pies rights.
We condemn the Republican
State administration for its ineffi-
cheney and mismanagement of the
States affairs and for its failure to
maintain the honor and credit of
the Commonwealth.
We favor such legislation as will
insure to every child within the
Commonwealth good education
at the expense of the State, by per-
hitting each county to take such
action, by bond issue or otherwise,
as will secure this result.
We are opposed to the pernicious
influence of the lobby in shaping
legislation, but recognize the right
of any individual, or any business
interest to appeal to the Legislature
by petition or in person.
We favor the establishment of
State Bank department and inspec-
ton of State banks by competent
examiners to be appointed by the
Governor and confirmed by the
Senate.
We are heartily in favor of the
popular election of U. S. Senators as
advocated by the National Plat
forms of the Democratic party.
We are in favor of a primary
election law by which candidates
for State and district officers of
all parties may be nominated on
the same day, at the expense of the
State; that the poor man may be
given en- equal chance with the rich
in offering for Office.
We favor a law by which a peace
officer may be removed from Office
who wrongfully or negligently fails
to protect any prisoner committed
to his care.
We indorse the laws that have
been placed upon the statute books
by the Democratic party for the pro-
lection of the interests of the farm
ers and laboring men in their eff
forts to secure reasonable prices for
their products and labor, and ia
vor further legislation that will en-
courage the organization and CO.
operation of farmers and laboring
men.
We favor legislation that will
further improve the condition and
add to the safety of those who la
Dor in factories, shops and mines,
and demand a strict enforcement of
the child labor law.
We Believe that the building and |
extension of railroads should be !
encouraged for the purpose of de-
veloping our great natural resources |
and moving our products; but at
the same time the railroads should
be compelled to recognize that they
are servants and not masters of the
people. and should be held to a
strict compliance with the mandates
Of the Constitution and require
ments of the law.
We favor the extension of the
present local option law so as to
make the county the unit all over
the State.
We believe that the Federal Gov
eminent should be in accord and
harmony with the several State |
governments in matters that are To-
,al to the State or different COM |
of the State, and that |
when any district or territory in (
he State has adopted the local op- I
ion law, the federal authorities
should refuse to grant a Govern c
nent license to any person to en- I
rage in the liquor traffic in such @
erritory. [
We indorse the candidates who
ave been nominated for State off,
es, and invite all voters, regardless
4 previous political affiliations or
asst differences, to join us in elect
ng capable and efficiet officers in e
estoring the credit of the Common u
'eath, and In bringing about peace q
nd prosperity to the citizens of Il
ne State.
