Republican Headquarters,
Machineville, N C, Sept 15, 04,
Dear Brother Pat: I have just
made a flying trip over to Randolph
on politikal bigness, and they're a
organizin Jndis Iscariat and An
nuities clubs over there in our party,
1 knowed the republicans over there
were up on politikal skemes, and I
went to get the pints. When they
get the county full of these clubs
they'll carry the elecshun as shure
as the sun sets iu the north. Of
course, the democrats over there
dont no this. They dont no how to
do such things. They dont have
the right kind of men to take the
leed in soch matters. I tried to get
our fellers over there ' to organize
Benedict Arneld clubs, but they just
lafTttd at me, aud seid they tried that
once, and every republican politishun
claimed that Dan and Mary Ann had
achieved grater success in South
Dakoty than Benidict ever did at
West Pint, and if they had been a
goin to name their clubs after men
they thought Dan and Mary Ann
wood cum in first.
Now here's what the Judis Iscar
iat clubs can do. They can go to
every democrat who bus failed to get
everything he wants, and whose party
has not done just like he wanted it
to do, and they'll get hnn to jine
tile cluu aim he II come right over
into the republican party. When I
found out what this club was for 1
knowed that Benedict Arneld was
nowhere to be compared with its
iin'iiiliers. mid I miid no more about
Heiieiliet clulio' fur I eed that I
wasnt 111 11 by a jug full. 1011
know, Pat, there is men in the dem
ocrat party who dont get everything
they want, au.i if they're a little
shaky they'll jine this club. When
you hear a democrat talkin about
goin over to the republicans you
may just no he's a goin to jine the
Judis club, but true, dyed-in-the-
wool democrats wont do it. They
say they'll fite out their grievances
in their own party. We dont fool
time with them. Now, cant you see
why they're Judises?
The Annanics clubs can do more
a litin the Watts Law than all the
est of the republican party. Its a
bitrgeiclub than the Judis club, and
the Annanieses boss the Judises.
Nobody can jine it except levenuc
doodles, bungsmellers and republi
can politishuns. They let me jine
the Judis club, but when I wanted
to jine the Annanies club they said
I wasn't yet qualifide, but I might
try my hand on the Watts Law
awhile, and if I cood tell lies big
ennff about the thing they might
give me office and let me in. If I
had took offis when I jined tho re
publicans instead of tiki 11 money
I wood have been iualifide by offis
to jine the Annanies club.
You no our fellers send men a-
l'ound to addrcs the people on the
ishues of the day. Scnce tho re
publicans has decided to repcel the
Watts Law the members of the An
nanies club do all the speekiu. Now
Pat, dont give the secret away, but
when you hear one of em a runnin
down the Watts Law you can just
look out,he's an Annanies, and "Dont
give a cuss for the country people"
is the pass word. The mottoe of
the club is "Licker for all and offis
for the doodles and bungsmellers."
When they inishiate you, you must
tell a lie about the Watts Law at
big as the ona old Annanies told
and you mustn't die either like the
old man did when be cnokeu to
death on that one he told about
selliu the land. They go around
and tell the people that there s more
blockade licker sence the Watts Law
was enacted than ever was made be'
fore! Do vou see bow this is? All
the revenue olliiers is republicans,
and they dont try to keep the block
aders from doin bizness, because they
think this will make the people
blame the Walts Law and the dem
ocrats for the blockndin. Of course
its not so, but tbats the bizness of
this club.
They tell the people that the Watts
Law has fooled everybody, that its
not a temperance measure, and that
the democrats dont give a cuss for
the common people. Some of cm
say they're afraid the cities will get
to nil in the country, and argu that
18 per cent of tho people of this
Stuit live iu the cities and towns
while only 82 per cent live in the
country. They say its daugerous,
Of course, thats makin out like a
fice dogs biggei'n an elifant, but
thats the bizness of this club. One
of them was a talkin about how the
old black niggers voted up in Green
sboro, just like they used to do when
120, 000 of em voted the republican
ticket. Of course, its not so, but
thats what this club is for. It looks
to me like the Watts Law is mostly
in favor of tho country people, be
cause it takes all the licker out of
the country and dont ask the country
people to help do it; but when the
towns want it took out of their way
they have to do it theirselvcs. But
our club tells it the other wav for
campane effect, for its their bizness
to do that way.
The thing that makes our fellers
maddest about the old Watts Law is
lots of em was a makin t.vo dollers
a day watchiu the stills and a helpin
the stillers bloekade(just a winken
at em when they took too much
meal), but now they're out of a job.
