Knaxni City Democracy Indorsed Many State Reform Declared For. TACOMA, Sept. 16. Following is the platform in full adopted by the Demo cratic state convention today: We, the Democratic party of the State of Washington, in convention assembled, hereby adopt the following declaration of principles: "We renew our allegiance to the funda mental principles of government and the rights of man as set forth in the Declara tion of Independence and the Constitution of the United States, and we reaffirm and Indorse the principles laid down In the last National platform adopted at Kansas City. Regarding those principles,, as op posed to imperialism and colonialism, as opposed to government by injunction, as opposed to trusts and trust-fostering- tar iffs, as opposed to financial monopoly and an asset currency, and as opposed to all other legalized monopolies, subsidies and privileges, we condemn every effort which tends to repudiate or ignore them. We deeply deplore and lament the un timely death of Washington's great and good Goevrnor, John R. Rogers. He was a public-spirited citizen, a courageous of ficial, a champion of justice and an hon est man, and we herewith bear witness to the above and respect we had for him. Along with all patriotic men, we express our abhorrence of the tragedy that re sulted in the death of the President 6f the United States,. William- McKlnley. The manner of his death was -a blow at constitutional government, and was .an effort to undermlne"pur Hvillzatlon-andto destroy thofoundatlons of republican in stitutions. State -and County Affairs. In stated and County affairs we pledge the nominees of our pnrfy to an honest, efficient and economical administration of public affairs, and as an evidence of the fidelity ."with, which Democrats discharge public duties, we point to the administra tion of state affairs from 1897 to 1901, which, for honest and' economical man agement stands unmatched In tho history of this state. We demand the rlgjd enforcement of the law relating to" the assessing of ail prop erty, and wo especially demand that the personal property and franchises of the railroad and other public service corpor ations, shall be SBBessod' at not less than their salable value, as going concerns, bo that they shall not hereafter evade just and equitable taxation. We are in favor of so amending the constitution of the state that questions of a fundamental character may, under proper conditions, and at the Initiative of a sufficient number of -electors,-be sub mitted directly to the people for adop tion or rejection, thus providing a cor rective for the Infirmity of government by political parties, and making it certain that the voice of the people in all such questions will in the end prevail. We are, without qualification, in favor of the election of the United States' Sen ators by a direct vote of the people. We command the wise, statesmanlike ard patriotic course of Senator George Turner throughout nis term in the United States Senate. His voice has always been raised in defense of the principles of Democracy and of free government, and the greit Influence and high standing to which he has attained in the halls of Congress have reflected and still do re flect credit upon his party and his state. Never before In her history has Washing ton had a Senator eo able and so useful In the interests of the whole people of the state. We pledge that every Democratic vote In the next Legislature will be cist for his re-election. Wo unqualifiedly demand the complete exclusion from all American territory of all Chinese, of either whole or mixed blood, according to the terms of the bill presented to Congress by the American Federation of Labor, and we denounce the Republican majority In Congress for their treason to the working people and to -the Pacific Coast in rejecting this bill and passing the present weak and Inadequate law. It is believed by the Democratic party of Washington that this state, great in all natural resources for the produc tion of wealth, rich and prosperous, can well afford to give such statutory pro tection to its -wage-earners as will best tend to equalize their relations with their employers and protect them from the un necessary hazards of their employment. Demand Passase of FoIlOTving Bills. We declare it to be a part, of the policy of the Democracy of Washington to enact into law the following bills: First A bill relating to the protection of aangcrous machinery. Second A bill relating to the assumed risk of workmen in mills, factories and other workshops. Third A- bill relating to an eight-hour work day on state public -work. Fourth A bill defining who may be fellow-servants and providing a reasonable penalty for its violation. And we Instruct Democrats in the Legis lature to work and vote for the same. We invite the earnest consideration of the vo.ters of Washington to the evils which beset present industrial conditions, growing out of the formation of enormous corporations, commonly known as trusts, organized for the purpose of concentrating all of tho chief products. Industries and means of transportation in the hands of a few large capitalists, thereby enabling theni to dictate, to the farmer the price of his product, to the consumer the price of his necessities, and to the laborer tho price of his wages; and we call attention to the fact that these evils are fostered largely by National legislation giving oo-called protection to products controlled by mo nopolies and to the refusal of the Repub lican party, now In control of the legis lative and executive branches 'of the Gov ernment, to enact and Indorse effective laws against the combinations in restraint of-competitive trade. Manufacturing con cerns which enter tho markets of the world and there sell their products In com petition cheaper than they sell like prod ucts to citizens at home are not proper oubjects for protection. Wo demand that protective rates be taken off all trust made articles, and that the same be placed upon the free list. We demand a fair and equal division of Government funds appropriated for irri gation purposes in the various arid dis tricts, said division to be made according to acrro and their value as raw land, ir respective of the proximity to towns and cities, to be Irrigated in the different coun ties lying In said arid districts. Condemn Sheep-Grazing Permit. We condemn in unmeasured terms the special privileges given to certain individ uals of ehacp-grazlng on the Government forest reserves in this state, that are held In trust for the benefit of all the people and are the natural watersheds apd nec essary or the accommodation, use and enjoyment of all settlers for Irrigation purposes. Tho railroads arc public agencies, and arc subject to public control. They are in their nature monopolies, and the pub lic interest Imperatively requires that they be controlled. Therefore, disclaim ing any spirit of hostility to the railroads, and admitting that they are necessary to the continued growth of the state, we de clare ourselves- in favor of the establish ment of a bipartisan railroad commission, to be appointed by the Governor in the first instance, and thereafter to be chosen in such manner as the Legislature in its Wisdom shall determine, which commis sion shall be clothed with ample power to fix freight and passenger rates on all rail and other transportation liites, to correct the abuses In the conduct thereof, and to prevent discrimination and extortion there by, and with power to require and com pel the listing for taxation at Its fair and just cash value of all the property and franchises of railway, express and tele graph corporations and other corporations of like character. For the faithful execu tion of the above policy, we pledge the faith of the Democracy of the State of Washington. We denounce the declaration of the Republican convention on the- subject of a railway commission as Insincere and charge that that convention well knew that a. majority of the Republican nomi nees of the Legislature in this state are opposed to the establishment of a rail road commission, and will not vote for one if elected. We favor legislation to carry out the Imperative mandate -of the constitution of the state forbidding the giving to or receiving by public officers of free passes on railways and transpor tation lines. 1 We demand that the maximum rate for the carriage of passenger? on all rail ways within the state shall not exceed 3 cents per mile. We instruct all Democratic Legislative nominees to support the foregoing propo sition and pledge their loyal adherence to these instructions If elected. We express our deep and profound sympathy for those of our people who have suffered by reason of the recent forest fires in this and adjoining states. A resolution presented by Mr. Ronald, of Seattle, demanding that the -state be divided into Congressional Districts and arraigning the Republican party for having failed to do this was adopted and made a part of the platform. Barron Asked to Resign. The state central committee met after the convention and, owing to dissatisfac tion over Barron, one of the nominees for Congress, persuaded him to withdraw his name. He made a speech of acceptance at the convention which displeased the whole gathering. Bell, of Snohomish, and Vance, of Thurston, were the favorite substitutes.- The committee Is still Mn session at 2 A. M. Bell was named and will accept, " EXPECT BIG REPUBLICAN GAINS.

