Conservation, For the safeguarding and quicken- ing of the life of our own people, we favor the conservation and develop- ment of the natural resource of the country through a palicy which shall be positive rather than negative—a policy which shall not withhold such resources from development but which, while permitting and en- couraging their use, shall prevent both waste and monopoly in their ex- rloitation and we earnestly favor the passage of acts which will accom- plish these objects and we reaffirm the declaration of the platfarm of 1912 on this subject. The policy reclaiming our arid lands should be steadily adhered to. The Administration and the Farmer. We favor the vigorous prosecution of investigations and plans to render agriculture more profitable and coun- try life more healthful, comfortable and attractive, and we believe that this should be a dominant aim of the nation as well as of the states. With all its recent improvement, farming still lags behind other occupations in /- @evelopment of a business, and the sdvantages of an advancing civiliza- #ion have not accrued to rural com- munities in a fair proportion. Much has been accomplished in this field under the present administration— far more than under any previous ad- ministration. In the federal reserve act of the last congress, and the rural credits act of the present congress, the “machinery has been created which will make credit available to the far- ~—rmier constantly and readily, and he has at last been:put upon a footing of equality with the merchant and the manufacturer in securing tne capital necessary to earry on his enterprises. Grades and standards necessary to the intelligent and successful conduct of the business of agriculture have also 7 heen established, or are in the course of establishment by law. The long- needed cotton futures act, passed ty the sixty-third congress, has now been in successful operation for near- ly two vea A grain trades bill, long needed, and a permissive waore- house hill, intended to provide better storage facilities and to en the farmer to obtain certificales upon which he may secure advances of money, have been passed by the house #f representatives, have been favo ably reported to the senate and will probably become law during the pres- ent session of the congress. Both houses have passed a good roads measure, which will be of far [ng benefit to all agricultur munities. Above al, the most extra- ordinary and significant progress has been made, under the diraction of the s@epartment of agriculture in extend- Ing and perfecting practical farm demonstration work which is so rap- ldly substituting scientific for empir- fcal farming. But it is 2iso neces- sary that rural activities should he better directed through ecs-operation and organization, that unfair methods .pf competition should be eliminated the conditions requisite for the just, orderly and economical ms Ing of farm products created. approve the democratic admin tion for having emphatically directed attention for the first time to the es- gential interests of agriculture in- golvel and rural organization in con- Rection with the department of ag- “gculture and for extending the co- pperative machinery necessary for eonveying information to farmers hy means of demonstrations. We fa- for continued . liberal provision, not only for the benefit of production, hut ilos for the study and solution of problems of farm marketing and fin- @nce and for the extention of agencies for improving country Good Roads. The happiness. comfort and pros- perity of rural life and development of the city are alike conserved by the censtruction of public highways. We therefore, favor national aid in the voenstruction of post roads and aid in the construction of post roads and roads for military purposes. Government Employment, We hold that the life, health and gtrength of the men, women and children of the nation are its greatest asset and that in the conservation of the the federal government, wherever it acts as the employer of bor, should both, on its own ac- S\ml and as an example put into offect the following mst emplayment: 1. A living wage for all employes. 2. A working day not to exceed elght hours, with one day of rest in teven. 3. The adoption of safety ap- gliances and the establishment of thoroughly sanitary conditions of labor, 4. Adequate compensation for in- dustrial accidents. 5. The standards of the ‘“‘uniform #hild labor law,” wherever minors e ecmploved. 6. Such provisions for decency, #omfort and health in the employ- of women as should be accorded athers of the race. An cquitable retirement law .roviding for the retirement of su- peranuated and disabled employes of vil service, to the end that a higher andard of efficiency may be main- ined We believe also that the adoption of similar principles should be urged ahd applied in the legislation of the states with regard to labor within their borders, and that through every nossible agency the life and health of the people of the nation should be conserved. principles of 3 Labor. We declare our faith in the sea- mens act, passed by the democratic tgongress and we promise our earnest sontinuance of its enforcement, We favor the speedy enactment of an effective federal child labor law and the regulation of the shipment oY Democratic Platform | prison-made goods