The Platform. . Following is the full text of the platform adopted: “The Democratic party of South Carolina in convention assembled re affirms its allegiance to the prin ciples of the party aa announced by Jefferson in the long line of Demo cratic Presidents, and so ably fol lowed and expounded by Woodrow Wilson. • Finance and Tariff. For the first time since the War Between the Sections a Southern man has been called to preside over th* affairs of this republic. While »e are deeply grateful for this evi dence of restored confidence on the part of the entire people of the Unl- M States, we hail It as true Ameri cans as the best evidence of a uni- led country and the indorsement of an administration that has for Its °nly purpose the happiness and pros- T*»ritv of the people. Wc commend the foreign and domestic policy of Treoident Wilson as meeting every Ideal of American statesmanship and diplomacy, exhibiting to the world that the greatest government of the People can rise above selfishness and *°rdid advantages of unfortunate and horrible existing conditions and be govfrned alone by the law of hu manity. In his successful efforts to avoid cntaglements in 'foreign wars.- the President has our unqualified admir ation and indorsement. We are un alterably opposed to war in principle and the horrible consequences that must befall any people engagft therein.. At the same time we hoL above any price the national honor, and we are in favor of an army and navy sufficiently large to guarantee the protection of this country against foreign aggression; but we earnest ly oppose the creation of any armed force on sea or land that would tend to imperil the superiority of the civil authority over the military, calcula- ed to destroy the very foundation of the republic. Would Tax Incomes. “We believe that the tariff law e*- acted by a Democratic Congress meets th? approval of all good citl zens; is just to the producer and the consumer; but should the same prove injust to the producer and the con sumer; but should the same prove Inadequate to furnish funds suffi cient to meet the expenses of the government, economically adminis tered. we are in favor of any deficit being raised by a tax upon incomes and inheritances of the wealthier classes, and not iupon the reasonable Incomes of the producers of our country. !“We congratulate the party in furnishing to the country a banking system free from the control of the moneyed interests, furnishing to our country a flexible currency, prevent ing panics and financial disasters, and furnishing to the agriculturists of the Union a medium of exchange for their commodities at reasonable rates, based upon a<tual products and nqt upon fi<titious«»secnrities of Wall Street. "We believe that a condition now- ex isits when action is necessary to relieve this country from exhorbi- tant tales now charged on the htgh seas, and we commend the efforts of this administrat'on to enact laws that will give the necessary protec tion to the American shipper.* Want Rural tYedits. “We congratulate the country up on the bright prospects of the im mediate enactment of a law provid ing for rural credits legislation with government aid. a measure so long demanded by the agriculturists of our country, and so long unheeded by the Republican administration. "We urge upon the national con vent ion the adoption of a plank rec ommending and approving action by the Uuited" States in a world’s con ference after the close of this war in advocacy and support of an in ternational agreement between 'the great powers, which shall provide means for settling future Irritating differences between peoples by de cision of judicial tribunal or concil iation commission, and furnish them opportunity for deliberation and cooling;time, and under/which agree’ ment th». contracting powers shall pledge their sanction and use their united economic and military forces pending such submission to forbid and prevent war. "Fully conscious of the fact that law and its proper enforcement is th« only basis of our civilization, the Democratic party of South Carolina looks back with pride to the uncens- ng efforts of the courts and the State and county officials to promote justice in South Carolina and to se- vure law and order. It commends the officials who have aided in this work. The verdicts of juries have ever been the bulwark of our liberty and should not be lightly set aside,, but should be upheld by all honest and law-abidin* men in order that the evildoers might fear the courts and honest men abide its decrees. We pledge the democratic party to a continuation o'f strict law en forcement. "The Democratic party, reviewing with pride and gratification the ad vances made in South Carolina in the matter of social and economic legishuion, with machinery for en forcement. designed to protect the human machine and better the con dition of the men, women and child laborers of the State, Including such statutory enactments as the factory inspection act. the act as to seats for women and regulating hours of la bor for women is mercantile estab lishments. the 60 hours per we:k act in factories, the weekly payroll act, the acts regulating hours of la bor on street and interurban rail ways. the act protecting child labor and raising the age limit to 14 years the act providing for a board of ar bitration and conciliation of labor disputes, the acts regulating the pay ment and docking of wnges, and the act protecting messenger hoys pledges itself to a further program of safe and sane labor legislation. We believe that the continued happiness and prosperity of our peo- pie demand renomination and re- election of Woodrow Wilson as Pres ident of the United States, and of Thomas R. Marshall as Vice Presi dent; and our delegation to the na tional convention is hereby instruct ed to work to that end. "We commend to our Legislature for its earnest consideration the question of equal suffrage for wo men. and request that the matter V submitted to the peonle Iv proper act or resolution for their decision COLDS QUICKLY RELIEVED Manv people cough and courh-— from the beginning of Fall right through to Spring.
