(6) Absentee Voters: No citizen should be disfranchised in elections by reason of change of residence or enforced absence from home We advocate the amendment of our election laws to make it possible for all duly qualified and registered voters who are unable to vote in person in the districts where they are so qualified and registered, to register or vote by affidavit wherever they may be.
 CD Freedom of Speech and Press: We sand for the fullest freedom of speech and press compatible with the safety of our demo- cratic institutions We are unalterably- op- posed to any censorship which does not have for it's purpose either (a) the withholding from the enemy in times of war of information of military value; (b) the prevention of malicious islander and misrepresentation; (c) the detec- tion and punishment of direct indictments to crime.
 We demand that legislation be immediately enacted to take from the officials of the post which they have used for generation.
 (8) Uniform Divorce Laws: We favor uni form marriage and divorce laws, the extermi- nation of polygamy and the most rigorous SUD- pression of the traffic in girls and women and all other forms of commercialized vice.

The Present Issue

is cheap and manufacturers and mine operators plead labor shortage and consequent necessity to wipe out child labor standards. The govern ment is the great purchaser of the products of factories and mines and the president, secretary of war and secretary of navy have declared that the government has no desire to pur- chase at such sacrifice of it's most precious resources. That any manu- facturer or mine operator should swell his profits at the cost of the physical welfare or the education of the chil- dren can not be tolerated.
 In spite of dire prophecies of south ern mill owners about great reduction in output the past year on account of the operation of the draft and be- cause of the Child Labor act, the year was a record breaker in output and profits. It may be necessary eventu- ally to sacrifice the children as we'll as the young men of the country, but that time will not be reached until all unnecessary production is curtailed and the adult labor supply completely mobilized for war purposes only. Eng land and France testify that the break ing down of child labor standards in those countries was not in the inter- est of sustained efficiency in produc- ton.

WHAT'S HE THINKING NOW?
By WILLIAM P. CANTWELL

By WILLIAM P. CANTWELL I wonder what's the great big thought
 That haunts the Kaiser now? l wonder if his bean is fraught
 With his huge threat and VOW? I'wonder if he's changed his mind
 Since we got in the fray? I wonder if he still is blind
 And speaks now of s'The Day ?'' He said we were but children here We did not know our minds Yes, that we'd better have fear
 And crouch behind our blinds; He vowed his plans no one could thwart Straight sailing it would be- For Tanks were not the fighting sort
 Away across the sea. Poor Bll he's slowly waking up To obstacles ahead He finds his so-called Yankee Pup"
 Is more alive than dead; His hordes are meeting stiffer game Than eer they dreamt we'd give, Those captured now respect our name
 And plead to let them live. Let every one who's we'll enough
 To aid by brain and hand Just say Well call this German bluff
 And see that Bill is canned; Those Yankee lads will win with ease
 With help from me and you; Let's show strength beyond the seas And bid old Bill adieu.

PART III IT INTERN NATIONAL DEMOCRACY

0Nef recognize the Republic of the World as to goal of international political development. As steps looking toward and corollaries of that goal, we propose the following:
 CD Abolition of Secret Diplomacy: We demand the complete characterization of our foreign policy and international relations. Believing that the making of secret treaties and agreements by governments without the sanction of their peoples is one of the chief causes of international misunderstandings and wars, we demand that the government of the United States shall not make any treaty or agreement with any nation or nations except in open session of the senate. We further demand that in the councils of the nations, the government of the United States shall urge that the sanction of the peoples shall be made essential to any treaties or agreements among civilized nations.
 As special state problems, we favor:
 State inspection of jails, prisons, reforma- tories, charitable institutions or other institu- tions of similar character.
 We are opposed to state aid to all institu- tions of private character.

PART II
 INDUSTRIAL DEMOCRACY

CD Public Ownership: Public ownership operation and democratic control of steam and electric railroads, shipping, telegraph and telephone systems, coal and metal mines, water power, natural gas and oil wells, light and power plants, timber lands, terminal ware houses and elevators, packing plants and flour mills, and all other public utilities and basic industries which depend on franchises, or re- quire large scale operation on a non-competi- tive or centralized basis.
 (2) Municipal Ownership: Municipal own ership, operation and democratic control of all public utilities, and all services essentially monopolistic in nature.
 (3) Democratic Taxation: (a) The gradual and progressive transfer of taxes from Improvements and all products of labor to land values, so as to break up land monopoly and to increase opportunities for production (b) Rapidly progressive taxation of incomes and inheritances, with heavier rates on incomes from investments than from personal services
 (4) Abolition of Speculation: We favor the abolition of gambling or trading in Captions" futures" or "short selling,' or any other form of so-called speculation, wherein products or

NATIONAL PARTY OF CONNECTICUT
July 4th, 1918

We, the National Party of Connecticut, in convention assembled in the City of Hartford, present to our voters the following declaration of principles:
 We endorse without reservation the platform March 6-8, 1913, but emphasize especially the following blanks:
 POLITICAL DEMOCRACY
 CD Equal Suffrage: (a) The right of suf account of sexya We therefore demand the nationwide enfranchisement of women on equal terms with men, and pledge ourselves to work for the realization of that ideal In particular the ratification of the Federal Suffrage Amend ment whenever it shall be submitted.
 (2) Initiative, Referendum and Recall: In order that the people may have the democratic right to originate and reject legislation, and to control elected officials, we advocate the the Initiative, Referendum and Recall, with adequate safeguards against their abuse.
 (3) Proportional Representation: We favor the adoption of a system of Proportional Rep resentation, so as to assure to every party representation in the legislative councils of the state and the nation in proportion to it's numeri- cal strength. We favor the application of the same principle to the government of cities.
 (4) Prohibition: We favor legislation by state and nation absolutely prohibiting the manufacture, sale, transportation, importation and exportation of intoxicating liquors with all our might for the ratification by the states of the Federal Prohibition Amendment
 (5) Election Laws: We favor the passage of election laws that will afford minority parties fair chance to nominate candidates and place them before the people.
