openly confessing itself the party OF
fraud.
Fourth-We are opposed to all trusts
and ombinatiOns seeking to control OF
unduly enhance the price of commo.
dities, and we are in favor of eradicat
ing or REFRESHING the same by suitable
and effective laws. The manufacture
of Irvine at our state prison has Leen
and still is most effective means tx
protect our farmers against the monop
oily of the Irvine trust.
Fifth-The laboring and industrial
classes are entitled to all proper ant
necessary protection, and therefore VIZ
are, and have been, in favor of the fol.
lowing laws: U to protect the health,
the life and limb of all employees OF
transportation, mining and manufac.
turing companies; (2) to establish and
maintain boards or tribunals of concil.
iation or arbitration, whereby the diff.
ferences between employers and EN-.
ployed may be settled and adjusted by
peaceful means, without strikes or
lockouts; 81 to reclaim and to preserve
the public domain for actual settlers
under homestead laws.
Sixth-All proper and necessary
measures should be adopted and en-
forced to exclude from our shores all
paupers, criminals, and other danger
Gus and undesirable classes of immi-
grants.
Seventh-The farmers and all other
producing classes are entitled to cheap
and bic facilities for storing, ship
ping and marketing their products. and
therefore we are and have been in
favor of such legislation as is requisite
and essential to secure promptly and
without discrimination, and at reason
able rates, convenient and ample ele-
vator and warehouse accommodations,
and proper and speedy transportation
to all accessible and appropriate mar
kets.
Eighth-Telegraph, telephone, rail-
road and all other transportation COM
panies. and all corporations or indi.
viduals performing any public service
or employment are amenable and sub
ject to public control; and we favor the
enactment and enforcement of such
laws as will compel them to render eff
ticient and approved service at fair and
reasonable rates, without favor or dis
elimination as to persons or places.
Ninth-The pensions awarded by q
generous nation to the disabled and I'M
fortunate veterans of the late war,
their widows and orphans, should be
given them with a fair and generous
hand and not grudgingly and with re-
straint. We deprecate the parsimoni-
Gus, super-critical and harassing atti.
tude OF the present democratic admin.
istration in its treatment of the present
bene6ciaries of our pension laws.
Tenth-The Republican party has al.
ways advocated equal rights and priv.
ileges for all the people without any
distinction as to classes or individuals.
We believe in the fullest rights of
labor and of la boring men, and are op-
posed to class privileges of all kinds.
The American workmen are the pro-
ducers of our wealth and greatness,
and we are and should be solicitous for
their welfare and happiness. We earn.
estly advocate such legislation as will
secure the peaceful adjustment by ar.
bitration of differences arising from
time to time between employers and
employees, and condemn unqualifedly
capitalists and others who refuse to set
tie such differences along these peace
full lines. The wanton destruction of
property, whether private, corporate or
public, should be prevented, and mob
violence promptly suppressed at all
hazards. We stand for law and order.
for the punishment of crime, and for
the lawful redress of all wrongs.
Observation-Disclosures, There are now
in this state about four million acres of
railroad lands which are held Or used
for railroad purposes and do not con-
tribute to the gross earnings tax or to
any other state or local tax, we demand
that said lands be taxed by the ordi-
nary method of direct taxation, and
that such tax be in addition to the
present gross earnings tax upon rail-
road property.
Twelfth-We earnestly and emphati-
cally urge the adoption of an amend
ment to the national constitution, ex-
SShS1AhSo viz LII VI oAdSS VI VIC ~ CSl-
dent of the United States to six years;
and providing that no person who has
been president of the United States
shall thereafter be eligible to the same
Office.
We therefore respectfully request
congress to propose an amendment to
the constitution that will speedily ac-
cOmpliSh this end
Thirteenth-Wec commend and indorse
the wise, economical and statesman
