Stronfc Set of Resolutions Is Adopted j
by the Convention-
Lincoln, Neb.. .Inly ','". Following
is the driu icratie platform in full:
Wo. the democrat-of Nat rasku. in
state convention assembled, vcalllrin
our faith in. and pledge our loyalty
to, the principles of our party as set
forth in the platform adopted by the
democratic convention of 100S.
We denounce lbu lepublicun taritV
bill a shameless consummation of the
fraud deliberately planned by the re
publican leaders when they promised
revision instead of reduction; and we
call attention to the fact , that it con
fesses the truth of all that tho demo
crats have charged as to the iniquities
of the high tnrlir system.
We call special attention to the fact
that one plank contained in both the
democratic state and national plat
forms for J 003, namely, the plank de
manding a constitutional amendment
specilically indorsing the income tax,
has since been accepted by a repub
lican piesident, senate anil house of
representatives, and that such amend
ment has been subiuitted'to the states
for ratification.
We pledge the rjeinocl at le paity lu
.Nebraska to assist in seeming uillll
cation of that amendment and to Hint,
onil wo ask (Jovcrnor ShulU nbi rgor to
call a special session of the lcgi-datuto
ut an early day, that Nebraska, a pio
neer in the advocacy of an income i
may have the honor of being the (list
state to ratify the amendment.
We particularly indole the proposl
tion that tlic United States seiiutoi
be elected by popular vote.
Present dav conditions in tho senate
oinnhasio the iiunorlanco of tills in
form.
Helleving that the people have a
right to have what they want in gov
ernment, we favor the submission at
tho next session of the legislature of a
constitutional amendment providing
for the initiative and referendum.
Reasserting our purpose to give the
peoplo of the state of Nebraska guar
anty of bank deposits law we call at
tention to the fact that the suspension
of that law by tho federal court em
phasizes the position taken by the
ilomoerutiu party of Nebraska in its
l!)ijs platform, when it favored the
enactment of such laws as may bo
necessary to cninpol corporations to
submit their legal disputes to the
courts of the states in which they do
business before taking tin appeal to
the United States courts.
Wo endorse the successful business
administration of n democratic gover
nor and commend the governor and a
democratic legislature foc the enact
ment of speclllo democrat lo platform
pledges into law.
Tho democrats of Nebraska, how
ever, deserve tho attention of all good
citizens to tho fact that the statu
election to bo hold this fall Is for the
purpose of choosing three judges o
f
tho supreme court and throo rogcuts
of tho unlvorsity. No other olllcesuro
Involved.
Tho democratic paity. through its
legislature and governor, sought to
lift these positions of great triut and
dignity out of the embroilment of par
tisan politics, to tube them out of the
hands of professional politicians, to

Through its state organization it ar
ranged surreptitiously insincere but
successful attack upon it.
We submit that this presents mi is
sue of great and far reaching impor
tance. We aie coming to be more and
more a people governed by our courts
The courts are tho bulwarks of our lib
erties as well as tho harbor to which
special privilege iloes in every storm,
and the instrumentalities through
which it asserts, with growing arrog
ance, its power to defy tho people's legi
slatures and the people's executives.
Tlierc never was a time when the
necessity for keeping com ts. invested
with or asserting extraoidlnary pow
ers, on a plan abouvo suspicion of re

than it does now.

that
the issue in this statu election

lay aside party prejudice and ties
Wc In'pe no democrat will voti for a
candidate for either of thcic ufllecs
merely because the candidate is a
democrat, and that no lopiiblicin will,
vote for such a candidate because lie is
a republican.
Wo urge each aud every voter of all
panics to vote for the man when ho
goes to a box this full, aud not for tho

Resolved, that wo urge the democra
tic members of congress, and those
fioin Nebraska especially, to uso their.
best efforts to secure as speedy a com
pletion as possible of the government
ditch project now but partly complet
ed in western Nebraska, abating those
settlers who luivo homesteaded lands
under said project that tho govern
ment will keep good faith with them,
and that right soon.
Making Government Good
Why is it that a man working for a
private employer can accomplish more
than eleven times as much in a day as
a man doing precisely similai work
for the city.' And why should work
done for the city cost fifteen times as
much as the same quantity of tho
same kind of work done for a private
employer?
Why should the city pay a clock re
pairer SI l.ii!! per hour for tinkering at
its clocks'. Why not save money by
throwing away a clook as soon as it
got out of order and buying a Iiewolle.,
Why Is it that tho city is obliged to
pay sixty cents each for common ward
robe hooks and llvo cents each for two
screws to put up each hook making
tho total cost of oacli hook seventy
cents, whoa tho plain citizen can go
into any hardware storo In the land
ami buy the sumo kind of hook with
the screws thrown in foi six cents.'
