confess to a great admiration for him.

BOSTON, June 1.— New England is
developing a sentiment antagonistic to
Senator Henry Cabot Lodge. President
Roosevelt's chief lieutenant, and his
friends fear he will not be elected. for
another term.
Senator Lodge has become unpopular
with Boston business n*en because of his
efforts to thwart them in their attempt
to obtain a reciprocal trade arrange
ment with Canada, and all through
New England there seems to be dissat
isfaction with his acts. Many New
England newspapers have been attack

NORTHERN LEADER HERE.
Henry T. Oxnard of Ventura County,
one of the leading Republican aspir
ants for a seat In the United Statea
Senate, is in the city again, having
arrived from the south yesterday
morning. His position as a candidate
for Senatorial honors hasTbeen frankly
defined and is clearly "understood by
the Republicans of California.. Mr.
Oxnard will doubtless Impart consider
able activity to the campaign and will
surely use every honorable effort to
promote the election of Republican
nominees for the Legislature. It is
the general opinion of politicians that
this State will give an overwhelming
majority for Theodore Roosevelt for
President. Indications at this time
point to Republican supremacy in both
branches of the Legislature. The spir
ited contest in the south between Mr.
Oxnard and • Senator Bard will insure
Republican victory in doubtful Assem
bly districts. The Democrats may be
come so Interested in the Republican
contest that they will neglect to make^
nominations for the Legislature..
Following this victory Daniel J.
Campau was re-elected national com
mitteeman from Michigan and of the
four delegates at large not one was
a member of the Hearst element.
The first test of strength. was on the
report from the committe on creden
tials. By a vote of 27 to 250, a mi
nority report of. the committee, seat
ing the contesting Hearst delegation
from Manistee, the only county from

Democracy 'would restore- the tariff' to a
revenue basis and administer It for revenue
only, thus derr.olithimj the legal bulwarks be
hind which the, predatory trusts have found
r-fuge. Protection for protection's aake Is an
Ingenious device for the exploitation of the
masses by the privileged classes; It has
wrought jrreat injustice to the consumers and
has U-n the- fruitful course of widespread
political corruption.
Democracy would administer the Treasury
Department In behalf of the public, not, as
now, in the Interest of Wall street. It would
prevent the , recolnase of legal tender, silver
dollars Into, limited - legal tender subsidiary
coin. It wou.Id secure to the people a volume
of standard money sufficient to keep pace
: with the demand for money. It would favor
p*p«r money Issued by the Government without
the Intervention of national banks. It would
resist the attempt to establish .asset currency
and branch banks, and it would oppose the
lOnnlng of Government ¦ money to favored
banks — a scheme by which the people's money
Is employed to lay a foundation for a cam
paign fund and to bribe the financial In
terests to oppose any reduction of taxation.
The present admln!«tratlon of th« Treasury
Department Is' progressively beneficial to tha
crpltalistlc classes and progressively harmful

'.nearer to the people by the popular election
of United States Senators and direct legis
lation.
Democracy, would strictly regulate the rall
roadt, thus protecting farmers and merchant*
- fri-m >xc««glve rates and discriminations.
• Democracy would safeguard the interests . of
the wage-earner and the artisan by providing
for an eight-hour day: by substituting arbi
tration for strikes and lockouts, and by re
storing- the right of trial by Jury. now. sus
pended by Government by Injunction. -
Democracy would secure to the surviving
tiddler* and sailors and their dependents gen
erous pension*,- not by an arbitrary executive
order, but by legislation which a grateful peo
ple Ktand r*>ady to enact. ¦
' Democracy would cqnetruct an.. Isthmian
car.al without, a violation of treaty obligations
and without exciting suspicion armjng- our
eiRter republics, of Central and South America,
• Democracy would retrard public office as
a pvbllc trust, provide for ari honest, and
pcoTiomical ndmlnlstratinn. of . the Government
aixl punish with severity the betrayal of of
ficial duty.
Democracy has nothing to gain from ftm
bigulty and nothing to fear from the' light.
Democratic' platforms tihoulrt. therefore, net
forth Democratic principles, policies and pur
poses wfth frankness, clearness and definlte
rse**.
Democracy would relieve the country of th*
menace of militarism and Imperialism by fol
lowing the exaicule rtt by tb.» country In Its
dealings with Cuba ana giving the Philip
pints an immediate promU» of ultimate In
dependence. Th<? administration of a colonial
system, according to monarchial principles, is
repugnant to cur theory of eovernment and
cannot be defended without the assertion of
doctrines which, if carried out. will under
mine free Ko.vC-rnment In the United States-
OPPOSES COLOXIAIj SYSTEM.
The. platform is as follows:
We. the Democrats of the State of Nebraska.
li> convention assembled, reaffirm our faith In
Democratic principles as thouf principles w«re
sot forth in the last national jilntform of the
party, adorted at Kansas City In 1O0O.
nomocracy means the rule of the people— a
ip.overnnient rtstlnit upon th^e consent of the
governed and administered according to the
will and In the Interest of the people.
With an, Increasing love for the principles
of Deinocracv and an increasing confidence In
their final triumph, we look uoon the pre&ent
time as ouuortune for their earnest and cour
ageous promulgation. With a chief executive
who ha» disresarded constitutional limitations,
stirred up antagonism between the races, em
ployed all the power* of his offloe to secure
a renomltiation and ourchasid political sup
port by turning the Treasury Department over
to the .financiers and putting the law depart
ment Into- live hands of the trust* — with such
a. chief executive- and with Republican lead
ers oi>»nly an.J arrogantly in alliance with or
ganized wealth. the country Imperatively
n<-*ds a. return of the Government to positive
and' clearly .' defined r>cmocratlc principles.
Democracy a» tauKht by Jefferson and exem
plified by Jackson Is the . hope of the repub
lic and oilers the only relief from the plu
tocracy- wUc)i now dominates the Republican
party, anl, through that party, the country.
Democracy would oppose as inimical to th«*
welfare of the people all private monopolies
arid would exterminate them by the enforce
ment of the- remedies suggested in the Kansas
City platform. The failure of the present ad
ministration to enforce exiMlnjt laws or to
tursrest more effective laws is conclusive proof
that It lacks' the d;siiv. the Intelligence or the
moral couras* to attack the conscienceless
combinations of capital that have flourished
during recent years.
DKYAX'S PLATFORM.
There was no opposition to- the
adoption of the platform as read, al
though one delegate attempted to se
cure the adoption of an adltional
plank pledging the jNebraska De
mocracy to the support of the nomi
ne e£ of the St. Louis convention, re
gardless of whom they might be. He
was ruled out of order after reading
his resolution.
OMAHA, June 1. — The Democratic
State Convention to-day unanimously
selected W. J. Bryan to head the'Ne
braska delegation to the national con
vention ' at St. Louis and adopted a
platform which reaffirms the Kansas
City platform of 1900 and places be
fore the public Bryan's views of what
should be embodied in the platform
of the coming national convention.,
Bryan was himself chairman of the
committee on resolutions and wrote
the platform. He had associated with
him Inen who have been his most loyal
supporters.
the St. Louis convention aid and work
with those Democrats who supported
the Democratic platform and candl
dntes of 1896 and 1900 and aid them
In the adoption of the platform and
the nomination of the candidate in
harmony with Democratic doctrines
and Democratic platform."
