Carolina"
In further hearing before the
Judiciary Committee on this bill
on February 5th, 1908, Hon. E. ].
Justice, former Speaker, addressed
the committee in which he is quoted
by the News and Observer in its issue
of February 6, 1909, as saying:
Mr. Justice said Subsection A.
was put in the Democratic Platform
at Charlotte, the language Of the
bill being modified only so much as
was necessary to put it in the plat
form L don't believe the
time will ever come,' he said. I
would be surprised, mortified, dis
tressed, if it ever should come, when
the Democratic party should say a
thing and not believe it. My party
does not write platforms to fool the
people with, but as honest men, and
they write platforms because they ex-
pect to live up to them"
Under date of February 5, 1909,
the News and Observer published on
it's editorial pages, for the informa-
ton of it's Democratic members. an
article from the Cincinnati Times
Star, in which it is said:
when the Supreme Court OF the
United States on Monday affirmed the
decree of the States Courts of Texas
imposing a fine of $1.623,900 on the
nf
Louis, and ousting 1t from the State
on the charge of the violation of the
Texas antitrust law, a death blow
was struck at a system of profitable
piracy which fourishes in three
States.
After referring to the conclusions
of the Court, said "and these mo-
mentous conclusions from part Of
one of the most important decisions
ever announced in this country (and
quoting from the opinion), viz:
That State Legislatures have the
right to deal with the subject matter
and to prohibit unlawful combination
to prevent competition and in re-
straint of trade and to prohibit and
punish monopolies Is not open to
question. Having the power to pass
laws of this character, Of course. the
State may provide its own method OF
procedure and determine the method
and means by which such laws may
be made effectuaI"
With these things before the DEM
ocratic Legislature of 1909-their
platform pledges, the universal con-
struction put therein, the decision OF
the Supreme Court Of the United
States, the Democratic leaders DELHI
erately violated their pledge and in
stead thereof passed a substitute for
Subsection A. which was known as
the Manning Substitute, which all ad-
init had no teeth" and since proved
to be harmless, for under IL no prose-
cutions have been instituted in the
courts. Yet the last Democratic State
Convention, 1909, comes back to the
people with a platform declaring:
Private monopolies In restraint OF
trade are inconsistent with the
growth and development of internal
affairs of the State and the liberties
of the people should not be allowed.
We are opposed to illegal combina-
tons in restraint Of trade. trust and

and enforcement by the State and Ma
tional government of such laws as

ble."
This declaration of their hostility
to trusts, following a deal on their
part whereby through a call for an
extra session Of the General Assem-
bly, last spring, they secured these IL
legal combinations, trust and mon
opolies, doing business in North Car
olina to take the States bonds to the
amount Of over one million dollars.
thereby putting themselves under
bond to keep the peace towards these
corporations for the next thirty years
With these broken pledges upon the
subject of trusts and under these cir
cumstances. what explanation can
the Democratic party make to the
voters with the hope that they will
again be trusted in this respect?
The News and Observer of May %,
1909. said:
THE Legislature of 1907 passed a
pink tea antitrust law which the real
foes Of the trusts declared wasn't
worth the paper il was written on.
Several Solicitors tried to prosecute
trusts under it, but 1t was found to
be so full OF hiding places for the
trusts that it was ineffective. In the
campaign of 1908 the trust question
was uppermost. The Democratic
State platform promised that private
monopoly should be destroyed and
the people elected the men who prom
ised to see that the trusts were given
no quarter. When the Legislature
of 1909 assembled. In the face Of the
fiasco OF 1907. 1909 subterfuge was

The Democratic leaders realize the
dilemma regarding their antitrust
legislation. Governor Kitchin in his
address at Spray on the 5th instant
published in Webster's Weekly. re-
ferring to this subject, said:
IF the Democratic voters remain
under the misconceptions which have
been circulated, the party will suf-
fer. For If it be true that the Dem
ocratic Legislature betrayed the peo-
pie, and was guilty OF enacting a sub
terfuge, as has been published, then
defeat would be deserved. -. In
1902 the ablest leaders OF the Legis-
lature, including the lamented SEN
ator Reid and Speaker Justice, heart
lily sustained By the State press. real
lied that IL was impossible for any
State to destroy any Of the great ma
tional monopolies organized beyond
its borders. and knowing that great

