Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Annotated Edition of the Platform of the National Progressive Party of the State of New York: Adopted by the State Convention, Syracuse, Sept; 5, 1912 Immediately after the Chicago Convention, State Chairman Hotchkiss asked several persons with intimate knowledge of the political, economic and social needs of the State, each independently, to prepare a rough draft of a platform for the consideration of a Provisional Platform Committee. Each of these persons worked several weeks and corresponded with numbers of people who knew local conditions and the desires and hopes of the people for reform. The Provisional Committee was organized ten days before the date set for the Syracuse Convention and held a number of meetings in Yew York City in which the several proposed drafts of the platform were subjected to rigid criticism and discussion. The full Provisional Committee, was called together at Syracuse two days before the convention met and was in session almost continuously for forty-eight hours at Syracuse, part of which time was devoted to public hearings widely advertised in advance, at which everyone was given a chance to present resolutions or to suggest subjects upon which a platform utterance was desirable. The committee was composed of men and women who represented the progressive ideas and spirit of practically every county in the State. They brought to bear on their work a collective intelligence, a varied experience, and an earnestness of purpose which does not usually characterize the preparation of party platforms. To this Provisional Committee were added, when the convention organized, one member from each Congressional District, chosen by the delegates of the respective districts. Thus was emphasized the thoroughly representative and popular character of the committee. To this new committee was presented the platform as adopted by the Provisional Committee. It was then subjected to rigorous debate, section by section, and amended to meet the views of the committee of the convention, and finally presented to the convention and adopted by it without further amendment, by unanimous vote. Our platform therefore represents the mature judgment of the convention - a distinctly free and representative body of men and women - after unusual study and deliberation in its preparation.
