entrusted to Democratic hands
under the matchless leadership
of President Woodrow Wilson.

the voters of the State to the
fact that the Democrats in con-
vention assembled in 1915 prom
lsed the people of this State to

ed. Among the promises of re-
form was the enactment of such
legislation as would procure the
efficient enforcement of the
Temperance Law; an advanced
system of road building; legisla-

forms. OF the seventeen def
mite declarations made in that
platform looking to the advance
ment and well being of the Com

such recommendation and prom
Use enacted into law. so that to-
day the State of Kentucky stands
IN the forefront among the sis
terhood of states in her modern
and efficient legislation effecting
the well being Of her people;
and we declare that the Demo-
cratic Party of the State may be
trusted by the voters to carry
forward the good work thus be-
gun, and further safeguard and
uphold the cherished traditions
and the high ideals of a true
democracy.
FOURTH: To the assembly of
Democrats which is to convene
in the city of Louisville and de-
clare the polices of the party in
the State campaign we entrust
the declaration Of principles up
on which We shall appeal to the

wealth at the coming November
