only, tO (lstroy f:amuiy gowKrnmentn alienate children f2ma thir parems, and force the home into a sense of strife, rebellion and wretchedness." The Bible says a great deal about obedience to parent. and reverence for parents and., believing in that Book and its teachings as strongly as I do, I say to the parents, tor the sake of their children, our country and for the future, keep within your own con trol the rearing and education of your own children, and strike down by your ballot every effort to deprive you of the same. Our people fight force bills in congress and they had better fight this one at home. (e) I am opposed to the higher edu cation of the negro race, and in fav or of the taxes paid by white people going to and being used only for the education of the white children. (f) I am in favor of a strict enforce ment of the vagrancy laws. (g) I am in favor of a law requir ing either a marriage certificate or the registration of all marriages iii the office of the clerk of the court of the county in which the marring takes place. (h) I am in favor of a fiat rue of 2 1-2 cents per mile on railroads in this State, but am opposed to the rules now in fore on the railroads as to mileage books and charging 17 cents excess. (i) I am in favor of good roads, good morals, and honest governineni. (j) As to the wniskey qution. I am satisfied that the people of th& State are tired of the agitation along this line. I favor local option, and, tu c-der to be strictly Democradle and allcw self-government and honerule, I favor extending the present jaw, so as to allow a county to have hicense, if the mapority of her whit1 citizens -vish it, as other counties hava dis j.ensary or prohibition. Ho.v-r,, if ?i tnse is voted, I favor the most rig orous enforce-ut oi ,ne sie it) the s.le in this manner, pr-!iing under any circumstances, any whiskey being sold in less quantities than one-half pint, or between sunset and sunup, and prohibit it from being drunk on the premises, or being sold, under any circumstances, to minors or inebriates, or behind closed doors or screens, pro hibiting any obscene pictures on the premises, or any billiard or pool rooms connected therewith, and providing that any person holding a license who shall violate any provison of the law shall violate any provision of the law forfeit his license and be forever thereafter barred from being licensed, and in addition be imprisoned at hard labor in the State penitentiary with out the alternative of a fine. I am ab solutely opposed to the old bar-room system and would under no circum stances sign a bill to reinstate that system. (k) I am opposed to any law re stricting the rights of Democrats to vote in the primary elections, other than is provided for in the rules adopt ed by the State convention, which provides as follows: "That no white man shall be excluded from partici pation in the Democratic primary who shall take the pledge required by the rules of the Democratic party, and .whose name has been enrolled on the Democratic club list five days before the primary election, and who is otherwise qualified under the consti tution and rules of the Democratic party to- vote in the primary elec tion." The oath referred to is as follows: "I do solemnly swear that I am duly qualified to vote at this elec tion according to the rules of the Dem ocratic party, and that I have not vot ed before at this election, and pledge myself to support the nominees of this primary." Rule 2 provides that no person shall be permitted to vote un less he has been enrolled on a club list at least five days before the pri mary election, and unless he has been a resident of the State one year, and of the county in which he seeks en rollment 60 days preceding the next general election. It is, therefore, seen that the claptrap, so-called argu ment that people are allowed to vote in the primary elections who have only been in the county for a few days or in the State for a short time is ab solutely unfounded and unwarranted, because these provisions which I have cited make it absolutely imperative that in order to vote in the primary one shall have been in the State one year and in the county 60 days pre ceding the general election, and this 4 absolutely prevents any man from voting in the primary election who is what is commonly called a floater. In my opinion, this is amply strong, and any law passed by the legislature further abridging the right of suffrage in the primary would be vetoed by me immediately if I were governor. (1) I am -in favor of running the government on a liberal, but not ev travagant basis, (as is now being done) and in making our tax levy both county and State, as low as pos sible for a safe and economical man agement of our financial affairs; and of reducing expenses. abolishing use less positions, stodping extravagant appropriations for any purpose, stop ping the useless expenditure of money by officials, stopping the creation of useless offices, and all other methods of reckless, careless or useless