Text Of Democratic Platform
Adopted At State Convention
**s.
The platform adopted yesterday by the Demorcatic. State Con
vention is as follows:
We, the Democratic party, in State
convention assembled renew our al
legiance to and our faith in the funda
mental principles of democracy which
have proved, through the test of time,
to be the best safeguards of the free
dom and the rights of the people of
this republic.
In a period of world unrest, of so
cial and economic disorders, of dema
gogic appeals to class prejudices, it is
vital that we approach the solution of
the grave problems confronting the
country in a spirit of the utmost loy
alty to the free institutions ''created
and guaranteed by the Constitution
i and laws of the land.
Recognizing that relationships be
tween capital, labor and agricultural
interests are ever changing in keep
ing with the development of modern
civilization, we nevertheless adhere
unalterably to the necessity for pre
serving unimpaired the freedom of
our executive, lawmaking and judicial
bodies from the intimidation or con
trol by selfish influences, to the end
that there shall always be equal
rights for all and special privileges
for none.
Condemns Record Of Congress
We. therefore, condemn the record of
the present Republican Congress. By
its failure to enact into law the great
reconstruction program submitted by a
Democratic Administration the Re
publican Congress is directly respon
sible for the great industrial depres
sion through which the country is
now passing.
- A Democratic Congress established
I a Tariff Commission for the purpose
of taking the tariff out of politics and
putting import duties on a scientific
and equitable basis. The present Re
publican Congress has put the tariff
* back into politics. It has disgrace
> fully yielded to special interests in
the passage of a tariff bill imposing a

CONGRESS ADJOURNS
(By The Aniuriuird Free*.)
WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 22.
Adjournment of Congress at two
o’clock was arranged definitely when
the Senate soon after reconvening
adopted the House resolution provid
ing for a sine die ending of the ses
sion.
President Harding arrived at the
capitol a quarter of an hour before
the time set for final adjournment and,
at his desk in the President’s room,
began affixing his signature to last
minute legislative measures.
burden Of more than $3,000,000,000 an
nually on the people of the country
and increasing the already too high
cost of living. The crowning iniquity
of the Republican Tariff bill is the
provision which vests in the President
the power and authority to change the
rates fixed by Congress. This surren
der of the taxing power to the Chief
Executive is a confession of incom
petence on the part of the Republican
Congress, a cowardly evasion of its
responsibility and a scheme which
will make it easy for the Republican
party to do in the secrecy of the
Presidential office what the Senate
and House of Representatives lacked
courage to do in the open. In addi
tion, this provision of the tariff bill
will cause uncertainty in the business
1 world, the harmful results of which
! cannot be foreseen.
Good Roads Funds Slashed
[ The State of Maryland is proud of

[ i Democratic Congress passed and a
I Democratic President approved the
i first Good Roads law, under which
| $100,000,000 was distributed annual-
to the States for aid in construct

t ■ expenditures on other projects of
i doubtful value, has reduced the appro

.: improved roads for the prt ent fiscal
.: year to $50,000,000. In addition, the
5 Republican Congress attempted to
take away from the States the power
l of initiating Federal-aided road proj-
ects and proposed the creation of an
l expensive Federal commission with
; full control over a subject of such im
