PLATFORM OF GEORGIA DEMOCRATIC PARTY
AS ADOPTED BY STATE CONVENTION AT MACON
Firm Position Taken on Disfranchisement,
Control of Railroads and South
Carolina Primary Plan.
The Democracy of Georgia, assembled In convention after the most
memorable campaign ever waged before the people of this state, reaffirms
Its abiding faith In the doctrines of the party as declared by Its great
founder.
We rejoice at the new. from so many atates an<j cities of the republic
themth° poople are studying their rights and have determined to assert
The protective tariff taxes the masses of the people to fill the pockets of
the few.
We declare our hostility to the entire system of tariff for protection,
and urge the next national Democratic convention to moke this Issue before
the people In a simple and unmistakable manner.
The great transportation companies have Issued millions of dollars of
stocks and bonds In excess of the money put Into their properties, and
they are taxing the Industries of the people to pay dividends on fictitious
securities.
„ 'Ye urge the next Democratic national convention to make this condi
tion of affairs an Issue before the people, to the end that the evils com
plained of may be remedied.
. 7 be _f reat bo<J y of the people throughout the United States have suf
fered during recent years from the Inexcusable burdens placed on them by
the trusts, forcing up the prices of what the masses have to buy. and forc-
lng down the prices of what the masses have to sell. v
We urge the next Democratic national convention to make an open,
plain attack upon these monopolies and present the necessity for their sup
pression as an Issue before the peoDle.
These Issues must culminate In the political battle of 1908, when the
Democratic voters will rally to the standards of our great leader, William
Jennings Bryan.
The Democracy of Oeorgla pledges Its earnest and loyal support to the
cause of the people In that struggle.
With an abiding faith In the justice of our cause, we give hearty In
dorsement to the great commoner from Nebraska, and earnestly declare In
favor of his nomination for the presidency as the man of all others who will
lead the Democratic hosts to certain victory.
No man can serve two masters with equal fidelity to both. Those men
who elect to represent special Interests and owe their first fealty to them,
do not deserve, and ought not to hold, party positions of dignity, Influence
and power.
The party tpacMnery and the government, state and national, should
be completely purged of such men. In our own state, by the overwhelming
verdict of the people. It has become the settled policy of the Democratic
party that representatives of special Interests will not bo permitted to hold
positions of Confidence and power In the counsels of the party. We earn
estly commend this example to the Democracy of the nation and to our
Democratic brethren In every state.
Under able and uncompromising leadership, the people of Georgia have
revolted against the evil tendencies which have become well-nigh universal,
and have appointed this convention to set the helm aright and renew the
promise of good government
We, the representatives of the Democracy of Georgia, in convention as
sembled, therefore do now resolve and declare as fallows:
We declare It to be the policy of the Democratic party of Georgia that
hereafter all primary elections for United States senators, state house of
ficers, supreme court and appellate court judges, should such latter
court be created, shall be by direct popular vote.
MAJORITY PLAN DEMANDED.
The candidate who, upon the consolidation of the votes throughout the
entire state, receives a majority of all the votes cast shall be declared the
nominee of the party for that office. If no candidate shall receive a ma
jority of the total vote cast, the two candidates for any office receiving the
highest number of votes cast, and no others, shall run In a second primary;
and the candidate receiving a majority of the votes cast In the second pri
mary shall be declared the party's nominee. For judges and solicitors by
a plurality of the votes cast In their respective clrculte. *
We demand the passage of a general primary election law, to carry Into
effect the foregoing recommendations. We urge the adoption of a consti
tutional amendment Increasing the estate senate so as to constitute every
county of the state having a population of 20,000 or more Into separate
senatorial districts, the remaining counties to be redistricted, placing not
exceeding three counties to a senatorial district.
The state Democratic executive committee shall be a ministerial and ex
ecutive body only. Its duties shall be discharged with judicial Impartiality.
