A resolution demanding division OF
the school fund between the races on
the basis of taxation was killed by an
overwhelming vote, the Democracy OF
North Carolina thus placing itself on
record as offering the negro equal IA
cilities with the Caucasian.
The platform adopted, after BRIEF
reference to the settling of the race
problem by the passage OF the consti-
tutional amendment, has this to say
of the South Dakota bond suit:
"The Democratic party Of 1904 ap-
proves the settlement made in 1879 and
will oppose any and all attempts from
any quarter to set aside the settle
ment then made. 1t will abide the
mandates Of the courts, but 1t. Will not
consent to reopen the settlement fnat
was alike creditable to the State ana
fair to the holders Of its securities.

his surrender to trust influences and
for his failure to enforce the law
against monopolies and monopolists-

ploy special counsel to enforce the laws
against trusts. In IL months the Pres
ident. the platform states. expended for
such purposes only one-twentteth OF
that sum. "In the midst Of crime COM
mitted by these wrong -doers," 1t con-
tinues, he will not stop the violation
of statutes enacted for the protection
of the people, nor punish the criminals
who plunder them, although his atten-
ton was called to the manner In which
the perpetrators might be punished by
recent decisions of the Supreme Court.

of the leading lawyers Of the flourish
ing tobacco manufacturing city, Win
ston-Salem. He Is member Of the
law firm of Glenn & Buxton. After
service in the State Legislature and IN
other public positions he canvassed the
