The following resolutions were
unanimously adopted:
we enthusiastically and unQual-
ificdly endorse the actions and poll
cies of President Wilson and the
national Democratic administration.
No other president has ever been
put to the acid test such as he has
been, and, though the world be en-
broiled in war, he has, through able
and efficient diplomacy and through
uneNcelled statesmanship, secured
for us peace With honor without
shedding drop Of blood, without
widowing a single woman. and with
out orphaning a single child. He has
not bowed down to the dictates of
either England or Germany, nor has
he Cowed down to the trusts in
dealing with the Mexican situation.
His success is personal triumph
and conclusive vindication of the
Democratic principles by which he
has been guided.
I'VE deplOrc the gag rule employ
ed by our present Republican state
administration. Personal qualifi-
cations and fitness have been ut
Ir1 Il 1.I
mcntS made by our present Rcpubi-
can governor. Every function of our
state government and every power
of the great office of governor of
this state has been prOstituted to
further an unworthy and selfish
political ambition and to build a po-
litical machine. The people of JEFF
ferson county will not soon forget
the ruthless way in which the
Bridge Bill and the Pheasant Bill.
in both Of which they were so vital
ly interested and which passed both
housed unanimously, were vetoed
by Republican governor.
THE present policy OF neglect of
rural roads in dC.c-oncc to cross
county highways is discrimination
against the farmer and the garden
er who pay the taxes and who are
entitled to consideration MS well as
the tourist and the members Of the
leisure class of Denver. more
equitable distribution OF road funds
and more economical system of
road building, and better system
Of road maintenance. is pledged BY
the Democratic party to the taSuuy-
rs of jefferson county.
We most cmphatically dcuouuce
The action of the present Republican
administration in reducing tt"
General school tax levy. thereby
"-rhing a hardship upon the thick
y populated school districts by in
rTing an Indebtedness in those
districts which should be borne by
the utility corporations and large
and c"ncla. We maintain that
the general tax levy should be dis
,ributed equally upon the taxable
property of the county.
The Democratic party of JelCer-
son county pledges itself to a lust
fair and vigorous enforcement of the
law. We believe that the county
commissioners should support IN,
public officials OF the county in
''''' 49, 10 w 'hi'A u lllf ~
We believe in the adoption of n
scIupulous assessment Of property ia
jefferson county for taxation pur-
poses and that such a system should
be closely adhered to and no favorl-
iism shown IN the fixing Of proper
~ values Tor taxation purposes.
We believe in restoring this
county on a financial basis 50 that
II Will he out Of debt and free from
the payment of interest on outgtaud-
ing warrants, and we pledge our
candidates TO the adoption Of a plan
that Will put jefferson county on
cash basis and save to the taNpayprg
the county $4,000 per year that
has heretofore gone to paying inter
est on outstanding warrants. And In
connection with the financial bugi-
ness Of the county. we pledge our
candidates 10 the adoption of q nr4-
TEN OF public reports that Will
snow the true state Of the finance
OF tho county free from the wguIlug
- Iiguos1 ~ any mak,shift o. schomc
whereby the truc financial c0ndi-
tion of tho county is covered up.
