INK OF both classes IA North Carolina
We believe in Kood roads. AID
favor the good roads policy both as
an economic necessity and as one Of
the chief means 10 make country life
the life OF most OF our people
more attractive. We hold that the
best employment for the State con-
victs Is on the public highways.
We again call for the esta hilsh-
ment OF reformatories for youthful
criminals OF both sexes. and juvenile
courts for our cities. These are re-
forms clearly demanded By the best
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 constant depreciation In the
market valae OF our State bonds.
We demand a fair election Law,
which shall permit every voter TO cast
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 of
it. None but partisan and unworthy
motives are arrayed against t,and We
demand effective legislation that will
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 other
great corporations, we take issue
squarely with the declaration of our
opponents which, If IL means any
thing, means that all great combina-
lions 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, and
must be done, by great corporations
What is NEEDED in the State as in the
nation, is not wanton destruction or
ignorant intermeddling, but careful
and expert and Just regulation. We
repeat, therefore, the pledge OF our
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-afirm our allegiance to
the time-honored principle of local
self government and we denounce the
successive betrayals Of that principle
by our opponents, who long Wanted
themselves it's 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
