THE CASS COUNTY SUN
DEMOCRATS SELECT
THEIR DELEGATES
To the National Convention,
Which Meets in New York
City on June 26.
"Waco, Tex.—Sounding a warnlnK
against the "reactionary elements in
our own party," and declaring that
"we must work hard to win the vic-
tory for a progressive democracy."
Marshall Hicks of San Antonio in his
keynote speech before the state dem-
ocratic. convention Tuesday, following
his election as chairman of the con-
vention, told the group of Texas dem
ocrats that William G. McAdoo "is
the outstanding leader of progressive
democrats and the only man with
whom we can win in November."
Mr. Hicks' reference to Mr. McAdoo
was greeted with cheering approval
by the convention.
In closing his speech Mr. Hicks read
a telegram from Mr. McAdoo address-
ed to the democrats of Texas assem-
bled in convention. This telegram
said: "I wish to convey the heartiest
greetings to the democrats of Texas
in convention at Waco; also to say to
them that what they have already
done and whpt they will do at New
York will clinch the victory for pro-
gressive. democracy just as they
clinched it at Baltimore in 1912 for
progressive democracy and Woodrow
Wilson."
Platform Resolutions Adopted.
In behalf of your committee on reso-
lutions, and as Its chairman, the fol-
lowing resolutions, which were unani-
mously adopted, are. presented:
The democrats of Texas, in conven-
tion assembled' at Waco, believe that
the democratic party should remain
true to progressive democratic prin-
ciples and secure to the people the re-
storation of the clean, efficient and
economic government, the high con-
ception of public duty, and the notable
Ideals of service to humanity that char-
acterized the eight years in office of
the immortal statesman and benefactor
of mankind—Woodrow Wi.son.
Recognizing in William Gibbs Mc-
Adoo the outstanding exponent of the
progressive and liberal thought of
America and of the above principles,
we therefore instruct our delegates to
the national convention to be held at
New York to vote as a unit for the
nomination of William Gibbs McAdoo
as the democratic candidate for presi-
dent of the United States so long as
his name is before the convention: and
that they also vote as a unit on all
questions arising at that convention,
and that the delegates in attendance
at the^convention be authorized to cast
the entire vote of the delegation.
We unhesitatingly declare our con-
fidence in his incorruptible honesty,
his exalted patriotism and his unpre-
cedented executive ability.
Because of his experience and the
knowledge acquired during more than
five years as ex offico president of the
Pan-American Congress, William Gibbs
McAdoo is especially equipped for ser-
vice to Texas and the Southwest in
bringing about a commercial and social
relationship to the great advantage of
our entire citizenship.
Drive Grafters to Prison.
We demand that the grafters and
corruptionists be driven out of Wash-
ington and out O&the government ser-
vice, and into the penitentiaries of the
country.
We urge that immediately after
March 4,1925, the democratic president
then in office call a special session of
congress to consider the farm problem
and put into effect the best possible
measures for the relief of agriculture.
This special session of congress
should pass a measure of railroad re-
form wjiich will produce more effec-
tive railroad service, and reduce
freight and passenger rates to the
people, while at the same time pro-
tecting the rights of labor and legit-
imate investment in railroad prop-
erties. '
Repeal of Tariff Bill.
The same congress should forth-
with repeal the Fordney-McCumber
tariff bill and enact a just and fair
tariff measure, giving to the farm-
ers a restored world market for their
products and the opportunity to buy
the things they consume at reason-
/ able prices; while such a tariff bill
should do justice to industry and
business and the public, it should pre-
clude the possibility of continuing the
iniquitous and inexcusable system of
robbing the people under the guise of
tariff laws for the enrichment of the
few and the campaign contributors
at the expense of the people. The
grip of Wall Street should be taken
off the treasury department and the
Federal Reserve system and those
great instrumentalities should aga'n
be operated, as they were under the
Wilson administration, for the bene-
fit of all the people and not made, as
now, the servants of specia privilege.
We unqualifiedly condemn the pol-
icy of isolation foroed upon the Ameri-
can people for partisan political pur-
poses by the republican party. It has
hazarded the business of the nation,
J
I
promoted actual wars, prevented the
stabilization of demoralized world con-
ditions, rendered impossible the re-
storation of the indispensable foreign
markets for the American farmer and
producer and f.reuted the existing un-
precedented agricultural depression
which is paralyzing prosperity in all
lin?s of activity.
