The Arvada enterprise. (Arvada, Colo.) 1908-1970, 1920-08-12

| CONTINUED from LIST paSe)
We do not hesitate to assert that
the dillatory and unbusinesslike meth
dds CT Senator Lodge and his boss
ridden Senate are indisputably to
blame for the major part of these
disrupting conditions and we further
charge that the failure of this click
of political paritsans to ratify the
peace treaty and the League Of ma
lions has done more than any other
agency to stay the hand of progress
in putting our nations affairs back
upon a Stabilized and sound peace
basis.
We indorse the platform adopted
by the State Democratic Assembly
on all matters which affect the con-
ditions of the farmer, the laboring
man and the citizen, vouch-safing TO
them the blessings of life, liberty and
the pursuit of happiness.
We sympathize with the farmers
in the lack of open and competitive
markets for their produce and the
loss and inconvenience sustained thru
lack Of transportation, and pledge
efforts to enact such legislation as
will secure adequate and permanent
relief from these conditions. In this
connection we favor liberal policy
Of road construction and improve
Ment.
We pledge our support to the
adoption of such methods dealing
with labor as will provide it with am
pie compensation for work perform
ed, reasonable hours of service and
considerate and fair treatment on
all questions concerning the health
and comfort of those who toll. We
declare for equal rights for cap!sol
and labor before the law, and Tor
the principle that the laborer is en-
titled to living wage: and by that
we do not mean to be limited in this
definition, or in its practice, to n
wage sufficient merely to meet the
actual expense of living. 1t ought to
include such sum in addition to
this as will enable the American lab
orers to live and support and educate
their families under conditions and in
circumstances commensurate with the
dignity and ambition of patriotic
American citizens.
We believe that the spirit of Dem
ocracy is all-sufficient to eradicate
the evils existing within the state
nation that are causing hardsl,ips
among the people in the common
walks of life and therefore, be it
Resolved, that we are adverse to
adopting Mt this time ultra radical
measures which are untried and un-
proven, but rather to take such
measures under advisement and hide
their adoption until the communities
and states which have already adop-
ted them have proved them to be
beneficial to the peoples as whole.
We maintain that it is the inalien-
able right of every voter in this as
sembly to inquire upon what plat
form candidate will stand if elected
and therefore be it further.
Resolved that it is the will of THE
assembly that its regularly designa-
ted nominees shall be only those who
are known to be in full sympathy
with the principles of true Democ-
racy, and also who may be depended
upon not only to do everything in his
or her power for individual success
at the polls. but that Of the entire
Democratic ticket.
We indorse the acts of the Demo
cratic commissioners Of Jefferson
county and commend them for con-
Quoting the affairs Of the county SO
as to pay off and discharge MI in
debtedncss against the county, lea
wing n balance in the treasury.
We further especially commend
said board for their acts in the con-
troversy with the state highway
commission, converting the prop
osition for road building in this
county and commend them for stand
ing against the public clamor, which
sought to impost an unjust tax up
| on the county, and most heartily
approve their action of securing the
sum Of $4,000 to be applied on
the building of public roads in this
county. by the state highway COM
mission and the United States gov
eminent: and also for securing from
the City Of Denver tho sum Of $50
$4,000 to be paid upon the portion
formerly assessed TO jefferson
county; and thru their wisdom and
