total disregard to the public good and
squandered the peoples money in idle and
eXtravagant schemes, while the state went
without capitol building and the patri-
otto members Of the National Guard went
unpaid.
We denounce the action of Charles e.
Laughton, acting governor, in yetoing the
Wasson bill, reducing freight rates and the
law requiring railway companies to fence
their tracks; the bill preventing armed
bodies of men to come into the state of
Washington, otherwise known as the anti
PinkertOn bill; the section of the revenue
law taxing coal companies; the bill requir-
ing railroads to make connection with
other railroads at suitable points, and
other measures for the relief of the people I;
and we charge the republican governor
Elisha p. Ferry, and the republican party
with full responsibility for these vetOes in
allowing the said LaughtOn to act as gov
ernOr as we believe, for the conceived pur-
pose Of giving him the opportunity of serv.
ing some Of the pets and allies of the re-
publican party; and we charge Governor
Ferry with completely in killing said bills
and legislation by failing to reconYent the
legislature to re-enact said bills or act on
said vetoes.
We favor the passage of a mechanics
lien law that will secure to every man who
labOrs his wages under all circumstances
and which will give every labor a first lien
upon the subiectOf his labOrer for his wages
to take the place of the present lien law,
which the present republican supreme
court has about construed out of existence.
We pledge ourselves to favor reasonable
legislation reducing freight rates and fares
charged by transportation companies in
this state.
We denounoe as an infringement on the
rights of the American people guaranteed
by our constitution the employment of
Pinkertons or any other armed hirelings,
and demand of our state legislature such
laws as will protect our people against the
armed interference Of such agencies.
We demand the creation Of the Office of
public printer; that this Office be made a
salaried one, and that the state own its
own its own printing establishment.
We believe that eight hours should con-
stitute days labor on all public works.
We favor the abolition of the poll tax
and denounce the present revenue law in
regard TO the collection of delinquent taxes
which cOnfscates the property of our peO-
pie; we demand its immediate repeal and
the adoption of more simple law where
by the right of the state and counties may
be conserved and the equity OF the people
preserved.
We believe that the present road law
should be so modified as to permit those
liable to road tax TO pay the same in work
if they so desire.
We pledge ourselves in favor of such
legislation in congress as will at once settle
to the so-called lieu lands in Washington,
in order that the settlers thereon shall be
enabled to complete their title to said
lands at once.
We demand the repeal of the recent act
of our legislature in regard to class legisla-
ton with reference to our fishing indus
tries.
We pledge all of our nominees to an
economical administration Of the state
government.
Believing in the necessity of an educated
public, we favor every step which has its
object the increasing Of the efficiency of
our educational system. To this end we
favor the establishment of repositories
throughout the state through which it
shall issue text books to the public az actu-
Al cost
We favor the immediate selection Of all
state lands granted to the state for all pur-
poses by the general government.
