management and extravaganza.
 The state administration began its official life by proclaiming ad- herence to Democratic simplicity. Ostentatiously walking to the capi- tol upon the day of inauguration, the Governor has ever since travelled about the state in a luXuriously ap- pointed automobile owned and main tained by the state.
 We call attention to the fact that the cost of the state government as shown by the expenditures of the state for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1914, is approximately two and third times that of any year under territorial government.
 We cali attention to the fact that during the past two years there has been an increase of more than one million dollars in the expendi- lures of the state government. We charge that a great part of this increase is unnecessary and the re- suit of gross extravaganza and in efficiency.
 We charge that every permanent state board and commission except the Live Stock and Sheep Sanitary Boards has shown an increase in expenses for the last fiscal year ending June 30, 1914.
 We charge that, for partisan ends, the cost Of government has been greatly increased through the crea- ton nj unnecessary offices and the employment of numerous clerks and others whose services are not need cd for the efficient conduct of the business of the state.
 We charge that the Governor has filled the appointive offices and boards from his personal political following and in doing so has ig- nored fitness and competency as qualifications for office.
 We charge the Democratic Leg islature of the state with the hold ing of unnecessary sessions at great expense to the people, with the useless expenditures of money in the employment of clerks and other employees and with extravagant and useless appropriations of public mon eys.
 We charge that the Land Commis- sion has cost the state during the last two fiscal years more than S5O,- GOO; that this excessive cost has not been justified by the results Of its work and that because Of the dila- toryand unbusiness-like methods em- ployed by the Commission, the in terests of the state have suffered. We charge the Corporation Com mission Of the state with failure to discharge the important duties of the office in the spirit of fair and impartial justice and that this failure is due in part to incapacity and incompetency, in part to lack of judicial fairness and in part to the lack of harmony among the members of the Commission.
 We charge the Democratic Party of the state with having broken faith with the people of the state in extending the terms Of office of the first state officers, including the members of the Legislature from one year to three years.
 We charge that the state has been scandalizcd by revelations showing gross unftncss on the part of per sons placed by appointment in charge of state institutions and by the fact that in some instances these persons were retained in office by the Board of Control long after their misconduct was known and un- til public opinion made their re- moval imperative.
 The Republican Party promises that if placed in power it will give to the people of the state clean, efficient. economical and business like administration, free from ex- travagance. the exploitation Of in dividual lads. and from offensive partisanship; that it will build its energies, not to the building up of a party machine, but to the up building Of the state; that its chief end and aim will be to restore prosperity to all the people of the state through a fair. impartial and just enforcement of the law. and the adoption of such administrative policies as will encourage legiti- mate business. give employment to labor and lead to genuine and last ing progress and advancement.
