orallc democrat." Mr. Dickson has
issued tho following statement:
"Jn my candidacy for tho nomina
tion for tho olllco of governor of
Illinois on tho democratic ticket, I
rospoctfully solicit the support of all
progressive democrats, and as I bo
llovo all are entitled to know exact
ly whoro f stand on each question
upon which action may bo expected
during tho term of the next gover
nor, I here submit my l.latform:
"I bollovo in that great fundamen
tal prinolplo of democracy, viz:
'Equal rights to all; special privi
leges to none.'
"I indorso in full tho last national
democratic platform.
"I favor tho initiative and the ref
erendum, and, under proper safe
guards, the recall of any elective offi
cial who is guilty of misconduct in
olllce.
"I favor abolishing tho minority
system of representation in the state
legislature, and, until this can bo
done, I favor tho nomination of at
least two democratic candidates as
representatives from each district.
"I beliovo that justice demands
that the question of equal suffrage
should, at tho first opportunity, bo
submitted to popular vote in tho
state.
"I favor such measures of tax re
form as will equitably distributo the
burdens of taxation on all the people
so that each shall pay his just share
and no more.
"I favor a constitutional amend
ment which will mako it possible to
submit amendments to two or more
articles of tho constitution at the
same general election.

prescribe a decent limit to the
amount of money that may ho spent
in tho interest of candidates for
office, abolish paid workers and
watchers at the polls, and, in
general, mako the improper use of
money in elections impossible.
"I favor the election of United
States senators by the people.
"I favor a shorter ballot and I also
favor tho placing of the names of
candidates for judges in a separate
column on tho ballot without any
party designation.
"I favor amendments to the pri
mary law providing for the placing
of the name of each candidate for a
given office at tho head of the list on QQV

same proportion applying to all can
didates. Also providing for printing
all tickets on one ballot so a voter
need not announce his party affilia
tion to the election judges before
receiving a ballot. Votes in more
than one column should render the
whole ballot void; thus improper
voting would be impossible and a
desirable element of secrecy pre
served. "I beliovo that railroad passes,
telegraph, telephone and express
franks and all special favors now so
commonly granted to public officials
ana otnors by public service corpora
tions, should bo outlawed and that
the violation of the law should be
made a felony.
"I believe in the enactment of a
fair employers' liability law as the
only effective means of safeguard
ing the life and limb of the employes
in tho factories, mines and work
shops of tho state; and I favor the
repeal of the workmen's compensa
tion act or an increase of indemni
ties provided in the act to a point
that will provide a decent existence
outside of tho county poor houses
for those poor unfortunate employes
who aro totally and permanently dis
abled while in tho discharge of duty.
"I believe the inmates of the state
penitentiaries should be employed in
road-making and such other employ
ment as will render their work
healthful and useful to the state
without bringing their labor into
compeuuon with honest labor.
"I believe that speedy action
should be taken to preserve for the
peoplo of Illinois the great water
power which has been already cre
ated by digging the sanitary canal
and that on no account should this
vast source of future revenue to the
suite oe auoweel to pass into private
hands.
"I believe that tho chartering of a
bank by the state should mean the
uuaoiuie saiety or money deposited
therein, and that suitable legislation
to guarantee such safety should be
enacted.
"I am opposed to 'government by
injunction," to injunctions against
acts which are already unlawful, and
I favor trial by jury in contempt
cases, except where the act com-

standard of living. I believe that
tho proud position of the United
States as the home of tho best naid
labor in the world, is due to the thor

leadership among American w!rk
men and no one can deny that or
ganized labor, in advancing 4ages to
the present standard, has done more
to create and maintain a proutable
home market for the produces Tf the
farm than all the high tariff laws
ever enacted. aws
