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 the FULTON TINTED LEAD. Every painter knows what It Is. It Is the best tinted lead made. Manu< lactured by F. J. COOLEDGE & SON., Atlauta. home MISSION 80CIETY DISTRICT MEETING Vrtal to The Georgian.

I;',' lal to The Georgian. Montgomery, Ala.,* Sept. 5.—It .. no" almost settled that Captain A. C. oexton, who was recently appointed a aepuiy insurance commissioner by secretary of State McDavId, will re- ;?"i that position when Frank Julian, toe new secretary of state, takes charg English China The present vogue for English China If “inply met In our charming collec- “Inner and Tea services, set* of plato.t, odd pieces—all In patterns of ‘host artistic type. Maisr & Berkele 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.

In speaking of the present trouble In Cuba, Mr. Sparkman said; “I believe, from all the Information that can be ascertained now, that the 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.” REDISTRICTING PLAN FAVORED IN MU8C0GEE. Special to The Georgian.
