of the party as announced and ex

cordial and intelligent support it ha:
given him. The South Carolina De
mocracy pledges anew the faith il
woodrow Wilson that its delegation
in the Baltimore convention Sc
staunchly manifested in supporting
him for the nomination.
"Under the leadership of the presi'
dent the government has been re-
stored to the people. Revision OF
the tariff In the interests of the peo'
pie has been accomplished, and the
control Of the government arrested
from the hands Of the great inter.
ests. The income tax shifts to wealth
a fair share of the burdens of govern
ments. A brighter industrial and
commercial day is dawning under q
banking and currency law that dis,
tributes the country's accumulation
Of capital among the people whose
labors have created it. In construc-
tive legislation enacted for the ben
eft of the many and not for the few
this Democratic administration has
already achieved more than Repu6li,
can administrations have ever accom-
plished, and it will be known in his
tory as the restorer of the rights OF
the people that have been taken
from them during the long period
when the government in the hands
of the Republican party was a part
ner Of the privileged classes.
"The Del Jcratic administration
will curb the monopolies that have
been built UP under the fostering
care of the Republican party; It will
make plain the way of honest bust
ness; it will further provide the facil-
tiles of. credit to the farmers and
| ,mall producers and 1t will go for
ward through the agricultural de-
nrtment in the great work Of edu-
cation, for increased production and
better living, for improved health
and for the development of the peo-
pie as the principal American asset
"tn dealing with other nations, our
country, under the direction Of Presi-
dent Wilson'S intelligent and sincere
patriotism, has acknowledged nc
standard Of honor and sense of JUS
tice lower than that which prevails
among highminded men and controls
their conduct. Guided by these prin-
ciples and his own strength Of char
acter and the patience Of genius
President Wilson has had the courage
to avoid war in. Mexico when a weak
er man would have brought on an
armed conflict that would have cost
US millions of treasure and thousands
of precious lives, at the same time
preserving the honor Of our country
and the sanctity Of our flag.
"To such a record and such mar
the Democratic convention Of South
Carolina pledges it's cooperation i
the performance It the tasks that re
rain and the cor tin uation Of the sup
mort which it commenced in faltf
and finds justified in tact. We espec
ially extend to the president oul
grateful appreciation for preventing
a money panic and placing in tn'
banks of the agricultural district:
large sums Of government money
thereby enabling the producers OF ouI
great agricultural crops to. secuee
remunerative price for their products
Recognizing in the president th'
greatest moral force that has been II
the White House during the past cen
tury, we heal tily commend his Ell
forts to secure a repeal Of the Pan
ANA free tolls act, a law enacted by
Republican congress and signed by
Republican president. regardless o
national honor. We condemn thl
law az under,ocrattc and against tn
economic policy of our party am
county. We believe that this la7

would repeat the outrageous scandal
of the building OF our transcontl
, mental railways. We demand tina
our senators vote for the unquall
fed repeal Of this act aud thus sup
port the president tn unfolding Dem
ocratic principles and the honor o
this nation.
" eve commend and heartily 1ndors
any legislation tending to establish

, the promotion Of the general Welfar
BY preventing the dissemination G
