I've desire to congratulate the
people of the United States that Al
this critical time in the history Of the
republic We have a chief executive
possessing a great humanitarian soul,
marvellous intellect, cool and unex-
ctable judgment and one whose I'M
firing efforts are being spent for the
advancement OF the honor and glory
and material prosperity of our people
and nation.
I'VE heartily endorse all the poll
cies of the present democratic ad
ministration, and we specially eX-
press our approval of the Underwood
tariff bill, the income tax law, the
federal reserve banking act, and the
repeal of the subsidy TO vessels en-
gagged in coastwise trade in the na-
ture of free tolls through the Panama
canal.
1--WE favor the SPEEDY passage Of
laws to control and regulate the
trusts and we earnestly commend the
efforts OF the president, his cabinet
and congress to aid the South in
marketing its cotton crop without
sacrificing same.
We express our deepest apprecia-
tiOn and heartiest approval OF the
policy pursued by President Wood
row Wilson in dealing with the re-
public OF Mexico. We call attention
to the fact that while most OF Europe
is now at war we, the people of the
United States, owing tC tho christian
craftsmanship, patience and watch
full forbearance of President Wilson,
are at peace with all the world.
We the democrats Of the Third
congressional district OF Georgia, in
convention assembled, express the
hope and belief that no person will
be for a moment considered by the
democratic hosts in 1916 as the par
TVS candidate for president but our
present pure and able chief eXecu-
tive, that incomparab peerless
democratic statesman, Woodrow
Wilson, and VIC hereby pledge him
our answering loyalty and support
The resolution was unanimously
adopted amid great applause.
