Resolutions.
The committee on resolutions then
reported the following
The democracy of Amador county
in convention this 3lst day of August,
1905, declares that the platform
adopted at Denver by the national
democratic convention contains the
true theory on which the government
should be conducted, and If the
principles herein enunciated are
legaliZed and executed the happiness
and prosperity of the people will be
enhanced throughout the nation.
We declare the election of United
States senators by direct vote of the
people, protection to bank deposltors
aud the amelioration of labor condI-
tions by shorter hours and proper
anti-injunctlon legislation, and other
reforms, will be assured by the cleo
tion of a democratic congress and a
democratic president, and in that way
only, for the republican party, which
has had complete control Of every de-
parment of the government for many
years has turned a deaf ear to the
supplications and demands of the
common people, and has assiduously
labored aud legslated in the interest
of capital and the aristocraoy.
We firmly believe that the reforms
necessary to restore to the people the
rights and privileges guaranteed by
the declaration of independence and
the constitution can be secured at
this time by the election of the great
mmoneI, the staunch and constant
advocate of equal rights to all and
special privileges to none, the brilli-
ant statesman, the faithful and fear
less friend of the people, our peerless
leader, w. j. Bryan.
We point with much satisfaction to
the conduct of our county and town
ship officials, and commend them for
the faithful and efficient manner in
which they have conducted their re-
spective offices, and we pledge the
nominees of the convention, il elect
ed, to like faithful and efficient
public service.
Believing that the time has come
for change in the management of
our country and that the interests OF
all the people will be best conserved
by placing the affairs of the govern
ment in the hands of the dem ocratic
party, we appeal to our neigbhors to
assist us in righting the many wrongs
which now exist, and which the re-
publican party has so long and so
persisteDtly failed and neglected to
rectIty, Notwithstanding the fact that
they have been in undisputed power
tor so long. and the only relief they
have given the people is election
promises which they have never full
filled.
And finally we take pride in 1ndors-
ing the course pursued by Senator
Caminetti during the late session of
the Legislature at Sacramento, and
commend him for his able and fear
less efforts in behalf OF the interests
OF the people of his district.
And finally we take pleasure in
approving of the course of the demo-
cratic press of the county in the
campaign, and especially recommend
to the public tor patronage, not only
in the campaign, but heI Ieafter of the
following newspapers to wit: Anna
dor Dispatch, Sacramento Bee, Stock
ton Mail, and Commoner.
A motion was carried that each
candidate presented to the convention
be assessed IN the sum of S5.
Nominations
Nominations for superior Judge
being declared in order, X q Bole
nominated In a speech of eulogy the
present incumbent, K g Rust.
A Caminetti seconded, and there
being no other candidates, the
nomination was made by acclamation.
K g Rust appeared before the con-
and thanked the mem bers for
the honor conferred upon him, also
those who had said such kind words
in the nominating speeches. All his
life he had been a consistent demo
crat in principle. As Judge he had
been non partisan, endeavoring to do
his best from the light he had. AS a
judicial officer he knew no party, no
friends; he had applied the law as
he found it. He would do the best
he knew how in the future as he had
andeavored so to do in the past.
The nomination in district conven-
ton of three supervisors was next on
The program, and for this purpose
The delegates retired to separate
quarters. Upon reassembling the
supervisor candidates were reported