sue of February 3. 1909, commenting
on this pledge, said:
"The Governor and all the other
State officials and the Democratic
mem bers of the General Assem- bly,
were elected upon a platform that
promised an antitrust law with
teeth. Trust domination and
trust extortion are real evils and felt
in ever home in this State There
are those who say: This is no time
for radical action. Let's be conserva-
tive. Let's do other things and wait
to carry out the antitrust pledge two
years from now That is not the way
the candidates talked last summer
and fall. They derided the stand
still-business falsely called 'conserva-
tism' and declared it was a betrayal
of the people to sit while the trust
were robbing the people and exerting
too much influence in politics. Every
year that passes gives the trust a
stronger hold and robs the people
that much more. Why delay to carry
out the most important pledge in the
platform! On every stump the Dem
ocrats promised such a law"
The News and Observer IN its issue
of February 5, 1909, said:
Upon the duty of passing the anti
trust law with teeth, embracing the
provisions in subsection A, the News
and Observer as a party paper, and
every Democratic official chosen last
November, is instructed by the high
est authority of the party. The ques-
ton is closed so far as the Demo
cratic official is concerned. He has
been instructed to vote for such a
law, whether he believed in it or not.
The News and Observer would no
longer be worthy to be counted as
the true exponent of Democracy il it
did not fight for such an antitrust
law now as earnestly as 1t promised
it in the campaign. This paper and
every Democratic paper, and every
Democratic candidate last fall, upon
the authority of the State platform,
, told the people that If the Democrats
were entrusted with the power in
North Carolina they would end trust
extortion. The people heard that
pledge, they gave the Democratic par
ty control Of the State government,
and now this paper insists that the
Democratic officials shall carry out
the pledge made in the platform. Is
this driving anybody? Why does this
paper urge compliance with the plat
form? There can be but one rea-
son: it has told the people that the
Democratic party can be trusted to
deal with the trust evils and pointed
to the Charlotte platform in proof Of
that declaration. If that pledge is
not kept, what explanation can loyal
and devoted Democrats make to the
voters?"
On the editorial page of this same
paper. February 4. 1909, these para
graphs appear:
I'm 1907 the Democrats could truly
say that the Democratic platform had
not specifically approved subsection
A. The Charlotte Convention put
that strong approval in the platform.
The people have been promised an
antitrust law with teeth, and the
speeches voiced the sentiment of
The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1910-09-29

AS the election approaches the
Democratic leaders will again attempt
to make the voters believe that their
party is opposed to illegal combina-
ton IN restraint Of trade, trust and
monopoly, and that they favor the
enactment of, and enforcement of,
such laws as will make their exist
ence impossible. The wilful VIOLA
ton Of their platform pledges since
the last election in this State proves
conclusively their insincerity in this
respect. The Democratic platform
adopted in Charlotte in 1908 con-
tains this plank:
Private monopolies should be de-
stroyed Conspiracies by prospective
purchasers to put down the prices of
articles produced by the labor of
others should be made criminal, and
all persons or corporations entering
into such conspiracies should be pun
ished.''
When the Legislature assembled in
1909, Senator Lockhart, to carry out
this pledge, introduced an antitrust
bill, the main feature of which was
contained in what is known as Sub
Section A." viz:
"(a) For any person, firm, corpo-
ration or association to make or have
any agreement, express or implied, to
lower or prevent the increase in price
of any article or thing of value which
any such person, firm, corporation or
association may desire to purchase
within the State of North Carolina" 4"
This bill was referred to the Sen
ate Judiciary Committee. On Feb
ruary 3, 1909, Senator Lockhart ap-
peared before the committee and urg-
ed it's passage.
The News and Observer in its issue
| of February 4, 1909, quotes him as
saying:
'He said the Democratic State
Convention adopted by a unanimous
vote of the Platform Committee
| pledging the enactment of this law,
| and the candidates on the Democratic

cause it was the one specifically prom
| ised by the majority party. With
the party pledged to it, it was the
/ duty of the Legislature to pass It,
their honor also being involved in 1t. -
Ex-senator Reid was also before
the committee and is reported by the
same paper as saying:
"It was a new departure for him,
he said. to come before Democrats
/ and ask them to enact into law the
solemn promises of their party made
less than year ago. The Demo