It shall not assume unusual authority and shall be guided by precedent In
so far as precedent can be applied to existing conditions. We disapprove
the action of the recent state executive, committee In printing unnecessary
pledges as a caption to the ballot. Such action was unwise, contrary to the
unbroken custom of the party, and calculated to divide the white people of
the state Into two parties, rather than build up the Democratic party, by
obliteration of factional lines. Moreover, we regard such action as opening a
wide possibility In the future for the usurpation of power. We declare It to
be a permanent principle of the Democratic party organization that all quali
fied white voters In Georgia, Irrespective of
ilvei
t all qui
past political affiliations, who In

good faith desire to align themselves with the party, are cordially Invited to
do so, upon the sole condition that they will abide the result of the party
primary and support the party nominations.
We demand that every safeguard be thrown around our primary and
general elections to protect the purity of the ballot. We Indorse and ap
prove the law passed at the recent session of the- legislature prohibiting
the employment of workers at the polls, or In advance of the election, as
well as the buying and selling of votes. ' We recognise the corruption of
the ballot as one of the greatest evils to our system of government, and we
favor further legislation that will have the effect of dlifranchlelng any
person found guilty of buying or selling votes In a primary or general elec
tion.
We recommend that appropriate legislation be passed authorising and
empowering the state and county Democratic executive committees to pass
upon and determine all contests arising from the primary elections and
that they be Invested with power to subpena witnesses and to compel the
attendance of same.
We favor the payment by the state of the expense of holding primary
and general elections for United States senators and state house officers
by the counties composing the congressional and senatorial districts for
the election of members of congress and state senators, by the coun
ties composing the judicial circuits, for the election of judges and solici
tors. By the counties, for.the election of members of the legislature and
county officials. Wc believe It to be unjust to put the burden of these ex
penses upon the candidates, because comparatively few are able to bear
the expense of holding these elections, and the opportunity should be af
forded to the poorest citizen to offer for public office.
The work of the legislature is Inseparably connected with the work
of the state house officials, and we declare In favor of fixing by law a
uniform date for nominating our state house officers, members of con
gress, judges, solicitors and all members of the state legislature.
We favor a uniform system throughout the state of nominating the
county officers on the same day, and fixing by law the date for same.
We favor legislation requiring all candidates for public office to publish
In detail, and file with the proper officials, on oath and by Item, the cam
paign expenses Incurred by them, the amount of money used In such
campaign, the purpose for which It was used, and the source from which
It was derived.
We denounce In unqualified terms the use of money, free parses, tele
graph, telephone and express franks and other Improper means by indi
viduals or corporations, for the purpose of Influencing or buying votes, or
In any way corrupting the purity of our elections.
We demand the enactment of laws prohibiting the giving or acceptance
of free passes of every character, and free service of every kind by the
transportation and public service corporations of this state, except to
employees of such corporations and members of their families.
We denounce as a crime against the public welfare the practice of
the corporations of the countiy In making contributions to campaign funds,
and we demand the enactment of laws to prohibit and make criminal all
such acts, and to provide suitable penalties for violations of the same.
We demand the enactment of laws requiring all rallrdad corporations
operating In this Btate under foreign charters to either domesticate apd
operate under Georgia charters, or that they be required to secure a proper
permit or license for operation In Georgia, which permit or license shall
only be granted upon the condition that they ohall aubmlt themselves to
the Jurisdiction of state courta. We regard the steady encroachment
of the federal courta upon the rights of the elates an an unwarranted ex
tension of the federal authority, to deprive the Individual citlsen of the
constitutional privilege of having Mb cause tried by a Jury of the vicinage.
We denounce the crime of lobbying as ono of the greatest offenses
against the public welfare.
We demand of the next general assembly the passoge of a law clearly
defining this offense, prohibiting any employed agents or attorneys from
addressing or speaking to members of the general assembly In regard to
anticipated or pending legislation, except before the proper committee of
nald body In regular session.
We demand, further, that all such agents and attorneys who desire to
present, their views In regard to legislation, shall register their names with
the secretary of the senate and speaker of the house In a book kept by each
for that purpose, which book shall be open at nil time to Inspection by any
person, and In which book said person so registering ohall state his name,
place of residence, the person or corporation which he represents and the
legislation In which he Is Interested.
