THE STATE PLATFORM Official Declaration of the Principles of North Carolina Democrats. The Democracy of North Carolina, in convention assembled, renews its allegiance to the principles of consti tutional government, through laws en acted and executed in the interest of the whole people, without favor to individual, or class, and it pledges it self to continue the just, wise and economical administration of public affairs, which have obtained in State and ocunty since its return to power in 1899. We congratulate the people of the State that, under Democratic auspices, there has been established throughout, the borders of the State a reign of law and liberty, peace and progress fthat our people are no long er employed in guarding their homes and protecting their lives, liberty and property, as they were under Repub lican rule, but safe in the protection of law and enjoying the freedom which comes from security are direct ing their energies to peaceful pursuits of honest industry. We endorse the wise, patriotic and able administration of our State's af fairs by Governor Robert B. Glenn and the other State officials, and we point with pride to the record of our Senators and Democratic Representa tives in Congress and , endorse the' same. Constitutional Amendment. ' 'We again congratulate the people of North Carolina upon the success ful operation of the constitutional amendment regulating the .elective franchise. The adoption of this meas ure has permanently solved the race problem, which had so long agitated the public mind, and was a menace to peace and good government. In its operation, the assurances made by the Democratic party to the people, that no white man wtould be disfran chised thereby, have been fully veri fied, and the predictions of the Repub lican party to the contrary proven false. After a test of five years the wisdom of the amendment is recog nized and . aquiesced in by all polit ical parties, and is accepted as a so lution of a vexed question. Ve congratulate the people upon the beneficent effect of the temper ance legislation enacted by the DemT ocratie party, and aprove and en-doi-se the principle enunciated in the Wafts bill and the Ward bill regulat ing the manufacture and sale : of li quor. ' On Education. We reaffirm our constitutional de clarations that religion, morality" and knowledge, being necessary to good government and the happiness of mankind, schools end meansof edu cation shall be forever encouraged, and that the people have the right to the privilege of education, and that it is the duty of the State to guard and maintain that right, and we ex press hearty approval of the great re sults accomplished through education al work during the past six years of Democratic rule; at the great im provement made during that lime in our educational conditions, and we promise a continuance of a four mouths' school term for all the chil dren of the State. The Democratic party established the system of pen sioning Confederate soldiers and opened the soldiers' home to the care of the veterans who responded to the call of the State in the war between the States. Every dollar given thera was appropriated or forced by Demo cratic legislation, or Democratic pub lic sentiment. We pledge the party, to a fuller -discharge -of a debt that can never be fully paid to these aging heroes, who offered their lives as a sacrifice upon the altars of their couutrv. , Care of the Insane. We point with pride to fhe record of the Democratic party in its care of the unfortunate classes in our State and promise to continue to en large our charitable institutions until all . the indigent insane are cared for at the expense of the State. The powers of the corporation com mission should be so enlarged as "to give it full and adequate power to regulate all public service corpora tions within the State and subject to its jurisdiction Passenger and freight rates in North Carolina are too high and should be materially and substantially reduced and we demand such action by the Legislature and corporation commission as will ac complish such reduction. We are op posed to granting charters to corpo rations in perpetuity. The discrimination of railroads against North Carolina cities and towns and in favor of other points having no' greater natural advantages is a grave injustice to the people of this State, and should be corrected by such limitations .set by the constitu tion of the United States. 