The Democracy of Georgia, assembled In convention after the most
memorable campaign over waged before the people of this state, reaffirms
Its abiding faith In the doctrines of the party as declared by He great
founder.
We rejoice at the news from so many states and cities of the republic
them** 10 p * 013 *® are studying their rights and have determined to assert
the few pr0 *® ct * v ® fhflft taxes the masses of the people to All the pockets of
We declare our hostility to the entire system of tariff for protectfon,
and urge the next national Democratic convention to make thte 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
securfues*** nS * h0 ndu,trle * ot th ® People to pay dividends on Actltlous
.i unt® the next Democratic national convention to make this condi
tion of affaire an Issue before the people, to the end that the evils com
plained of may be remedied.
The great body 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 pave to -buy, and forc
ing down the prices of what the masses have to sell.
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 1008, when the
Democratic voters will rally to the standards of our great leader, William
Jennings Bryan.
The Democracy of Georgia 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, wo 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 servo two masters with equal fidelity to both. Thoaa men
who elect to represent special Interests and owe their flrat fealty to them,
do not deserve, and ought not to hold, party positions of dignity, Influence
and power.
The party rpacMnery nnd the government state and national, should
be completely purged of euch man. Tn 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 be permitted to hold
positions of confidence and power In the counsels of ths party. We earn
estly commend this examplo to the Democracy ot the nation and to our
Democratic brethren In every state.
Under able and uncompromising leadenhlp, the people of Georgia have
revolted against the evil tendencies which have beoome 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 Georrla, In convention as
sembled, therefore do now resolve and declare oa follows:
Wo 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 cash 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 votea cast In their respective circuits.
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 ptate senate so as to constitute every
county of the state having a population of 30,000 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 ns precedent can be applied to existing conditions. We disapprove
the action of tho recent stato executive committee In printing unnecessary
pledges BB 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 stato Into two parties, rathsr 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. Ws declare It to
bo a permanent principle of the Democratic party organisation that all quali
fied white voters In Georgia, Irrespective of 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 proteat 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 sailing of votes. Wa recognise the corruption ot
the ballot os one of the greatest evils to our system of government, and we
favor further legislation that will have the effect of disfranchising any
person found guilty of buying or sailing votes In a primary or general elec
tion. v
We recommend that appropriate legislation he passed authorising and
empowering the state and county Democratic executive committees to pats
upon and determine all contests arising from the primary elections and
that they be Invested with power to aubpena witnesses and to compel the
attendance of same.
We favor tho payment by the elate 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 eoun-
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 We believe It to be unjust to put the burden of then ex
penses upon tha candidates, because comparatively few are able to bear
the expenn of holding these elections, and the opportunity should be af
forded to the poorest dtlxen to offer for public office.
The work'of the legislature ta Inseparably connected with the work
of the state bouse officials, and we declare In favor of fixing by law a
uniform data 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 fils 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 wse used, and the source from which
It was derived.
We denounce In unqualified terms the use of money, free passes, 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 ths purity of our elections.
We demand the enactment of laws prohibiting ths giving or sceeptancs
of freo passes of every character, nnd free service of every kind by ths
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
ths corporations of the country In making contributions to campaign funds,
and ws demand ths enactment of laws to prohibit and make criminal all
such acts, and to provide suitable penalties for violations of the nm
Ws demand the enactment of laws requiring all railroad corporations
operating In this state under foreign chartors to either domesticate and
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 shall mbm t themselves to
the Jurisdiction of state courts. We regard the steady encroachment
Of the federal courts upon the rights of the states as an unwarranted ex-
tenilon of the federal authority. to deprive the indlvldu.l rltlten of the
^Mmatkma? privilege of having hts cause tried by a Jury of the vicinage.
We denounce the crime of lobbying as one of tho greatest offenses
against the public welfare.
We demand of the next generar assembly the panage 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
said body In regular seselon.
We demand, further, that all such agents and attorneys who deslro 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 Ml time to Inspection by any
person, and In which book said person so registering shall stats his name,
>lsce of residence, the person or corporation which he represents and the
egtslatlon In which he Is Interested.
The law against lobbying should also Impose severe penalties on all
persons ffuilty of violating the same. 4 _
We condemn the system by which the great railroad corporations of
the country have been permitted to Issue fabulous amount! of fictitious or
watered stocks and bonds, many times In excess J h ® ya,u ® * h ® pr ®l}*
erty upon which they are based. We look upon this great evil gs the pri
mary cause of excessive freight rates.
The constitution of Georgia Imposes upon the general assembly the
duty of wss’ng laws from time to time to prohibit the various railroads of
Georgia «‘ ar «' a * mor « than Ju,t ond "“""able rates for the transporta
tion of freight and passengers.
The method heretofore adopted for carrying out this command has been
throurh the Instrumentality of a railroad commission. This commission Is
rtESSd with the duty of securing for the people of the state reasonable
Bnd u“Vtand!f h s t s a the P mMhlne r ry“ , provlded by law to Protect the public
against oppression by the transportation companies. If the members of
this commission do not discharge the duty Imposed upon them, they fell
to protect the Interests of the public, and should resign or he removed.
Their reasons are Immaterial. Personal considerations cannot be admit
ted The public welfare must not wait on formalltr. Ths people of Geor
gia are entitled to Just rates from the carriers, and no rates can be Just
The 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 sea.
