employ-ment that it will recognize the principle princi-ple that every official of the republic is a public servant strictly responsible to the people and holding his office subject sub-ject to the will of the people that public pub-lic h ids be rescued from the hands of squatters speculators and landed monopolies and preierved for the use dtbe people to whom they niy belong that the principal

to t ie payment Jf poll tax as a condition on which the right to vote mu = t depend We believe in free honest unobstructed i ballots that the right to voto should I attack to the citizen and not to

of wages enables en-ables employees to live more economically economi-cally and assures them greater independence inde-pendence We deem it unjust to retain the wagt earned to enlarge the capital or
