Platform

The Democratic party of Piute County in convention assembled re-affirms its devotion to the principles of government upon which the great Democratic party of the nation was founded.

Amid the horrors and sufferings and cruelties of the most stupendous war of all the ages, when European civilization seems endangered, we come with a deeper love for our country and our priceless institutions of government.

As Americans and Democrats we love and admire our wise, calm and courageous leader whose steady hand has guided our ship of state safely through shoals and over breakers to peaceful waters, and emancipated the American toiler, the bulwark and fairest hope of the Nation, the scholar, statesman, humanitarian and patriot, our President now and President to be, Woodrow Wilson.

We pledge our loyal support to our party candidate for governor of Utah, that brave, benevolent, courteous empire builder of Utah and the West

Simon Bamberger

We pledge our candidate for the State legislature to support thorough-going unequivocal state-wide prohibition of the liquor traffic in Utah.

We believe as our Democratic forefathers believed of old, that our government is the peoples' government, and not the government of class or faction or special interest, and we therefore pledge our county candidates, if elected to honestly and faithfully perform the duties of their respective office and subserve the public welfare.

-- S.W. Brinkerhoff, Secretary, Wm. E. White, Chairman
