We approve OF the unanimous action
OF the Democratic members OF the last
Legislature In providing for the early
submission to the people OF an amend

canals.
The Democratic party now is, and al
ways has been, unalterably opposed to
the central lzation Of power in either
State or Federal government, and
hereby requests its represen.
tatives in the Legislature to
promote and mako effective an
amendment to the constitution which
shall extend the principle and powers
OF local self government to the cities OF
the State.

we pledge hearty support, and We
confidentislly submit our action as rep.
resentatives OF the free Democracy 10
