DEMOCRATS ARE LOYAL
CONVENTION ASSUMES CHARACTER
OF PATRIOTIC RALLY.
Tillman Makes Ringing Speech.?Pollock
Scathes Former Governor
in His Keynote Address.
Columbia, May 15.?The State
Democratic convention, which convened
in the hall of the house of representatives
here at noon today, was
electrified by an address, delivered
bv W. P. Pollock, of Cheraw, per
manent president, who scathingly attacked
the reputed utterances of a
former governor. Mr. Pollock, how.
ever did not name the former goverHk
nor, but the inference was unmistakj^^Bable.
The convention was rocked by
^^Hcheers at the Chesterfield man's causand
biting remarks.
Senator B. R. Tillman, on invita^^ tion,
read an address to the convention,
in which he briefly outlined his
political career, and told of his service
to the nation and his devotion
H to the national administration. He
stated that duty alone decided him to
V ask for reelection to the Senate for
W a fifth time. The senator read his
speech in a clear voice and frequently
interlined it with extraneous matter.
He was enthusiastically received and

supporters.
Pollock Was Unopposed.
W. P. Pollock, of Cheraw, was unopposed
for reelection as temporary
and permanent chairman, of the convention.
His nomination was seconded
by the delagation from Edgefield,
t Sumter, Chester, Pickens, Florence,
Spartanburg and Kershaw. His name
was placed in nomination by Senator
G. K. Laney, of Chesterfield. H.
G. Senseney, of Charleston, and J.
Wilson Gibbes, of Columbia, were
elected temporary and permanent
secretaries. Without opposition, A.
E. Hutchinson, of Rock Hill, was
unanimously chosen reading clerk.
The convention, in its entirety, was
9xtremely harmonious and of superpatriotism.
Every utterance and the
frequent applause of its members
demonstrated that it was whole
heartedly in favor of the war, behind
the national administration, and
would tolerate nothing but unadulterated
Americanism. The committee
on platform and resolutions consider
ed a resolution instructing the general
assembly to pass a referendum
resolution placing the question of
suffrage for women in the general
election, but rejected it by a majority
vote.
Abolition of the county-to-county
canvass was discussed in the committee,
but did not get as far as a motion.
Neither question was brought
on the floor of the convention. This
afternoon the convention elected
John Gary Evans, of Spartanburg,
chairman of the State executive committee,
and the latter body elected
Ashley C. Tobias, Jr., of Columbia,
as secretary and Gen. Wilie Jones, as
treasurer. The committee, at its
meeting, decided to invest $1,000 of
its surplus funds in Liberty bonds.
This was done on the motion of Legare
Walker, of Summerville.
The date of the opening of the campaign,
the fixing of the assessments
and the arrangement of the county-tocounty
itinerary was left with a subcommittee,
composed of Edgar A.
ProTrn rtf "Rotti Tirol 1 T \f "\Tonror r\f
Walterboro, and Gen. Wilie Jones, of
Columbia. The committee expects to
make a report in the next few days.
The following platform, breathing patriotism
and upholding the war aims
of America and President Wilson was
adopted by the convention, reaffirming
its allegiance to the principles of
the party as expressed in that platform
adopted by the national convention
in St. Louis:
Platform is Adopted.
"In this great crisis which confronts
our government and all governments
of civilized nations of the
world, we congratulate the people of
the Union that the destinies are in the
hands of a democratic leader, whose
love of democracv. human liberty and i
Christian civilization has been exhibited
in a manner to command the
admiration and respect of the people
t of the world, irrespective of race or
nationality.
?"We earnestly appeal to our people
to realize and recognize that we are
engaged in an American war. a war
against imperialism and militarism
wherever existing; a war for the preservation
and perpetuation of American
principles and ideals; for the freedom
of commercial relations that will
give to our farmers and producers
the right to sell their products in the
markets of the world and to obtain
therefor a price obtained by honest
^ competition, free from imperialistic
decrees which must lead finally to
vassalage, and a return to feudalism.
Representatives Commended.
"We commend the conduct of our
representatives in congress who have
been loyal and true to these principles
and who have had the vision to foresee
the results of an unsuccessful termination
of this war, and who have

had the manhood to support the president
by a declaration of war against
the enemies of democracy, and we
pledge our minds, our lives and our
resources to securing a victory that
will bring a permanent peace to the
world. We believe that such a permanent
peace can only be obtained
by the absolute subjugation of Germany
and her allies.
"We recognize in the selective
draft act the only fair and equitable
means by which our naval and military
forces have been recruited and
placed upon a war basis, whereby the
rich and the poor, the high and low
are brought to the defense of a common
cause, which equally affects us
all.
"In meeting the expenses of the
war, which necessarily bear heavily
upon our people, we call upon them
to exercise the greatest self-denial,
economy and patriotic duty by lending
their financial, moral and physical
abilities, which alone can secure
a successful termination of the war.
"We express our unbounded admiration
for the heroic deeds and endurance
our country's allies who have
borne and are enduring with such
splendid fortitude and courage the
horrors and brutalities of a war
forced upon them and us by a brutal
and savage foe. We urge upon our
people to stamp out any and all disloyalty
on the part of any of our
| citizens by word or deed, who are
contributing to the success of our
enemies and we pledge to our sons
who are bleeding and dying at the
I front for our liberties, that our home
fires shall be kept burning, and we
pray God that they may return to us
with the glories of victory upon their
arms."
