Under the guise of providing a set of principles rather than an outline of specific things desired to be done nr left undone, the Republicans at ftroflnahori adooted a Dlatforra of generalities that says little and gets nowhere. At a document that purports to be the platform of a party that seeks to rule the affairs of the State of North Carolina, it is as weak as the set of men nominated by the Republicans for the various State jobs. If elected the nominees for office would be in capable of carrying out any great re forms and certainly the piatlorm does not commit them to carry out any. The section intended to be most deadly to the Democrats is that on revaluation, which deliberately strad dles the issue in order that the Re publicans may next fall decide which side of the fence they want to get on. Its one snecific recommendation is that the time of listing taxes belutintr, sills for $1465 or $19,65, k-j changed from January first to May first. State Republican Reform.

We are proud of the his tory of the Republican party and of its matchless leaders. National Issues. We commend that brave and pa-; triotic band of Republicans in the United btates benate who have pre vented the confirmation of the League of Nations unamended as at tempted to be forced upon the Ameri can people by President Wilson. We re-affirm our allegiance to the. prin ciples contained in the warnings of George Washington against the American people entering into en tangling alliance with foreign nations.
