TRi-WEEKL- No-o-o-- By SEWELL j - N The committee on platform and resolutions of the. Democratic state convention held at Salt Lake City, presented the followin? platform which was adopted toy the convention. The Democracy of Utah, in convention assembled, reiterates its prinbelief in the ciples of the organization that has always stood for the rights of all. the people, as against the dezhands of the favored classes since the founding of the republic, and reaffirm its faith in the great underlying principle laid down by Jefferson and incorporated into the Declaration of Independence in the following language : We hold these truths to be ; that all men are created equal ; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain rights and among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to sectire these rights governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,, and we pledge ourselves to a continuation of - the policy which has ever characterized this party a strict ' adherence tot that principle.

The Democratic party of the state enters its protest against these conditions and the cause therefor, and calls upon the people of the state to rebuke at the polls the assumption and arrogance of the party which is alone responsible for the aquation. Th Democratic party neither seeks nor fears the interference of any ecclesiastical powri vrlli the expression of popular will at the polls, and denies the rigfrt of my of any man, or set of power to dictate men, political, conventions., We hold that American exi are politically free and alone should oquid, and the wield this power. While we are willing and ready at all times to accord to the president of the United States the credit due him for his work in securing the passage of a'national irrigation law. at the same timo we positively refuse to concede fhat it was 'a Republican measure, but on the contrary was, as is shown by the record, initiated ly, labored for and. introduced by a Democrat, advocated by Democrats, passed by Democrats auj but for the votes of the Democratic members of both houses, would have been defeated by Republicans, overwhelmingly. We believe in the dignity of labor and recognize the rights of the toilers of our state, and pledge our candidates for office to the enactment of such policies and measures as will protect them in their rights and inspire their personal liberty in the pursuit of their several octifitions7 The Democratic party now, a.t in the past, is the friend of labor and pledges its candidates to a just and equal enforcement of the laws without discrimination in favor of persons, property or power. It advocates a just and compensatory wage for the service of an eight hour day in j work on all public works and in mines, mills and smelters, and in all cases a fair and living jeration for the labor of all men and women, With a firm reliance in the in- tegrity of the people of Utah, we submit the issues of this campaign national and state, to their candid judgment at the polls. lr , e-t- i. p-o- remun-conditio- ns mthegeneral feeling that owing to I hr mdifForent'support-whieb-th- at institution has received in the past f rdfinhC" 'local " Republican party, it is eminently proper to insert a pledge in the Republican platform.

We call attention to recent manifestations of distress on the part of certain Republican candidates in attempting to secure Democratic support on grounds. The Democratic party has at all times takeu the position and now asserts that political considerations only should govern in political affairs. 10 As an evidence of Republican insincerity in its pretended friendship for the 'irrigation interests of the country we call attention to the failure of the last Republican legislature to pass the District Irrigation bill which was introduced in the Senate by a Democrat from Cache county, ahd was intended for the relief of a large and deserving irrigation project in our county. Every appeal to Republican officials which has been made by the people wha are bearing the burden of this enterprise has been rejected. 11 We demand the adoption of a more scientific and practical system of improvement of the county roads. and-speciou- non-politic- : THE dACHE -- Always Brings Results.
