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.

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.
