PARTY PLATFORMS "This paper has not printed anything , about state platforms adopted by conventions of comfitteemen. In the main, party platforms do. not count for muli. We believe it would be far more satisfactory idea to have candidates issue their own platforms. An individual can be more readily nailed to the cross he violates his own promise than if goes back of a general party declaration moulded in verbiage- that can be converted into any desired meaning.
