Petree of Danbury, N. C., as a candidate for the State Senate to represent Stokes and Surry Counties. The following resolutions were adopted: The Republicans of Stokes County £n Convention assembled SUPPLEMENT TO DANBURY REPORTER at the Court House in Danbury, Nbrth Carolina re-affirm their faith and confidence in Republi can principles. These principles having guided and directed the policies of the Nation most of the time since the birth of the party, and thereby have shown their worth merit in developing the greatest Nation on Earth. They builded a Country of and for all the people. They builded for individuals and individual business, not government owner ship and control. The Democratic party has had the responsibilities of National Government and control occassi onally and in each case they have been destructive rather than constructive, and in each case the have heaped un-bearable indebtedness upon the taxpaying public and relied upon the Re publican Party to restore con ditions worth while. President Wilson involved this Country into a World War, and gave as toll around Five Hundred Thousand of our young men killed and wounded, and in addition created i public debt of around THIRTY BILLION DOLLARS, and yet he nromised to keep us out of war. President Roosevelt during his three years of administration to gether with his rubber stamp Congress and Senate has enacted more un-necessary, destructive and un-constitutional Laws than any Administration since the be ginning of free Government, and besides they have created a debt of some where between THIRTY *.nd FIFTY BILLION DOLLARS. This perhaps is a debt that will exist through many generations imposing a very heavy burden in the form of taxation upon the people of the Nation. The Democratic Party seems to be thrifty spenders of the people's money in Natiqjn, State and Counties, but take little thought about income to balance their budget. Such a policy will eventually consume the various Governments and the people. The people caq(not stand this un- MARCH 26, 1936 necessary spending of their money longer, and yet continue to maintain Constitutional Government The State of North Carolina has a tremendous debt of about Two Hundred Million Dollars. Stokes County has a debt of more than a Million Dollars and these debts must be paid to gether with interest if we con tinue to exist and maintain our honor and credit. Our hope of restoring con ditions in the Nation lies in the Republican Party principles pro perly and honestly administered. They can and will reduce the un necessary extravagance of the present Administration, and make an honest effort to restore normal conditions in our Country. Balance the budget, remove all those committees and unnecess ary employees who are sappiug the taxpayers money in solaries and run the Government within its income. The hope of the Stato and County depends upon a more economical Government which the Republicans offer the people, and we urge the need of a fair and impartial election law and repeal of the absentee ballot. The absentee ballot is being misused in many cases and there !by destroying true fcentimctnt I that 3hould be expressed at the polls. Therefore we condemn the ' reckless extravagant mi9marged j policies of the Democratic Par ty, ing public the safe sound Party principals of the Republican party cipals of the Republican Party and invite all our voting public who love our Country, our Con stitution, our Flag of Liberty, jFree Speech, Free Thought, Free homes, Free press and protection therein, a true form of American Constitutional Government, to join us and help us in the coming election to the end that these things may be perpetuated. We de9ire to commend the Honorable William Meekins for his splendid leadership as Chair man of the State Republican Exe cutive Committee. /
