ing the past eighteen years conserving the
public interest by improving the condition
of labor is unequalled in our history. One
hundred and sixty such enactments were
written in our statutes covering the whole
range OF labor's interest in the workshops
factories, mines and quarrles and upon all
forms of public work.
I'VE believe that capital, honestly en-
ployed should, be permitted to feel that
sense OF security essential to stimulate its
legitimate investment and thus safeguard
the prosperity which has been so well es-
tablished under republican administration"
OF conservation the platform says:
In the interests of the growth and pros
perity of the state, we favor the cpnscrva-
tion. development and utilization of all our
natural resources, under conditions, how
ever, which will protect and safeguard the
rights of the state"
Direct nominations are endorsed as fol-
lows:
ITO Governor Hughes is due the credit
OF arousing the interest OF the people and
convincing them to the need Of directly
electing their party officers and directly
nominating their party candidates. We
promise Legislation which will enact the
principles into law" =
Reference to President Taft and Cover
