The giving TO citizens the right to vote
for all officers was another thing that the

fought hard for. This. too, the wage

nominations for the city council In many
wards OF the several cities are controlled
by the rings padding the personal prop
erty assessment rolls.
Still other measures that the Demo-
crates in the legislature have championed,
and which the Wage Earners Club has
made a part OF its platform. are the en-
forcement or the laws for factory inspec-
tion and sanitation and the abolition OF
child labor
q The reforms already made in the latter
laws were first advocated in the assem-
bly, by Democrats; and a vigorous fight
for the abolition OF night labor for chill
dren was made in the assembly OF 1903
These reforms then met the strenuous
opposition or the Republlan boss and his
committee on special legislation
These are but a few OF the many
issues the Democracy has raiised and
valiantly supported
ION the question OF constitutional re-
form. there has never been any doubt
about the position of the Demo cratic par
~ leaders. They will next fall undoubted-
ly assert all the important measures
needed from the Improvement OF the state
and its people; and there will be no di-
verting attention this time from the main
issues by the chicanery OF the badly rout-
ed gang OF Hessians.
1T Is. think. well that the trade un-
ionists have determined 10 take united ac-
ton. The men at the head OF the Wage
Farmers Club can be OF great service
TO the state and 10 all classes by aiding
the Democracy In its efforts to overthrow
the well fortified state machine
There must be a union OF all earnest
ment In battle OF this nature against the
grafters and the upholders OF special priv
ileges."
