that such aid should be extended on a definite
plan of continuous work until permanent i'm
provement is secured.
Sec 10. In support of national defense and
the promotion OF commerce between the states,
we recognize the early construction ot the Mic
aragua canal and its protection against foreign
control OF great importance TO the United States.
Sec. 10 Recognizing the Worlds Columbian
exposition national undertaking OF vast i'm
portance in which the general government has
invited the cooperation OF all the powers Of the
world and appreciating the acceptance by many
OF such powers OF the invitation so extended and
the broad and liberal efforts being made BY them
to contribute to the grandeur of the undertake
ing we are OF the opinion that congress should
make such necessary financial provisions as
should be requisite to the maintenance OF the
national honor and public faith
Sec IL. Popular education being the only
safe basis of popular suffrage, we recommend
TO the several states most liberal appropriation
for the public schools. Free common schools
are the nursery of good government and
they have always received the fostering
care OF the democratic party, which
favors every method OF increasing in
telliCence, freedom OF education being
an essential Of civil and religious liberty as well
as a necessity for the development of intelli-
gence must not be interfered with under any
pretext whatever. We are opposed TO state in
ference with parental rights and rights Of con-
science in the education OF children as an IN
fringement of the fundamental democratic doc
trine that the largest individual liberty consis-
tent with the rights OF others insures the high
est type of American citizenship and the best
government
Sec. 1S We approve the action of the pres
ent house of representatives in passing bills for
the admission into the union as states OF the
territories Of New Mexico and Arizona and we
favor the early admission of all territories hay
ing the necessary population and resources TO
entitle them 20 statehood and while they re-
main territories we hold that the officials ap-
pointed to administer the government of any
territory together with the Districts Of Colum-
bia and Alaska should be bona fide residents Of
the territory or districts in which their duties
are to be performed. The democratic party be-
Eeves in home rule and the control of their own
affairs by the people OF the vicnage.
Sec 10. We favor legislation by congress and
state legislatures to protect the lives and limbs
Of railway employees and those Of other hazard
Gus transportation companies, and denounce
the inactivity of the republican party and par
ticularly the republican senate for causing the
defeat Of measures beneficial and protective to
this class of wageworkers.
Sec. 20 We are in favor OF the enactment by
the states of laws for abolishing the notorious
sweating system, for abolishing contract con-
Wet labor and for prohibiting the employment
in factories Of children under l5 years of age.
Sec. 81. We are opposed to all sumptuary
laws as an interference with the individual
rights Of the citizens
Sec %. Upon this statement of principles
and policies the democratic party asks the in
