Massachusetts Democrats call for reform and state control
The platform denounces Republican practices of delegating questions to commissions and demands action by regular authorities. It urges labor improvements, a workingmen’s compensation act, reduced hours for women and children, and the eight hour bill. It condemns state interference in municipal government and seeks freer trade with Canada and end to certain duties. The text pledges opposition to Lodge’s re election, calls for agricultural schools, health law enforcement, tuberculosis prevention, food labeling, and a State Finance Commission. It advocates civil service reform and broad government economy while urging citizens to join for reforms.
