a vast expediture of money by the
successful republican plurality candi-
date, but that with his outpour of
gold he is accused of being in close
alliance with privilege seeking corpor-
ations whose influence on Wisconsin
official life in the past has been
most demoralizing and damaging.
If money can thus rule in Wiscon-
sin, if the holders of swollen fortunes
made up from the returns of special
privilege legislation can thus by the
broadcast expenditure of their gains
in every precinct and hamlet of Wis
consin through the corrupt bribery
of the electorate by the hiring of
thousands of voters and through the
influencing of the public press, be
registered as the choice of the people
then we may as well do away with
our elections and let the fact plainly
be known that Wisconsin bows
in humble servitude as a worshiper
of Mammon.
We, the candidates of the democrat
ic party here assembled, do not be-
lieve the people of Wisconsin, the
unbought and unperchasabIe voters of
the state, want money instead of men
to rule, and that this stigma on the
fair name of the state shall rest un-
challenged.
We therefore demand that the com
ing legislature of the state rise above
partisanship and in behalf of the hon
or of Wisconsin name a committee
empowered by law to investigate,
thoroughly, honestly and worthily,
the extent of the influence of money
and corporations in the recent prim-
airy campaign.
We demand further, full, complete
and stringent legislation to strength
en- the primary election law, reason
ably limiting the expenditure of
money in political campaigns, requir'
ing the publicity before the primary
and general elections of all political
accounts by candidates or parties,
and the adoption of a law combining
voters to their own party primary,
and such other provisions as will
carry out an honest endeavor to make
the primary election law as 1t should
be, an instrument affording the vot-
ers of Wisconsin opportunity to ex-
press their choice for nominations
untramelled by corrupt and democrat
izing influences.
We heartily endorse the action of
the democratic members of the last
legislature in making possible the
passage of progressive passenger
rate laws and other progressive legis-
lation;
We favor the keeping of the mutual
life insurance companies close to the
policy holder, and believe that such
companies should be maintained mu-
tual in fact as well as name, and OPP
Grated and conducted in favor of the
policy holder.

I'VE favor the amendment of the
primary election law so as to auth

conventions for the purpose of adopt
ing a declaration of principles which
shall be binding upon their candi-
dates for Office.
eve favor an economic admins
tration of state affairs, to the end
that taxation shall not be unneces-
sarily burdensome.
1--WE earnestly invite the coopera-
ton of the electors of this state, ir-
respective of party affiliation, in sup
port of that eminent commoner,
William Jennings Bryan, and the dis
tinguished John w. Kern, and the pol
icies of the democratic party.
In addition to the above declara-
ton of party principles which we ap-
prove as our platform, we recon-
mend the adoption of the following
resolution:
We believe unreserverly in the
principle of primary election, bring

Believing this, we stand for all
legislation that will tend more and
more to perfect the primary election
law with the motive always in view Of

of the real sentiment of the voters.
