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 | M |M|M|«M > 44444444444'ft44444444444444444444*44444444*4*444.

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. HARDENS CHAPEL NEWS Mr. Wright Anderson spent awhil with his mother, Mrs. J. E. Meadow Sunday morning.
