National Independence Party Names Presidential Ticket AND ADOPTS PARTY PLATFORM Independence Party Names Thomas Hisgen, of Massachusetts and John Temple Graves, of Georgia, as ?:s Ticket for 1803-Nominations Made on the Third and First Bal lots, Respectively-Women Tafce Part in the Demonstration. . _. . Chicago, Special.-For President Thomas Hisgon, of Massachusetts. For Vice President-John Tempi? Graves, of Georgia', The Independence party at its first national convention here put a na tional ticket lp the field and adopted ? platform of principles. Thomas Hisgen, of Massachusetts, was nom inated for President on tho third bal lot, and John Temple Graves was nominated for Vioe President on the first ballot, Hisgen'B opponents were M. W. Howard, of Alabama; John Temple Graves, of Georgia. W. R. Hearst, though not a candidate, re ceived a complimentary vote of half a hundred. THE PLATFORM. . We, independent American citizens representing the Independence party in forty-four States and two Terri tories, have met in national conven tion to nominate, absolutely indepen dent of all other political parties, candidates for President and Vice President of the United States. vOur action is based upon a determination to wrest the conduct of public affairs from the hands of selfish interests, political tricksters and corrupt bosses and make tho government as the founders intended, an agency for the common good. At a period of -unexampled nation al prosperity, and promise, a stag geriug blow was dealt to legitim?te business by the unmolested practi?:o of stock watering and dishonest fi nanciering. Multitudes of defense less investors, thousands of honest business men and an army, of idle working men are paying the penalty. Year by year fostered by wasteful and reckless governmental extrava gance, by the manipulation of trusts and by a privilege-creating tariff, the cost of living mounts higher and higher. Day by day the control of the government drifts further away from lhe people and more firmly into the grip of . machine politicians and paiiy bosses. . The Republican and Democratic parties are not only responsible for these conditions, but are committee^ to their indefinite continuance. Pro digal of promises they are sp barren of performance that to a new party of independent voters the country ; mast look for the establishment of a new policy, and a return to genuine and popular government. Our object is not to introduce vio lent innovation or startling new fea tures. We of the Independence party look hack as Lincoln did to the Decla ration of. Independence as the foun tain -head of all political inspiration. It' is jjot our purpose to attempt to revolutionize, the American system of government but to restore the action of the government to the principles of Washington and Jefferson and Lincoln. It is not our purpose either to effect a radical change in the American system of government, but to conserve for the citizens of thc United States their privileges and liberties won for them bv the found ers of this government and to per petuate the principles and policies upon which the nation's greatness has been built. The Independence party is, there fore, a conservative force in Ameri can politics, devoted to the preser vation of American liberty and in dependence, to honesty in elections, to opportunity in business and to equ ality before tbe law. Those who be lieve in the Independence party and work with it are convinced that a genuine Democracy should exist; that a true Republican form of govern ment should continue; that the pow er of government should rest with the majority of the people and that the government should be conducted for the-benefit of the whole citizenship rather than for the special advantage cf anv particular class. : We denounce the so-called labor planks of the Republican and Demo cratic platforms as political bun comb and contemptible claptrap un worthy of national parties claiming to be serious and sincere. Such in sincere and meaningless declarations . place a low estimate upon the intel ; ligence of the average American workingman and exhibits ignorance of or indifference to the real interests of labor. The Independence party condemns the arbitrary use of. the writ of injunction and contempt-pro ceedings as a violation of the funda mental right of trial by jury. From the foundation of our government down to 1S72 the Federal judiciary act prohibited the issue, of any in junction without a reasonable notice until after a hearing. We assert that in all actions grow ing out of a dispute between employ ers and employes concerning terms or. conditions of employment no in junction should issue until after a 'rial upon the merits, that such trial ..hould he had before a jury and in hat of no case of alleged contempt hould any person be deprived of lib rty without a trial by jury. The Independence party believe? that the distribution of wealth is as :mportant as the creation of wealth and endorses those organizations among farmers and workers which tend to bring about a just distribu tion of wealth through good wages for workers and good prices for far mers and which protect the employer and the consumer through equality if price for labor and for product, ?nd Ave favor such legislation as will nove them from the operation of the "herman anti-trust law. We endorse the ei?ht-hour work 'ay, favor its application to all gov rmnent craploves and demand the ?naetment of laws requiring that all work done for the government wheth w Federal or State and whether Jone directly or indirectly through contractors or through Bub-contrec tors, shall be done on an eight-hour basis. We favor the enactment of a law condemning as illegal any combina don or conspiracy to blacklist em ployes. We demand protection for work men through enforced use of safety appliances and provision of hygienic conditions in the operation of all in-1 iust?al undertakings. We call for the