PLATFORM ADOPTED.
The convention adopted the following
platform
1--WE, the Democrats OF Weber coun.
~ In convention assembled, do hereby
declare our allegiance 10 the platforms
Of our party adopted by the national
convention at 81 Louis and the state
convention at Salt Lake city,
I'VE express our admiration for our
national standard bearers. Judge Alton
b. Parker and Senator Henry G.. Davis,
and congratulate the people OF the state
of Utah that they have the opportunity
to assist In electing TO the highest Of
fees IN the gift Of the people two such
capable law-lovng citizens.
"Wt pledge our hearty support Of the
candidates named by our state conven-
ton We invite the cordial assistance
towards securing their election Of every
person IN Weber county who believes IN
constitutional government In the United
States and who desires peace In our
own state.
III, as has been charged In some
quarters, there shall be an attempt az
the next session OF the Legislature 10
repeal that humane statute softenine
somewhat the rigor Of the common law
rule respecting fellow seryants.wC here
by pledge the candidates named by this
convention 10 oppose such repeal, un-
less II shall be by enacting a law still
further extending the scope Of this benz
efcent enactment.
"And 10 this end that the people may
have I'm their own hands the power TO
defeat unjust and vicious legislation,
both In the state and IN municipalities,
and also that they may secure the en-.
actment into law their will, when un-
Justly ignored, we do further pledge the
legislative candidates named by this
convention 20 labor 20 secure the pass
sage OF a law giving effect 20 the con- !
stitutlOnal amendment adopted by the |
people OF this state four years ago.
which amendment two consecutive Re- |
publican legislatures have permitted 10
lie dormant, and have, In fact az both |
sessions Of the Legislature, since held, |
buried I'm committee bills introduced Tor |
the purpose above named,
I'VE invite the serious consideration |
of the people OF this county TO the fact |
that SO far the state Of Utah has re-
ceived no benefit from the law intro
ducCd IN Congress by q Democrat ana |
passed by Democratic votes against |
the opposition OF the great majority OF |
the Republican members. though f0rtu- |
nately signed by a Republican presl- |
dent, whereby the west shall receive
federal aid In the development Of its
arid lands, while In oil the adjacent |
states enterprises are already under |
way-a condition resulting, without |
doubt from the contentious, strife and
dlscord existing between the two Re-
publican senators Of this state who.
agreeing In nothing, neglect the welfare
OF the whole people.
I'VE pledge the Democratic party OF
Weber county TO an economical admin
lstratlon OF the AFFAIRS Of the county,
ever holding that a public office Is o
public trust"
The convention was addressed by
Judge Powers and Chairman Richards,
who made ringing speeches and predict
Cd a glorious Democratic victory IN
