Neither class, however, should at any time nor in any circumstances take action that will put in jeopardy tii® public welfare.

The fine patriotism exhib- ifed, the heroic conduct dispiayed by American soldiers, sailors and marines at home and abroad constitute a sacred heritage of posterity the worth of which | { can never be recompernised from the treas- ury and the glory of which must not be diminished by any such expedients. The democratic _administration wisely éstablished a war risk insurance bureau, | giving four and a_half millions of enlist- ed men insurance ‘at unprecedentedly low rates, and fhrough the medium of which | compensation of men nad women injured | n service is readily adjusted and hospital facilities for those whose heaith is im- { paired are abundantly afforded | The federal hoard for voeational train- ing should be made a part of the war risk nsurance bureau in order that the task | may be treated as a whole and this ma- chinery of protection and assistance must receive every aid of law and appropriation necessary to full and effective operation. We believe that no higher or more val- ued privilege can be afforded to an Amer- ican citizen than to become a freeholder in the soil of the United States, znd to that end we pledge our party to the en- actment of soldier settlements and home aid legislation which will afford to the | men who fought for America the oppor- tunity to become land and home owners under conditions afforded genuine govern- | ment assistance, unencumbered by need- | less difficulties of red tape or advance finaneial nivestment. Merchant Marine. We desire to congratulate the Ameri- can people upon the rebirth of our mer- chant marine which once more maintai its former place in the world. It w: under a democratic administration that this was accomnlished after 70 vears of indifference and neglect, 13,000,000 tons having heen constructed since the act was | passed in 1016. We pledge the policy of our party to the continued growth of our merchant maring under proper legislation so that American products will be carried to all ports of the world by vessels buiit in American yards, fiying' the American flag. Port Facilities. The urgent demands of the war for ade- anate transnortation of war materials as well as for domestic-needs revedled the fact that our port facilities and rate ad- justment were such as to seriousp® affect the whole country in times of jeace as well as war. . We pledge our party to stand for equal- ity of rates, both import and export, for | the ports of the country. to the end that there might be adequate and fair facili- ties and rates for the mobilization of the products of the country offered for ship- ment. Mexico. The United States is the neighbor and friend of the nations of the three Ameri- cas and in a very special sense our inter- national relations in \this hemisphere should be chdracterized by good will and free from any possible ssupicion as to our national purpose. The administration, remembering al- ways that eMxico is an independent na- tion angl that permanent stability in her government and her institutions - could | come only from the consent of her own people to 2 government of their own ‘making, has been unwilling either to, profit by the misfortunes of the people of Mexico or to enfeeble their future by im- posing from the ouiside a rule upon their temporarily distracted councils.

J.. Bryan led the fight for adoption of his bone dry plank, but it was buried after a dramatic day of debate by a majority so overwhelming that he did not even ask for roll calls on the four other minority reports which he had prepared. A cider, wine and beer plank, cham- piened in an emotional speech by w. Rourke Cockran of New York, also was thrown out by the convention along with a plank for recognition of the Irish re- public backed by’ several organizations of Irish sympathizers. In the hattle for the platform as framed. the administration forces were led by Secretary Colby and Senator Glass of Virzinia, during a debate in which| both sides stirred delezates and specta- | tors to repeated bursts of emotional en- thusiasm. Mr. Bryan got a howling| demonstration of 20 minutes after he con- | cluded his speech for the bone dry plank, but when the balloting began it became aparent ‘that much of the enthusiasm was | a personal tribute to his past service to the party and not an expression of sym- pathy ‘with his present views. The Brvan prohibition plank rejected by the convention was as follows: “We heartily congratulaté the demo- cratic party on its splendid, leadership in EMPLOYES SUPERVISE POSTOFFICE MANAGEMENT Columbus, O., July 2—Unlike any other postoffice in the United States, the man- gement of the one in Columbus is super- ed by employes.
