These and many other progressive
measures have been affected by tho
Republican party for the benefit of our
people, thus showing that the Repuh-
lican party of the state, like the pap
ty in the nation, has fulfilled it's prom
Uses and merits continued support.
We favor the doctrine of home rule
in legislative matters and condemn thss
iniquitous gerrymander of legislative
districts by former Democratic leg
islature.
We pledge our members elected to
the next Legislature to correct this
evil by passing reapportionment bin
that shall be fair and equable to all the
counties of the state. and tho abolition
of the floating of Denver and other
'populous counties with any other, conn
ty.
We favor the enactment Of pE5-
mary election law.
We believe that the laws regulating
the operations OF corporations hanb-
ling or guaranteeing trust funds, such
as fidelity and surety companies and
other insurance companies, building
and loan associations and banks.
should be vigorously enforced, and
that these supervisory laws should bA
improved from time to time, embracing
such additional classes Of corporations
as may be subjectng the public to UNI
fair treatment.
We favor the enactment of laws
that will adequately protect bank de-
positors.
We realize the urgent necessity or
conserving the forests, water and 9th
er natural resources Of the state, buf
favor an administration and DISPOSE
ton of the public lands and other
natural resources which will NOT
retard our natural growth and do
velopment. In view Of peculiar
local conditions, with which th0
people Of Colorado are more famth-
lar than the national government, wa
believe the state should adopt and ene-
cute its own policy of conservation
and rules for the regulation and dispe-
sition of public lands and other natn-
raj resources. To that end We fayof
such state and federal legislation as
will enable the state to acquire title
to all public lands and other natural
resources within its borders.
We feel Justly proud of the educa-
tional system Of the state OF Colorado
and we record our purpose as parity
to generous cooperation with the adj
vanced forces of higher and technicasi
education in realizing for Colorado aha
that is worthy and best In this spieh-
did interest.
In order that our State University
may have the benefits OF enlarged
