REPEAL OF 18TH IS
DEMOCRATIC PLANK
Continued from First Page)

The first is decentralization, that is
the shifting of government except
for the fundamentally essential
functions, from Washington to the
several states, and from the state
government to the local communi-
ties and with gradual cessation of
unWarranted governmental activities
and infringement OF personal liberty.
Freedom is being stitled by an ever
increasing and dominating bureau
crazy. Fewer laws, lower taxes and
decrease in the cost of living will re-
suit from the restoration Of free
dom.
The democratic party OF Connecti-
cut believes that this is the right
course to pursue, that it is in ac-
cordance with its original principle,
demonstrated again to be profoundly
true and to this end it pledges it
self, and its candidates for public
office, national and state.
Repeal of Prohibition.
The second issue is prohibition.
The 18th amendment, while legally
incorporated in the federal constitu-
ton, has no place in the framework
of our government. 1t is an indie
fencible curtailment OF personal lib
erty. We believe that it should be
repealed and We pledge ourselves
and our candidates for public office
TO INCREASINGLY labor to this end. In
taking this unequiyocal stand, We do
not countenance non-enforcement.
While prohibition is the law, 1t is
the duty of government to enforce
it. Respect for law is liberty. We
oppose the return of the saloon.
Changes In State
In our own state, we pledge our
party, if elected, to work for three
definite changes in the immediate
future: jury service for women
better conditions OF employment and
shorter hours Of employment. and a
thorough executive investigation of
the tax system of the state with
reference to the distribution of the
tax burdens to the end that greater
equality may be effected. But we
De1CNe IQdL Ill COlllltClItuL lllt pic
dominant issue facing the people is
free government. Today the people
of this state are ruled, not by
themselves. and for themselves, but
by and for the benefit of visible
machine. We believe that this de-
tail should be returned to its citi-
zcns.
In this connection We condemn
the hypocritical md contradictory
attitude of the spokesman of the re-
publican party in this state who
while assaiing the interference OF
the national government with state
rights utter no protest against their
own general assemby's continuance
and growing suppression of nome
rule in our cities and towns.
We are proud to announce our
creed to the people of this state IN
no uncertain terms so that those
who run may read. We appeal TO
all patriotic citizens who love Their
country first to reaffirm the faith of
our forefathers. In this campaign
and in the future let our watchword
be The Constitution" and let our
battle cry be Liberty"
