Democrats in Hot
Platform Call for
Reforms, And Some

Trenton, Oct. 1-Anti-prohibition
and immediate ratification of the Wo-
mans Suffrage amendment were
adopted as planks in tho Democratic
state platform by the Democratic con-
vention here yesterday
The anti-prohibition plank declares
for opposition by all lawful means to
the ratification or enforcement of the
Eighteenth Amendment, and proposes
to lead a movement that will enventu-
ally result in the amendments repeal.
Until the United States supreme court
passes upon the method of the adop-
ton of the amendment the platform
asserts it cannot be truthfully said
that prohibition is permanently law
of the land.
Row Over Suffrage Plank.
The Woman Suffrage amendment
was adopted after row on the floor
of the convention
Another plank in the Democratic
platform declared that 1.-The misera-
BILE and botched zone system of the
Public Service Railway Company is
the product of the partnership that
exists between the Republican party
and the utility corporations of the
state"
The zone system was denounced in
the platform and a demand made for
restoration of the five cent fare on
the Public Service Railway Company's
lines, to remain in effect until the
cOmpany's property is appraised and
an adequate rate established.
Would Gust Commissioners.
The platform pledges the party to
legislation to GUST the present utility
commissioners and to elect board of
three at the November election of
1920, meantime calling for the substi-
tuition of temporary commissioners
for the present incumbents.
The convention adopted a resolution
calling for recognition of the Irish
republic in the League of Nations. A
resolution was adopted recommending
legislation of 800 bonus for New Jer-
sey veterans of the world war.
The platform condemns the New
York income tax as applied to New
Jersey residents and pledges the party
to prevent the enforcement of the
statute.
1t pledges legislation for the bet
terment of the public school system
of the state and adequate compensa-
ton for teachers.
Laws are advocated looking toward
the betterment of the conditions of
laborers for forbidding the unwar-
ranted issuing of writs of injunctions
in labor disputes. The platform also
contains a reputation of the sug-
gestion that labor is a commodity,
and guarantees legislation to compen-
safe the workman for his labor, suf-
ficient to meet the high cost of living.
Legislation is advocated whereby
railroads and utility corporations
shall assume their just burden of
taxes.
