the de
velopment and Improvement of our inland
waterways with economy and efficiency,
so as to permit their navigation by ves
sels of standard draft.
Post Roads.
We favor national aid to state and lo
cal authorities in t.h6 construction and
maintenance of post roads.
Rights of Labor.
We respect our declarations of the plat
form of 1908 as follows:
The courts of justice are the bulwark of
our liberties and we yield to none in our
purpose to maintain their dignity. Our
party has given to the bench a long line
of distinguished Justices who have added
to the respect and confidence in which this
department must Jealously be maintained.
We resent the attempt of the republican
party to raise false issue respecting the
Judiciary. It Is an unjust reflection on the
great body of our citizens to assume that
they lack respect for the courts.
It Is the function of the courts to inter
pret the laws which the people enact and
If the laws appear to work eco
nomio, social or political injustice, It is
our duty to change them. The only basis
upon which the Integrity of our courts
can stand Is that of unswerving Justice
and protection of life, personal liberty and
property as judicial processes may be
abused, we should guard them against
abuse.
Experience has proved the necessity of
a modification of the present law relat
ing to injunction and we reiterate the
pledges of our platforms of 1896 and of
1904 in favor of a measure which passed
the United States Senate In 1896, relating
to contempt in federal courts and pro
viding for trial by jiiry in cases of in
direct contempt.
Questions of judicial practice have
arisen, especially in connection with in
dustrial disputes. We believe that the
Sarties to all Judicial proceedings should
e treated with rigid Impartiality and that
injunctions should not be issued in any
case in which an injunction would not
issue If no industrial dispute wore in
volved.
The expanding organization of Industry
makes it essential that there should be no
abridgement of the right of wage earners
and producers to organize for the protec
tion of wages and the Improvement of la
bor conditions, to the end that such la
bor organizations and their members
should not be regarded as illegal combina
tions in restraint of trade.
We pledge the democratic party to the
enactment of a law creating a department i
of labor represented separately in the |
president’s cabinet, in which shall be in
cluded the subject of mines and mining.
We pledge the democratic party, so far
as the federal jurisdiction extends to an
employes compensation law providing ade
quate indemnity for injury to body or
loss of life.
Conservation.
We believe in the conservation and the
development of the use of all the people
of the natural resources of the country.
Our forests, our sources of water supply,
our arable and our mineral lands, our
navigable streams and all the other ma
terial resources with which our country
has been so lavishly endowed, constitute
the foundation of our national wealth.
Such additional legislation as may be nec
essary to prevent their being wasted or
absorbed by special or privileged interests,
should be enacted and the policy of their
conservation should be rigidly adhered to.
The public domain should be adminis
tered and disposed of with due regard to
the general welfare. Reservations should
be limited to the purposes which they pur
port to serve and not extended to include
land wholly unsuited therefor. The un
necessary withdrawal from sale and set
tlement of enormous tracts of public lands
upon which tree growth never existed and
cannot be promoted tends only to retard
development, create discontent and bring
reproach upon the policy of conservation.
The public land laws should be admin
istered In a spirit of the broadest liber
ality towards the settler exhibiting a bon
aflde purpose to comply therewith, to the
end that the invitation of this govern
ment to the landless should be as attrac
tive as possible and the plain provisions
of the forest reserve act permitting
homestead entries to be made within the
national forests should not be nullified by
administrative regulations which admit to
a withdrawal of great areas of the same
from settlement.
Immediate action should be taken by
congress to make available the vast and
valuable coal deposits of Alaska under
conditions that will be a perfect guar
anty against their falling into the hands
of monopolizing corporations, associations
or interests.
W* rejoice in the inheritance of mineral
resources unequalled in extent, variety or
value, and In the development of a min
ing industrv unequalled in its magnitude
and importance. We honor the men who
in their hazardous toil underground, daily
risk their lives in extracting and prepar
ing for our use the products of the mine,
so essential to the industries, the com
merce and the comfort of the people of
this country. And -we pledge ourselves
to the extension of the work of the bu
reau of mines in every way appropriate
for national legislation with a view of
safeguarding the lives of the miners, les
sening the waste of essential resources
and promoting the economic development
of mining, which along with agriculture
must In the future even more than In the
past, serve as the very foundation of our
’national prosperity and welfare and our
international commerce.
Agriculture.
We believe In encouraging the develop
ment of a modern system of agriculture
and a systematic effort to improve the
conditions of trade In farm products so
as to benefit both the consumers and pro
ducers. And as an efficient means to this
end we favor the enactment by congress
' of legislation that will suppress the per
• nlolous practice of, gambliug in agric* 1
tural products by organized exchanges 01
others.
Merchant Marine*
We believe In fostering by constitutional
regulation of commerce, the growth of a
marine, which shall develop and strength
en then the commercial ties which binds
us to our sister republics of the south,
but without imposing additional burdens
upon the people and without bounties or
subsidies from the public treasury.
We urge upon congress the speedy
j enactment of laws for the greater secur
ity of life and property at sea and we
favor the repeal of all laws and the ab
rogation of so much of our treaties with
other nations, as provide for the arrest
and Imprisonment of seamen charged with
desertion or with violation of their con
tract of service. Such laws and treaties
i lire un-American and violate the spirit,
If not the letter of the constitution of
the United States.
We favor the exemption from tolls of
American ships engaged in coastwise
trade passing through the Panama canal.
We also favor legislation forbidding the
use of the Panama canal by ships owned
or controlled by railroad carriers engaged
in transportation competitive with the
I canal.
Pure Food and Public Health.
