Democratic Platform Planks Center on Americanism at St Louis
The Democratic platform committee in St Louis signals a major emphasis on Americanism with a plank accusing foreign born citizens of attempting to influence U S policy and condemning any group or party that embraces such moves. A sub committee including Stone Rainey Walsh Hollis Fitzgerald Pomerene Palmer Martin and Governor Stanley will draft wording with debate over tariff on dyestuffs and a strong navy and peace initiatives. The draft foresees flexible language to protect naturalized citizens, support eight hour workday civil service pensions child labor and labor in government institutions, and a world peace framework with an arbitral court while preserving Monroe Doctrine defense.
