Planks From the Democratic
State Platform
The democratic party of the state of Idaho, iu
convention assembled iu the city of Wallace,
renew» its allegiance to the tenets of righteous
self government as enunciated by Jefferson, a»
dated aud defended by that stalwart demo
crat. Andrew Jackson, and as loyally cham
pioned by that peerless leader, William Jen
nlngs Hr van.
We fully aud cordially ratify aud affirm that
splendid statement «>f party principles embodied
in our democratic national platform adopted by
the Conveutiou receufïy convened at Denver
and pledge our support to the candidates
inated thereon.
Firmly believing that the first concern of the
sute should always be to maintain a govern
ment by the people, therefore as a mean» of
bringing the people nearer to the adminiat
tlon of the governmeut, we favor the enact
?»ent of a direct primary election law. We
further favor au amendment to the constitution
°i « •.P I SS 5 ® SLäIä * »n a* to secure the election
of United States senators by direct vote of the
nom
While we believe in the preservation of the
uatioual forests, we are unalterably opposed to
the inclusion within national forest reserves of
laud which is capable of being transformed into
hones for the people. We denounce the policy
of national landlordism as exemplified in the
present national forest reserve policy. Such a
bureaucratie policy is uujust to the citizen and
t*Xp*y«r of the state, an impassable barrier to
settlement, progress and development ol the re
sources oi the state and thoroughly un-Ameri
can and un -democratic.

state legislature providing for the creation of a

The state has no higher funetlou to perfor
than to adequately to protect the lives, perso i
and property of its citizens, rto believlng, we
favor a more efficient law reqtnrlincthe owne

We favor the enactment of a la» riauirlux
state banks to establish a guaranty fund for the
Prompt payment of the UepoDlta of auy luiml
vent state bank under an equitable system
similar to that of Oklahoma.
The present state administration has signally
failed in tile administration of the state affairs
and beeu grossi) extravagant In expending the
money wrung by taxation from the citizens Of j
Idaho. We hold that money unnecessarily ex
pended by public officiais Is a siècles of confis
cation of the property of the citizen, and we
pledge «nir party, if placed in power, to an
economical administration of the state s huai*.
.and further pledge the party to bring about
a reduction of the number of ofllcials drawing
salaries from the state, believing this can be
doue without injury to the efficiency of tiie
administration of our state government
Recognizing tiie conflict of interests between
certain settlers and tiie state of Idaho over
homestead lands in which the state ha?
preference right through the publie laud depart
ment of the government, we recommend in
view of the alleged long residence aud substan
tial and valuable improvements of many of tiie
aforesaid settlers, that the state land board la*
fore securing a cancellation of said settler::
homestead entries and issuance of patents to
tiie state for said land inaugurate a thorough
investigation of the lama tides of the alleged
settlement and improvement, of said land by
Said settlers, and their moral and equitable
right to title thereto aud that in the event of
tiie establishing of such right by any of said
settlers, that the slate of Idaho should wai
any supeiior legal right or claim to said land.
We favor the enactment i>( a law Inrtlie ail- ,
justment of disputes between employers ami ;
employes.
Relieving that the efficiency of government
depends not st» much on the volume of its laws ;
as Upon the strictness and Impartiality of their
enforcement, we would limit new législation to
such enactments only as may be adequate to
the functions of a lust and orderly government,
granting equal rights and equal protection to i
all aud special privileges to none.

Appeal to Democrats
for Bryan and Kern Cam
paign Fund, from the
Democratic National
Committee
To the Editor of the Free Press,
Orangeville, Idaho
Dear Wir:
There are no secrets in this
Campaign. Strictly practicing
what he preaches, Mr. Bryan
would not win victory with
tainted money paying the elec
tion expenses.
Not a dollar is to he accepted
which requires any promise,
either express or implied, othei
than for honest, impartial gov
ernment.
Mr. Bryan will enter the
White House absolutely free
from entangling alliance», free
to serve all classes of honest cit
izens alike, or he will not enter
it at all.
Hence the course is plain. The
campaign of Bryan and Kern
must be conducted by the peo
ple.
The people must pay the nec
essary campaign expenses if they
want public servants who will
serve their interests.
Hereafter all contributions to the Bryan campaign fund will he
sent to the Western Headquarters of the Democratic National
Committee which has been opened at Denver, of which (iov. John
E. Osborne of Wyoming is chairman and has entire charge of the
campaign in the Inter-Mountain states. A portion of the contri
butions w ill be used in assisting us to carry Idaho for Bryan.

Sherman is cutting rather a sorry
figure in the campaign. His chief
dash into the I'm d : ghl to date has
been his nppearence at a meeting
in Illinois in behalf of his fellow
member and co-worker in the house
for the interests, Uncle Joe.
Special interests and favored
classes, having secured "swollen
fortunes" by purchasing favors
in the past with millions contrib
uted to control elections, Btand
ready to give millions more for
continued favors. But that class
a dollar unless it
never gives
buys a pledge.
Mr. Bryan says, from March
i909, "Let the people rule.
This can come only if the peo
ple pay their own hills, and con
trol their own elections.
• '
'Beware of the trusts hearing
gifts."
That policy of the favored few
buying a mortgage on the Gov
ernment meant that the candi
date for President knew a few
people only in an entire State.
Bryan says, "We will take
the cause of people's rule home
to the people in every county."
You can serve the grand cause
of popular government through
the columns of your paper. It
reaches the fireside of the patriot
who loves his country for his
country's good; as distinguished
from the greedy possessor of
swollen fortunes who loves his
country only for his country's
goods.
