STATEHOOD FOR THE TERRITORIES.
We denounce the failure of the Republican party to carry out its pledges, to grant statehood to the territories of Arizona, New Mexico, and Oklahoma, and we promise the people of those territories immediate statehood and home rule during their condition as territories, and we favor home rule and a territorial form of government for Alaska and Porto Rico.
ARID LANDS.
We favor an intelligent system of improving the arid lands of the West, storing the waters for purposes of irrigation, and the holding of such lands for actual settlers.
CHINESE EXCLUSION LAW.
We favor the continuance and strict enforcement of the Chinese exclusion law and its application to the same classes of all Asiatic races.
ALLIANCE WITH ENGLAND.
Jefferson said: "Peace, commerce, and honest friendship with all nations; entangling alliances with none."
We approve this wholesome doctrine and earnestly protest against the Republican departure which has involved us in so-called politics, including the diplomacy of Europe and the intrigue and land-grabbing of Asia, and we especially condemn the ill-concealed Republican alliance with England, which must mean discrimination against other friendly nations, and which has already stifled the nation's voice while liberty is being strangled in Africa.