in interstate com- | merce. We favor the creation of a federal | bureau of safety in the department of | labor, to gather facts concerning in- dustrial hazards and to recommend legislation concerning the malming and killing of human beings. We favor the extension of the pow- ers and functions of the federal bu- reau of mines. We favor the development upon a systematic scale of the means already begun under the present administra- tion, to assist laborers throughout the ! nation to seek and obtain employ ment. We heartily commend our newly es- tablished department of lahor for trial strikes by personal advice and through conciliating agents. Public Health. We favor a thorough reconsidera- tion of the means and methods by which the federal government hanrles questions of public health, to the end that human life may be conserved | by the elimination of loathsorge dis- s, the improvement of sanitation and the diffusion of a knowledge of disease prevention. We favor the establishment by the | federal government of tuberculosis | sanitariums for needly tubercular pa- tients. Senate Rules. We favor such an alteration of the rules of procedure of the senate of the United States as will permit the prompt transaction of the nation's legislative business. Economy and the Budget. We demand careful economy in all expenditures for the support of the | government and to that end favor a return by the house of representatives to its former practice of initiating and | preparing all appropriation bills through a single committee chosen from its membership, in order that responsibility may be centered, ex- penditures standardized and made uniform, and waste and duplication in the public service as much as pos- sible avoided. We favor this as a practicable first step towards a bud- get system. Civil Service. We reaffirm our declarations for | the regi denforcement of the civil service laws. Philippine Islands. ‘We heartily endorse the provisions of the bill recently passed by the house of representatives, further pro- moting self-fovernment in the Phil- ippine Islands as being in fulfillment of the policy declared by the dmo- cratic party in its last national plat- form, and w reiterate our endorse- | ment of the purpose of ultimate in- | dependence for the Philippine Islands, expressed in the preamble of that measure. H Woman Suffrage. We recommend the extension of the franchise to the women of the coun- try by the states upon the same terms as to men. Proetction of Citizens. We again declare the policy that the sacred rights of American citizenship must be preserved a thome and abroad, and that no treaty ith any | other government shall receive the | sanction of our government which does not expressly recognize the ab- solute equali of all our citizens, ir respective of race, creed or previous nationality, and which does not | recognize the rights of expatriation. The American government should pro- tect American citizens in their rights not only at home but abroad, and any country having a government should be held to strict accountability for any rongs done them, either to person or property. At the earliest practical opportuni- ty, our country should strive earnest- ly for peace among the arring na- ! tions of Europe and seek to bring | about the adoption of the fundament- al principles of justice and humanity, that all men shall enjoy equality of right and freedom from discrimina- tion in the lands wherein they dwell. Prison Reform We demand that the modern prin- | ciples of prison reform be applied in our federal penal system, Pensions We renew the declarations of re- cent democratic platforms relating to generous pensions for soldiers and | their widows, and call attention to our record of performance in this particu- lar. Waterways and Flood Control We renew the declaration of a lib- | eral and comprehensive plan for the development and improvement of our | harbors and inland waterways with economy and efficiency, so as to per- mit their navigation by vessels of | standard draft. Candidates. We unreservedly endorse our presi- dent and vice president, Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey and Thomas Rilvey Marshall of Indiana who have performed the functions of their gr offices faithfully and impartially and with distinguished ability. In particular we command to the American people the splendid diplo- matic victories of our great president, who has preserved the vital interests of our government and its citizens and kept us out of war, Woodro wWilson stands tcday the greatest American of his generation. Conclusion. "This is a critical hours in the his- tory of America, a criticul hour in the history of the world. Upon the record above set forth which shows great constructive achievement in fol- lowing out a consistent policy for cur domesti cadministration, which has maintained the honor, the dignity and the interests of the United States, and at the same time retained the re- spect and friendship of all the na- tions of the world, and upon the great policies for the further strengthening of the life of our country, the en- largement of our national vision, and the ennobling of our international re- ations, as set forth above, we appeal with confidence to the voters of the country. its excellent record in settling indus- | § Hillside Creamery 31c Russell Bros. —advt.
