able alike to them and to the people in whose name he speaks.
Merchant Marine.
Immediate provision should be made for the development of the carrying trade of the United States. Our foreign commerce has in the ast been subject to' many unnecessary and vexatious obstacles in the way of legislation by republican congresses. Until the. recent democratic ariff legislation it was hampered by unreasonable burdens of taxation. Until the recent banking legislation it had at its disposal few of the necessary instrumentalities of international credit and exchange. Until the formulation of the pending act to promote the construction of a merchant marine, it lacked even the prospect of adequate carriage by sea. We heartily endorse thef purposes and policy of pending shipping bill and favor all such additional measures of constructive or remedial legislation as may be necessary to restore our flag to the seas and to provide further facilities for our foreign commerce, particularly such laws as may be made to remove unfair conditions of competition in the dealings of American merchants and producers with competitors in foreign markets.
Conservation.
For the safeguarding and quickening of the life of our own people, we favor the conservation and development of the natural resources of the country through a policy which shall be positive rather than negative—a policy which shall not withhold such resources from development, but shall prevent both waste and monopoly in their exploitation, and we earnestly favor the passage of acts which will accomplish these objects, and we reaffirm the declaration of the platform of 1912 on this subject
The policy of reclaiming our own arid lands should be steadily adhered to.'
Administration and Farmer. We favor the vigorous prosecution of investigations and plans to render agriculture more profitable and country life more healthful, comfortable and attractive. In the federal reserve act and the rural "credits act of the present congress, the machinery has been created which will make credit available to the farmer constantly and readily, and he has at last been pat upon a footing of equality with the merchant and the manufacturer in securing the capital necessary to carry on his enterprises. We favor continued liberal provision, not only for the benefit of production but also for the study and solution of problems of farm marketing and finance and for the ex-

We favor the creation of a federal bureau of safety in the department of labor, and the extension of the powers and functions of the federal bureau of mines.
We favor the development upon a systematic scale of the means already begun under the present administration to assist laborers throughout the nation to seek and obtain employment, and the extension by the federal government by the same assistance, and encouragement as is now given to agriculture training.
Protection of Citizens.
We again declare the policy that the sacred rights of American citizenship must be preserved at home and abroad, and that no treaty with any other government shall receive the sanction of our government which does not expressly recognize the absolute quality of all our citizens, irrespective of race, creed or previous nationality, and which does not recognize the right of expatriation. The American government should protect American citizens in their rights not only at home but abroad, and any country having a government should be held to a strict accountability for any wrongs done them, either to person or property. At the earliest practical opportunity our country should strive earnestly for peace among the warring nations of Europe and seek tc^ bring about the adoption of the fundamental principle of justice and humanity, that all men shall enjoy equality of right and freedom from discrimination in the land wherein they dwell.
Prison Reform.
We demand that the modern principles of prison reform be applied in our federal penal system.
Pensions.
We repeat the declarations of recent democratic platforms relating to generous pensions for soldiers and their widows and call attention to our record of performance in this particular.
Water Ways and Flood Control. We renew'the declaration in our last two platforms relating to the development of our waterways. We favor the adoption of a liberal and comprehensive plan for the development and improvement of our harbors and inland water ways with economy and efficiency, so as to permit their navigation by vessels of standard draft.

strength of the men, women and children of the nation are its greatest asset, and that in the conservation of these the federal government, whereever it acts as the employer of labor, should both on its own account and as an example put into effect the following principles of just employment:
A living wage for all employes a working day not to exceed eight hours, with one day of rest in seven the adoption of safety appliances and the establishment of sanitary conditions of labor adequate compensation for industrial accidents the standards of the ".uniform child labor law" wherever minors are employed suoh provisions for decency, comfort and health in the employment of women as should be accorded the mothers of the race an equitable retirement law providing for the retirement of superannuated and disabled employes of the civil service.
Labor.
We declare our faith in the seamen's act, passed by the democratic congress and we promise our earnest continuance of its enforcement.
We favor the speedy enactment of an effective federal child labor law and the regulation of the shipment of prison-made goods in interstate commerce.

ment of Alaska and its great natural resources. Public Health.
We favor a thorough recdnsideration of the means and methods by which the federal government handles questions of public health to the end that human life may be conserved by the elimination of loathsome diseases, the improvement of sanitation and the diffusion of a knowledge of disease prevention.
We favor the establishment by the federal government of tuberculosis sanitariums for needy tubercular patients.
Economy and the Budget. We demand careful economy in all expenditures for the support of the government and to that end favor a return by the house of representatives to its former practice of initiating and preparing all appropriation bills through a single committee chosen from its membership, In order that responsibility may be centered, expenditures standardized and made uniform, and waste and duplication in the public service as much as possible avoided. We favor this as a practicable first step towards a budget system.
Civil Service.
We reaffirm our declarations for the rigid enforcement of the civil service laws.

Philippine Islands.
We heartily endorse the provisions of the bill, recently passed by the house of representatives to further promote self government in the Philippines as being in fullfilment of the policy declared by the democratic party in its last national platforip, and we reiterate our endorsement of the purpose of ultimate independence for the Philippine islands, expressed in the preamble of that measure.
Woman Suffrage.
We recommend the extension of the franchise to the women of the country by the states upon the same terms as to men.
Territories.
We favor granting to the people of Alaska, Hawaii and Porto Rico the traditional territorial government accorded to all territories of the United States since the beginning of our government and we believe thq officials appointed to adminster the government of those several territories should be qualified by previous bonanae residence.
Candidates.
We unreservedly endorse our pres-' ident and vice president, Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey, and Thomas Riley Marshall, of Indiana, who have performed the functions of their
