when the alfalfa is wet with dew, she
will sometimes bloat up with gas,
and it is often necessary to puncture
the animals side to let the gas es-
cape and save her life. Well, l had
an old COW that used to be afflicted
that way quite often. One day when
we were getting ready to puncture
her, one of my men, an enemic-look-
ing young fellow from Connecticut,
named Taylor, who was out there for
his health, said he thought he could
attach jet to the punctured place
and we could burn the gas. / let
him try it, and, sure enough, we got
a steady, bright blaze from it. After
that, every time we had any night
work all we had to do was to feed
the COW some wet alfalfa and light
her up and chase her around to any
place where we needed her. Then
the neighbors got to borrowing her.
and as the season advanced she got
in such demand that put meter on
her. The first year she netted us
S2IS.65. She lived three years after
| that and was very profitable. Yes
sir, was sorry to lose that cow"

REPUBLICAN PLATFORM
Continued from First Page

their powers to enforce their process
and to protect life, liberty and prop
erty shall not be impaired. We de-
nounce the proposed recall of judges
as unwise, and the proposed recall of
judicial decisions as destructive OF
every safeguard guaranteed by the
state and federal constitutions. We
favor the adoption of constitutional
provision which will simplify the
methods and provide just and
speedy Procedure for the removal OF
judges and al lother officers from Of
fee, who may be found upon trial to
be derelict in duty.
Non-Partisan Judiciary.
We propose, and will enact, If elect
ed, laws which will provide for the
election of all judges OF courts of re-
cord at the general elections by a
ballot which shall be separate and
distinct from the balolt used in the
election of candidates for other. Offices
and upon which ballot there shall be
no party designation of candidates,
to the end that judicial offices may
be entirely removed from politics.
Reapportionment.
We. pledge ourselves to reapportion
the state in Congressional, Senatorial
portion to the population, eliminat-
ing all float senators and representa-
tives and providing that senatorial
and Legislative candidates shall be
elected in separte districts.
Agriculture.
We advocate, in view of the var
led conditions of soil and climate pre-
vailing in this state, the establishment
OF experimental farms upon Which
the state agricultural institutions may
join with the federal department of
agriculture i'll experimentation for the
benefit of the agriculturists of every
section of the state.
Civil Service.
We denounce thep resent and pre-
ceding Democratic administrations
for failure to obey the Republican
Civil Service Act of 1907. and the
evasion of the Act of the General As
sembly providing for the appointment
OF soldiers OF the war OF the rebellion
to fill positions in the various depart
ments of the state.
Initiative and Referendum.
The initiative and referendum has
been adopted by a large majority oi
the voters of this state and upheld by
the supreme court. 1t should be Civ
en- a fair trial by the people. We
protest that the law as it now stands
requires an excessive expenditure for
the submission of laws and permit:
opportunities for glaring frauds. which
has been evidenced by bills submitted
at this time upon which many forged
signatures appear; and we pledge our
selves to the enactment of modifica-
tions of the law which will do away
with the excessive cost and prohibit
the possibility of fraud.
Pests.
We recognize the damage tina,
comes to many of our industries from
the depreciation of ferocious animals
rodents and insects, and we pledge
ourselves to the enactment of laws
to protect these industries.
Local Option.
We are in hearty accord with the
principle of the local option law en-
acted by the Republican Legislature
of 1907. and believe in its rigid en-
forcement, because every community
is entitled to regulate and control its
own local affairs. :.
United States Senators.
We favor the election of United
States Senators by direct vote of the
0eople.
