Mr.. Chairman, Gentlemen of the Convention: I:
We are here to-day to present to the country
a winning issue and winning candidate. The
dominant issue in this campaign is the same
issue that has been dominant in every cam
paign in history. 1t is an issue that involves
all other issues and is old as creation itself
an issue that formed the first plank In the
first platform of the Almighty when he said,
by the sweat Of thy face shall thou eat
bread; and that issue was reaffrmed at a
later period when he said. six days shalt
thou labor and do all thy work.; an issue
that had for its first champion no less a
leader than the great and tender Christ. who
said THE laborer is worthy of his hire"
The man who deserves the nomination of
this convention knows that laborer is some-
thing more than the minion Of money mag

mere than a retainer for the trust baron who
lives in castle built by the exactions of a

At 1O:4S a. m. Chairman Clark
arose and let fall his huge gavel. The
clerk picked up a megaphone and
announced that the session would
begin with prayer by Rabbi Samuel

The delegates and spectators at once

demand was made for report of
the resolutions committee. AS no re-
port was forthcoming it was determ-

the purpose of having the names Of
the next national committee an
nounced. There were cheers at the
announcement of the name of Robert
d. Sullivan as committeeman of Illi-
nois, but the demonstration assumed
still larger proportions at the mention
of Thomas Taggart of Indiana, which
followed.
The Pennsylvania delegation arose
and saluted the announcement of ].

man.

FOR TWO CENT FARE
Movement to be Started
to Lower Railroad Rates
in the State.

In all probability the oft mooted
question of a reduction of passenger
rates on railroads to two cents per
mile will be brought to the attention
of the Railroad Commission and push
ed vigorously in the near future.
That the movement will be a pop
ular one with the thousands whose
business causes them to be constantly
on the trains, as well as with the even
larger class of people who have to
make sacrifices to pay the fares of
their occasional outings, goes without
saying; as does likewise the fact that
the railroads will most strenuously op-
pose the proposed reduction.
Consequently there will be a fight
on hand that will prove an interesting
one so soon as the petition is formally
made.
Whether or not the time is yet ripe
for the change is a matter that de-
serves the closest investigation, but it
is certain that conditions of travel in
the State have been rapidly changing
within the past few years, and for the
advantage of the roads. Time was
when the plea that the roads traversed
sparsely settled sections through
which it was not possible to run pas
senger trains at a profit held much
weight but those conditions exist IN
no such degree as they did within the
last decade, or luStrum, even. The
country is not only becoming more
closely stetled, but the people are
looming more and more to acquire the
travelling habit. Where one man took
the cars ten years ago. there are now
twenty. Whether this development
has gone far enough to justify the
change, is, as was said, matter for
judicial examination; but it is at least
one that deserves to be looked into.
Speaking of the proposed amend
ment of rate yesterday, a gentleman
who keeps we'll informed on railroad
matters, said:
-. Pope Brown, the chairman of the
Georgia Railroad Commission, has an
nounced himself in favor of the re-
duction of passenger fares TO two
cents per mile, and the recommends
ton will come before the Commission
at its next meeting. The rate of a
first class fare in that State is now
three cents; while in North Carolina
it is even more, three and half cents
per mile. With the Southern earning
twenty-five and a half per cent net,
annually on the North Carolina Rail-
road, and the Coast Line earning
eighty per cent. on the price it paid
the State for its stock in the Whining
ton and Weldon Railroad, it would
seem that it is about time that the
Railroad Commission was taking some
step towards reducing what under the
circumstances would appear to be an
excessive charge for transportation
upon the people,"