The law against lobbying should also Impose severe penalties on all
persons guilty of violating the ratne. . „ .. , m
We condemn the system by which the great railroad corporations of
the country have been permitted to Issue fabulous amounts of fictitious or
watered stocks and bonds, many times In excess of ths value of the prop
erty upon which they are based. We look upon this great evil as the pri
mary cause of excessive freight rates.
The constitution of Georgia Imposes upon the general assembly the
duty of passing laws from time to time to prohibit the various railroads of
Georgia charging more than Just and reasonable rates for the transporta
tion of freight and passengers.
The method heretofore adopted for carrying out this command has been
through the Instrumentality of a railroad commission. This commission Is
charged with the duty of securing for the people of the state reasonable
(tnd lust freight ami paBHenger rates.
It stands a, the machinery provided by law to protect the public
aralnst oppression by the transportation companies. If the members of
this commission do not discharge the duty Imposed upon them, they fall
to protect the Interests of the public, and should resign or be removed.
Their reasons are Immaterial. Personal considerations cannot be admit
ted The public welfare must not wait on formality. The people of Geor
gia’ are entitled to Just rates from the carrier*, and no rate* cun be Ju«t
that are higher than the rates granted to people in surrounding states un
der similar conditions.
Tht geographical situation of Georgia, her extensive sea coast, and
proximity to deep water navigation, entitle our people to as cheap freight
rates as are given to the people In neighboring states similarly situated,
and cheaper than the rates that "are given In states remote from the sed.
Water transportation Is claimed to be the controlling factor In the estab
lishment ana maintenance of freight rates. The rivers and harbors of
Georgia should be a factor In framing the rate exacted of the people of
Georgia. It Is the duty of the' commission to demand of the transporta
tion companies rates based upon our proximity to the ocean. If the com
mission will not. or cannot, under the circumstances, command rates that are
reasonable and Just, then the commissioners should either be removed and
others put In their places, or a now body should be created with enlarged
powers sufficient to demand and enforce the just rlghta of the people.
We recognize the right of the railroads to a reasonable profit upon
their InvestineM. We recognize their right to protection by law In all
their legitimate Interests. We make no attack upon their right to do busi
ness and earn a reasonable profit upon their capital. We shall alwifya
uphold and maintain such rights, and we pledge the good faith of the
Democratic party of Georgia to the fullest protection of these corporations
In the legitimate exercise of their privileges and the protection of their
property, but we deny their right to discriminate against the people of
Georgia by first establishing a monopoly of the transportation lines, and
then, through the power of such monopoly, exacting higher rates than are
charged elsewhere, for the purpose of paying dividends upon watered stocks
and fictitious securities.
READJUSTMENT OF FREIGHTS RATE8 DEMANDED.
We demand an Immediate leveling of Intra-atate rates to the basis of
yielding no more than a reasonable return upon the money Invested, and the
abolishment of all discriminations against the people of this state, In favor
of the people of other states.
We demand the Immediate repeal of all preferential rates above the
standard tariff which the main railroad systems of Georgia are permitted
to charge.
We demand that the railroad commission of Georgia shall take Im
mediate steps upon these Important matters, so as to place the shippers
and consumers of this state upon equal footing with their competitors else
where.
We call especial attention to the Immediate necessity for a reduction
of rates from our seaports to and front all Interior points. We are situated
upon the seaboard. Our coast opens to us the waterways of the world.
This Is an Inestimable natural advantage of which we are deprived by
the excessive rates enacted to and from the porta to the Interior. The de
struction of all competition between railroads In Georgia, by the owner
ship In a few Individuals of all these great properties, enables the rail
road corporations apparently without let or hindrance to place Georgia "at
the pinnacle of high freight rates," to destroy whatever advantages wo
should derive from proximity to deep water navigation, and ns a conse
quence lower rates are enjoyed by cities In other states all around us,
where competition still exists, than are granted to Georgia cities and
towns. This anomalous condition Is explained and excused upon the
ground that those cities are accessible to river transportation.
IF COMMISSION FAIL, INTERPOSITldN IS SUGGESTED.
