helleVe in ana Tor Wh1cn L stand.
They are:
First-The emancipation of the
Republican party and the politics
and government of the state from
the domination, control and influ-
ence IF the Southern Pacific Rail-
road company or its political bu-
reau. This should be the first and
cardinal principle of politics in this
state because, until that pernicious
influence is removed, none of the
other reforms necessary for the
protection of the rights of the peo-
pie can be accomplished.
Second-The full and complete
freedom and independence of voters
from boss or corporate rule, dom
ination or influence.
Third-The election of United
States senators by direct vote of
the people.
HONEST OFFICIALS
Fourth-The election of state of
ficers and members of the legis-
lature capable honest and free
from all obligation to or domina-
ton or control by the Southern Pa
cific Railroad company or its po-
litical bureau, or any other cor
porate or boss influence; men who
will withstand such influences and
serve the people independently and
conscientiously.
Fifth-A nonpartisan judiciary
and the election Of men as Judges
who will keep themselves free from
politics or political methods or in
f1uence and who are fitted for the
position by their learning, ability,
honesty. integrity and impartiality,
and not as a reward for services
rendered to any political party.
Sixth-Such amendments of exist
Ing laws or the enactment OF new
ones as will insure speedy justice
and avoid the laws delays that
have become a reproach to the laws
of the state and nation and brought
the courts into public conueHlna-
tion.
maintenance of what have justly
bncone known as the Roosevelt
nolicies. and especially the con-
servation of our national resources
fo1. and in the interest of the Whole
neonle. and his demand in his mes
SAGE to congress for opportunity
for all and common honesty IN ous-
mess and in politics alike.
am also in full accord with the
sentiment so we'll expressed by
President Roosevelt that where
conflict arises between property
rights and human rights he STANDS
firmly for human rights.
THE TARIFF
Eighth-A protective tariff meas
ured by the difference between the
cost of manufacture or production
here and abroad. A higher tariff
than this is unjust to consumers
and tends to build up great Tort
unes in the hands of few, IN
crease the cost of living and foster
the evils of corporate and mon
eyed domination, influence ana op-
pression. A lower tariff would pc
llniust to the wage-earners or the
country, open the shops to foreign
cheap competition, lower the
standard of citizenship, and de-
grade labor. Honest labor should
he made a badge of honor IN a
country like ours, and not one OF
servitude and subserViency. ANY
law or custom that tends to multi
Dly and increase wealth IN the
hands of a few at the expense OF
the many, or to make mere rlches
a badge OF merit and place the
wage-earner. in the public estlma-
ton, in an inferior class, shoulu
be condemned by all good people
Ninth-That tariff rates should pe
fixed by a competent non partisan
and nermanent commission, ap-
pointed for that purpose, and not oy
congress.
GOVERNMENT STEAMERS
Tenth-The establishment and
maintenance of government
owned or controlled line of steam
ers connecting the Pacific ports
with the Panama railroad, and
government owned or controlied
line of steamers between Paclnc
and Atlantic ports through the
panama. canal, upon its compile
tion. This, l believe, will be one
means of breaking the grip of the
Southern Pacific Railroad company,
and it's owned and allied corpora
tfons. on the shippers of the coun-
try. and result in better and more
reasonable freight charges.
Fleventh-The cardinal princl-
nles of direct legislation, the in
itlative. referendum and recall In
CITY. county and state affairs.
Twelfth-The direct primary law
simplified and made more practlc-
able and less expensive. and the
preservation of the right of the
neoDle to nominate their own can
didates by direct vote and without
the Intervention of the political
caucus or convention.
Thirteenth-The extension of the
civil service in county and state
affairs.
Fourteenth-I sympathiZe with
the progressive Republican mem
hers of congress, or so-called IN
surgents. commend their courage
in the stand they have taken in the
interest Of the people, and believe
every citizen of this country that
believes in good government and
the freedom and independence of
the people should give them every
possible support, in every right
way. in the manly fight they are
making
There are certain things in poll
tics and government to when l
am opposed. and which should, IN
Justice to the electors of the state.
be stated in this connection:
MONEYED INTERESTS
First am opposed to any dom
ination over or Interference with
our politics or our government, mu-
nicipal. state or national, by cor
porations or the mOneyed interests
of the country. as subversiVe of
our free institutions and danger
Gus to the rights of the people,
Second am opposed to the CO.
ercion or intimidation of any de-
partment of government or any
public officer in the performance Of
his duty by corporate or moneyed
power or influence, or by any other
department or officer. Therefore,
I am opposed to what has come to
be termed Aldrichism in the United
States senate, and Cannonism IN
the house of representatives in
congress. or to any and all efforts
