THE PLATFORM
We endorse the principles laid down in
the platform adopted by the Democratic
national convention. held at Kansas City.
July l. and pledge our unqualified sup
port to Bryan and Stevenson, candidates
for the offices of President and Vice
President.
The Democratic party Is, as it always
has been the friend of labor. and We de-
plore the conditions which have grown
up under Republican rule whereby honest
toll is deprived of its just share OF the
wealth which it produces: and We pledge
ourselves to use all honorable means to
restore il to the high and dignitied posi-
tion to which by nature it is entitled,
and toward the accomplishment of this
object. we favor the enactment of 5S-
hour law.
Extravaganza in State government
works hardshipS upon industry. Econ
omy acts in the interests of labor. The
less tax the better the condition OF the
laborer Economy in government, is the
watchword Of the Democratic party;
therefore in the interests Of the people.
and for economy. we oppose the creation
OF the proposed new office of state audi
tor for the purpose OF examination or
accounts, a duty now encumbered upon
the Governors Council. the state being |
already overburdened with office holders. |
Believing the fee system to be the
solJrce of unnecessary. unjust and ex-
pensive charges upon the pubic treasury.
