By it, every voter has the right to

The 1919 Democratic platform
adopted by Kentucky Democracy in
session at Louisville on the evening
Of September 4th, follows;
"Section 1. We, the accredited
representatives of the Democratic
party in state convention assembled,
declare our continuing devotion to
the teachings Of democracy formu-
lated and endorsed by the best
thought of the past.
1--WE commend, without reserve,
the administration Of Woodrow Will
son. In the trying, terrible period
of the war his service to America,
to civilization, to humanity was of
inestimable value and equally so has
been his leadership in the work Of
adjusting the peoples and govern
ment Of the world to the new and
changed conditions.
with the keen vision Of the
statesman, the student, the thinker,
he has seen the needs of the future
and has builded not for the day or
year, but for the untold generations.
He has ever put human beings above
money, and justice and humanity
above the sordid things Of life; he
has ever kept in view that which
would result in the greatest good to
all. His diplomacy prior to our entry
into the war, his leadership during
the conflict and his craftsmanship in
the making of the terms of peace
have served to put the United States
in the forefront Of the nations of the
world as the unselfish savior of civ
ilization.
The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1919-09-09

"Section 8. The people Of our
state are demanding, and have the
right to demand, good roads, and
they are entitled to have them. Re-
ligion, education. commerce, farm
ing and every other industrial call
ing Of our people are suffering from
the lack of good roads. We pledge
hearty cooperation with the federal
government in building and maintain
ing good roads throughout the state,
and every dollar expended, there
fore, shall have its equivalent in
good roads betterment.

the principles for classification of
property for the purpose of taxation,
and we commit our party to care

Would Enact Labor Laws

"Section 6. Labor'-The Demo-
cratic party recognizes the dignity
and appreciates the value of the
man who earns his bread in the
sweat of his face The rapid indus
trial development of Kentucky en-
phasizes the necessity for careful
consideration of our labor laws. We
believe present laws are inadequate,
therefore, we favor such revisions
of the laws as will provide for:
l. The establishment Of a De-
partment of Labor.
2. We favor the submission and
adoption of an amendment to the
State Constitution providing for leg
islation creating Commission of
Labor.
8. A Strengthening of the Child

A. Safer working conditions, bet
ter sanitation, better housing condi-
tons, closer supervision of factory
and shop, and proper educational
facilities for all who toll.

world as the unselfish savior of civ
ilization.
Endorse League of Nations
"We unreservedly endorse the
:. League of Nations as the only prac-
teal and tangible force suggested
to maintain the peace Of the world,
to keep in check the sinister forces
of aggression and wrong, to render
autocratic governments and military
powers visions Of the past instead of
menaces for the future.
1--WE condemn in unmeasured
terms the course of the Republican
members of the Senate of the United
States who have put partisanship
above patriotism and politics above
the welfare of the world in their eff
forts to delay and defeat the ratifi-
cation of the Treaty of Peace; like
wise we denounce the action of those
Democratic senators who for reasons
of personal hostility to the President,
have banded with the Republican
leaders and have been recreant to
their obligations to their country, to
humanity, to civilization.
1--WE glory in the achievements of
our soldiers, sailors and marines and
the great host of patriotic, liberty
loving men and women who sustain
ed and strengthened them. Through
out the war they maintained to the
full the best traditions of our coun-
try and whenever and wherever our
flag floated above them on the fields
of battle they, by their heroism and
self sacrifice, made it an emblem
first of hope and then of victory.
Opposed to Bolshevism
"Section 2. We are for America
and American civilization ana we
pledge ourselves to maintain Ameri-
can institutions free Of the parasites
that menace civilization in Europe.
We are unalterably opposed to Boil
shevism. We declare America shall
be no fertile field for the seeds of
any ism whose object is the de-
struction of civilization and the up
roofing of Christianity.
Memorials For Dead Heroes
"Section 8. We favor the adop-
ton by the nation and state of suit
able provision to memorabilia the
dead to secure the comfort and well
fare of the disabled, and to provide
the means of giving suitable employ
ment to all soldiers, sailors and ma
rines in need thereof, and We rec
ommend that Kentucky's represen-
tatives in the Congress of the United
States support such legislation as
will provide suitable maintenance
for the dependents of those who
gave their lives in defense of liberty.

its further action in submitting to
the people Of Kentucky an amend
