delivery, the regulation of public utili- ] ties and other service which may be necessary to make country life more ! attractive and prevent the abandon ment of our farms. Increased produc- 1 tion of the necessities of life must be ! encouraged in every possible way With i the world crying for food our farmers should certainly realize a profitable re- turn on Sheir investment of money anc l labor. Profiteering speculators should be eliminated to the benefit of both l producers and consumers.
 Arid Lands
 The high cost of food products due in part no doubt, to limited supply, makes it important that all lands subject to 1 cultivation be so utilized. Therefore We favor appropriations for the comple tion of all government irrigation sys- 1 tens now projected or which are under l construction, and for further surveys to ascertain what additional public lands are subject to reclamation by ir- rigation.
 Conservation
 ! We pledge the enactment of laws to prevent waste and to provide for a wise development of our natural re- sources under the control of govern mental authority, that neither the pres ent nor future generations may be de- priVed of what is justly theirs.
 Capital and Labor We recognize in labor and capital the i two great forces which create the sum l total of our material wealth. Any ser ! ious disarrangement of the relations i between these two Is felt in a greater or 1 less degree by all the people. Many complex and difficult adjustments are yet to be made to bring about a peace 1 able and equitable relation between the ] two. No one can deny that labor is en- titled to, not only the necessities of 1 life, but also to its comforts. IL fur nishes an indispensable element of na- l tional prosperity and is entitled to and should receive just share of it's emo! uments. Capital on the other hand cannot be put to use and business eX- tended unless it can be assured of fair and safe return from it's invest ment. We believe that means should | be found to peaceabiy settle all differ ences which may arise between capital and labor in order that needless suffer ing and loss by the general public as well as by the parties at Issue may be averted.
 Labor Laws
 We pledge the republican party tO a faithful execution of existing labor laws. and especially those relating to child labor We favor laws to prevent i prison labor and the pauper labor of foreign countries from coming in com petition with our free workmen We favor the enactment of comprehensive workmeH's compensation laws. and th regulation of industries to conserve tho health and lives of the employees
 Education
 The most potent ally of vice is ig norance. Anarchy ard disorder find u1 favor with an educated and intelligent citizenship. Our schools and edu-a tional institutions are our most val uable asset and merit every possible encouragement from the state and na tional governments They are the Onir ! iustrumentaiity which can thoroughly AmeriCanize our large foreign popu3a- ton. Nothing must be permitted to i'm pair their efficiency. The highly trained and capable men and womeu who form the teaching force Of our educational institutions are in many 1 cases receiving salaries In no way com mensurate with their needs, and tue importance of their work. Therefore we favor legislation for their relief. and the addition to the Presidents cabinet Of q secretary of education.
 Woman's Suffrage
 We congratulate the women Of the United States upon attaining their fun rights as citizens by the addition of the suffrage which has been consistently favored by the Republican party for many years. and we invite and welcome them to a fuH exercise of their powers in governmental affairs.
 Our Outside Possessions
 We favor the greatest possible cN- z pie of'our island possessions compat- ible with their best interests
 National Highway
 We favor government aid in the con struction Of a transcontinentaI pavcI highway.
 Domestic Reconstruction
 We realize that the greatest problems with which we have to deal are those perta ming to domestic instruction. and the republican party pledges the utmost energy and ability of it's chosen representatives in the solution of these problems in manner to result in the greatest possible good to all the people
 National Debt and Economy
 The present democratic administr1- ton has been the most eXtravagant and wasteful fin the history of our govern ment- The great war made necessary the eXpending of immense sums but the aggregate amount would have been much less but for the incompetent and profligate manner in which much Of i- was applied We are now burdened with an immense national debt which we must pay. The time is at hand when common sense demands that we establish q simple businesslike budget system for the administration Of our national finance. Our revenue laws should be so framed as 10 put the least possible burden upon the masses of the people and still raise sufficient sum 10 pay our national obligations as the. mature, that 1t may not be necessary to refund and thus make the national debt a perpetual burden upon Us and our posterity.
 Conclusion
 Upon these principles we appeal with confidence to the people Of the United States, believing in the justice and wis dom of the policies herein set forth and pledgiug a faithful performance of every promise. It is high time that tho reins of government were wrested from aUtocratic control and taken over by the peoples chosen representatives, "that government of the people, for tho people. and uy the people, may be re- stored.
