CONSERVATION

We pledge recovery of the navy's oil
reserves, and all other parts of the public
domain which have been fraudulently or
Illegally leased or otherwise wrongfuliy
transferred to the control of private In
terests; vigorous prosecution of all public
officials, private citizens and corporations
that participated in these transactions;
revision of the water-power act, the gen.
eral leasing act, and all other legislation
relating to the public domain that may
be essential to it's conservation and honest
and efficient use on behalf of the people
of the country.
We believe that the nation should retain
title tJ its water power and we favor the
expeditions creation and development of
our water power. We favor strict public
control and conservation of all the ma
tion's natural resources, such as coal,
iron, oil and timber, and their use in such
manner as may be to the best interest of
our citizens.
The conservation of migratory birds,
the establishment of game preserves,
and the protection and conservation of
wild life is of Importance to agricul-
turists as well as sportsmen.
Our disappearing natural resources of
timber calls for national policy of re-

American flag shipping policy. There has
been marked decrease in the volume of
American commerce carried In American
vessels as compared to the record under
Democratic administration.
We oppose as Illogical and unsound all
efforts to overcome by subsidy the handi-
cap to American shipping and commerce
imposed by Republican policies.
We condemn the practice of certain
American railroads in favoring foreign
ships, and pledge ourselves to correct such
determinations. We declare for an Amer
ican-owned merchant marine. American
built and manned by American crews,
which is essential for naval security in
war, and is a protection to the American
farmer and manufacturer against excess
sive ocean freight charges on products of
farm and factory.
We declare that the government should
own and operate such merchant ships as
VIII insure the accomplishment of these
purposes and to continue such operation
SO long as it may be necessary without
obstructing the development and growth

MUSCLE SHOALS


We reaffirm and pledge the fulnu-
ment of the policy with reference to
Muscle Shoals. as declared and passed
by the Democratic majority of the Six
ty-fourth congress in the national de-
Tense act of 1915, "for the production of
nftrates or other products needed for
munitions of war and useful in the
manufacture of Fertilizers
We hold that the production of
cheaper and high-grade fertilizers is
essential to agricultural prosperity We
demand prompt action by congress for
the operation of the Muscle Shoals
plants to maximum capacity in the pro-
duction. distribution and sale of COM
mercial fertilizers to the farmers of
the country. and we oppose any legis-
lation that limits the production OF
fertilizers at Muscle Shoals by limiting
the amount of power to be used in their
manufactures.
The Nezperce herald. (Nezperce, Idaho) 1900-1957, 1924-07-10
CIVIL SERVICE

We denounce the action of the Repub-
lican administration in it's violations of
the principles of civil service by its par
tisan removals and manipulation of the
eligible lists in the Post Office depart
ment and other governmental depart
ments; by its packing the civil service
commission so that that commission be-
came the servile instrument of the adj
ministration in its wish to deny to the
ex-seryice men their preferential rights
under the law and the evasion of the
requirements of the law. with reference
to appointments in the department
We pledge the Democratic party faith
fully to comply with the spirit as well as
the regulation of civil service; to extend
its provisions to internal revenue officers
and to other employees of the govern
ment not in executive positions. and to Sc
cure to ex-service men preference In such
appointments.
We declare in favor of adequate salaries
to provide decent living conditions for
postal employees.
The Nezperce herald. (Nezperce, Idaho) 1900-1957, 1924-07-10
CREDIT AND CURRENCY


We denounce the recent cruel and unjust
contraction Of legitimate and necessary
credit and currency. which was directly
due to the so-callod defiation policy of
the Republican party as declared in its
national platform of June, 1920. and In the
speech Of acceptance of its candidacy for
the Presidency.
Within eighteen months after the cleo
ton of 1920 this policy resulted in with
drawing bank loans and discounts by over
five billions of dollars and in contracting
our currency by over fifteen hundred mil
lions of dollars.
This contraction bankrupted hundreds
of thousands of farmers and stock grow
ers in America and resulted in widespread
Industrial depression and unemployment.
We demand that the federal reserve sys-
tenn be SO administered as to give stability
to industry. commerce and finance, as was
intended by the Democratic party, which
gave the federal reserve system to the
nation.

ACTIVITY OF WOMEN

We welcome the women of the nation
to their rightful place by the side of men
in the control of the government whose
burdens they have always shared.
The Democratic party congratulates
them upon the essential part which
they have taken in the progress of our
country and the zeal with which they
are using their political power to aid
the enactment of beneficient laws and
the exaction of fidelity in the public
service.
We favor generous appropriations,
honest management and sympathetic
care and assistance in the hospitaliza-
ton, rehabilitation and compensation
of the veterans of all wars and their
dependents. The humanizing of the
veterans bureau is imperatively re-
quired.

