We believe IN good Fozdz. and

the chief means 90 make country life
the life Of most OF our people
more attractive. We hold that The
best employment for the State con.
viets Is on the public highways
We again call for the establish
ment OF reformatories for youthful
criminals OF both sexes. and juvenile
courts for our cities. These are re-
forms clearly demanded by the bes;
public sentiment everywhere. and in
which North Carolina must not lag
behind.
We denounce the extravaganza OF
the Democratic party In the manage
ment OF the finances of the State
whereby they have increased the
bonded indebtedness of the State and
caused a constant depreciation In the
market value OF our State bonds.
We demand a fair election Law
which shall permit every voter 10 cas-
his ballot voluntarily. prevent dicta.
ton and bribery. and make for a free
expression of the peoples will. The
failure of the party In power to pass
such law is inexcusable. Every ad'
vocate OF pure politics is In favor oi
1t. None but partisan and unworthy
motives are arrayed against it.and We
demand effective legislation that vii
insure punishment of all election Of
ficers who act corruptly in the dis
charge of their duties.
In the matter OF the States policy
with common carriers and otheI
great corporations, we take issue
squarely with the declaration OF onl
opponents which, II Ii means any
thing, means that all great combina
tons Of capital are to be destroyed
outright. We hold, on the contrary
that much of the work Of modern so
ciety will continue to be done. anf
must be done, by great corporations
What is NEEDED in the State as In Tho
nation, is not wanton destruction oil
ignorant intermeddling, but careful
and expert and just regulation. We
repeat, therefore, the pledge OF oul
last platform-the pledge to set our.
selves against two kinds Of injustice
the injustice which permits great cor.
porations and other combinations OF
wealth to prey upon the poor, and the
injustice which sacrifices property
and deranges business In order that
cheap demagogues may get or keep
office.
We re-affirm our allegiance &c
the time-honored principle Of local
self government and we denounce the
successive betrayals Of that principle
by our opponents, who long vaunted
themselves its champions.
We demand that our judiciary, and
particularly our higher courts, shall
be kept above the atmosphere Of par.
tisan politics, and that the judicial
