A TEST OF STRENGTH
between the Enterprise Carriages and
any other make shows where their
merit lies. While strong in construc-
tion, their graceful outline shows the
work of skilled designers, and their
finish the mark of past-masters of the
carriage-builders' art. Their owner-
ship stamps the possessor as a person
of judgment in selecting, and one fore-
seeing to his bank account.

I We, the People's party of Texas, lu convention assembled, renew oux- H
I allegiance to the undying principles tnuuciaieu in tiie national piau'orm i
II adopted at the convention held in ouiuiia in and in Cincinnati in H
■ 1900; and we congratulate the advocal,tl8 ^ Keioixn upon tiie rapid H
| growth of economic sentiment, and upon the interest manifested among M
■ the masses in favor of placing our government in the nands of the M
■ people, to whom it rightfully belongs. "
I We arraign the State Democracy f its maladministration of State II
B government for the past quarter of a century; its platform promises Ml
■ are now a list of its past failures. Pledged to reduce the number of II
■ district judges, it has augmented them, fledged to protect the inter- II
I est of shippers, it has levied a tribute of "•Ail the traffic will bear," and I
■ when violations of law have been discovered, it has compromised with II
H corporations for a pittance to the people and an equal or greater share il
■ to its politicians and henchmen. Pledged to a re- ■
■ duction of taxation, they have, with few exceptions, levied a "tax on ev- B
I ery form of human endeavor." PledSed 10 reserve the public domain II
■ for actual settlers, it has donated t&e people's heritage to railroads and M
■ non-resident aliens, individual and corporate. Pledged to reduce official M
■ fees and salaries.it has enacted a law that many of its partisans will not H
■ defend. Pledged to prevent a discri mination against any kind of lawful ■
■ money, it has defeated a bill prohibiting "goid contracts." Pledged Ml
I to free silver and the overthrow of Cleveland's financial policy in 1896, H
■ its delegation in the national convention at Kansas City opposed a spe- ■
■ cific declaration for the free and unl imited coinage of gold and silver at ■
■ the ratio of 16 to 1, and opposed the nomination of Chas. A. Towne, ■
■ the logical candidate of the Bryan Democracy for Vice President, and ■
■ selected in his stead a relic of the Cleveland administration, one Ad- I
■ lai E. Stevenson. Pledged to the suppression of crime and the en- ■
■ forcement of the statutes of the State, it has in violation of law ■
■ permitted the sheriffs throughout the State to appoint an unlimited num- ■
■ber of deputies. Pledged to a free ballot and fair count, it persists ■
■ in "Harrison county" methods in the country, while the ward heeler is ■
■ assisted in the prostitution of the ballot by the so-called Australian ■
■ ballot system. Pledged to an economical administration of the State ■
■ government, it has squandered $60,000 of the people's money in a ■
■ specially called session of the legislature which resulted in no benefit!
■ whatever to the taxpayers of the State. ■
■ 1. We demand the submission of an amendment to the State consti- ■
■ tution providing for a people's government under the system of Direct ■
■ Legislation known as the Initiative and Referendum and the Imperative ■
■ Mandate. ■
■ 2. We demand the abolition of the Railroad Commission, as past expe- ■
■ rience has proven it to be a snare and a fraud, a useless burden upon ■
■ the commercial and industrial interests of the people; and in lieu there- ■
■ of we recommend State ownership a nd operation of transportation lines ■
■ to such extent as may be necessary to regulate freight rates. ■
■ 3. We favor the construction, ownership and operation of the Nicara- ■
■ gua Canal by the United States government. ■
■ 4. We demand an efficient system of public free schools throughout the ■
■ State, and that all school books be furnished by the State at cost. ■
■ 5. We denounce the cumbrous judi cial system of Texas and demand ■
■ that the expense of our courts be reduced, and that a fair, speedy and ■
II Impartial trial to be given in allcases ■
■ 6. We denounce the cowardly action of the Democratic legislature in ■
■ ignoring the demands of the railway employees in Texas prohibiting the ■
■ running of "double-headers." ■
■ 7. We demand that Article 4896 ofthe Revised Statutes of the State of ■
■ Texas be so amended as to make it a penal offense, punishable by a ■
■ fine not exceeding $600 for any sheriff to appoint a greater number of ■
■ deputies than is provided for in said article. ■
■ S. To aid in an equitable distribution of the burdens of taxation, we ■
■ favor a law requiring that all evidences of indebtedness in the shape ■
■ of notes in existence on the first day of January of each year, wheth- ■
■ er secured or unsecured, be rendered for taxes according to their value ■
■ before such note or evidence of debt shall be collectable in the courts of ■
■ the State. And that where all such such notes are secured by property. ■
■ then such property shall be subject to a discount on its valuation to ■
■ the extent of the secured note. ■
■ 9. We demand such changes In our present State law as will correct ■
■ the abuses of the fee system. ■
■ 10. We demand the encouragement of a libel law fair and just to the ■
■ press and the public. ■
