A verbose 1908 platform denounces wasteful federal spending, promotes tariff revision, banking reform, an income tax, and anti injunction measures. It calls for railroad regulation, postal savings, labor rights, eight hour workday, a department of labor, and direct senatorial election, along with expansion of merchant marine and navy. It also supports prohibition of Asiatic immigration and state rights.
