A i-rimm(teii was a ji pointed. A represent it live of the president acted as chairman. It prepared a plan of reorganization. The plan was filed In Iho jfrchtves. It still remains there. After seven years of repuldicu i control the .structure of government Is worse than it was in U'2l. It is fully as had n.s the system which existed in New Vorli Hliitii before we secured hy consti tutional atncitdiii'iit the legislation which consoliflatcd more than one hundred offices, com missions n nd hoards Into eighteen coord inated depai'lineiits, each espinislhle. to the Kovej-nor.

The total taxes collected are SM, 1100,000 more than in the first year of the l 'oolidKc iiilmlnlstrtil ion.

The democratic parly does not anil under my leadership will imi advocate any sudden or drastic revolution In our economic system which would cause business upheaval a till popular il (stress. This principle was recognized as far hack as the passage of the I'mlerwood tariff hill. Our plat form restates it In unmistakable IniiKUagc. The democratic party stands Kiiunrtdy for tho mainten ance of legitimate business and a hluh standard of wages for Amer lean labor.

Therefore, no great- or service was ever rendered by any president than by Woodrnw Wilson when he struck at the meh- oils of secret diplomacy. Today we have close relations, vital our com m ere i:i and world stand ing, with every other nation. I regard it, then-fore, as a para mount duly to keep alive the ! interest of our people In these questions, and to advise the elec torate as to facts and policies.

I propose to subsliiu'o ac tion for inaction ami friendliness for hostility. In my administra tion of the government of my state, whenever 1 was eon fronted with a problem of this character, 1 called into con fet once those least profitable to railroads to curry and lend .-; themselves most readily to wntop, trunportation. Certain areas of our country are deeply interested in opening up a dln-cl route from t ho mid dle west lo the sea by way of the Creai Lakes and adjacent water ways. Controversy has arisen ov er i he I elaiivo merits of t he St. J-'iwrenco route or the All-America n route. As governor of New York. 1 have heretofore expressed a preference for tho Ail-American route, basing my view on engi neers' reports made to mo. The correctness of these reports and a I so of those favoring the St. Lawrence route has boon chal b uued. As president of tho Cni ted Slates, therefore, it would b iny clear duty to restudy thi. ipiestfou impartially upon engi neers' reports the accuracy ol which mu:-i bo above quest ion. When, the results of such a study at- given to congress, I am en tirely willing lo abide by the de rision of ofigress. Coiim rvalion of Natural Itc sourccs. Wide possibilities for public goo,) are latent in what remains of our natural resources. 1 pledge1 myself in a progressive liberal conservation policy based upon the same principles to which j have given my support in the state of New York, and to fight against selfish aggression in this field wherever it a ppoars and ir respective of whom it may in volve. No nation in history ha. 5 been more careless about Ihe con servation of natural resources than has ours. We have denuded our forests.. W- ha ve been slow to i eelaim la mis for development and have allowed to run to waste or have given to private exploita tion our public waters with their great potential power for tho de velopment of electrical energy.' The value of this heritage can hex! be measured when we con sider ihe recent disclosures of the method:: employed by private monopolies hi w'resi our remain ing water powers from public cou irol. " No more dishonest or unpatriot ic propaganda has over been seen in t his country than that disclos ed by the investigation into the methods of certain utility corpor ations, private corporations to gain control of public resources have procured (he writing of textbooks for the public schools; have subsidized lectures pretend ing to give to the country theii own honest and unbiased advice have employed as their agents former public officials and have endeavored lo mislead public opin ion by the retention of tho serv ices of leaders of the community in various pai Is of Iho country. Highly paid lobbyists, penetrated into every slate and Into the log ishilive halls of ihe nation it self. As against propaganda, It is the duly of l he democratic party to set up Ihe truth. Tho ownership of some of these groat water powers of .the nation lies In the govern men t. or others In the several states. Those s o u r c e s of water power must temain for ever under public ownership and control. Where they are owned by the federal government., they should remain under federal con trol of that state, or where they are owned by slates jointly, they should bo under the control of those stales. I "or Public ()v ncrhip 1 Wherever l he development, the government agency, stale or fed eral as Ihe case may bo, must retain through contract ura I agree ment with the distributing com panies l lie right to provide fail and reasonable lates to Ihe ul timate consumer and (he similar right to insjst upon fair ami equal distribution of the power. This can bo secured only by the absolute retention by the people of the ownership of the power by owning add controlling the site ami plant at the place of genera tion. The government. federal, state or the authority represent ing the joint states must con trol the switch that turns on or off the power so greedily sought by certain private groups without the least regard for the public good. I shall carry into the Federal administration the same policy You can't beat Budweiser you can't even tie it for quality, satisfaction or results. That's why the big red can is America's favorite household package. Budweiser Malt Adds Nutriment to Foods ANHEUSF.R-BUSCH, ST.

