tiples Of governn1sht as expressed in
democratic platforms throughout the
existence of the party and accepts the
platform OF principles adopted 10y the
last democratic convention as binding
uppn as as d's1ucrats uutH changed by
succeeding na-Onal conventions.
We denounce the republican party Of
the United States for its repeated acts
OF infamy ami outrage upon the rights
of the tOiling, millions OF America and
for its union with corporate greed to
wrest FROM the tOiler an undue portion
of the product of his labor, We con-
denim President Roosevelt, among other
things especially for his public and pri-
yate conduct tending To stir up bitter
ness between the different sections OF
the country and to make the negro be-
lieve that ne is the social and other
equal OF the white man.
We condemn and denOunce the repub-
liCan party Of Arkansas for its Infamous
record during the dark days of recon
structiOn and because the heart which
prompted the perpetuation OF that long
list Of outrages has not been changed
In character, and the men who Were the
chief actors in the bloody drama Of re-
construction are still the shepherds and
apostles Of that party's organization IN
this State.
We dcnounce the republican party for
its arrant COwardice in refusing to near
that record presented to an Intelligent
State campaign.
The democratic party. regarding with
pride and satisfaction the successful de-
velOpment of our public school system
pledges itself to its perpetual support
maintenance and enlargement. and
recommends that the State continue to
provide for the payment Of the interest
on the State bonds now belonging to the
school fund, and that at ~ early a day
as possible the State should make pro-
vision for district high schools i'm yari-
Gus portions Of the State. TO the end
that the rural pupils may have the dd-
vantage Of high school education. We
further recommend the adoption of a
constitutional amendment which will en-
able the State to give more effective
financial aid u the free schools Of the
State.
We recommend a revision of the law
make il as far as possible self-sustain-
ing and prevent it, msmauagcment in
any way and that any surplus arising
from convict labor shall pass into the
school fund for the education of the
children Of the State in the free schools
We indorse the proposed amendment
90 our State constitution whereby cities
of the first and second class may Issue
interest bearing evidence of indebted
adnoSs under restrictions therein named.
We recommend increased liberality in
pensions to N-COnfcdcrates
In order that labor may be more fully
protected we demand the enactment by
the next legislature Of a IHw aDOlishing

cases where injury occurs to an en-