ex penditure of money that causes an in crease in the tax levied upon our people, for our taxes are too high. and our people are now too heavily burdened with taxation. I fully believe that the grandest, most perfect and most independeLit form of government is a poor govern ment and a rich people. When you make a rich government, and thereby ifiproverish the people, or make a poor people, . you reverse Democracy and create dissatisfaction and discon tent among the people, who are the masters and not the ser gants, as some would have us thling:. For me,. ginE me a poor government and a rich peo ple, in place of a ria government anu a poor people for the nmera moniey tb t you give your legislatare the control of. the more exrra':nvmI W 1 h f appropriations and expenditures. U - der our present management the idea seems to be to raise the tax levy hiigh~ er, making assessments higher. ma more extravaganit appropriations, andl spend the people's money useless'y, making both the people and the gov ermeont poor. for the benefit of a few, vho lold nolic nosmons and zr z irge salarI s. ani who are *-!vi:1L create an aristocracy, not of blood, s not of brains, but of money. ti (m) I am in favor of the constitu- a tional amendment to be voted upon: in the general election providing for P a fifth justice of the supreme court, and in favor of making the decision a of the supreme court in any case the 9 final disposition of that particular case in so far as the State courts are concerned, unless that court itself 14 shall for good and sufficient legal rea sons afterwards brought to its atten tion change its decision. Trifling with Y the courts, as is now being done, b should be stopped. And in order to bring this about I am in favor of such c laws being passed as may be neces- p sary, even if it require a constitu- s tional amendment. t (n) I am in favor of all laws thatv will favor and protect labor in all its S legitimate callings and endeavors, and S such laws that will protect capital in e all its lawful investments, and the ] good old Democratic doctrine. "Equal rights to all and special privileges to , none" in each branch of the govern- a ment and particularly in the enforce ment of all laws. I have been advocating these prin- n ciples for years in the house, in the senate and on the stump in my home ti county and throughout the State, and h have stood squarely upon them out in n the open and never waited to see which would be the popular side be-, fore taking a stand. Even when some A of them were very unpopular and it I seemed that any man who dared ad- Ij vocate them was doomed to political a I oblivion I stood by them and made the t, fight to keep them up and begged the b people not to be deceived, but to hear p me for my cause, and now we see b some who did not stand for them, or i who, if they did were afraid to ac knowledge it, endeavoring to push me b off my platform and yelling to the s people that they and Betsey killed e the bear and that they are the logical t candidate. If there be a logical can- b didate upon these principles or upon i a financial platform for a more econo- t mical form of government, and for re- a duction in appropriations and a busi- , ness man's administration, I submit to you, the people, that I am the man, e standng upon my past record as can- f didate, legislator and citizen. I beg to C call your attention to the fact that two N years ago I received forty two thous- c and and one hundred votes for this t position. From the information that I have t received I am satisfied that I will be elected and if so, I promise you a fair i and impartial administration of all the e dutes of the office and in so far as my e power lies a reduction in expenses and an honest enforcement of what- p ever laws may now be upon your f statute books, or may be placed there Iby the properly constituted authori- i Ities.

The supreme task of the hour is to a save society, your State, your nation from the hands of the despoilers. il Get together and build a rampart of p moral standard, statute, inspection, e and publicity, to check tke onslaught i: of internal enemies.

Vice tl weakens and destroys the body and in d the end its wage is death, while the b sinner, unchecked by society makes C his way upward towards the sunshine p and approval. Vice drags down into y Idarkness the individual, while the sin- g ner, sleek is honored and envied. He is unpunished and unrepentant, yea, a arrogant and daring, to the shock of a the righteous, disheartening the weak. and denmoralizing, the young, who for a r Ifew years, at least, should cherish the t: ennobling illusions that the right al- a ways triumphs..s The greatest sinners make of rehi- a. gion a hollow mockery and with their money make it a cloak to hide their il sins, while they subsidize the com- h munity, the newspapers and the pul- t: Fourteen years ago I relt it nmy un avoidable duty to expose to you a gov- r ernor, who was then manning your n State dispensary for the purpose of t1 robbery.
