the repeal of the present law limiting the recovery in death cases to $5, 900 or
 any other arbitrary sum.
 The Connecticut Democracy favors the enactment of a workingmen's com pensation law for injuries. We favor the re-esta blishment of 1o- cal sef-government in the State to the
 end that counties, towns and cities and Doroughs may have the right to elect the1r own officers and regulate all matters of purely local interest: and
 we also favor a conservative modern

 The Connecticut Democracy favors an honest and effective corrupt prac- t1ces law, which shall stop the use of money as a means of advancing se1- fish men to office, and which shah | say to every citizen that his right to serve his fellows is a matter of cbaro

 We believe in the establishments 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 courts the payment of political debts. A more disgraceful use of the judiciary 1 is not conceivable. and the Republican
 party has used these courts for | many years
 We favor a rational economy in the expenditures of public funds and the l abolition of the direct State tax on property.
 We ask that the recommendation of
 the Hon. Rollin s. Woodruff that a single purchasing department be es- State be adopted. We believe that
 the present methods are uneconomicaI
 and open to the greatest abuses and perneated with petty patronage For years the party has demanded these reforms The restoration of the
 full right of trial by jury in negligence cases was the result of Democratic agi- tation. The Republican party has been averse to these changes and grants only what it can no longer with safety refuse.f The people of this State should 7entrust the enactment of these
 measures 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 psace in nomination. and so secure
 an/administration of the affairs of SAte during the next two years which y .Qilf put public interests before party interests, cut off unnecessary expenses
 and do equal and exact justice to every citizen.
