IF the Democratic legislature which

Institutional and wholesome amend

will have our hearty support. If
they will not, we appeal to the peo-

= legislature pledged to support such
an amendment.
We congratulate the people of
North Carolina upon the decision Of
the State Supreme Court in the case

systems of county government for
various counties of the State. Act
mo under this decision we pledge the
Peoples Party to the maintenance
,f the system of local self govern
ment in all the white counties, towns
and cities in the State as established
5v the General Assembly of 1895,
and at the same time to provide and
maintain a legislative system of
county government for all the negro
counties of the State, so that there
can never be any question that the
white people shall always have full
and complete control of every county
in the State.
Wedenounce the Democratic Legis-
lature of 1899 for passing an election
law. every provision of which is
carefully and cunningly planned and
devised to thwart the sovereign will

fear of successful contradiction, that
it Is the most partisan, unfair, in

that has ever disgraced the statute
books of any State in the Union.
We pledge ourselves to increase the
efficiency of the public school sys-
tenn in North Carolina, and point to
the fact that the Peoples Party has
lone more for public education in
North Carolina than the Democratic
party ever did in twice the length of
time To the PopulistS of North
Carolina is to be credited the first
great increase in the public school
system.
We pledge ourselves to the care of
the unfortunate class in North Caro-
lima and to an increase in the neceS-
~ary facilities for the same. As an
earnest of our sincerity we point to
our past record in this particular,
and say that no legislature in which

for additional provision as has been
