out such unjust and increased discrimina-

that the bill now pending before Congress- is
| sufficient TO remedy the evil

9. That we are unalterably opposed to the
! peHnlscuous emigration Of foreigners into
| TINS country, and favor stringent National
legislation to sCrutlniZe, regulate and con
| troll the same 50 as to exclude from our
Snores The vicious, corrupt and degraded
class of emigrantS.
IL. We are in favor of electing United
States Senators by a direct vote of The
| people.
IL. We deplOre the existence of oOndI-
IONS which I'LL a land OF ''over-prOductIOn'
with enforced ideness desttutiOn and law
.esSuess These are the legitimate fruits of
| h I1ia1N nj ~.
tlon, betrayal of popular confidence, and
pefVerslOn OF the peoples government to
the use and advantage of a destructive
money trust and to other monopolies.
we sympathlze with the oppressed
everywhere; but We are opp6sed to
all Iawless combinations of men. whether
representing capital or labor We believe
| IN peace and strict obedience to law. we
are opposed to strikes as tending to infrac
tlons OF the law as wrong in principle and
condemn them us we do the unlawful and
unprOSecuted combinations of capitaI
against which they contend We URGE mon
labor the wise use of the ballot as the only
peaceabIe solution of the grave conditions
that contronts our social progress, conditions
which cannot be converted into social peace
except on the basis of social righteousness.
IL For thirty years riotous living, de-
pauchery and shameless disregard for the |
rights OF the people has been the rule rather |
IMAM the exception at Washington The |
present administration, the present Senate |
ana Congress, seem to be composed largely |
OF men who are outstripping their predeces- |
sOrS. Some of them are old-timers and their |
new associates have caught the infection |
Inc money power, whiskey, sugar, and |
othef mOnOpOlleS are represented in the Cab |
met and in both Houses of Congress. At
present we have government of, for and |
by trusts and m0nopolies. In striking CON
traSt TO the above we point with pride 10 the |
clean records made by our little band of |
feoples party Senators and congressman. |
Always at the post of duty, never arrested |
to make quorum, unselfish, fearless, incor- |
Fuptlb!e, IKE true Spartans they have stood |
Dy their pledges to man. With this record |
IN our favor we assert that ''hOnesty in pol |
tics IS not an iridesCent dream" and can in |
Vlte all who earnestly desire good govern |
ment to leave their mOnopoly-ridden parties |
ana help US to fill our National Legislative |
nails with honest statesmen.
13. We favor the running of the nubIic
schools OF our State at least four months in |
each year as required by our Constitution
tor both races, i'll order that the BLESSINGS of |
education may be extended to all the people
of our State alike.
IA, We condemn the Democratic admin
lstratlon OF North Carolina for its failure fo
execute the antitrust laws now on o11r stot
ute books also for the failure to nrosernta
the officers of broken banks through whose
criminal careleSsneSs and dishonesty large
amounts OF both public and private funds
nave been lost and our citizens widows and
orphans nave been made to suffer-
10. We favor the establishment of
state institution for the reformation of
young criminals. "
10. We condemn the last General Assem-
bly, OF the State for its lavish and reckless
waste OF the peoples money, and for its
failure to collect the back taxes due and col
iectahle from certain railroad corporations
III Inc oIa{e, ana Tor unjust discriminating
against other corporations.
II. We condemn the election methods
resorted to in certain counties and precincts
OF other counties III the election of ISy2 con.
eocted and executed by the Democratic ma
chine of the State, by which thousands Of
citizens who had voted for years under the
same registration were deprived of their suf
frage, by which ballots of the People' : nar+I,
after being delivered to psll holders to be-
properly deposited were destroyed in s.buT
