hatred and intolerance from our edu-
cational system, and we call upon our
state university to lead the way By
instilIing in the minds of the boys and
-sp g uo9n9psuI 1gql OF pu5s ga sIII5
sire to build up patriotic country
loving people, by taking the control
of government fro mthe hands of the
greedy and placing it in the hands of
the people; by creating desire for
service instead of a desire to become
parasites upon humanity; a desire to
see human race governed by peace
and brotherly love instead of blood
thirsty military system, such as has
broken the backs of every country in
Europe and left a bankrupt world; a
desire to leave the world little bet-
ter than they found it.
We are opposed to the substituting
of ships or any other business institu-
ton, and we favor a tariff that recog-
nizes the difference in the cost of pro-
duction at home and abroad, and COM
mensurate with our standards of liv-
ing, but we are opposed to the tariff
bill now before congress which pro-
kO0N1
prohteering of the last few years.
We are opposed to the Pittsburg
Rus system, which places the steel
mills of Wisconsin, the farmers and
others using steel machinery at the
mercy of eastern manufacturers.
One of the chief causes for the de-
cline in farm products is their fradu-
lent imitation by big business. The
butter we eat, the leather in our shoes,
the -four in our bread, the milk we
produce, the wool we wear, are all
initiated; in fact all of our produce
is becoming more the subject of imi-
tation, and we pledge our earnest eff
forts to such a legislative policy as
win eliminate these frauds upon the
people.
We favor the StLawrence Deep
Water Way to the ocean as a means
of securing cheaper transportation for
the export products Of the middle west,
and as a further means of breaking
the financial grip of Wall Street upon
the country, and of building up our
Wisconsin cities as nearby markets for
ur products.
We demand a restoration of our con-
stitutional rights of freedom of speech,
freedom of press and the rights of the
people to peaceably assemble and to
petition to redress of grievances and
demand the right to be secure in our
persons, homes, papers and effects,
against unreasonable searches and
seizures, and we pledge ourselves to
those candidates for office who shall be
in full accord with all these principles.
We unqualifedly approve of the
great record cur illustrious senior
Senator Robert NJ LaFollette is MAX
ing in the United States Senate and we
pledge him our undivided and loyal
support in his great work and in his
present campaign for reelection.
We heartily approve of the record
of Congressman J. d. Beck in the
House of Representatives in the fight
he has and is making for the agricuf-
tural sections of the country, and for
his answering purpose in fighting
corrupt business practices which are
impoverishing the people. We do with
out reservation pledge him our loyal
support for reelection to Congress.
We are in hearty accord with the
great fight our Governor John j.
Blaine is making to wrest control of
government from the hands of the few
and place it in the hands Of the many.
We are in accord with his determin-
alton to place the burdens of taxation
upon those who are best able to bear
it, and we unreseryedly approve of his
calling the last special session of the
Legislature, the direct result Of which
has enabled him to collect and place
in the treasury of the state, in this
short time a million and a quarter
dollars from wealthy tax dodgers, and
that at nominal cost of $6700.00.
We also pledge our earnest support
to the candidacy of Herman L. Ekern
for Attorney General, Fred r. Zim-
norman for Secretary of State, George
F. Commings for Lieutenant Governor
and Sol Levitan for State Treasurer
We further endorse and pledge to
the candidate of this conference our
united and loyal support for Member
of the Assembly from Vernon County.
