i not a single Denvcia1ic senator n

frs Republican senators from the
,nuo5lnsd S,utheTa States OF Dsla-

Such R publican membership IN
cur national legislative halls carries
grave response io,ii lies but the party
in power bravely and wisely assumes
it's legislative burdens and delights in
it's successful efforts for all classes OF
American p.opls.
"ia our State affs:rs, and in fact
With Jew exceptions in the State al
fairs OF most Of the Southern States,
we er 10y 8 fair share OF this genera!
prosperity, but we experience a dis-
tinct discouragement in matters
political Is tEey IF ct the poNSica
rights and privileges OF those among
US who wish to lend cur eforts and
ballots to the great cause Of insurirg
2 continuance Of the administration
OF the affairs OF our country by the
Republican party. This curtailnen'
of political rights is primarily due &c
the unfair and discriminating admin
istrsuion Of election laws Of our Stats
by every cficer Ct iu down to the So
oervisors OF registration in the ssVera
counties, who are themselves more
responsible for the discrinlnaGlor
than all of the other adverse forces
con- In this connection Wf
urge that this convention sdops some
measure which will establish a State
registration board with State chair
MAJ AID secretary and q Chairman
AID secretary for each county in the
State. These tffice1s to be appointed
by the State c; airmsn with lnstruc
5icns as to The full responsibility 0.
sheir cfices and the hard work eL'
ssilso upon them II they faithfully
carry out the duties involved. Ii
this way only csn We force our r1ght'
UPON the Dam cratic supervisors Of
.egistrs:ion and managers OF cleo
ticns, or at least lay foundation fol
a contest, when federal elections art
involved, which would be sustained
by congress in passing upon contested
cases.
I'VE declare our f,n adherence tt
the principles and platform OF tbs &;
publican party as those principles an:
that platform were adopted and pro
nulgaued by the Republican nasiora
convention at Chicago in une, 1904
