Republican Document That is
Patriotic From Start to Finish.
The fuli text of platform adopt-
Ia- the Republican St-ate Con-
veniion at Greensboro, N. C.,
The State Dispatch.
L‘’US
t 10, is as follows;
We, Republicans of North
Carolina, in convention assem
bled. do hereby adopt the follow-
^ri'.r statement of our beliefs and
])urposes concerning both nation
al and state affairs;
VVe pledge our continued loyal-
t v 1,0 William Howard Taft, Presi-
of the United States, and
ieaaer of our party. We heartily
v'f.iigrutnlate both him and the
Kepublican majorities in the
vjxiy-first Congress on the extra-
i\|}nary number of wise meas-
' j’.os which, in accordance with
t'jk* i'rcm’ -os of our national con-
v.jnrlon. nave already been enact-
iiiio Our history hardly
’i’i.'oriis another instance in which
the j ^aviy in power has so prompt-
iy :r>ru!o g'ood so many of its
UiM:pi:^es to the people.
\V.> •■■/iunv our allegiance to the
policy of protection.
Thi' MiLithern states, and Norch
in particular, -have
by that policy in the
ana have every reason to
inci'i.'used benefits from it
);■; niruri;.
V.'f iv:-anily approve the plan
coJnniission. which, by
;i vi, >'!;;;at:in^ carefully the con-
uiik'vs and the cost of ])roduct-
:t,n of ]:^;’i:>u?cted articles in this
coaiiir;.' and abroad, aims not
;r:fc!'('iy 10 put that .policy on a
vc’on’i!ic i)asis, but to enable all
n-vr. i(. judge for themselves of
i:> i':i^) ness and justice. Firmly
i-eiieving, as we do, that it is the
yvii'.'v lor this country, and that
f.o ciH-.ntry will adhere to it, we
riiai it is plainly to the
N uiiv’'. interest, and to North
C;u''j'rir\a’s interest to send to
u'a^liington representatives and
seMyiors of the party that sup-
it. VVe hold that the south
Si'.amed by the glaring insin-
c-riiv tvf Democratic senators
';‘v!'-'-‘t^seMtatives who, while
as bitter opponents of
]>i'licy in their speeches and
! pavty platforms, neverthe-
by their votes that
t:^"..'lieve in it; who seek to
its benefits for their con-
>!'■ aenis not by the manly avowei
o:’ iheir real convictions, but by
.-eLvet intrigues and bargains,
fjra: of the great numbe]' of
v;Ue and progressive acts which
stand to the credit of the ad-
mir.istration and this Congress,
wti especially commend their
*: -atr:-!ent of the difficult subject
:i;iersiat,e commerce, and we
j; ariily endorse the polieyj^,em-
Kiiud in that legislation, to-wit:
/^yvilation of commerce carriers
:y.' a commission of experts, sub-
'-:c: to appeals to a court, so'
.ru-.avized that it will become a
■ i't oi' experts. We call atten-
to the contrast between this
:a ncl definite and sound policy
. .a the utter failure of the op-
p.'-Tluon to agree upon any policy
at.t^ ver in this field,
Vi'e commend also the vigorous
:nva.rares already taken to con-
our national resources for
the people,
V\'e also cite, as another ex-
aviiijle of the efficiency of the
Kopubiican party, the admirable
•vork of the national monetary
commission in preparing the way
for the much needed reform of
pur system of currency and
banking, to the end that the ir-
-!X^sponsible control of credit by
pov, erful and selfish private in
terests shall be stopped and that
adequate provision shall be made
to safeguard the business of the
country against financial panics.
''^'e commend the work of that
commission to business men, and
taem to contrast the Republican
attitude on this issue with that
of the Democratic party, which
■■'•hiie loudly crying against exist
ing' evils, offers no plan of its
own for reform, but contents
:tself with opposing, like the
.oiovei’bial dog in the manger,
‘r'ery specific suggestion that is
made.
On all the great national issues
o'-ir party has proved its compet-
‘i'-0 to manage the government
adopting policies which all
"ion can understand. Our op-
;-0!:en „s, by their failure to agree
i any clear program of action,
proved their unreadiness
^ unfitness for the trust. They
not even agreed on the tariff
on which they have chosen
■ j ;.iai;e their campaign. Some
‘ i'i.ir moderate protection,
: ai'e free traders, some are
i protectionists in disguise,
;,■■■ a)-e for tree raw materials.
^ '^01 ihe affairs of this great
i'v in their hands would be
; - .''n from the tried to the un-
from experience to blind
'■■■:' liment, from order to choas.^

swamp lands in the
draina,ge as arid and
lands in the west have been
claimed by irrigation.
Turning to the affairs of our
own state, we have no need to
juggle with words in order to
conceal a lack of convictions, or
to make use of fatuos platitudes,
alter the fashion of our oppon
ents. On what may be called
the permanent issues, we need
hardly do more than repeat the
plam language of our own plat-
lorm of two years ago, on which
we won so great ah increase of
support from the people.
We repeat our declaration in
lavor of the most liberal policy
concerning education that the
state's resources will permit.
Our children must all have the
opportunity to obtain a good
public school education. Our
institutions of the higher learn
ing must all ^ be mentioned, and
we favor giving them such sup
port that they may put within
south by I and particularly our higher*
semi-arid codrts, shall be kept above the
atmosphere of partisan politics,;
and that the judicial ermine shall
never be conferred as a reward
for mere political service. Th^
sole test of fitness for judicial
honors and duties should be pro-
lessional eminence and , ability
and exalted charactei.
Believing, as we do, that in
state and nation alike the poHcies
lor which our party stands are^
right and wise, we invite all
patriotic citizens, whatever their
party affiliations in the past, to
join with us in supporting them.
We believe that in the south par
ticularly it is of first importance
that our party shall continue to
grow. It is universally conced
ed that the southern states, by
their blind allegiance to one
party, have for years deprived
taemselyes of the_ power and in
fluence in the nations, which our
torefathers, once possessed and
vigorously exercised, and. which

policy with common carriers and

issue squarely with the declara
tion of our opponents which, if
it means anything, means that
all great combinations of ^capitei
are to be destroyed outright. We
hold, on the contrary, that much
of the work of modern society
will continue to be done, by^eat
corporations. What needed in

repeat, therefore, the pledge of |
our.last platform-the pledge to |
ourselves against two kinds ot
injustice, the injustice which
permits great corporations and
and other combinations of wealth
to prey upon the poor, and the
iniustice which sacrifices propei-
ty and deranges business in order
that cheap demagogues may get
or keep office. We reaffim our
allegiance to the time 'honored
principle of local self-govern
ment and we denounce tne suc
cessive betrayals of that pimci-
ple by our opponents, who long
