The Democratic Party is a party of action. The Democratic Party does not make mere promises. The Democratic Party endeavors to fill its platform pledges. All one needs to do is to investigate the laws enacted in the State Legislature of Utah during the past 25 years and discover the undisputed fact that all of the laws for the benefit of working men and women, social welfare and security laws, legislation for the farmer and better educational facilities were enacted in the Legislative Sessions when the Democratic Party had a majority of the membership of the State Legislature. The Democratic Party enacted legislation to provide for the aged and needy. The Democratic Party is pledged to continue this humanitarian work and recommends that no funds be used from the sales tax until the aged and infirm, the blind, the widows and orphans, are adequately cared for. The Democratic Party believes that the security and stability of a community is largely dependent upon its home owners. The Democratic Party is pledged to enact into law such measures as will encourage home ownership. The Democratic Party favors the continuation of State and National cooperation in forwarding liberal Labor legislation for the benefit of the health and welfare of the worker. The Democratic administration has endeavored to meet every problem laid before it in straightforward, resolute fashion, with no ducking and no dodging. We go before the voters of Utah on a record of accomplishment unrivaled in recent history. VOTE STRAIGHT DEMOCRATIC TICKET.
