N. C GRAHAM, N. C, July 9, 1908. DEMOCRATS AT DENVER. . The Democratic National Conven tion convened at lenver Tuesday. Theodore A. lk-11, of California, called the convention to order. Res olutions of respect to the memory of Grover Cleveland, the dead states man, were adopted and after a brief session the convention pays a handsome tribute to his memory by adjourning. Platform an! other committees were hard at work on their tasks yesterday and tho day before, and a supremo effort will be made to evolve a platform that will be wor thy of a great party and a great people. The overwhelming sentiment of the delegates seems to bo for Bryan wniie Johnson and uray have no mean or insignificant following. A demonstration yesterday in favor of Bryan lasted for an hour and thirty minutes and we should not be surprised if he were nominated on the first ballot. Adopted at the Slate Convention In Charlotte. The Democracy of North Carolina in convention assembled reaffirms its allegience to the cardinal princi ples of true Democratic government, and congratulates the people upon the irise, the progressive and the economical conduct of public affairs since its restoration to power in this State. In the inaugural address of Gov ernor Aycock January, 1901, is this sentence: ''This year we meet under extraordinary circumstances one party goes out and another comes in, one policy ends and a new one begins." The Democratic party again en tered into power; Democratic policy became the controlling policy of our State. The achievements of those years are unmistakably great. To the trust imposed, the Democratic party has been wholly faithful. The administrations of Governor Charles B. Aycock and Governor R. B. Glenn have added prestige to our history, T . ... SfJla . . the laws of the State reducing the rates. We declare that the beet interest of the State demands that all of our people shall unite in earnest en deavor to Fecure employment fair wages fur all oui fellow citizens who are now idle or who are work ing on short time, by no fault of theirs, but by reason of the panic caused oy Republican policies, CAPITAL WELCOMED Eveiy enterprise looking to the investment of capital and employ ment of skilled labor should be fos t ered and encouraged by the State. All foreign corporations doing business in this State should be re quired to obtain license to do so, and the license of any such corporations should be revoked if watered stock or bonds be issued by it in violation of State statutes, or without the ap proval of properly constituted legal authorities. Foreign corporations doing busi ness in this State should be requir ed to submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State under penalty ot navmg their license Charlotte can pardonably feel a little "stuck up" over tho many nice things said about her as to the splen did manner in which she handled me immense crowd ai me wemo- cratic State Convention. For our part wo exported hor to put her ''best foot foremost" and add fresh laurels to her chaplet. That she did it is evidenced by the fact that the Republicans, too, are going to hold their convention in tho "Queen City." Tho splendid silver service, the gift of the State, was presented to the cruiser North Garolina last Friday. She is the handsomest, fastest and host ship in the navy. Tho presentation was made in North Carolina waters while the cruiser stood at anchor off Cape Lookout. Lieutenant Governor Francis D. "Winston presented the service in a most appropriate speech. and given prosperity to our people, State affair have been conducted with clean efficiency, and to the people have come peace. Out of the very shadows of disor der the record begins. There is no more aisoraer ana there is no more doubt. The people have come into their own. Responsible gov ernment is made sure. Conditions encourage the full devlopment of our industries. To the child is give greater opportunity for knowledge and North Carolina is become a na tional leader in popular education. A stable government has inspired confidence. Local improvements are pushed with vigor. Good schools J J ana gona roaas are no longer a dream, but are growing realities. State institutions have been manag ed with credit and without scandal. The record is unroarred by official misconduct. Appropriations have increased as our needs demand while taxes are reduced. Even the convict is now able to add his part to the support of the government Speaker and through the trickery of the Republican dictator of the Sen ate. No more shameless spectacle has ever been presented to the American people than the method by which this hybrid and iniquitous measure was railroaded through Congress. This bill turns over the Treasury of the United States to the gamblers of the New York stock exchange for a period of six years. It means a gift to the enemies of the Republic of the power to issue or retire one-hall billion dollars, exciting speculation or compelling disaster, according to which ever best suits their pocket-book. We condemn the Republican par ty whose policies and conduct pro duced in 1907 the most acute and disastrous panic in the history of the United States. The effect of its policy has precipitated panic, blighted in dustry and trade with prolonged de pression, closed factories, reduced work and wages, halted enterprise, and crippled American production. Under this Republican panic suffer ing has been universal; soup houses have been established and strikes have been of almost daily occurence. All contributions to political par- Ane "PbHcnn party has been in ties or for political purposes should l00110 "e national government be made public at once, and the in aU of lu branches lor the past 11 charter of an v domestic wirnorat ion years, .and now in the midst of doing business in this State, a"nd J abundant cr0D8 and boundless na the license of any foreign corpora- tioaai "sources it b" brought about me most destructive tion, ehould be revoked, if any such corporation contributes to any polit ical campaign fund, or to any fund for the purpose of aiding in or pro curing the nomination of any candi date for public office. PUBLIC SERVICE CORPORATIONS All public service corporations and natural monopolies should be brought under strict control of the United States as in inter-State busi ness, and of the State as to intra state business, but a fair return on a fair valuation of property owned or operated by them should be al lowed, after paying operating ex penses, including just and ample wages to employes. Private monopolies should be destroyed. Conspiracies by- pros pective purchasers to put down or . Col art S Teachers' laatlrale. Dr. W. S. Long, Supt. of Schools, and Prof. J. M. Weatherly, a suo cessf ul teacher of many years exper ience in this and other States, are conducting an institute for the color ed teachers this week.

We condemn the Republican par ty for its efforts in the national Con gress to revive the bitterness of the civil war and renew again the bloody shirt issue, by tacking to the cam paign publicity bill Crumpacker's Southern representation reduction measure. The passage of this bill through the lover House of Con gross was an act of cheap, hypocriti cal politics, designed to corral the negro vote in- the doubtful States for their presidential nominee. We denounce the Republican par ty for its failure to enact during the produced by the labor of others "efion.of Congress a campaign puouciiy Diu; out tne people of the country need not expect such measure to come from a party that thrives on corruption mOney and which could not carry on a earn ing the last session of Congress, tin the last five months theBepublican Congress spent $ 1,200,000,000 of the pople's money, lev yrag a tax of f 13 per annum on every burdened tax payer. We do not wonder, therefore, at the . present deficit of (00,000,000 in the treasury, and the expected deficit of 1180,000,000 at the end of the next fiscal year. The Republican billion dollar Congress o f 1890 produced a Democratic victory n 1892; the Republican billion dol- iar session of the present Concrete means the triumphant election of a Democcatic President in the coming election. " We condemn the Republican ad ministration for turning over millions of dollars of the public money to its pet banks in New York City, which thereby depleted the public treasury to such an extent that it became necessary for the Republican admin istration to issue oonds i nd borrow money to meet the daily obligations of the Federal government. , We coudemn the Republican par ty for its failure in the last Congress to enact a law forbidding one inferi or judge to suspend the operation of a State law without notice or hear We declare our inflexible opposi tion to the methods of expanding Federal power at the expense of the just powers of the State, and we es pecially denounce the bold and rev olutionary threat that the omission of the States to pass laws upon sub- GOO D ROhDS Prominent Speakers Will Address the People of Alamance County at the following times : and places IB 01 k The Sooi Boads W issue....