Il is to mo unthinkable ! that the f lo vein merit of the Fni ' ted 'States or any state thereof I will permit either direct or in direct alienation of water power sites. Labor The American people constitute a structure of many component parts. one of its foundations is labor. The reasonable content ment of those who toil with tho conditions under which they live j and work is an essential basts of the nation's well-being. The welfare of our . country therefore diMiia'mV governmental c'vncovn , for the legit imate interest of la bor. The Democratic Party has al I ways recognized this fact and un der tho administration a large, body of progressive legislation for jlio protection of those laboring in industiy. was enacted. Our I platform cont inues thai tradition 1 of the party. We declare for the j principle of collective bargain j ing which alone can put the la I borer upon a busts of fair equal ity with the employer; for the hu man principle that labor Is not a commodity: for fair treatment in government and 'federal em ployees; and for specific and im mediate attention to the serious problems of unemployment. From those premises it was 'in evitable lhat our platform should further recognize grave abuses in the issuance of injunctions in la- jbor disputes which threaten th" I very principle of collective bar , gaining. Chief Just ice Tuft in ji:il:i slated that government of jibe relations between' capital and labor by injunction was an ab surdity. Justice Holmes ami Jus ilice Br.'indeiM of Ihe I. S. Supreme j Court unite In an opinion which i describes the restraints on labor I imposed by a federal injunction j as a reminder of Involuntary ser j vitude. S Dissatisfaction and social unrest 'have grown from the abuses and i undoubtedly legislation must be ; framed lo meet just causes for I complaint in regard to tho un 1 warranted issuance of injunctions. - Tho Judiciary Committee of the Fulled States Senate has already I in progress a careful study of this 'situation. I promise full copora Ition to tho end lhat a definite 1 remedy by law bo brought forth (to end the existing evils and pre- serve the const il nl iona 1 guaran tees of individual liberty, free as semblage and speech and Ihe rights of peaceful persuasion. Protective Legislation 1 -shall continue my sympathet ic interest in the advancement "I t progressive legislation for the ; protection and advancement of working men and women. Pro I motion of proper care of mater ni!y. infancy and childhood and ithe encouragement of those scien itific activities of the national gov eminent which advance the safo I guards nf public health, are so j fundamental as to need no ex pression from me other than mv ; i-ocord a's legislator and as Cov ornor. l'lpiallty of Opporlunlty None can question my respect j for cooperation with the civil service nor my interest in proper (.ompensation for government ser vice. 1 believe in that true equal ity of women that opens to them without restriction all avenues of opportunity for which Utey can qualify in business, in government service and in politics. Veteran Itellcf I have a full appreciation of , what this country nw to out I veteran soldiers. 1 know thai I when the country called, the vet eran came promptly. When Ihe veteran In distress calls to the country, the country should be equally prompt. lied tape and technicalities and nutorcalic bu reacracy should he brushed aside when the time comes for a grate ful American people to recognize Mis debt to the men who offered : themselves in our hour of need. Immigration i During all of our natural life ithe freedom of entry to the coun trv has hcen extended to the mil V lions who desired to take advan tage of ,The freedom and the op. port u if i lies' offered hy America The rugged qualities of our im migrants have helped to develop our country and their children have taken their places high in the annals of American history. Kvery race has made its con tribution to the betterment of America. While j stand squarely on our platform declaration that ihe laws which limit immigivition must bo preserved . in full force and effect, I a hi heartily In favor of removing from the immigration law the harsh provision which separates families and 1 am op posed to the principle of restric tion based upon the figures of immigrant imp illation contained in a census thiny-eight years old.
