Republican party.
The resolutions were a. follows.
The Republican party OF the state
of Vermont, through its representa-.
tives assembled in convention, again
declares its allegiance TO the funda
mental principles of democracy, that
all men are created equal and are
equally entitled to the orderly pursuit
of peace, happiness and prosperity. The
rights guaranteed the people by the
constitution OF the United States ought
not to be denied nor subverted either
by great combinations Of capital or
BY great combinations of labor, or by
the autocratic. or bureaucratic. exercise
of governmental functions.
We believe that capital, under wise
and sane regulations. should be given
free initiative in the development Of
industries and natural resources. and
that labor should be paid a fair and
just compensation for its performance
in the processes of production, based
upon its economic value, and given
safe and livable working conditions
worthy Of American freemen.
We favor legislation that will re-
quire the children and youth Of the
nation TO be thoroughly instructed, at
public expense, in the rudiments Of a
sound education. including the civiS Of
a free government; and urge liberal sp-
preparations by state and municipality
to the end that a secondary and col
legiate education may be within the
reach Of any boy or girl in the land
who j. willing TO exercise reasonable
self denial And we demand that the
instruction given in our public and
private schools and colleges shall be Of
a character TO engrsft upon the minds
of our descendants that the cardinal
principles of life wor.h hy 10 be lived
in a free country are fidelity to duty.

We believe that the stability Of a
free government rests in a large meas

population; and we urge an intelli-

red-tape tendencies promote a
more inviting environment in rural life
