Following is the declaration of principles adopted by the Republican , convention : The Republican party of Utah, ln state convention assembled, indorses the national platform adopted at the Chicago convention and the nominations nomina-tions made by that convention of Charles E. Hughes of New York for president and Charles V. Fairbanks of Indiana for vice-president, and in addition to the national platform, declares de-clares as follows: We commend the administration of Governor William Spry for the wise expenditure of public funds in building build-ing our magnificent state capitol, and for the splendid roads being constructed con-structed throughout our state, and we fledge our incoming governor and legislature to wisely, economically and energetically continue the ood work, to the end that ultimately every county and hamlet In our state shall be connected by good roads with every other part of the state. We are proud of the record made by Utah's Republican representatives at the national capital. The labors of Senator Sutherland and Smoot in the senate, and of Congressman Joseph Howell in tlie house, have given to Utah power, prestige and recognition ln national affairs second to no state in our country. The service of Senator Sen-ator Sutherland in behalf of laboring men's Interests has been publicly acknowledged ac-knowledged by labor leaders as a distinct dis-tinct and advanced contribution to the cause of humanity. Pledge Prohibition. We pledge the Incoming governor and legislative assembly, if Republi- can, to promptly, nnd mil less than fifteen day bet'oro the close of llui not session of the lettislat ure, enact a law elToctlvoly prohibit Ing, by direct di-rect legislation, the inanufaeiiiie and the sale, by proscription or otherwise, of intoeatlng liquors of all kinds within the stale of I'luh, a law which shall be thoroughgoing, unambiguous unambigu-ous and us incapable of evasion as language can make It; and Unit said law go Into effect within six months after its passage. Wo also pledge our candidate for Uio United Slates senate lo favor by his ote and in .vry oilier way possible pos-sible every measure that shall bo in-tr-odiiced In congress for the elimination elimina-tion of the liquor Irafllc and for the securing of national prohibition. Workman's Compensation. We favor the enacting of a coni-ptvhensive coni-ptvhensive worlvinan's compensation law providing a liberal schedule of payment for death and inlury resulting result-ing from accident to employees ot all kinds, whether slato. municipal or private. We favor the prompt submission by congress and ratification by Urn necessary nec-essary number of states of th proposed pro-posed constitutional amendment. Introduced Intro-duced by Senator Siiltierlai' conferring con-ferring the elective tranelilse on women, wo-men, and in that oonnivtlon we espe-o.ally espe-o.ally congratulate the Republican nominee for president. Governor Charles E. Hughe, -.-n his eiui-1:.-!' lc and unequivocal approval of this proposed amendment. We pledge the Republican party to provide proper recognition of women by appointment on all state boards and commissions not Incompatible with women's work. Public Utilities. We favor the creation of a public utilities commission. ani we pledge our party to put on the statute books of this state at the next session of the legislation adequate laws for the carrying out of the provisions of section sec-tion 1." of article IS of the constitution constitu-tion relative to the establishment of reasonable maximum rates of charg- for the transiorlalion of passengers and freight, for correcting abuses vad preventing discrimination and extortion extor-tion in rates by all common carriers. The const itutlon and statutes of our state provide adequate mileage for traveling expenses of public officers of our state, and In line with legislation legisla-tion by a Republican congress and believing be-lieving that wholesome legislation is hampered and endangered by the sya- t.-m in v.it-nrt nf p i v I n f n isui.a tr r.nlv. lie officials, we pledge our legislature and governor to pass an adequate anti-pass measure for the correction of this evil. We pledge the Republican party to the enactment of such legislation as may be necessary to secure to the workers the legal right of voluntary association, for mutual protection and welfare, protecting their rights against unwarrantable Issuance of writs of injunction. Labor Legislation. We favor the enactment of legislation legis-lation calculated to secure the safety, conservation and protection of labor from the dangers incident lo industry and transportation. We demand the faithful observance and enforcement of the eight-nour law in mines, mills and smelters, as well as on all public works. We pledge the Republican party to the enactment of a law giving to the workers of this state "one day's rest in seven." If elected to power, we pledge the Republican party to the broadening of the law creating the office ot commissioner com-missioner of labor and statistics with such additional power as the general welfare may demand. AVe disapprove tlie Democratic pol icy in time of peace of taxation upon special articles. A tariff law constructed con-structed In accordance with Republican Repub-lican principles would produce, as ft has always produced under Republican administration, sufficient revenue to carry on the operations of the government gov-ernment without resort to vexatious taxation such as that contained in the so-called emergency revenue act. Denounce Democrats. We denounce the attempt of the Democratic administration to interfere with and abridge the just rights of the settlers upon the former Uinta Indian reservation to the use and control con-trol of the waters which they have appropriated for irrigation, and we de clare that in Uie matter of the appro priation and use of these waters, a well as all other waters within th. state, the state law is supreme. We believe that the public schools of the suite should be kept entirely free from partisan politics, and to that end we favor the non-partisan selection of the state superintendent of public instruction. The home bri"s to its owners no income. Yet the safety and perpetuity of every republic is guaranteed where the people own their own homes and is undermined whore the burden of taxation is so great as to threaten the ownership of tlie home by those of moderate means. We therefore pledge our governor and legislature to the enaction of such laws on taxation as shall encourage the ownership by the people of their homes and small farms. |
