LOWINDES J. BROWNING OUT FOR GOVERNOR Union Mum Makes Definite Statement to That Effect and GJveB bli Plat form* Columbia, Oct. 30.?Lowndes J. Drowning, of Sedalla, in Union coun ty, announced yesterday that he would Im a candidate for governor of South Carolina in the iDefcnocratlc primary next summer. Mr. Browning has been in public life in South Carolina Tor a number of years, having served three terms in tho house of representatives. Ho was chairman of the ways and moans com mittee during tho session of I0ll-'12. He was not a candidate for reelection to the house in l!U2. Mr. Drowning lias been a farmer all Iiis life ami is tit present president of tho Union County Farmors' union. He was pres ident of the Union County Pair asso ciation for two years, declining ro olectlon. Platform Outlined. Mr. Drowning issued yesterday tho folio wing outline of his platform: "I will bo a candidate for governor in IfJl'l in tin Democratic primary. Summarized briefly, my platform is as follows: "First. Kvory white Democrat HllOUld be allowed to vote, provided he win qualify himself to maintain the action of the Democratic primary in tho general election. No man should be allowed to participate In tho nam ing of a State and county ticket as a I Democrat and then support some other party In tho general election for president and vice president, as was done in 1012 by certain alleged mem bers of the Progressive party. "Second. I believe in the thorough reform of our financial system. If properly regulated, tho personal prop erty tax can and should bo eliminated. Utldor our present systi'.n, a citizen eatl not hide his household mid kitchen furniture, his live stock if a farmer, his stock of goods if a mer chant, but he can and very frequently does hide his personal property if it Is principally invested in mortgages, stocks, bonds and tho like. This tax should I .' a lax on income and thus you will reach those most able to pay am) tho.e who receive the greatest protection from government. "Third. I shall advocate a thor ough reform of our school system. The constitutional school tax should be made a State fund Instead of a county ru!!'.'.. Thus the richer count !e?? would aid the poorer counties, ami all the children of our State would receive equal benefit. Knob school (list rie; should, as at present, be allowed to supplement this state fund by local levies for their Individual benefit. The State, however, should guarantee thai each school should run a certain pe riod and if the present constitutional school tax does not raise sulTlolonl rovonuc for this purpose, the state levy should be increased. "Fourth. I believe in a thorough reform and simplification of our judi cial procedure, Whereby justice may !>e obtained in a reasonable length of time. I am sure that the present con gestion of OUr dockets COUld be re lieved were there a commission of three, whose decisions would he final as regards all damage suits. This would bo hard on a few lawyers, but 't would benefit greatly the poor em ployes who bring such suits against corporations, provided tho decisions of this commission be final. Knforce All I,ans. ??Fifth. I shall advocate the en forcement of all laws on the statute books. If they are good, the State will reap the benefit. If they are had, the necessity for their repeal will be more qttickl) realized. "Sixth. Some candidates profess to ignore the fact that two political fac tions do exist within the Democratic party of this State. With equal jus tice they could deny that the sun is 'he luminary of the day. I belong to that wing of the Democratic party of this State which believes in a ropre Rontatlvo form of government found ed on the principles of our State and national constitutions, and fltm op posed to boss rule' as exemplified by lluerta In Mexico and various 'bosses' in this and other states. I am the candidate of no 'boss' nor any news papor, but am asking for the office of I governor on my record, 1 believe that tho executive, legislative and judicial departments of our government are supreme in their respective spheres. The authority of one should not he encroached upon by that of another. "There are numerous minor reforms that I might mont'on, but this In brief outlines the principles upon which I shall ask the support of my parly as ? caniddntu for governor In the Demo cratic primary in 1014.