America the World l.eader.
We demand that wiih the least
possible delay America shall again,
resume the role of helpful co-opera-
tion and leadership in world affairs
which she attained with so much pride
and profit to the American people
under the administration of Woodrow
Wilson, and believe that this great
nation should occupy the vacant chair
reserved for her in the councils of
the civilized nations of the earth. We
favor the adherence of the United
States to the now established world
court. '
We heartily congratulate the tax-
payers of Texas upon the passage of
the Garner-Simmons democratic re-
duction bill, which received the sup-
port of every democratic senator and
representative In congress. Under this
beneficient law over 6,640,000 federal
taxpayers are benefited more than they
would have been under the proposed
.republican Mellon plan, while fewer
than 10,000 receive less reduction. We
heartily endorse the course of our
democratic senators and representa-
tives who supported this legislation,
and we accord especial praise and con-
gratulations to Its distinguished pro-
ponent, Representative John M. Gar-
ner of Texas.
Against Child Labor.
We favor the adoption of a consti-
tutional amendment prohibiting child
labor, and the establishment of a na-
tional labor court.
We favor just and liberal treat-
ment by the government of the Unit-
ed States of the soldiers and^ sailors
who risked their lives in defense of
civilization in the world war. and of
the dependents of those who lost their
lives in that conflict.
We believe the veterans' bureau
should be cleaned out. and honestly,
efficiently and humanely administered
The ballot in the hands of women
has proven a powerful weapon for good
government. Their use of the fran-
chise has elevated the standards of
citizenship and materially improved
conditions, morally, politically and
economically.
We heartily indorse the law recent-
ly exacted by congress restricting im-
migration from foreign countries as
sound American policy and a safe-
guard to our institutions and eco-
nomic welfare.
Against Modifying Volstead Act.
We are opposed to legalizing the
manufacture and sale of light wines
and beer, or to any modification of
the Volstead act which would increase
the alcoholic content of beverages per-
mitted to be sold or which would in
any wise lessen the stringency of its
provisions.
It is an insult to the American na-
tion to say that the real and effective
enforcement of our prohibition laws
is impossible, or that it is not a prime
duty of the nation; and we demand
that the whole moral and physical
force of the government shall be put
behind It. We believe that it is in-
dispensable to the real enforcement
of the law that there should be an
undoubted and determined will to en-
force the law on the part of those
entrusted with its government, and to
this end we favor the divorcement of
all prohibition enforcement officials
from politics and the placing of them
under the civil service.
Principles for Nation.
Believing firmly in the virtue, fi-
delity and vitalizing power of our state
and national prohibition laws, in-
cluding the Volstead act, we instruct
our delegates to vote for writing these
principles into the national platform
of our party, and to vote for the nom-
ination of William Gibbs McAdoo for
president and for a candidate for vice
president who adheres to them and
stands for their enforcement.
It is th > sense of this convention
that all delegates elected to the na-
tional democratic convention should
be Instructed to support ait measures
looking toward a platform declaration
in favor of complete political equality
between men and women and a decla-
ration in favor of a strict enforcement
of the eighteenth amendment and the
Volstead act, and to this end we de-
mand that no man or woman be sent
as a delegate to said convention who
is not 100 per cent in favor of woman
suffrage, prohibition and its enforce-
ment.
We believe in the Jeffersonian prin-
ciple of government by the will of the
majority, and we declare that the time
has come when the democratic party
in national convention assembled
should bv progressive enough to nom-
inate Its candidates for president and
vice president by majority vote. We
therefore instruct our delegates to the
national convention to vote for the
adoption of both temporary and per-
manent rules under <*hich it will be
in order for the national convention
at any time to make nomiaations by
majority vote.
Governor Pat M Netf Tuesday was
recommended to the state democratic
convention as a delegate at lartfe to
the party's national meeting in New
York, but he declined in a persona)
privilege speech to the delegates ixuoi
all over Te/.us to be considered for

cial committee and the convention