We reaffirm our previous declarations
advocating the union and strengthening of
the various governmental agencies relat
ing to pure foods, quarantine, vital sta
tistics and human health. This united
and administered without partiality to or
discrimination against any school of med
i ics or system of healing they would con
stitute a single health service, not sub
ordinated to any commercial or financial
Interests, but devoted exclusively to the
conservation of human life and efficiency.
Moreover this health service should co
operate with the health agencies of our
various states and cities without inter
ference with their prerogatives or with the
freedom of individuals to employ such
medical or hygiene aid as they may see
fit.
Civil Service Law.
The law pertaining to the civil service
should be honestly and rigidly enforced,
to the end that merit and ability shall be
the standard of appointment and the pro
motion rather than service rendered to a
political party; and we favor a reorgan
ization of the civil service with adequate
compensation commensurate with the
class of work performed, for all officers
and employes; wre also favor the exten
sion to all classes of civil service employes
of the benefits of the prisons of the em
ployers liability law. We also recognize
the right of direct petition to congress
by employes for the redress of griev
ances.
Law Reform.
We recognize the urgent need of reform
in the administration of civil and crim
inal law in the United States and we rec
ommend the enactment of such legislation
and the promotion of such measures as
will rid the present legal system of the
delays, expense and uncertainties Inci
dent to the system as now administered.
The Philippine*.
We reaffirm the position thrice an
nounced by the democracy in national
convention assembled, against a policy of
imperialism and colonial exploitation in
the Philippines or elsewhere. We con
demn the experiment In imperialism as an
inexcusable blunder which has involved
us In enormous expense, brought us weak
ness instead of strength, and laid our na
tion open to the charge of abandonment
of the fundamental doctrine of self gov
ernment. We favor an immediate declar
ation of the nation’s purpose to recognize
the independence of the Philippine islands
as soon as a stable government can be es
tablished, such independence to be guar
anteed by us until the neutralization of
the islands can be secured by treaty with
other po^rers. In recognizing the inde
pendence of the Philippines, our govern
ment should retain such land as may be
necessary for coaling stations and naval
bases.
Arizona and New Mexico.
We welcome Arizona and New Mexico
to the sisterhood of states and heartily
congratulate them upon their auspicious
beginning of great and glorious careers.
Alaska.
We demand for the people of Alaska
the full enjoyment of the rights and privi
leges of a territorial form of government
and we believe that the officials appoint
ed to administer the government of all
our territories and the District of Colum
bia should bo qualified by previous bona
fide residence.
The Russian Treaty.
We recommend the patriotism of the
democratic members of the Senate and
House of Representatives which com
pelled the termination of the Russian
treaty of 1832 and we pledge ourselves
anew to preserve the sacred rights of
American citizenship at home and abroad.
No treaty should receive the sanction of
our government which does not recog
nize the rights of all our citizens, ir
respective of race or creed, and which
does not expressly guarantee the funda
mental right of expatriation.
Tlie constitutional rights of American
citizens should protect them on our bor
ders and go with them throughout the
world and every American citizen resid
ing or having property in any foreign
country is entitled to and must be given
the full protection of the United States
government, both for himself and his
property.
Parcels Post and Rural Delivery.
We favor the establishment of a parcel
post or postal express and also the ex
tension of the rural delivery system as
rapidly as practicable.
Panama Canal Exposition.
We hereby express our deep interest in
the great Panama Canal exposition to be
held in San Francisco in 1915, and favor
such encouragement as can be properly
given.
Protection of National Uniform.
We commend to the several states the
adoption of a law making it an offense
for the proprietors of places of public
amusement and entertainment to dis
criminate against the uniform, similar to
the law passed by congress applicable to
the District of Columbia and the terri
tories in 1911.
Pensions.
We renew the declaration of our last j
platform relating to a generous pension 1
policy.
Rule of the People.
We call attention to the fact that the
democratic party's demand for a return
to the rule of the people expressed in the
national platform lour years ago has now
become the accepted doctrine of a large
majority of the electors. We again re
mind the country that only by a larger
exercise of the large reserved power of
the people can they protect themselves
from the misuse of delegated power and
the usurpation of governmental instru
mentality by special Interest. For this
reason the national convention insisted
on the overthrow of Cannonism arid the
inauguration of a system by which United
States senators could be elected by direct
vote. The democratic party offers itself
to the country as an agency through
which the complete overthrow and extir
pation of corruption, fraud and machine
rule in American politics can be effected.
Conclusion.
Our platform is one of principles which
we believe to be essential in our national
welfare. Our pledges are made to be kept
when in office as- well as relied upon dur
ing the campaign, and we Invite the co
operation of all citizens* regardless of
pajty, who believe in maintaining unim
paired the Institution^/ and traditions of
our country.

SKIN ERUPTION ON CHEEK
Kingsley, Mich.—“Last May my
thlrteen-months-old baby had a sore
come on her cheek. It started In four
or five small pimples and In two or
three hours’ time spread to the size of
a silver dollar. It spread to her eye.
Then water would run from the pim
ples and wherever that touched it caus
ed more sores until nearly all one
cheek and up her nostrils were one
solid sore. She was very fretful. She
certainly was a terrible looking child,
and nothing seemed to be of any use.
I “Then I got some Cuticura Soap and
Cutlcura Ointment. She tried to rub
off everything we put on so that we
.would sit and hold her hands for two
‘hours at a time, trying to give the
medicine a chanoo to help her, but
after I washed It with Cutlcura Soap
and then put on the Cuticura Oint
ment they seemed to soothe her and
she did not try to rub them off. It
was only a few days before her face
was all healed up, and there has been
jio return of the trouble since. Wo
thought that baby’s face would surely
'be scarred, but it is not." (Signed)
