The Democracy of North Carolina in convention assembled re-affinns.its allegiance to the cardinal principles" of true Democratic government, and congratulates the people upon the wise, the progrec"vo and the eco nomical conduct f public ' affairs since its restoration to power in the 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 be gin' The Democratic party again enter ed into power; Democratic policy be came 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 admin istrations of Governor Charles B. Ay cock and Governor R. B. Glenn have added prestige to our history. State affairs have been conducted wiMi clean efficiency, and to thet people lias come peace. A. Splendid Record. Out of the very shadows of cXsor der the record begins. There is, now no more disorder, and no more doubt. The people have come, into their own. Responsible government is made sure.' Condition encourage the full and free development of our industries. To the child is given greater and greater opportunity for knowledge and North Carolina is become a na tional leader in popular ecication. A stable government has inspired con fidence. Local improvements are push ed with vigor. Good schools and good roads are no longer a dream, "bat are growing realities. State insti tutions have been managed with credit and without scandal. The rec ord is unmarred by official miscon duct. 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. The Confederate soldier has been remembered with gratitude and in creased provision made against want in the days of his old age. 'The neecV, 'of the unfortunate are met,; and the call of the afflicted is answered. To tfie blind and to the deaf the State ow holds open thedoor of hope. For A,r unfortunate insane she provided a refuge Of comfort. That -the Leg islature could dedicate one-half mil lion dollars for the adequate care of all our unfortunates shows the growth -of our ability, and the certainty of 'Our care. - ; And th e Democratic party pledge itself to maintain these policies which make for the development of every section of our State, and for the se curity of our; people, and the ; stabil ity of our institutions. Glenn Administration Endorsed: We endorse 'the able and progres sive administration of Gov. R. B. Glenn and the State officers, and we approve and commend to the people of North Carolina the record of our ' Senators and Representatives in the 'Congress of theUnited State3., ? w mr-A wi tli anbroval thi in- creased interest? in permanent roaa building, and recognizing: that the ad vantages" in the ' way of greaUy: m creased land values, in the quick rand - easy transportation over gowv fiharoM stbcano Vehicles s no 'ionevr n Tnpriment,butia,tewMi? - m;t$bi.:';f t sftfta .in - those sec- -.1- v , .v.-:'-jxii,it.

We. believe that every prospective citizen has the risrbt to re ceive, and it is the (jty jof the State to furnish, ?H equate preparation for such citizenship.-, We congratulate the people a f oufonths' school in every diMri iV f,Q longer merely a promise ov a realization of our edu cational affn-rs. an.l pledsre the con tinuation of thnt policy which has ac complished so r-pat good. The Demorrotir; nnrty has kepttits promise and iraferially reduced pas senger end frisht rqtes in the State, ano! given to the people lower rates, while the reports of the railroad com panies show that this reduction of rates has been accompanied by in creased revenue on that class of bu iness affected' by the laws of the State reducing the rates. We declare that the best interesl of the State demands that all of our people shall unite in earnest endeav ors to secure employment at fait wages for all of our fellow-citizen who are now idle, or whoare working on short time, by no fault of tb". but by reason of the panic causd by Republican policies. ' Capital Welcomed; Every -enterp'rise looking to the in vestment of capital and employment of skilled labor should be fostered and encouraged by the State. Air foreign corporations doing bus iness in this State should be requir ed to obtain license to cto 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 required to submit to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State under penalty of having t!j?ir license to do business in the State revoked. All contributions to political paF ties or for political purposes should be made public at once, and the char ier4 of any enmestic corporation donS business in this State, and the licensf of any foreign corporation, should be revoked, if any such corporation contributes to any political campaign fund, or to any fund for the purpose of aiding in or procuring the nom ination of any candidate for public office. Public Service Corporations. All public service, corporations and natural monopolies should be brought under strict control of the United States as to inter-State bcrainess. and of the State as to intra-State busi ness, but a fair return on a fair val uation of property owned or operat ed by them should be allowed, after paying operating expenses, " including just and ample wages to employes. Private monopolies should be de stroyed. Conspiracies by prospective purchases to put down or keep down the prices of articles produced by the labor of others should be made crim inal, and all persons or corporations entering into such conspiracies should be punished ; and we condemn in ev ery form, subsidies, gratuities, bon uses, trusts and monopolies andi they should not be tolerated. Congress should so amend the inter-State commerce law as to prevent discrimination and rebates in inter State traffic, and provide for the pun ishment by imprisonment of officers of railroads and other common bar riers and nublic service corporations, violating such laws; an4 particularly to make unlawful such discrimina tions as are now or may in the fu ture be practiced by railroad com panies and other common carriers and public service corporations against all North Carolina points in favor of points out of the State hav ing no greater natural advantage. The party in power in tne nation that has so long failed to correct such inequalities is equally gUilty with the public service corporations for the disadvantages under which this State, has labored. . .; " .No, railroad company, telegraphs companyj telephone company, express company or other public service, cor-, poration, should be permitted to issue or grant to, any person, ' except officers and employes, any freer pass, 'franks, or otherfree service; privilege, bene fit or favor, and any person - accept ing such favors "should ;be : made equ; ally guilty with ; the corporation" is suing or granting the .same.i v n Banal Protection to' All. - We pledge not only to citizens i of UMs Estate ? but ' ;o ;eitizen$'f oother ;gtateithat all captalveVfedlinlie-i gitimate enterprises injNqrtb JCarck ilnf?heiher!? foreign :Z 6rJi: domestic!

