op~n or covert, between the United States
aud aAy other nation, which will tend t.
the destruction or abridgenaont Of Human
liberty.
Porto Rico-The Declaration Of indie
pendence. the Constitution and the Flag,
are one and inseparable. The island Of
Porto Rico Is part Of the United States,
and placing upon it the burden of certain
duties, as we'll rs by denying it's people
a delegate to Congress, the Administra-
ton has violated tho Constitution, aban-
doned the fundamental principles of
American liberty, aud has strlven to give
the lie to the contention Of our fore
fathers that all men are created equal,
that government rests for its sanctiOn
upon the consent Of the governed, and
that representation and taxation are in
keperable.
Lotteries and Prize Fighting-We re-
ject the proposed constitutional amend

luton.

the hours OF labor 10y the State.and that a

happiness of those who labor. We there
lature to the passage of All eight-hOur
law, applicable to all labor in mines,
mills, smelterS and other works for re-
ducing or refining ores, and to extend
such law to other classes of labor to
which ii is applicable, after hearing and
such classes. and to provide by law for

officers. without additional salary the
duty of a Commissioner of Labor, who
shall collect all statistics relating to labor
in this State, and who shall make re-
commentator to the Legislature from
time to time as to appropriate legislation.
Water Storage-We believe that water
storage for arid lands should be recog-
nlzed by the general government as a
part of its internal improvement system,
and that liberal appropriations should be
made for that purpose, and we call at
tention To the specific declartion in this
behalf IN the national platform, favoring
an intelligent system of improving the
arid lands OF the West, storing the waters
tor the purposes of irrigation, and the
holding of such lands Tor actual settlers.
We believe that the development of the
Repu bile within the arid regions, by a
proper system Of internal improvement,
will build up An empire based on equal
eisry of any empire based on the acqui-
siiion OF distant countries aud the sub
lection Of inferior races.
University and Schools-We recognize
the high efficiency aud usefulness of our
university, and favor legislation which
will advance its aims and purposes. We
also recognize the necessity of maintain-
ing the excellence of our public schools,
and we are opposed to any legislation
which will deminish or improperly d.
vert the income Of our schools
Interstate Commerce--We demand such
legislation as will protect individuals and
communities from unjust discrimination
and the public from unjust and unfair
transportation rates.
Corrupt Practices We demand the
passage of q law reasonably limiting the
expenditures of candidates in elections
and preventing corrupt practices in such
/, elections.

cl;m>i|r wore during three senatorial
campaigns, and now appears in his true
character Of Republican camp follower
and subServlent tool of the present golc