enactment of itringent laws fixing empoyes' liabi itites and a rigid prohibition of child abor. We condemn the manufacture and ?ale of prison-made goods in the open narket on competition with free la 3or manufactured goods. We dc nand that convicts shall be employed lirect by the different States in the manufacture of products for use in State institutions and in making good reads and in no case shall convict* be hired out t? contractors or sub Bontractors. The Indep?ndence party declares that the right to issue money is in herent in the government and it fa vors the establishment of a central governmental bank through which the money so issued shall be put into, general circulation. We demand the revision of the taiff not by the friends of the tar iff but by the friends of the people, and declare for a gradual reduction of tariff duties with just considerar tion for the rights of the consuming publie and of established industry. There should be no protection for oppressive trusts which sell cheaply abroad and take advantage of the tar iff at home to crush competition, raids prices, control production and limit work and wages. The railroads muBt be kept open to all upon exactly equal terms. Every form of rebate and discrimination and railroad rates is a crime against business and must be stamped out We demand adequate railroad facili ties and adv?catela bill empowering shippers in time of need to compel railroads to provide sufficient cars for freight and passenger traffic and oth er railroad facilities through sum mary appeal to the courts. The int?r State commerce commission should proceed at once with a physical val uation of railroads engaged in inter state commerce. We believe that legitimate organi zations in business designed to secure an economy of operation and increas ed production are beneficial wherever the public participates in the advan tages which result. We denounce all | combinations for restraint of trade and for the establishment of monop oly in all products of labor and de clare that such combinations are not combinations for production but for extortion and that activity in this direction is not industry, but rob bery. In cases of infractions of the anti trust law or of the inter-State com merce act we believe ... the enforce-' ment of a prison penalty against the guilty and responsible individuals controlling the management of the offending corporations, rather than a fine imposed upon stockholders. We advocate the extension of the principle of public ownership of pub lic utilities, including railroads, as rapidly as municipal, State or na tional government shall demonstrate ability to conduct public utilities for the public benefit. We favor specifi cally government ownership of the telegraph aud demand as aa imme diate measure that the government shall purchase and operate the tele graphs in connection with the postal service. We advocate such legislation both State and national as will suppress the bucket shop and prohibit the fictitious selling of farm products for future delivery. We oppose Asiatic immigration which does not amalgamate with our population, creates race issues and un-American conditions and which' reduces wages and tends to lower the high standard of living and the high standard of morality which American civilization has established. We demand the passage of an ex clusion act, which shall protect American workingmen from compe tition with Asiatic labor. We advocate the popular election of United States Senators and of judges, both States and Federal and favor a graduated income tax and any constitutional amendments nec essarv to these ends. ARBITRATION IS FAVORED. The Independence party deolares for peace and against aggression and will promote the movement for the settlement of international disputes by arbitration. We believe, however, that a small navy is poor economy and that a strong navy is the be3t protection in time of war and the best pre ventive of war. We therefore favor the speedy building of a navy suf ficiently strong to protect at the , Rame time both the Atlantic and Pacific coasts of tbs United States. We rejoice in the adoption by both the Democratic and Republican platforms of the demand of the Inde pendence party for improved nation al waterways and the Mississippi in land deep water project. We favor the extension o fthis svstem to the tributaries of the Mississippi by means of which 3 States shall be served and twenty thousand miles added to the cost lines of the United States. The reclamation of arid lands should be continued and the irrigation programme now contem plated by the government extended and steps taken for the conservation of the country's natural resources, which should be guarded not only against devastation and waste, but against falling into the control of the monopoly. HAT PSYCHOLOGY. It Isn't likely that the average Am erican wt.man will spend much time In discussing the psychology of bon nets ab long as she has the proud consciousness that her own hats are in the latest mode. But there posi tively is a psychology cf bonnets. Mrs. Hunt said so at the convention of the National Milliners' Associa tion in Chicago. O? course Mrs. Hunt is Mme. Hunt in the millinery business. Every milliner must take Ihe French prefix even though she be .Trish and a spinster. "There certain ly is a psychology of hots," said Mrs. Hunt, "entirely aside from the fact that the souls of the majority of wom en are in their hats. If every woman should only look in the glass when trying on hats and instead of givlim her undivided attention to the hat would study thc outlines of her face as seen under the hat she would look with scientific approval or disapproval upon "the hat. So few women do that, you know. Fit the hat or bonnet to Ino face, and you will always look up to date and bc a fashion plate not only in one's own fancy but lu t?e public's eye as well,"-yew Ha ven Register, PAT'S LITTLE EP.R.OR.
