allow a jury to be summoned in all
cases where the alleged contempt is
committed outside the presence of the
court. We favor an employers liza
bility law. We favor full protection by
both national and state governments
within their respective spheres of all
foreigners residing in the United
States under the treaty, but we are
opposed to the admission of Asiatic
or other immigrants who cannot be
whose presence among us would raise
the race issue and involve us in diplo-
matte controversies, and we demand
the exclusion of any immigrants who
advocate assassination as means of
reforming our government.
I'VE denounce the failure of the Re-
measure of currency reform. The mis-.
cradle makeshift forced, without de-
bate and by rule, through congress is
relief measure only in name. Their
only hope is that no emergency will
arise which may put it into operation.
Nothing more than an experiment
with this measure is necessary to DEM
onstrate its utter and complete worth.
Iessness.
The protective tariff is the mother
of all trusts. We favor an immediate
revision of the tariff on necessaries of
life and reduction of import duties.
Articles entering into competition with
articles controlled by trusts should be
placed upon the free list. Material re-
duction should be made in the tariff
on the necessaries of life, and reduc-
ton should be made in such other
schedules as may be necessary to re-
store the tariff to a revenue basis.
We favor an income tax as part of
our revenue system, and we favor the
collection of tax upon individual and
corporate incomes to the end that
share of the burdens of the federal
government.
| We denounce the extravaganza
which has marked the Republican ad-
ministration. Drunk with power ind
held together by the cohesive power
of public plumber, it has surpassed
even its own records of expenditure,
and squandered the public funds in a
way hitherto unparalleled.
We are opposed to large standing
wealth may bear it's proportionate
army, the maintenance of which is a
great burden upon the toilers of the
country and menace to the liberties
of the people. But we favor the main.

We endorse the candidacy of Hon
William Jennings Bryan chosen for the
presidency, and instruct the delegates
here chosen, state and district, to vote
for his nomination first, last and al
the time, and that said delegation vote
as unit on all questions.
We believe in such an apportion
ment of representatives and senators
in the state legislature as will give the
several counties representation ap
proximately proportional to their pop
ulation and consistent with the consti
> tutional plan for the preservation o.
u white supremacy. We urge the sub
. mission of such constitutional amend
a ment as may be necessary to effec
this end.
J" We unhesitatinglly endorse the ad
-e ministration of the Hon. E. F. Noe
. as Governor, and point with pride t
1T the splendid record that he has mad
and is making in behalf of soun(
d honest and economical state govern
iu ment, and renew our assurances [
&c the people of Mississippi that in hill
