the enactment of statute regu.
lating all transportation compa.
nies as far as possible in harmony
with the existing federal laws up,
on the subject, but with the right
of court review eliminated.
The selection of Denver by the
national committee as the place
for holding the next convention
was a graceful recognition of the
growth and influence of the West
which has been recognized and
appreciated by all our people
without reference to political be-
lief, but more especially by the
Democracy Of this state whose in
terests and prospects have been
thereby greatly promoted.
Recognizing the recent open
and flagrant abuse of the present
system of electing United States
senators by the legislature of the
state, and that the will and choice
of the people are often defeated
thereby declare that they will
continue to battle for the cleo
ton of senators of the United
States by direct vote of the
people; and in the present cam
paign we favor the nomination
in the Pueblo convention of
candidate of the Democratic par
ty for senator of the United
States; and pledge our candidate
for the general assembly, if
elected, to vote for the candidate
so nominated. We further favor
the enactment of statute of the
state requiring at all elections
preceding elections for senator's
of the United States the express
sion of the voter of his choice for
such senator.
We are in favor of the preser-
walton of the national forests of
our country and demand legisla-
tion for the government thereof
which will correct the abuse now
in vogue by the forestry depart
ment and limit the forest, reserva-
ton to that part of the public
domain which can be utilized for
forestry purposes.
Resolved, That we are in favor
of a national banking law which
will guarantee to the depositor
absolute safety of his deposit;
law similar to the one enacted by
the state of Oklahoma, and advo-
Gated by the great leader of Dem
ocracy, W. j. Bryan, as a pre-
ventive of panics, so dangerous
to the progress ofsour. country
and the welfare of the people.
The enactment of such law by
the general government would
make the banks of our country
the repositories of all the money
of all the people, thus rendering
future currency stringency i'm
probable by placing in circulation
and use the vast sums of money
belonging to the timid people,
who, distrustful of the banks,
withheld them from circulation.
We view with appreciation the
work of the Democratic state ad-
visory committee in organizing
the Democratic party throughout
the state and recommend that its
work be vigorously continued by
and with the sanction of the
Democracy of the state. - i
Resolved, That in William. j.
Bryan the Democracy of Colo
RADIO recognizes a true patriot, a
wise, fearless and conservative
statesman and a thoroughly hon
est man-in the White House or
out of it, no macrine controls him,
no boss dictates to him, no spe-
cial privilege interests can coerce
him His independence, his abil-
ity, his exalted patriotism, his
stainless character appeal to- the
loyal people of the nationa. 90
Therefore, We hereby instruct
the delegates elected by this con-
vention to represent the Democ-
racy Of Colorado in the national
convention to cast their ten votes
for William j. Bryan for presi-
dent and to continue to so cast
them while his name shall be be-
fore the. convention as a candi-
date.
