the repeal of the present law limiting the recovery in death cases to S5, GOO or
 any 1 other arbitrary sum
 the enactment of a workingmen's com
 pensatton law for injuries We favor the re-esta blishment of Io- l car seH-goVernEnent in the State to the end that counties, towns and cities and l noroughs may have the right to elect 1 bnet+, [ne4+ own officers and regulate all nahters Of purely local interest; and
 we also favor conservative modern lzing of the Sunday law

 t1aV taVor [he passing of a law requiring the publication before election of the
 amounts contributed for campa{gn D1Ir- poses; together with the names of the The Connecticut Derocrsovv e.-... an honest and effective corrupt Drac- Itces law, which shall stop the use of

 say to every citizen that his right tc9 serve his fellows is a matter C1f lbaTO acter, not of debauching- human be- lngs. The emascu1atiOn of the law by the Republican General Assembly W,ass a wicked abuse of political power and underraken that contests for political offices might proceed without restric- tionS.
 We believe in the establishment of a CIVIL service law for the State, that the employees of all State institutions may be appointed on the merit sys- tenn.
 We call attention to the fact that now for many years the Republican party has used the lower courts of State, city, borough and town co1Irts as part of their political machine for the payment of political debts Al more d1sgraceful use of the judiciary is not conceivable. and the Republican party has so used these courts for many years.
 We favor a rational economy in the expenditures of public funds and the abolition of the direct State tax on
 We ask that the recommendation Of the Hon. Rollin S. Woodruff that a single purchasing department be es- abolished for all institutions of the State be adopted. We believe thai the present methods are unecononoicaI and open to the greatest abuses and permeated with petty patronage.
 For years the party has demanded these reforms The restorati ton of the full right of trial by jury in negligence cases was the result of Democratic agf- tatton- The Republican party has been averse to these changes ana grants only what it can no longer with safety refuse. The people of this State should entrust the enactment of these to their avowed friends rather than to their secret enemies.
 Therefore we ask the people of Con- necticut to elect the State ticket that we place in nomination, and so secure an administration of the affairs Of State during the next two years which will put public interests before party interests. cut off unnecessary expenses and do equal and exact justice to every citizen
