Fundamental Democratic Laws.
We pledge our candidates for the le-
gislaure TO the enactment of the fol.
lowing laws which are fundamentally
Democratic and the electorate will
take no excuse for failure to vote for
the same, namely: Direct Primary; In
itiatyo, Referendum; Recall, and a
law preventing corrupt practises sim
liar TO that upon the statutes OF the
State of Oregon. Such laws are in
force in many of the States and have
proven meritorious beyond question
The recent scandals connected with
the primary election in the Republican
party and charged and counter-charged
by leading Republican papers demon
strates the necessity for a Direct Pri-
mary Law in this Territory.
We regard the plank in the Repub-
lican party platform recently adopted,
declaring for direct primary law APP
plicable TO the island of Oahu, only, as
the most ridiculous.
County Control.
We insist upon a more rapid expan.
sion of county government and the adj
dition of more elective offices who are
subject to the will of the people in the
performance Of their public duty
namely: Recorder of Deeds; Tax As.

Schools; County Surveyor and suCn
other officers as may be found neces
sary to carry on the business of a
county under such county government

We urge upon congress the ne.cssit
of appropriating money and to acquir

, vested private fishing rights in tbi
