PLATFORM QF
Mrs. Jesse Jack Hooper
Independent Democratic Candidate for the United States Senate in Wisconsin
End Newberryism and auctioning of public offices to special interests.
Oppose ship subsidies, and support of railroads out of public funds.
A tariff for revenue only.
Adjusted compensation for the men who won the war.
Recognition of labor's right to organize, to bargain collectively, and to receive a just return, which means more than a living wage.
A federal constitutional amendment to prevent child labor.
An international court of justice to settle international disputes, with the league of nations or an association of nations, empowered to enforce that court's findings.
The question of the right and justice of our cause in the war which Germany forced us to wage against her has been injected into the United States senatorial campaign in Wisconsin. From the very first I have firmly and most earnestly believed that we entered the world war not only to protect our honor and our rights, but to preserve human liberty and to end war for all time. For these reasons I believe that in its con¬ duct of the war and in its efforts to establish permanent peace the government at Wash¬ ington was entitled to the unqualified support of every American citizen and above all of every chosen representative of the American people.
Peace is the world's greatest need. No plan to establish peace on a secure founda¬ tion is possible without the participation of the United States. The United States can¬ not participate in any such plan without the assent of the senate. Four years have elapsed since the armistice was signed and yet, with the senate composed wholly of men, we are as far as ever from world peace. To be in a position to serve this great cause most effectively is the chief reason for my candidacy for the senate. I. stand ready to help the cause of peace in every way in my power and I am ready to help the leaders of the Republican party to keep their promises, made in 1920, to make America a mem¬ ber of the League of Nations, or form an Association of Nations.
Construction of Great Lakes waterway.
Enforcement and no weakening of the prohibition amendment.
Adequate appropriations for the children's and women's bureau.
A federal department of education.
Conservation and use of our natural resources, with the welfare of the people the one controlling factor.
Enlargement and adequate protection of our national forests.
Legislation that will make the tenure of office of ambassadors and ministers in¬ dependent of political parties.
