thus permitting the governor to pass
Judgment upon the amounts requested
and to determine whether or not the
number Of employees may be reduced, and
the governor then to recommend to the
legislature the necessary amounts of
money to be appropriated for the states
requirements.
"The system must provide that the
legislature can not increase the appro-
priation requested by the governor. They
can decrease the amounts if, on investi-
CATION, they find the appropriation asked
for to be too high.
1.-THE farmer the miner, the mechanic
In fact, all men and women who work
with their heads are the great factors
in the creation OF our nations wealth
and the production of the necessities
of life, and there must be legislative
consideration giving to these groups all
the encouragement possible.
"The farmer and the workingman
have always responded to every call
made upon them by our government
and have met every requirement that
could be accomplished by human hands.
We must place the man above the dol
lar and insist that, in dealing with hu-
Inanity, every man must set aside his
own selfish interests and stand for the
greatest good to the greatest number
| Our nations prosperity depends on ev-
cry man having his fair share of that
which he helps to produce, and the
farmer, in the operation of his farm,
does not hesitate to till his soil an0
plant his crops, regardless of what may
he the clims tic conditions or the de-
structive elements His faith in success
is what provides for the American peo-
pie, and for n large part Of the world
the necessaries of life He must have
all the protection that our state can give
him. We must provide such laws, for
the protection and encouragement of the
farmer, as to reduce his burdens Of
taxation.
"The state of Indiana has certainly
| been greatly benefited by the enactment
of both state and national prohibition
laws. There are less people in the peni-
Tertiary, warehouses are closed, tails are
empty, women and children are better
clothed and better fed, homes are hap
pier, men are more contSnted and more
| prosperous, and certainly with such an
| improved condition men will not insist
/ on a backward step on the temperance
| question.
1T is to be hoped, within very Short
time, that women will be full citizens Of

/ bearer Of the child and from the child
comes the strong men and women, who
are not only nation builders, but nation
/ defenders.
RECOGNITION OF WOMEN
IN PARTY AND SCHOOLS.
woman plays an important part II
the nations welfare. Ninety per cent Of
| our teachers in the common schools and
/ high schools are women. The educa
/ tlonal development and preparation Of
1 the child is largely in the hands OF
women, until the child passes from higt
/ school to college, and this brings US tC
a very important question, viz: The
/ consideration and remuneration that We
/ are giving to our teachers.
81 believe the minimum and maximum
wage for teachers should be greatly In
creased and the requirements for service
| from the teachers should be increased
/ Morals and citizenship must be a par
/ OF our common school foundation. There
/ must be aroused in the heart OF every
/ boy and girl a moral conscience.
Bancroft, the great historian, pays
/ high tribute TO the common people. when
| that the voice OF the people is the voice
OF God, but It IS proper to say that tbs
universal conscience is the nearest ap.
proach on earth TO the voice Of God.
1t must be the duty and the pleasure
Of the American school teacher to awaken
In the younger generation a universal
conscience.
Il trust the democratic party Of
Indiana will accept the women into
the party's councils and In the admin
istrauon OF state affairs, through the
political offices, on a ffty-hfty basis.
The democratic party will certainly
appreciate the moral conscience OF womer
and viii be wonderfully benefited on &C
count OF her active interests in party
affairs.
