The platform proclaims the devo
tion of the parly to the principles of
government enunciated by Jefferson,
und then proceeds to attack what It
calls "Odellism," and says:
'The issue of Odellism Is the para
mount and overshadowing Issue In
state affairs; Is between oficlul hon
esty and official corruption.
"In palpable violation of his sworn
obligation to bo the Impartial servant
of the whole machine, his present du
al action constitutes a public scandal,
and amounts lo the grossest contempt
of official duty In the history of the
state.
Instead of being opposed to extrav
agance his administration has become
the actual promotor of adroit schemes
to loot the public treasury under the
guise of law."
State Issues are than taken up and
bundled exhaustively.
