Platform of Georgia Democrats stresses state power and currency
The Georgia State Democratic convention adopts a platform favoring limited federal powers, local self-government, and a return to gold and silver as money. It calls for repeal of the prohibitory tax on state bank issues, silver coinage, a royal income tax, judicial order, and strict anti mob violence stance. It also endorses tariff and currency positions, education funding, and staged convict leasing changes while opposing public railroad ownership. The document includes campaign notices and Miller County juries, with local meeting schedules and appointments for the Central Democratic Club.
