On State issues a pro- | test is made against the present sys-| tem of convict labor and a demand is made for regulation of public-service _ corporations, The platform is in substance as follows: A denunciation of the Payne-Al- drich tariff law as a monstrous piece of class legislation, levying tribute upon the many for the benefit of the favored few. It is a bold defiance of the public will and an utter failure to redeem the pile sag Republican promises for a reydsion of the tariff downward, by,Which promises the Republicans won in 1908, A tariff for revenue x is favored.

WILLIAMS, The Democratic party forty years ago inherited from the Republican party a State indebtedness of nearly $40,000,000 and a tax rate of 50 cents. While reducing this rate to 15 cents, by economy and constructive ability, the Democratic party established a public schoo! system not excelled by any of the imperial states of the Union, and a great university, five normal schools, homes for Union and ex-Confederate veterans, five hospi- tals for the insane, schools for the deaf and dumb and blind, homes for the feeble-minded and defective, in- dustrial and reform schools for the wayward youth, a sanitarium for suf- ferers from tuberculosis, a fruit ex- periment station and other worthy institutions, all of which have been liberally sustained: Such thrift and progressive accom- plishments are in strange contrast with the first Republican administra- tion policy as shown. by practically the. first official act of the present Repubiican Governor in sending a message to the General Assembly calling for higher assessments and a | greater rate of taxation, appealing for more revenue, and using all the in- fluence and power of his great office | ‘to procure funds for inexcusable ex- , travagances.