CAMPAIGN FUNDS

The nation now knows that the pred
atory interests have, by supplying Repub-
lican campaign funds, systematically
purchased legislative favors and admin
istrative Immunity The practice must
stop: our nation must return to honesty
and decency in politics.
Elections are public affairs conducted
for the sole purpose Of ascertaining the
will of the sovereign voters. Therefore
we demand that national elections shall
hereafter be kept free from the poison of
excessive private contributions. To this
end we favor reasonable means of pub
licity, at public expense, so that candi-
dates, properly before the people for fed
eral offices, may present their claims at
minimum of cost.
Such publicity should precede the
primary and the election. We favor
the prohibition, of Individual contribu-
lions, direct and indirect, to the cam
paign funds of congressman senators

RAILROADS

The sponsors for the Esch-Cummins
transportation act of 1920, at the time
of its presentation to congress- stated
that 1t had for It's purposes the reduc-
ton of the cost of transportation, the
Improvement of service, the lettering
of labor conditions, the promotion of
peaceful cooperation between employer
and employee, and at the same time
the assurance of a fair and just return
to the railroads upon their investment
We are in accord with these an
nounced purposes, but contend that the
act has failed to accomplish them. 1t
has failed to reduce the cost of trans
portation. The promised Improvement
In service has not been realized. The
labor provisions of the act have proven
unsatisfactory In settling differences
between employer and employees.
The so-called recapture clause has
worked out to the advantage of the
strong and has been of no benefit to
the weak. The pronouncement in the
act for the development of both rail-
and water transportation has proven
futile. Water transportation on our
inland waterways has not been encour-
aged, and limitation of our coastwise
trade is Threatened by the administra-
ton of the act.
1t has unnecessarily interfered with
the power of the states to regulate
purely intrastate transportation. 1t
must, therefore. be SO rewritten that
the high purposes which the public
welfare demands may be accomplished.
Railroad freight rates should be so
readjusted as to give the bulky basic
lew-priced raw commodities, such as
agricultural products, coal and ores,
the lowest rates. placing the higher
rates upon more valuable and less
bulky manufactured products.

IMPROVED HIGHWAYS

Improved roads are of vital Importance
not only to commerce and industry but
also to agriculture and national life. We
call attention to the record of the Demo-
cratic party in this matter and favor con-
tinuance of federal aid under existing fed
eral and state agencies.
Mining is one of the basic industries
of this country. We produce more coal,
iron, copper and silver than any other
country. The value of our mineral
productions is second only to agrlcul-
ture. Mining has suffered like agricul-
ture and from the same causes. 1t Is
the duty of our government to foster
this industry and to remove the restrlc-
lions that destroy its prosperity.
We pledge the Democratic party to reg
ulate by governmental agencies the an
thracite coal industry and all other cor
where public welfare has been subordi-
porations controlling the necessaries OF life
mated to private interests.

STATE RIGHTS

We demand that the states of the union
shall be preserved in all their vigor and
power. They constitute bulwark against
the centralizing and destructive tenden-
cies of the Republican party.
We condemn the efforts of the Repub-
iican party to nationalize the functions
and duties of the states.
We oppose the extension of Bureaucracy,
the creation of unnecessary bureaus and
federal agencies. and the multiplication
of offices and office holders.

POPULAR ELECTIONS

We pledge the Democratic party to a
policy which will prevent members of ell
Their house who fail of reelection from
participating in the subsequent sessions of
congress. This can be accomplished by
fixing the days for converting the con-
gress Immediately after the biennial ma
tional election; and to this end we favor

several states to vote on proposed consti-
tutional amendments on this subject.

To offset these policies and their dis

AGRICULTURE

During the four years of Republican
government the economic condition of
fhe American farmer has changed from
comfort to bankruptcy. with all its
attendant miseries. The chief causes
of this are:
(a) The Republican party policy of
isolation in international affairs has
prevented Europe from getting back
"a its normal balance. and, by leaving
unsolved the economic problems abroad
has driven the European city population
from industrial activities to the soil
IN large numbers in order to earn the
mere necessaries of life. This has de-
nrIyed the American farmer of his nor
NAL export trade.
(b) The Republican policy of a pro-
bIbitive tariff. exempliaed in the Ford
-McCumber law. which has forced
the American farmer. with his export
market debilitated. to buy manufactured
goods at sustained high domestic lev
els. thereby making him the victim of
the profiteer.
(c) The Republican policy of high
transportation rates. both rail and wa
Ter. which has made 1t impossible for
the farmer to ship his produce to mar
ket at even a living profit.

LOOK OUT FOR
 SELF-P0ISONING

Neglect of the liver results in self poisoning! Not as quickly. perhaps, but just as surely as if you drank poi- son out of bottle. If your liver is not doing its work of helping digestion, eliminating waste from the bowels and purifying the blood, you will always be troubled with sick headaches, nau- sea, biliousness, gas, sour stomach, or constipation.
 Cleanse and tone your liver! Put your system in condition so you feel your very best again. Try just a spoonful of Dr. II. s. Thacher's excel tent Liver & Blood Syrup after the next few meals, and notice the quick improvement in the way you eat, sleep, look and feel-the return of strength, vigor and energy. You will be com pletely satisfied; otherwise there will be no cost. Dr. Thaeher's Liver X Blood Syrup is sold and recommended by Edward H. Burt, Druggist, Put nam.

 For a second time in the past few months. John F. Carpenter has ten dered his resignation as prosecuting attorney of the City of Putnam. The first time. the mayor and common council prevailed upon Mir. Carpenter to reconsider his decision and to con tinue on in office
 In his letter of resignation. which is addressed to the mayor and com mon council, Mir.
