our senators and representatives i'm

| American Industries, but believe that
| tariff rates should be modified from
| time to time to meet the changed con-
ditions, such notifications to be made
by the friends of protection, and not
| by it's enemies.
For the benefit of the American

We demand the enactment of
| statute making it a penal offense in
this state for any person or corpora

issuing of the same to employees to be
used by them in the performance of

We favor the enactment Of a law
regulating lobbying before our state

| We favor the enactment of COM
prehensive and practical primary cleo
ton law for the nomination of all con-

and county officers by a direct vote

| We favor an amendment to the con-
stitution of the United States provid-

/ senators by direct vote of the people.
We favor the enactment of laws pro-

in any form to any political party,
and requiring an accurate record of
bursements to be kept and for the
bursements to be KEEP tand for the
publication of the same.

their financial Importance, their bene-
fit to the state and their general and
| indispensable utility. and while we
pledge ourselves to accord them every
just and honorable consideration and
all encouragement consistent with the
public welfare, yet we believe that
the time has now arrived when indi-
vidual freedom and the dignity of
American manhood alike demand that
public service corporations should be
entirely eliminated from politics.
