7th-We favor just pensions for every

8th-Believing that the election fran

9th-While the foregoing propositions
constitute the platform upon which our

which it's organization will be maintained,
we recognize that the great and pressing
issue of the pending campaign, upon
which the present presidential election
will turn, Is the financial question, and

tween the parties we cordially invite the
aid and cooperation of all organizations
agreeing with US upon this vital question.
