HOW THE PLATFORM WAS
CHANGED.
Copy of it was Handed to a Reporter
Before it was Amended, Hence was
Published Incorrectly.
Chairman Rollins has sent out the
following1 explanation of the differ
ent wording in a plank of the Re
publican State platform. It seems
that a copy of the platform was given
to a reporter of the Post before it
wa3 amended and adopted, and the
reporter failed to note the change:
To the Republicans of North Caro
lina: The Democratic papers and the
Democratic speakers are making the
statement that the temperance plank
in the Republican State platform
which I am sending out has been
changed, and is not a copy of the
plank as it was adopted by our State
Convention. This charge is absolute
ly false, and without foundation and
simply shows to what desperate
straits the Democratic politicians
are driven for an issue. The plat
form published in the Raleigh Post,
on the morning of May 19th (the day
after the Convention), was printed
from a rough draft which was hand
ed to Mr. Pence, the reporter, before
the Convention was called to order
on May 18th, and thinking it would
be adopted as prepared, he mailed it
to the Post, without waiting for the
Convention to act upon it. The
platform as drafted was amended by
the Committee on Platforms and
Resolutions and adopted by the Con
vention as reported by the commit
tee and the platform I am sending
out is an exact copy of the platform
adopted by our Convention. The at
tached letters from Hon. T. T.
I licks, Hon. II. C. Cowles and Prof .
J. J. Britt, are self-explanatory and
corroborate what I have stated.
v Very truly,
THOMAS S. ROLLINS,
Chairman Rep. State Ex. Com.
THE REPUBLICAN TEMPERANCE PLANK
EXPLAINED BY MEMBERS OF THE
COMMITTEE ON PLATFORM
Asheville, N. C, Sept. 12th, 1904.
Mr. Thos. Rollins, Chairman Greens
boro, N. C.
Dear Sir: I was chairman of the
Committee on Platforms at the late
Republican Convention, and I wrote
every word of the temperance plank
and know that the platform sent out
by you contains the idential temper
ance plank adopted by the commit
tee and ratified by the Convention.
Very truly,
J. J. BRITT.
Henderson, N. C, Sept. 8.
To the Editor of the Morning Post :
I have read in this morning's Post
the accusation that the Republicans
have changed and are issuing a dif
ferent platform than the one adopt
ed by the Convention of Mn 18th.
The facts are that the platform as
published in the Post and News and
Observer of the 19th of May was of
fered in committee, of which I was
a member. 1 moved that the follow
ing be struck out, "but we denounce
the Democratic Legislature for the
enactment of the Watts law, for the
reason that it was conceived and en
acted for political advantage, under
the guise of temperance reform, and
for its unjust and unfair discrimina
tion in conferring rights and privi
leges upon the inhabitants of incor
, porated towns and cities which it de
nies to the citizens of the country."
There was considerable discussion
upon it, participated in by Messrs. II.
L. Grant, J udge Robinson, Hon. C.
A. Reynolds, Prof. J. J. Britt and
myself, and nearly all the other mem
bers of the committee, after which
my motion prevailed, and the words
I have quoted were not reported nor
read to- the Convention nor adopted
as a part of the platform, but were
marked around or cancelled. I was
surprised on seeing them in the pub
lished platform the next day and was
about to publish a correction, but I
doubted if one would be printed, and
seeing that it was printed correctly
in Republican papers at once as re
ported and adopted, I thought to let
the matter rest, until seeing your ac
cusation, I request the publication
of this statement.
Yours truly,
T. T. HICKS.
Statesville, N. C., Sept. 13, 1904.
Hon. Thos. S. Rollins, Chairman Re
publican State Executive Commit
tee, Greensboro, N. C.
Dear Sir : Replying to your in
quiry, I beg to say that I was a mem
ber of the Committee on Platforms
and Resolutions at the last Republi
can State Convention, and would
respectfully state that the platform
you are sending out is an exact copy
of the platform as reported by the
Convention. The statement that the
platform has been altered or amend
ed in any manner, shape or form is
absolutely without foundation.
Very truly yours,
II. C. COWLES.
