party will ever defend and literally
support the cause OF universal educa-
tion, while constantly seeking ways
and means for the systematization of
the efforts OF its educators and the
securing of maximum results for the
money expended. 1t also supports the
self-evident proposition that educa-
tion is not sectional; that it should not
go by favor or be circumscribed by
accident of location. The cost of
maintaining the colrmon schools of
the state should be charge upon the
state. that every child, wherever resi-.

recognized the women OF America by
giving them representation in the
councils of the party, and it pledges
its candidates to enact and enforce
such laws as still further will make
family life secure and promote high,

Capital, Labor and the Man Between
The democrtic party represents no
class. 1t stands squarely for the equal
rights of high and low, rich and poor.
II favors the encouragement by all
proper means OF every legitimate busi
ness and enterprise, 1t is not opposed
tic wealth. except as wealth is gained
by conditions and tlrougn process
ses which create poverty, 1t is the
friend of honest capital the friend
of honest labor. Its achievements as
such are convincing. Through its
agency the most perfect system of
financial laws as yet conceived by
man was brought into existence while
its record of legislation in both ha-
tion and state, in recognition of the
rights of labor is ELOQUENT. 1t will
continue to be consistent and in the
process of dealing Justly with both
capital and labor will not be unmind
ful OF the rights Of the great mass of
plain people between. Its aim shall
be to encourage the avoidance OF
those clashes of interests which fall
with the greatest harm upon tire in
nocent bystander The business of
society is cooperation, not warfare
and entagonism, Successful bnsine25
either of finance, of commerce or
of production just politics are
not antagonistic, and the democratic
party will cooperate with all who
como with clean hands and pure
purpose into the common game of life.
The Rights Of Farmers
Much needs to be done for the farm.
er--for the basic industry Of agricul-
ture and to this Just and important
cause the democratic party dedicates
its services. It favors activity by the
state government in the bringing
about of improved coraitions of ag.
ricultural production financing, grad
ing and marketing, and in the making
of rural life more attractive and
healthful.

The Rights Of Farmers
Business

! The business OF a state is the in
dex of the prosperity of its people
The democratic party has ever been
the friend of legitimate business and
productive enterprise, One of the
tenets of democracy is to create a
free and open opportunity in al, lines
of business so that each individual
citizen may succeed in proportion to
his worth or eudeavor. Monopolies,
paternalistic protection, whether CIV

Of organized capital, combinations in
restraint of trade and unfair compe-
tition produce results that make inn
possible the appication of democratic
principles to business enterprise, 1t
is the function of the democratic
party to maintain among it's citizens
free open competitive market for
the products produced and for the
commodities consumed The applica-
ton of the fundamental principles Of
democracy should be applied to all
