creasing intelligence. Freedom of edu-
cation, being the essential of civil and re-
ligious liberty, as well as a necessity for
the development of intelligence, must not
be interfered with under any pretext
whatever. We are opposed TO State in
reference with the parental rights and
the rights of conscience in the education
OF children, as an infringement of the
fundamental Democratic doctrine that
the largest individual liberty consistent
with the rights of others insures the high
est type of American citizenship and the
best government.
STATEHOOD OF TERRITORIES.
ave approve the action of the present
House of Representative in passing the
bills for the admission into the Union as
States the Territories of New Mexico and
Arizona, and favor the early admission
of all Territories having the necessary
population and resources to entitle them
to Statehood, and while they remain
Territories we hold that the officials APP
pointed to administer the Government of
any Territory, together with the Districts
of Columbia and Alaska, shall be bona
fide residents of the Territory or District
in which their duties are to be performed.
The Democratic party believes in home
rule and the control of their own affairs
by the people of the vicinage.
1--WE favor legislation by Congress and
State Legislatures to protect the lives and
limbs of railway employees, and those
other hazardous transportation COM
panies, and denounce the inactivity ofthe
Republican party, and particularly the
Republican Senate, for causing the defeat
of measures beneficial and protective to
this class of wageworkers.
OTHER MATTERS.
"We are in favor of the enactment by
States of laws for abolishing the notorious
sweating system, for abolishing contract
convict labor, and prohibiting the en-
ployment in factories of children under
10 years of age.
1--WE are opposed to- all sumptuary
laws as an interference with the individ-
ual rights of citizens. Upon this state
ment of principles and policies the DEM
ocratic party asks the Intelligent judg-
ment of the American people. 1t asks
the administration and change of party in
order that there may be change in sys-
tenn and change in methods, thus asSur-
ing the maintenance unimpaired of in
situations under which the republic has
grown great and powerful"