We condemn these excessive and discriminating port rates as unjust,
and we demand the immediate righting of these wrongs by the railroad
commission. If the commission falls to carry out our demands, we coll
upon the executive and legislative departments of the government to use
their utmost authority to bring about a proper reduction of rates to and
from the ports to the Interior, us well as rates within the state.
We demand the Issuance of general Interchangeable mileage books at
a price not exceeding 820 per thousand miles; and we urge upon the rail
road commission an Immediate and thorough investigation of the question
ns to whether or not the passenger business of the railroads does not now
Justify the adoption of a general passenger rate of 2 cents per mile.
We favor the abolishment of the present requirement that each of the
commissioners shall be skilled In some particular lino of business, thus
restricting the choice of Individuals for the office of railroad commissioner
to comparatively few people. We favor opening this high and responsible
office to all men who have the necessary Intelligence and determination to
compel the railroads to accede to our reasonable and Just demands.
We favor Increasing the powers of the commission to such an extent
that It can enforce Its orders, by suitable, swift and certain procedure. We
also favor the enactment of such laws as will make the wilful refusal of
railroad corporations or any of their agents to obey the orders of the com
mission, a penal offense, to be punished by fine or Imprisonment, or both.
WARNING AGAINST HA8TY SALE OR LEASE OF STATE ROAD.
In this connection and as a subject Intimately connected with these
remedial processes, we Invite the special attention of the general assembly
to the present situation and possible future of the Western and Atlantic
railroad, the property of the state of Georgia. We believe this property
should never be sold or leased without the fullest warning to the people
and the fullest opportunity for an ascertainment of the public will. The act
of December 21, 1836, under which It was built, contemplated Its ultimate
extension to the sea. Circumstances caused that plan temporarily to be
laid aside. But the time has come for the general assembly to seriously
consider the question of Its resumption.
The white primary evolved out of our perplexities Is a marvelous tri
umph of self government, and should always be retained and strengthened.
Back of It, however, stands the lowering threat that whenever the hosts of
privilege need support, they will seek to divide our people and by means of
the corrupt and yenal negro vote, retain the balance of power.
AS TO NEGRO DISFRANCHI8EMENT.
We favor the adoption of an educational qualification for voting, along
the ltnea followed by our sister states of Virginia, North Carolina, South
Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi and Louisiana. The amendment ought to
be so drafted os to exclude the largest possible percentage of the Ignorant
and purchasable negro vote, under the limitations Imposed by the federal
constitution. At the same time, It must be carefully drawn so as to protect
and safeguard In their right to vote and to provide for the permanent
registration for life of alt citizens who have served In any of the wars In
which this country has been engaged, and their descendants, and also all
persona of good character who understand the responsibilities and duties
of citizenship under republican form of government. We believe this re
sult can be obtained by an amendment to our constitution substantially
similar to the suffrage provision of the recent constitution of the state of
Alabama, with such changes' or modifications as may be necessitated by
local conditions In Georgia.
We pledge the faith of the Democratic party to the people of Georgia
that the Democratic members of the general assembly, to be chosen In the
ensuing election, shall In good faith nnd without delay, submit such an
amendment to the people for their ratification or rejection In the general
election to be held In October.
We earnestly direct the attention of the general assembly of Georgia
to all the things herein set out, and demand at their hands such legisla
tion as will carry these reforms Into street.

Washington, Sept. 5.—Representative
S. M. Sparkman, of the Tampa, Fla.,
district. Is In Washington. In speaking
of the present trouble In Cuba, Mr.
Sparkman said;
“I believe, from all the Information

present Insurrection In Cuba will
amount to but little, and any uprising
of this character will be equally fu
tile.”
When asked If he thought there was
any danger of annexation, Mr. Spark
man expressed a negative opinion.
"No,” he continued, "the uprising has
not gone far enough to Justify any such
belief, nor do I believe conditions can
possibly arise—certainly not In the near
future—when annexation would be Jus
tified or sanctioned. At present I
would say that In no event would the
police, either of Cuba or of this coun
try, favor annexation.”
