We, the representatives Of the
Democratic Party Of Jefferson coun-
t. In Convention assembled do here
by reaffirm our belief in the great
principles Of the party Of the COM
mon people. the party Of Jefferson,
Jackson and Woodrow Wilson, and
hereby pledge ourselves to work un-
ceasingiy for the ideals and prin-
ciples Of our great war President,
90 that Universal peace may pre-
vail in all the world and war shall
be unknown.
We condemn the Republican par
" for It's opposition to the League
Of Natioas resulting in he failure
Of the United States to become 2
member Of the League, thereby los
inG millions Of dollars Tor the farm
80 ef this country. and being
directly responsible for the starva
ton Of nilions Of people IN Europe.
We condemn The RepuGtean par.
tv fer ito payment Of milAens of

q ~ ni1llNns q psspls.
WS, % . party are unaltsrsbly -
posed 70 the unlimited use Of neae~
h election campaigns and b the
primarv elections: and We believ'
that ability and integrity should he
the first consideration In the selec
ton Of candidates Ter public office
and not mere possession Of wsafth
and IN this connection We denounc'
the Republican party for permittin'
such msn q NewSsrry Of Michigan
and Phipps In Colorado to purchase
seats In the Senate Of the Unite'
States.
We are in favor Of legislation that
will give to the ex-service men Just
compensation for their services, and
wc believe that this nation can
never fully repay the debt due our
soldiers for the sacrifices In our be
half. We are. therefore, In favor
Of adjusted compensation for all
who served in the army Of the late
war, who risked their health and life
for their country (for about one
dollar per day) while the slackers
and profiteer who remained at homo
and risked nothing received several
times this amount in daily wages.
We arc unalterably opposed to the
present tariff bill now befors Con
ersss and about to b passed by the
Republican party, - being the
browning infamy Of the present ad.
ministration and . plain robbery Of
the common people In the interest
Of predatory wealth. and q bald At
tempt 10 repay those interests who
subscribed to the Republican cam
paign fund IN tho last election. We
believe that the tariff is the "moth.
cr Of trusts" and that any tax on
imports should be levied on what
ere known - luxuries and that arti-
cles Of common use by all the peo-
pie should be admitted free.
We condemn tho present stat.
administration for maintaining the
state constsbulary, the building oi
crmoriss and the maintenance Of y
standing army in times OF peace.
We believe that tho sheritfs Of tn.
respective counties are fully CAP
ably Of maintaining order, tnat .,>
state constabuiary u useless ex'
tsavaGance aud shouid b. abolished.
We bsiisvs that the one. great h

the alarming increase Of our tsxes
In stats ana county under kcpuDii-
cen adninistrstion, We pledge Ou,

way to reduce TINS burden.
We arc IN favor Of the just an.
equal assessment Of the property oi
NE people Of Jefferson county with.
out regard TO their Political belief,
Tor the purposes Of taxation; and W.
pledge ourselves In the event Of the
Ulectian Of the democratic count,

lowering the valuation Of the pro-
tsrty Of political favoritss, ~ . re.
ward for political servics, will be =
thing Of the past.
We are In favor Of the strtctest