Ellis Morrison, the newly elected chairman of the Republican State Central Committee, who Is In the city today conferring with ex-Chairman J. H.

King County returned a majority of about 2000 for the head of the Republican tlrkft In 1900, and Mr. Morrison says that the con- aiuons mat exist in Seattle are true throughout the state. "We have not yet decided on the exact date for opening the campaign," said Mr. Morrison, "but It will be about October We have decided to nnen tho ntata headquarters In the Brunswick Hotel building, on the southeast corner of Co lumbia and First avenues, Seattle, where we will have three front rooms -within one block of the union depot These rooms will be opened this weelc "Washington is going to give the Re publican party a big majority this year.

The mysteri ous murder of an unknown woman, whose body was found yesterday afternoon hanging to a tree In a lonely gulch In the mountains west of Hornbrook, SlBklyou County, Is creating quite a sensation on both sides of the state boundary lino.

I dreaded every month a3 it came around, as I knew it meant suffering for me. I grew thin, my complexion was bad, my tem per was worse and everything irritated me. A friend advised me to try Wine of Cardui and as she urged the. matter so strongly I followed her advice. I found it pleasant to take and not like most other remedies that a're disgusting nostrums. In a short time I began to improve in health and my digestion was better. It made me regular and reduced the pain and finally it disappeared entirely. I gained ten pounds in two months and now I feel in excellent health, and much relieved to be restored to perfect health once more. THERE is hardly a man or wo man in this land who has not a mother, wife sister or daughter who is now suffering as Mrs. White suffered. These silent sufferers are martyrs to their modesty. Even their nearest relatives know only half of the story of woe they might tell. What a great service you could ren der your loved ones by securing them a bottle of Wine of Cardui, the med icine which made such a happy change in Mrs. White's life. Can you put the cost of a life of suffering with hundreds of dollars in doctor bills, against the small price of the few bottles, of Wine of Cardui which cured Mrs. White so quickly? The fact that Mrs. White suf fered for seven long years shows that when proper treatment is not scdured the trouble grows worse.
