REPUBLICIAN PLATFORM
The Repubiician platform as
adopted at the National Repubiician
Convention held at Cleveland, Ohio,
last week is carried in full in this
issue of the Progress for the informa
tion of its many readers.
It is a lenghty document that can
not proper r y be overlooked by a citi
zen who has at heart the welfare of
the nation.
In it can be found the announced
principles and policies of one of the
only two great political parties of the
United States, and an intimate knowl
edge of these is essential in view of
the fact that the government, with
all of its important duties and funct
ions and their close relation to the
welfare of the peop’e, must be en
trusted to either one or the other of
these parties.
The pronouncements contained in
this platform are numerous. Some
of them will meet the approval of ev
ery well meaning citizen, while others
will be objectionable to many.
The degree of sincerity with which
the party is committed to its enun- :
cip.tions must be determined by each
voter for himself. It is entitled to
unbiased judgement, and is probably
as free from ostentation as such doc
uments usually are.
Soon we shall have the declaration
of both the principal parties and then
will begin the endless wrangle of
charge and counter charge, accusa
tion and denial, with the resulting
alignment of voters accroding to a

little knowledge of the facts and
much passion and prejudice. The
time has arrived when. men should
think straight and vote straight after
having informed themselves on the
j issues of the day. It isu nfortunate
! that long before it could have know’n
j what the position ofeither party on
the great problems of the nation,
most voters w-ere already committed
according to their previous align
ment.
A FREE CONSCIENCEIN
POLITICS
The Progress isn ot afraid to carry
the Repubiician platform because it
does not belong to ar.y party, creed
or custom, and believes in a free con
science. And the Progress believes
that that will be a happy and pros
perous day for the South when she
takes the position that she is master
of her own political interests and
destiny, and does not belong to any
party, but has at heart only the best
interests of the nation and her own
good. Without attempting to hold
up the vices or virtues of either
party, it is next to the rediculous for
the South to commit herself to one
party, irrespective of what that
party’s purpose and policies are, when
the South is completely ignored in
formaulating those policies because
it is known that she will certainly be
in line. On the other hand, it is
knowm bv the Repubiician party that
the South will be opposed to every
thing listed under her banner, and,
THE LYONS PROGRESS, LYONS, GEORGIA.
therefore, all of the favors should go
to those sections where they will be
received more gratefuly.
Whether it be a Democratic, Re
pubiician or independent party, a
citizen should suport what he con
ceives to be the best interest of his
country. Our fathers who made
crimson with Southern blood the
hills and vales of Virginia did not
intend thereby to place shackles up
on the political conscience of their
children, nor chain them to the
chariots in which ride political gods
of a single stripe. The reign of a
certain party at that time was pure
ly incidental.
The South is big enough and has
the brains to make herself felt in
national affairs. She has national
principles that she believes will best
conserve her interests. Then, in
view of the fact that she is ignored
by both of the major parties, she
should institute plans of her own. It
would be unwise to pick up an indep
endant party' of another section and
hope to revise it to meet our own
needs. Southern men should repres
ent Southern principles, because a
Northerner, even a good Democratic
or independant Northerner, would
hardly have our point of view.
The only really independant party
that can arise in the United States
must come from the South.

You Can't Trust
Calomel at All
It is Mercury, Quicksilver, Sali
vates, causes Rheumatism
and Bone Decay
•'”*
The next d&se of calomel you take
may salivate you. It may shock your
liver or start bone necrosis. Calomel is
dangerous. It is mercury, quicksilver.
It crashes into sour bile like dynamite,
cramping and sickening you. Calomel
attacks the bones and should never be I
put rate your system.
If you feel bilious, headachy, ooasti- [
pated" and all knocked out, just go to
vour druggist and get a hottlb of Dod»
son’s Liver Tone for a few cents which
is a harmless vegetable substitute for
dangerous calomel. Take a spoonful and
if it doesn’t start your liver and
straighten you up better and quicker
than nasty calomel and without making -
you siok, you just go back and get yonr '
money.
Don’t take calomel! It can not be
trusted any more than a leopard or a
wild-cat. Take Dodson’s Liver Tone ,
which straightens you right up and -
makes you feel Sue. No salts necessary
Give it to the children because it is
perfectly harmless and can not salivate.