1 The interference by public service corporations in political matters should be called so sharply to the attention of the people that it will be odious and the efficiency of such cor porations as political agencies should thus be destroyed. The law: against issuing free passes should 1 be so amended as to make the party who illegally receives them equally guilty with the corporation issuing them. The failure of connecting lines of railways to make connection as sched uled is a source of much inconveni ence, expense 'and annoy aiice to the traveling public, and we demand such additional legislation as may be necessary to enforce, that provision of our statute, which reguives conneet- ing lihej to make as close connection as is practicable for the convenience of the traveling public. Favors Forest Reserve. We favor the Appalachian, forest reserve and the construction of the inland water way from Norfolk, Vir ginia, to Beaufort inlet, North Car olina. While both of these projects involve great benefits to the State, they are also of national importance. The one preserves our mountain for ests and conserves our water supply promotes the public health, main tains our water power and aids agri culture, the latter will open up a free outlet North and South for the water borne trade of eastern North Carolina, equalize traffic rates and promote the prosperity of our people. Its con struction will also greatly increase the coast-wise trade between t!. 2 South Atlantic and North Atlantic ports. We urge our Senators and Representatives to continue their ef forts to secure legislation for the cs tablishment of thp.one- and the con struction of the other. Equal Rights to All. We reaffirm our adherence to the time honored principle of Democracy of "equal rights to all and stoc;a'J privileges to none" and we condemn subsidies, gratuities, bonuses, trusts? and monopolies. Jbor nearly ten ye,ars the Republican party has been in absolute control of all departments of national government with pswei to change unjust conditions and t rectify evils. Yet, during that time colossal combinations of capital have dominated the people, and illegal per version of corporate laws have stifledJ i- .T competition and unfairly limited the opportunity iof the individual citi zen. Wealth thereby illegally obtain ed has been unsparingly used to con trol legislation and corrupt elections. No honest effort has been made, or is being made, by Republican legisla tion to cure or eradicate these evils. We denounce the hypocrisy "of the Republican party which, while pre tending to legislate against these con ditions, deals only with the symptoms and not with the disease. The, un-' tV.ir, tyrannical features of the so cailed ' protective tariff" have made these things possible, and no perma nent relief can be secured until its obnoxious features are . removed. To remedy this evil we demand -a thor ough rev:-ion of present tariff laws. Trusts Denounced. The growth of the trusts and oth er inordinate and dangerous combina tions of capital, the tremendous and rapidly increasing absorption and cen tralization of the wealth of the coun try in the hands of a chosen few, all duo to premeditated and systematic legislation in behalf of special- inter ests by the Republican party, demand a change in the policies- imposed upon the country by that party and make the passage of restrictive laws an im perative necessity. We denounce the appalling system of corruption heretofore practiced by the great insurance companies, where by money intrusted to them for the benefit of widows and orphans has been devoted to the'mirichment of fa vored individuals and to the cam paign fund of the Republican par ty. The Tariff. We denounce the present iniqui tous, unjust and trust-creating pro tective tariff imposed upon the people by the Republican party and demand its immediate revision, to the end that all unjust burdens shall be removed, and especially those upon the necessa ries of life and those that enable the trust to extort from the people un reasonable profits and to sell their products to consumers at home at greater prices than are charged for the same goods to the foreign consum er. , 4 Debate on Platform. After the report was read Mr. Jno. D. Bellamy, of New Hanover, moved that the perpetuity clause be stricken out. Mr. W. H. Powel, of Tarboro, seconded the motion. The amendment lid not carry. Mr. J. D. Murphy, of Buncombe, asked that an amendment be added to the platform to give the corporation commission power to fix just and reasonable tolls and rentals to be received by telephone compan les. Major E. J. Hale insisted on his resolution endorsing the Chicago plat lorm and other things and moved that it be added to the report of the plattorm committee. N . S. Spence moved as a substitute that the resolu tions be laid on the table. There were calls for a vote. Spence 's motion car-J ried: A division was called and a poll of the counties taken. The result was 351 against, and 345 for. Senator Simmons offered the following substi tute to Major Hale's resolution: Senators and Judges by Direct Vote. Resolved, That the Democratic par ty, in convention assembled, declares itself in favor of the election of Unit ed States Senators and Federal judges by a direct vote of the people ; that it also, favors the enactment of a graduated income tax and for the purpose favors such amendment to the constitution of the United States as may be necessary. Mr.. Cameron Morrison spoke against adding "Federal judges" to the resolution. He said that it was revolutionary to talk of electing Fed eral judges by the people. Senator Simmons said that he did not under stand the "Federal judge" clause to refer ot the United States Supreme Court judges. Major Hale insisted on the Federal judges being added, explaining thhat he did not mean to include Supreme Court judges.
