DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM
(Continued from yesterday).
Parcels Post and Rural Delivery.
Wo favor the establishment of
a parcels post or postal express
and also the extension of the rur
al delivery system as rapidly as
practicable.
Panama Exposition.
We hereby express our deep
interest in the great Panama Ca
nal exposition to he held in San
Francisco in 1915 and favor such
encouragement as can be proper
ly given.
Proteotlon of National Uniform.
We commend lo the several
states the adoption of a law mak
ing it an olTense fur the propri
etors of places of public amuse
ment and entertainment lo dis
criminale against the uniform of
the United States, similar lo the
law passed by Congress appli
cable lo the District of Colum
bia and the territories in 1911.
Pensions.
We renew I lie declaration of
our last platform relating lo a
generous pension policy.
Rule of the People.
We call attention lo the fact
that I Ik? Democratic party's de
mand for a return lo the rule of
Ihe people, expressed in the na
tional platform four year* ago,
has now become the accepted doc
trine of a large majority of the
electors. NVe again remind the
country that only by a larger ex
ercise of the reserved power or
the people can they protect them
selves from the misuse of dele
gated power ami the usurpation
of governmental instrumentali
ties by special interests. For
this reason the national conven
tion insisted on the overthrow of
Cannonism and the inauguration
of a system by which United
States senators could be elected
by direct vote. The Democratic
party offers itself to the country
as an agency through which the
complete overthrow and extirpa
tion «>f corruption, fraud and ma
chine rule in American politics
can In* effected.
Conclusion.
Our platform is one of the
principles which we believe to be
essential to your national wel
fare. Our pledges are made to
be kept when in office, as well as
relied upon during the campaign,
and we invite the co-operation of
all citizens, regardless of parly,
who believe n maintaining the
institutions and traditions of our
country.

RUMOR THAT LAUNOH
PIONEER HA8 8UNK
A rumor was current on the
streets early this morning to the
effect that the launch Pioneer,
with a number of well known Yal
dezans on board, had sunk while
on iis way to Port Wells. The lil
lle vessel was in charge of Lee
t?u;;d and Slim Gray and had F.
\.. Wagner on board. From Cap
tain Cann and Mr. Cooper, who
just returned from Golden, we
learn lhat nothing was learned
or seen of the Pioneer and lhat in
case an accident had occurred to
the vessel there would have been
no means of communicating with
Valdez. While on his way up from
llarriman Fjord Mr. Cann met the
Brighton helpless, owing to a
break in her machinery and tow
ed her lo port, where repairs were
made, both launches then pro
ceeding on .their way.
