To Hon. c, L. Marshall, Chairman:
We, your committee on resolutions.

Resolved, by the Democracy OF tue
Fourth congressional district OF Texas, III
convention assembled:
l. That we reaffirm the time-honoreu
principles of the Democratic party ana
pledge our fealty and support to ther
perpetuity, believing that the salety,
prosperity and glory Of our government
will be better advanced and upheld by
the success of those principles than IN any
other manner.
,. We further believe that all needed
reforms in the government eau and
Democratic party to the end that the ag-
ricuIturalists may soon be relieved from
unjust taxation, and protected IN their
rights alike with all other classes OF peo-
pie.
g. We view with alarm the tendency or
a nartisan majority TO enact what Is COM
monty called the force bill, which Is sub
versiye to constitutional liberty !,
and if passed into law, will
create endless confusion and strife
among the people to the great detri-
ment of the business and enterprises
generally, and all trust there is patriot
ism enough i'll the United States senate
to defeat this dangerous legislation.
4, That we hereby express our un-
swerving confidence IN the ability, integ-
rity and conservatism of our congress-
man. the Hon. d. B. Culberson
of Jefferson, Tex, whose towering in
telIect and constant labor has placed him
in the front rank OF the lower house OF
congress, and In case the next house
should be Democratic, as we believe It
will, we especially commend him as emil
nently qualified for the position OF
speaker of the house.
