Republican State Platform.

Amendment No. l to be voted
upon at the next general election
opens the way for the imposition of
tonnage tax on iron ore, and while
every republican paper in the north
end of the state is opposing the
adoption of such amendment and
devoting much space to telling
their readers that it should be
"downed," they all very religiously
forget to state that the Republican
State Platform favors the adoption
of such a measure, which is done in
the following unequivocal lam
guage:
ave favor the adoption of the tax
amendment to be voted on at the
next ensuing general election"
The Democratic state platform
also recommends the adoption Of
this amendment, and when a fair
minded man stops to study the
proposition it is simply case of
the Republican kettle calling the
Democratic pot black.

This statement does not apply to
any contract with the Virginia
