FOR the army, navy, and civil govern

In recalling the demand loans made
without interest to the banks. II WILL
however, be necessary to proceed con.
se~rvatively, gradually and with SUI
ficient notice, so that the COLLECTION
of the governments just debts, even
though deposited in the banks with
out interest and on call, may not Dc
followed by panic or too great Dusi'
ness disturbance.
Fifteen-We favor just and liberal
appropriations for Inauguration OF
maintenance of needed public works,
especially appropriations In the IN
terest of cheaper transportation by
land and water. We oppose the Re-
publican policy of starving home de-
velopment in order to feed the greed
for conquest and the schoolboy appe-
title for national prestige" and display
OF strength.
Sixteen-We favor the reduction OF
the army and navy expenditures 10
the point historically demonstrated to
be safe and sufficient.
Seventeen-The maintenance and
due annual increase OF the navy
our best defense, in u isolated con-
tinental condition, against a foreign
foe, and a source of no possible dan
ger to our liberties as a people.
Eighteen-The u~pbuilding of a mer-
chant marine without new or addi'
tional taxation upon the people, and
without bounties from the public
treasury.
Nineteen-The enactment and ad.
ministration of laws giving to capital

Capital and labor ought not to be
enemies. Each is necessary to the
other. Each has its rights; but the
rights of labor are certainly no less
vested" no less Sacred" and no less
'~inalienable' than the rights of capt.
tai. 1t is not strange that a party
founded as the Republican party is.
upon the dogma of the moral and lega'
rightfulness of protection and of other
species of special legislation, can not
realize and enforce this idea.
Twenty-Statehood for Oklahoma
and the Indian Territory, Statehood
for Arizona, Statehood for New Mexi-
co and a territorial government for
Porto Rico.
Twenty-one-Better, more cordial
and more adequate return and better
tt eatment of heroes who have served
the country in time of need than the
Republican administration has granted
to men like Admiral Schley n Adj
miral Dewey. The Democracy, like
the country, is at a loss to understand
how the administration could have ar
rived at the conclusion that it was
it's duty to snub Admiral Dewey, the
victor of Manila Bay, and to permit
the continuance in the public service
of those officers of the nav and en-
pIoyes of the navy department who
we're guilty Of conduct u~nbecoming
officers and gentlemen" in that they
aided, or failed to cut Shor the SIAN
ders that were heaped upon Admiral!
Schley, the victor of Santiago Bay, by
an irresponsible. so-called historian.
who asserted that his proof sheets
we're corrected by employees of the
navy department.
T'wenty-two-The Democracy OF
Mississippi. representing the white
people of the State. in dealing with
racial questions, is conscious Of the
strength of a giant" and is equally
conscious of its just determination
not to use that strength like a
giant" brutally or i~rrationally. While
preserving and perpetuating. as It's
sacred duty, the supremacy OF the
white mans code of ethics. peculiar
to him the central tenet Of which is
the sanctity of the family life. it will
perform this duty in the future as
It has tried to perform it in the past,
with all possible kindness and consld'
Grafton. conscious of the fact that the
duty carries with it a trust-that trust
which is always reposed by the God OF
Nature IN those who have power and
superior capacity-the trust to dc
equal and exact justice. .
In this connection we justly applaud
the present governor Of the State for
his exemplification of those principles
in his maintenance of law and order
and that reverence due to the COURT
Of our own constituting.
