RANDELL's PLATFORM.

The democratic congressional con-
vention which met at Mckinney Sat
urday nominated Congressman Ran
dell for reelection and proceeded to
adopt platform embodying the prin-
ciples for which he fought in the Gray
son county convention and later in
the state convention in San Antonio,
namely that no man should keep one
hand in the pocket of the people and
the other in the pocket of the COM
bines. This is doctrine that he has
upheld for years and one that is con-
sidered pretty good democracy by
= X all stataslexcent Tor
az. The only thing the md ele-.l sii
1t In Texas is that it is supposed to
be a reflection on politician who
says and swears that he never did
such a thing in his life.
The Mckinney platform says:
We condemn the unholy alliance of
the republican party with public ser
vice corporations, monopolies and
trusts, as shown by its action in con-
gress, and by the employment of
certain of its members, as being in.
imical to the best interests of the
people and against public policy. for
the reason that we believe our pub
lie officers should be the servants of
the people only; and therefore we
deprecate the taking of employment
by the representatives of the people
and by any of our public servants
from public service corporations,
monopolies and trusts, or others in.

Charlotte, N c., Aug. 26.-The re-

city at noon today with a larger at
tendance and a greater display of en-
thusiasm than ever before character

presidential candidate Taft, but also
for strong gubernatorial candidate

eressman W Kitchin.
The best evidence Of the hopeful
spirit that pervades the party is the
fact that for the first time in the his

Anderson county and Palestine have
been peculiarly unfortunate of late in
having to contend with a lot of land
sharks. There should be some prac-
teal way of getting rid of these pests,
for they work great injury to this
section and are a menace to the de-
velopment of our lands. If every
prospector would only take the trou-
BILE to find out with whom he is deal
ing he would often save himself loss

of laws giving to them special rights
and privileges, and we therefore de-
clare in favor of law prohibiting
such employment, whether the same
be as attorney, agent or representa-
tive of the same.
In this connection we commend the
patriotic efforts of the democratic
congress led by the representative of
this district to pass law prohibiting
the foregoing abuses; and we con-
graduate him and them on having
torn the mask from the republican
party, forcing the republican leaders
| to apply the party whip in order to
defeat amendments to the penal code
prohibiting the taking of gifts or en-
ployment by members of congress
from public service corporations and
trusts. Thus the democratic party
was put on record as committed to
this much-needed reform, and the re-
publican party as opposed to it. The
reason is obvious-the republican
party stands for graft, the demo
cratic party for honest and just leg
islation, uninflunenced by the power
of money and the greed for gain. We
condemn the insidious methods used
by public service corporations, monop-
olies and trusts, whereby they seek
to influence the servants of the peo-
pie by gifts and privileges under the
guise of courtesy. We believe that
the giving and receiving of such
"courtesies" are contrary to public
policy, and are highly improper, if
not actually immoral, and we favor
legislation that will forbid the giving
| and receiving of such gifts or favors
by any public service corporation to
any senator or representative in con-
gross or to any judge of the United
States court
