NEGRO HELD TO GRAND JURY

Frank Williams, alias "Show
Boy" negro, who broke into the
residences of DIR. j. A. Shirley and
Mrs. John Englenan, was tried
here and held to the Montgomery
County grand jury in both eases
under 5000 bond, which he failed
to give and was remanded to Jail.
Williams is a notorious character
and as the evidences against him
are very strong and he is said to
have made many damaging admis-
sions, he will likely go to the peni-
Tertiary. Williams secured entrance
into the room of Miss Flo Shirley
about midnight last Wednesday, and
the young woman was badly fright
ened. The arrest was made by po-
lice officers Burns and Flora and
Chief James Upton. The negro was
barefooted when he entered the
houses and was traced by his
bare feet.

Inc Democrauc party, IN nauonal
convention assembled, adopts the
following declaration, to the end
that the people of the United States
may both realize the achievements
wrought by four years of Demo-
cratic administration and be appris-
ed of the policies to which the
party is committed for the further
conduct of national affairs:
We indorse the Administration
of Woodrow Wilson. II speaks for
itself. II is the best exposition of
sound Democratic policy at home
and abroad.
We challenge comparison of our
record, our keeping of pledges and
our constructive legislation, with
those of any party of any time.
We found our country hampered
by special privilege, vicious tar
lift, obsolete banking laws and an
inelastic currency. Our foreign af-
fairs were dominated by CONNER
cial interests for their selfish ends.
The Republican party, despite re-
peated pledges, was impotent to
correct abuses which it had foster
ed. Under our administration, I'M
der a leadership which has never
faltered, these abuses have been
corrected and our people have been
freed therefrom.

Conspirators Condemned.

We condemn all alliances and
combinations of individuals in this
country, of whatever nationality or
descent, who agree and conspire to-
gether for the purpose of embar-
RAISING or weakening our Govern
ment or of improperly influencing
or coercing our public repre-
sentatives in dealing or negotiating
with any foreign Power. We charge
that such conspiracies among q
limited number exist and have been
instigated for the purpose of ad-
vancing the interests of foreign
countries to the prejudice and de-
triment of our own country. We
condemn any political party which,
in view of the activity of such
conspirators, surrenders it's integ-
rity or modifies its policy.
Along with the proof of our
character as nation must go the
proof of our power to play the
part that legitimately belongs to
us. The people of the United
States love peace. They respect the
rights and covet the friendship of
all other nations. They desire
neither any additional territory nor
any advantage which cannot be
peacefully gained by their skill

Pan-American Unity.

We recognize now, as we have
always recognized, a definite and
common interest between the Unit
ed States with the other, peoples
and republics of the Western Hem
isphere in all matters of national
independence and free political de-
velopment. We favor the establish
ment and maintenance of the fclos-

helpfulness between the United
States and the other republics of
the American continents for the
support of peace and the promotion
of common prosperity. To that
end we favor all measures which may
be necessary to facilitate intimate in

Investigation of Tariff.

Two years of a war which has
directly involved most of the chief
industrial nations of the world, and
which has indirectly affected the
life and industry of all nations,
are bringing about economic
changes more varied and far reach
ing than the world has ever before
experienced. In order to ascertain
just what those changes may be,
The Mt. Sterling advocate. (Mt. Sterling, Ky.) 1890-current, 1916-06-20
Banking Laws Reformed.

Our archaic banking and curren-
cy system, prolific of panic and
disaster under Republican Admin
istrations-long the refuge of the
money trust-has been supplanted
by the Federal reserve act, a true
democracy of credit under Govern
ment control, already proved a fin
ancial bulwark in a world crisis,
modifying our resources, placing
abundant credit at the disposal of
legitimate credit and making a cur
rency panic impossible.
We have created Federal Trade
Commission to accommodate the
perplexing questions arising under
the antitrust laws so that monop-
oily may be strangled at its birth
and legitimate industries encourage
ed. Fair competition in business is
now assured.
We have effected an adjustment
of the tariff, adequate for revenue
under peace conditions and fair to
the consumer and to the producer.
We have adjusted the burdens of
taxation so that swollen incomes
bear their equitable share. IT Our
revenues have been sufficient in
times of world stress and will
largely exceed the expenditures for
the current fiscal year.
We have lifted human labor
from the category Of commodities
and have secured to the working
man the right of voluntary asso-
citation for his protection and well
fare. We have protected the rights
of the laborer against the unwar-
ranted issuance of writs of in
junction, and have guaranteed to
him the right of trial by jury in
alleged contempt cases committed
outside the presence of the court.

Parcel Post Efficient.

We have advanced the parcel
post to genuine efficiency, enlarged
the postal savings system, added
10000 rural delivery routes and
extensions, thus reaching 100000
additional people; improved the
postal service in every branch and
for the first time in our history
placed the post-office system on a
self-supporting basis, with actual
SURPRISES in 1913, 1914 and 1916.
The reforms which were most OBJ
viOusly needed to clear away privi-
lege, prevent unfair discrimination
and release the energies of men of
all ranks and advantages have
been effected by recent legislation.
We must now remove, as far as
possible, every remaining element of
unrest and uncertainty from the
path of the business men of Amer
lea and secure for them contin-
ued period of quiet, assured and
confident prosperity.
We reaffirm our belief in the doc
trine of a tariff for the purpose
of providing sufficient revenue for
the operation of the Government;
economically administered, and un-
reservedly indorse the Underwood
tariff lam n Q fr,,lxr axanpl, f,,,,,o. Al N .
doctrine. We recognize that tariff
rates are necessarily subject to
change to meet changing conditions
in the worlds production and
trade. The events of the last two
years have brought about many
momentons changes. In some re-
spects their effects are yet conjec-
tural and wait to be disclosed, par
ticularly in regard to our foreign
trade.