We denounce the vacilating and do-nothing policy of the last session of the Republican Congress. , We - de , clare that most of the legislation' en acted by that body is cheap, tawdry, hypocritical makeshift L Currency Bill Denounced. We denounce the Cannon-Vreeland-AlcVich currency bill which was pass ed by the last session of Congress in the interest and at the dictation of a handful . of great banks and specr? . ulators who occupy offices on Wall Street. This iniquitous, measure, which :s further centralizes in the handfc of a few the issue of American money of the American people was shamelessly rushed through both houses of Congress, in its dying hours, under the lash of the Qzar-like methods of the Speaker and through the trickery of the Republican dicta tor of the Senate. No more shame less spectacle has ever been present ed to the American people than the method by which this hybrid and ini quitous measure was railroaded thro Congress. This bill turns over the Treasury of the United States to the gamblers of the New York stock ex change for a period of six years. It means a gift to the enemies of 'the Republic of the power to issue or retire one-half billion dollars, excit ing speculation or compelling disas ter, acording to which ever best suits their betting book. . . t. , v ; We condemn the Republican party, whose policies and conduct produc-. ed in 1907 the most acute, and dis astrous panic in the history of the United States. The effect of its pol icy has precipitated panic, blighted industry andl trade with prolonged de pression, closed factories, reduced work and wages, halted enterprises', and crippled American production. Under this Republican panic suf fering has been universal; soup houses have been established and strikes have been of almost daily oc currence. The Republican party has been in control of the national gov ernment in all of its branches for the past 11 years, and now in the midst of abundant crops and bounless na tional resources it has brought about the most destructive panic in our his tory. We point to the fact that every panic which has occurred since the formation pf the Republican party was precipitated while that party was in power. Republican Party Scored. We condemn the Republican party for its efforts, in the national Coh- 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 lower house of Congress was an act of cheap, hypocritical politics, designed to corral the negro vote in the doubtful States for their presidential nominee. v We denounce the Republican party for its failure to enact during the last session of Congress a campaign pub licity bill ; but the people of the country need not expect such a meas ure to come . from a party that thrives on corruption money, and which could not carry on a cam paign or' win a national election with out corruption fundfc from favored interests. We denounce the present infamous and trust-breeding tariff imposed upon the people by x the Republican party and renew our demand for its immediate reyision, to the .end that all unfair burdens shall.be removed, and especially those upon the neces saries of life, and ihoe that enable. the trusts to extort from the people unreasonable profits and to sell their products to consumers at home at . higher prices than is 'charged for the same goocVs to foreign consumers. Wild Extravagance. We denounce the Republican party for its wild extravagance, during the last session of Congress., In the last five months the Republican Congress spent $1,200,000,000 of the people's money, levying a tax of $13 per an num on every burdened tax payer. We docnot wonder, therefore, at the pres- . a . .n frs Ann I il. . ent aencit oi ou,uuu,vuu m me yeiw nrv. and the exnected deficit of $180,000,000 at the end of the next fiscal year. The Republican billion dollar Congress of 1890 produced a Democratic victory in 1892 ; the Re publican billion cV)Uar session of the present Congress means , the trium phant election of a Democratic Pres ident in ; the coming election; ( 1 We condemns the Repnblieanljad jninistratidn f ortturningver niUUons of f dollars ? of - public money. t; its pet . banks of New .

We declare our: inflexible opposi tion;: to the methocte of - expanding Federal power at the:expense of the just powers of the State, vand we es pecially denounce the bold and revo lutionary , threat that the omission :of the States to pass laws upon subjects within their constitutional, - powers, may be'tteateVT as a surrender offtake powers into the hands of the Federal government, - which may then lawful ly proceed ; as: if such powers were possessed by it under the . constitu tion.' " V-V -' Pormised Reforms Not Given. Though promising reforms' demands ed jy the people thetitepublfeaiis i in their national . conventionr at' the be hest of favored interests, -voted down every plank looking to reforms and relief of the people, or for curbing the -.powers of the trusts. That con vention, controlled by Federal office holders, after nominating for Presi dent a life-long office-holder who was never elected by the people to any of fice, adopted a platform that on every important measure, straddles, or gives promise to the ear only to break it to the hope, and completed its work, by nominating, to the tune of Marching Tbroueh Georia,,, a can didate for Vice President who has leci in throttling every reform meas ure offered in the last session of Con gress, including a bill to meet the pressing need of the preservation of our national resources, opening wa terways and preventing the destruc tion of our forests. We have faith in the patriotism of our people, an d in , the . ultimate de velopment of the natural resources of the State, and we call upon all North Carolinians to unite Jn a com mon effort to restore prosperity, to re-establish confidence, to forget fac tional differences and to cultivate peace and good will among men.
