We favor law prohibiting false ad.
vertising for labor.
We demand, in accordance with the
constitutional mandates of this state,
and the laws of the United States, that
the next legislature divide the state
into congressional districts, and we
condemn the past republican lrgisla-
lures for the anarchistic refusal so to
10.
We favor an appropriation Ivy the
legislature for the purpose of expand
ing the capacity and output OF the jute
mill at the state penitentiary. This
we advocate both from the standpoint
of humanity and economy.
We favor such modification of our
present road law as will guarantee to
different sections of the different coun.
ties of our state the expenditure upon
the roads and bridges of the different
sections of the county in order that ane
section of a county may not discrimin.
ated against at the expense of another
We demand law for the examina.
tion of state banks at frequent inter.
walls and the publication of statements
by such banks.
We demand law for the proper
safe guarding of all public moneys
placed on deposit and requiring in
terest thereon, at proper rates, from
all such public repositories, 10 be paid
into the public treasures.
We favor the adoption by the legis-
lature of a law relating to injuries to
an employe, similar to the law enacted
by the last congress relating to person
al injuries.
We are in favor of abolishing the
present law of this state requiring the
payment of $l2 fee by any litigant as
a prerequisite to right of trial by jury.
We favor a more efficient law than
we now have for the protection of hcr-
ticultural interests of our state, and we
believe that competent fruit inspec-
tor should be elected by the people of
each county and not appointed, as
under eXirting law.
We welcome the advent of our ma.
tonal government in the field of irri.
CATION ia this state, and we emphat-
ically denounce the present state adj.
ministration for the attitude it assumed
in endeavOring to block federal re-
clamation work and in this connection
we favor the passage of a law by the
next legislature designed to protect
the interests of the national govern
ment ia the distribution of stored
waters. However, we are unalterably
opposed to any law calculated to build
up political machine composed OF
needless officials to interfere with the
rights of water users. We believe the
entire judiciary should be entirely re
moved from the domain of partisan
politics and therefor demand that the
next legislature of this state enact q
law providing for the election of su.
prone any superior court judges at
time when no other officers are to be
elected and under such circumstances
that the candidates will not be desig.
mated or the choice of any party.
We demand the enactment OF anti.
pass legislation, making it IA felony to
issue passes or transportation to public
officials to receive passes from trans.
portation companies, violations of these
laws on the part of the transportation
company to be punished not by the i'm
position of fine, which we believe in
adequate to suppress this evil, but by
the imprisonment OF the officers and
representatives of said companies who
are in any way intentionally instru.
mental in the issuance Of such passes.
Violation OF these laws on the part Of
the public officials to be punished both
by fine and forfeiture of their Offices.
We believe these measures necessary
in coping with this pernicious evil.
We believe the politics of our state
should be unhampered by the influence
of corporate power and we demand the
enactment of laws publishing by i'm
prsOnment corporation officers or rep
esentatives who are knowingly instr
mental in having the corporation they
represent contribute either campaign
funds or railroad transportation TO any
political organization or TO those who
may be acting under it,
Nominations were then called for
and made by reclamation, the con-
gres5men one at a time and the justices
of the supreme court in two votes, the
two members for the short term and
the two for the long term being v0Led
for togetner,-P |,
