1--WE are radically and unalterably op.
posed TO imperialism In the United
States OF America. When we have solved
some race problems that confront us at
home, then by example we can proclaim
the blessings that flow from free institu-
tions and thus procure benevolent asslm.
ilation without criminal aggression.
We are opposed to entangling alliances
with foreign kingdoms aud empires.
We profoundly regret that the American
soldiers are being unlawfully used In the
name OF liberty TO crush and destroy
dawning republicanism In the orient and
we denounce the secret and vicious ALI
ance now In evidence between England
and the republican administration. where.
by this nation may become involved
In war with foreign nations.
We demand that the Cubsns and Fill
pinos not only be permitted but encour-
aged to establish independent republics,
deriving all their governmental powers
from the consent Of the governed. We
tenounce the republican party for its
thirty eight years abiect subserviency to
the shipping interest Of Great Britain.
and we denounce the 30 called Hanna
Payne shipping bill which II enacted
into law would further shsckle our In.
terests.
We are In favor Of maintaining our
splendid and efficient navy. A large
standing army In our republic Is men-
ace to liberty.
We favor initiative and referendum;
passage OF the eight.hour labor law;
more rigid inspection of mines and
work shops; prohibition of sweat shops,
aud abolition OF contract system OF
prlson labor"

nounces the attorney general of the

statutes Of the United States against

In such control.

exception Of Highland county, from
