FLATFOKM 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 aiTa irs, which have obtained in State and ocunty since its return to power in 1S99. .We congratulate the people of the S ate that, under Democratic auspices,- there nas been estaousnea throughout the borders of the State a reign of law and .liberty,; peace and progress; that 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 seurit 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 f 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 would be disfran chised thereby, have been iully 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 ameudment is recog nized and aquiesced in by all polit ical parties and is accepted as a so lution 'oi: a vexed question. . " We congratulate the jeople upon the beneficent effect, of the temper ance legislation enacted by the Dem ocratic party, and a prove and en dorse the principles "enunciated in the Watts bill and the Ward bill regulat ing the manufacture and sale of li quor. . On Education. We reailirni our constitutional de clarations that religion, morality and knowledge, being necessary to good government and the happiness of mankind, schools and means of 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 time in our educational conditions, and we promise a continuance of a four months' 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 riven them was appropriated, or iorcea Dy nemo- tne great insurance companies, wnere cratic legislation, or Democratic pub-, by money intrusted to them for the lie sentiment. We pledsre the party benefit of widows and orphans has . n n -1 1 T to a fuller discharge ot a debt that can never be fully paid to these aging heroes,'-who offered their lives as a sacrifice uixm the altars of their country. t Care of the Insane. We point witti pride to the reeoro. of the Democratic 'party .in its care ot the unfortunate classes ui 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 powTer of the corporation com mission shouid be so enlarged as to give it full and adequate powder to regulate all public service corpora tions within the State and subject to its - jurisdiction! Passenger and freight rates in North Carolina are too hierh 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. The interference by publie service corporations in political matters should be called so sharply to the oHontlnn nf the neonle . that it will be odious and the efficiency of such cor po rat ions as political agencies should thus be destroyed.''' The law against issuing-- free passes should be so amended as to make "ihV party who illegally receive' 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 ami annoyance to the traveling' public, and w'e demand such additional legislation'as may be necessary to enforce that provision of our statute, which requires connect ing lines to make as close connection as is practicable for the convenience of the traveling public. Favors Forest Reserve. -si We favor the Appalachian forest, reserve and the construction of the inland water way from Norfolk, 'Yi r ginia,"' to Beaufort inlet, North Car- oiina. viiiic ooin or inese projects involve 'great benefits to the State," thev are also of national importance The one .preserves our mountain for ests and conserves our wafer supply promotes the public health, main tains our water power and aids agri- cultHre, the latter will open up a fret outlet North and South for the water-; borne trade of eastern North Caroljna,? equalize traffic rates and promote the prosperity of our people. Its con struction will also greatly increase the coast-wise trade between the South Atlantic and - North Atlantic ports. We ursre our Senators and Representatives to continue their ef forts to secure legislation v for the es tablishnient of the 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 special privileges to none" and we condemn subsidies, gratuities, bonuses, trusts and monopolies. For "nearly ten years the Republican party has been in absolute control of all departments of national government with pewer i iu ruaugc uujuni vuiiuiiiuiis aim , iu ! rectify evils.- Yet, during that time. colossal combinations of capital have dominated the people, and illegal pen version of corporate laws have stifled competition and unfairly limited the opportunity of the individual citi zen. Wealth thereby illegally obtain ed has been" unsparingly used to con I rot legislation ana corrupt elections. No honest effort has been made, or is beinjr made, by Republican leaisla- 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- fclr, tyrannical features of the so- cailed u protective tariff" have made tliese things possible, and uo perma nent relief can be secured until its obnoxious features are removed. To remedv this evil we demand a thor ough revision of present tariff laws. Trusts Denounced. The growth of the trusts and oth er inordinate and dancrerous combina- lions 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 due 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. Ave denounce the appalling system af corruption heretofore practiced by l.i . : 1 been devoted to the -enrichment of fa vored 'individuals and to the cam paign fund of the Republican parr 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 I from the people un reasonable profits j and to sell then products to ; consumers at home ' at greater prices than are charged foi the same goods to the foreign consum er. , .' ..'' : Debate on Platform. r After the report was read Mr. Jno. D. Bellamy,-' of New: Hanover, moved that the perpetuity clause be stricken out. . y 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 ies. .Major E. J.. Hale insisted on his resolution endorsing the Chicago plat form and other things and moved that it be added to the report of the platform committee. N . S. Spenee moved as a substitute that" the resolu- j tions be laid on the table. . There were - calls for a vote. Spence's motion car ried. A division tfas called and a pollH Qt the counties taken. The. result was 351 Against and 345 for. Senator Simjnpns offered the following. substi tute 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 andifor the purpose favors such amendment to the constitution of the. United' States as 'mav be necessary.'" ; Mr. 1 1 Cameron. ! Morrison i spoke against adding "Federal judgesi" ' to the resolution. He said that it was revolutionary to talk ot electing Fed eral - judges by the people. 5 Senator Simmons said that he did not under stand the t 1 Federal judge f clause 4 to refer "(Jt 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. - Over 200 Houses Flooded.