Water transportation Is claimed to he the controlling factor In the estab
lishment and maintenance of freight rates. The rivers and harbors of
Georgia should be a factor In framing tho rate exncted of the peoplo of
Georgia. It Is the duty of the' commission to demand of the transporta
tion companies rates baaed upon our proximity to the ocean. If the com
mission will not, or cannot, under the circumstances, command rates thatnre
reasonable and Just, then the commissioners should either be removed and
others put In their places, nr a new body should he created with enlarged
powers rulTielent tn demand nnd enforce the Just rights of the people.
We recognize the right of the railroads to a reasonable profit upon
their Investment. We recognise their right to protection by Inw In all
their legitimate Interests. -We make no attack upon their right to do busi
ness and earn a i-n-nimhle prntit upon their capital. We shall HlwnYs
uphold and maintain such rights, ami we pledgo tho good faith of the
Democratic party of Georgia to the fullest protection of these corporations
In the legitimate exercise of their privileges and tho protection of tholr
property, but we deny tholr right to discriminate against the people of
Georgia by flrat 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 wntered storks
and fictitious securities.
READJUSTMENT OF FREIGHT8 RATES DEMANDED,
We demnfid an Immediate leveling of Intra-state rates to tho boats of
yielding no more thon a reasonable return upon the money Invested, and the
abolishment of all discriminations against the people of this state, In favor
ot the people of other states.
We demand the Immediate repeal of all preferential rote* above the
standard tariff which the main railroad systems of Georgia are permitted
to charge.
We demand that the railroad commission of Georgia ehall take Im
mediate steps upon these Important matters, so os to place the shippers
and consumers of this state upon equal footing with their competitors else
whore.
Wa call especial attention to the Immediate necessity for a-reduction
of rates from our seaports to and from all Interior points. Wo nro situated
upon the seaboard. Our coast opens to us the waterways of the world.
Tills la an Inestimable natural advantage of which we are deprived by
the excessive rates enacted to ond from the ports to tho Interior. The de
struction of all competition botween railroads In Georgia, by tho owner
ship tn a few Individuals of all these great properties, enables tho rail
road corporations apparently without let or hindrance to place Georgia "at
the pinnacle of high freight rotes,” to destroy whatever advontagee we
should derive from proximity to deep water navigation, and as a conse
quence lower ratee are enjoyed by cities In other states all around us.
xvherc competition still exists, than are granted to Georgia cities and
towns. This anomalous condition Is explained and excused upon tho
ground that those cities are accessible to river transportation.
IF COMMISSION FAIL, INTERPOSITION IS SUGGESTED.
We condomn these excessive nnd discriminating port rates ns unjust,
and we demand the Immediate righting of these wrongs by the railroad
commission. If the commission falls to carry out our demands, we call
upon the executive and legislative departments of the government to use
their utmost authority to tiring about a proper reduction of ratos to and
■from the ports to the Interior, as well as rates within the state.
We demand the Issuance of general Interchangeable mileage books at
a price not exceeding 830 per thousand miles; and we urge upon the rail
road commission an Immediate and thorough Investigation of the question
as 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 line 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 nnd determination to
compel the railroads to accede to our re. ■ i.ibir and lost demands.
We favor Increasing the powers of the commission to such an extent
that It can enforce Its orders, by suitable, swift nnd certain procedure. We
also favor the enactment ot such laws as will make the wilful refusal of
railroad corporations or any of their agents to obey the ordera of the com
mission, a penal offense, to be punished by line or Imprisonment, or both.
WARNING AGAINST HASTY 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. Wo 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 net
of December 21, 1116, under which It was built, contemplated Its ultimate
extension to the sea. Circumstances caused that plan temporarily to be
laid aalde. But the time haa 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, nnd 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 dlvldo our people and by means of
the corrupt and venal negro vote, retain the balance of power.
A3 TO NEGRO DISFRANCHISEMENT.
We favor the adoption of an educational qualification for voting, along
thf lines followed by our sister states of Virginia. North Carolina, South
Carolina, Atabamn, Mississippi and Loulslnnn. Tho amendment ought to
be so drafted as to exelude the largest possible percentage of the Ignorant
and purchasable negro vote, under the limitations Imposed by the federal
constitution. At ths same time. It must be carefully drawn ee ax to protect
and safeguard In their right to vote and to provide for the permanent
registration for life of all cltlsens who hare served In any of the ware in
which this country has bsen engaged, nnd their desrendants, nnd also nil
persons of good character who understand the responsibilities and duties
of cltlxenshlp under repo- ■» f"rm "f government, we believe till. 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 modlflcatlona aa may be necessitated by
local conditions In Georgia.
Wa 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 and 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 hsreln set out, and demand at their hands such legisla
tion aa will carry these reforms Into effect.

"I believe, from all the Information

amount to but little, and any uprising
of this character will be equally fu
tile."
When asked If he thought there was
any danger ot annexation, Mr. Spark
man expreasod a negative opinion.
No,” he continued, "the uprising haa
not gone far enough to Justify any such
belief, nor do I believe conditions can
msslbly arise—certainly not In the near
uturs—whsn annexation would be Jue-
tlfled or sanctioned. At present I
would say that In no event would the
K ite*, either of Cuba or ot this coun-
r, favor annexation."
