Presidential Primaries
The movement toward more popu

through legislation In each state
which will permit the expression of
the preference of the electors for nn.
tlonal candidate at presidential pri

committee Incorporate In the call for
tlie next nominating convention a re
quirement that al expressions of pre
ference for presidential candidates
shall he given and the selection of
delegate and alternates made
through a primary election conducted

Mate.
It has proposed an amendment to
the federal constttlon providing for
the election of United States sena
tors hy tlie direct vote of the peo
ple. It lias secured tlie ndmUMou of
Arlona and New Mexico as two sov
ereign states. It has required the
piihlfclly' of 'campaign expendltiires
hotli hefore ami after election and
fixed a limit upon the election ex
penses of United States senators and
icprcsoutativos.
It has passed n hill to prevent the
ahuso of the writ of Injunction.
It has passed a law establishing
an eight hour day for worklngmeu on
all national puhllc works
It has passed a resolution which
forced the president to take Immed
iate steps to abrogate (he Utihslun
treaty.
And It has passed the great sup
ply bills which lo.ssen waste and ex
travagance, and which reduce the
annual expenses of tho government.
We approve the measure reported

house of representatives for the lo
cation or li council of national de

definite naval program with a view to
Increased efficiency and economy.
The party that proclaimed nnd lins

We favor tho efficient supervision

To this end wo recommend the valua
tion of railroads, express companies,
telegraph and telephone lines by tho
Inter-state commerce commission,
such valuation to take into consid
eration the physical valuation of the
property, tho original cost, the cost
of reproduction nnd any element of
value that will render the valuation
fair and Just.
Wo favor such legislation as will
efectually prevent the railroad, ex
press, telegraph and telephone com
panies from engaging In business
which brlngB them Into competition
with their shippers, or patrons also
legislation preventing the over issue
of stocks and bonds by Inter-htate
railroads, express companies, tele

lation which will Insure such reduc

ditions will permit, care being taken
to avoid reductions that would com
pel a reduction of wages, prevent
adequate service or do Injustice to
legitimate Investments.