Dont you no it makes a man mad to
take his job away from him? Why
if a still diden't pay any more tax
than a doller a week, they paid a re
publican two dollers a day to watch
it, and if the stills was scarcer than
the republicans who wanted to watch
stills they put up enuff stills to every
republican who wanted it cood get a
job. Now this is all changed, and
we're a goin to give em zip for doin
it. It tickles me to see them dem
ocrat jailers almost a perishin be
cause the Watts Law made licker
scarce, aud there's notliin to put the
levil in folkl and make em lite and
cut and slash each other, and they
dont have anybody much to go to
jail. And the old democrat sol
iaitiis dont have any duckets any
more, and tliev dont gel to pull mon
ey out of the county like we did
when we had the offises. It tickles
me to see them and the jailers a
gettin lean and holler-eyed.
While I was gone they told mc
about a speech a man made over
there in Randolph the uther day.
He was one of our big speckers.
After comnientin on the glorious
achcevnients of the J udises and
Annanieses (thats the members of
the clubs), he said he wanted the
ballett box to be as sacred as the
poolpit; and he blamed the democrats
for not makin it that way, because
our fellers cant get the oflises to do
it theirselvcs, and if its not done
you can just blame the democrats.
Say, Pat, what is a poolpit? I've
asked every member of our club, ai.d
not one of em can tell.
He wanted tho elecshun law
changed. If it was changed so every
igger cood vote dead-or-alive and
revenue doodles allowed to vote four
times each, we cood get the oflises
and reinstait the bungsmellers who
lost their jobs on account of the
Watts Law. With the right kind
of an elecshun law the registrar and
judges of elecshun must be doodles
and bungsmellers of at least five
years experience. Now, if you'll
give us an elecshun law like that
the old Watts Law will be repeeled
and we'll have plenty of licker to
put the devil into folks and make em
fite and cut and slash each other,
and the jailers will have plenty of
prisoners, and the store keepers
and gangers will get their jobs back
at two dollers a day. Thats the
way that grate speckers wanted
things done up. I dont know just
whether he said it in them words,
because there was several democrats
out there a listenin at him, but thats
what he wanted. Now we've got to
do snmthin for these doodles and
bungsmellers who give their lives to
the success of the republican party,
and if we dont get that old Watts
Law repeeled they're bound to Buffer.
Let every man who is a republican
or a renegade democrat, put bis shold
cr to the wheel, and hist the mottoe
licker for everybody aud oftis for
the doodles and bungsmellers.

WASHINGTON LETTER.
Important Happenings at
by a Live Correspondent.
Washington, Sept. 19th As
proof that the negro question is
something more than a Southern
problem from a social standpoint
and affects Northern business men, I
submit the following interview with
a thoroughly reliable gentleman:
Mr Robert M Moorman who for
a number of years has been Washing
ton correspondent of some of the
leading Sou'hi.rn newspapers, has
returned to this city after an ab
sence of six months in the south.
In au interview be points out a re
sult of Rooseveltism in that section
that has not been generally com
men ted upon.
"The negro problem which has
been so aggravated by President
Roosevelt's actions, presents an in
dustrial as well as nocial phase,"
said Mr Moorman. "The industrial
side of the question seems to have
been overshadowed by the President's
startling social equality ideas as
well nigh lost fn view. There is in
the South a labor question that
in time, if Rooseveltism continues,
will become a vital problem. In
deed, it is now rapidly approaching
crisis. Negroes are refusing to
work even at good wages. Why?
To be exact, there are two general
reasons:
"First. Rooseveltism.
Second. The temporary prosperi
ty of the country.
'President Roosevelt's negro poli
cy bus made the negro believe that
be is so exalted that work is beneath
him. 1 speak of the negro in gen
eral. Many of our northern friends
not know the real thing iu the
;ro line, lie pays: "We are bet
ter than white folks now and we
won't work no more. That inau in
the White Hoose is our friend; the
great United Suus government is
behind us. We are safe.'
"It is very difficult to get fitld
hands in the South. Cotton-choppers
and cotton-pickers are in de
mand and the crops suffer much for
lack of labnr. House servants are
procured with trie greatest difficulty
at good wages. This, too, when
negroes loaf around in large num
bers without any visible means of
support and refuse work with scorn.
In a conversation with a promi
nent gentleman from Mobile who
was going to the G A R encamp
ment and who had formerly lived in
Massachusetts, I think he remarked:
Roosevelt has played hell in the
South. I am in the shipping busi
ness, but it is with the greatest dif
ficulty that I can get negroes to
work on my boats, although there
are gangs of them lying around idle.
A few weeks ago one of my boats
full of passengers was delayed 24
hours because 1 could not get labor.
They say they don't have to work
now since Roosevelt is in the White
House.'
"The social aspect of the case is
bad enough, but the South can cope
with that. The Southerner can
drive a tramp away from his house,
but he cannot force hii.i into the
cotton field behind a mule. It is
the industrial question that is going
to give as much, if not more trouble,
than the social pioblem
To show only one instance of the
reckless extravagance of Roosevelt
and his methods of spending the
people s money by using the vessels
of the JNavy tor outings. 1 linvesti
sated the matter of the 1'resident
and other officials using the Sylph
and Dolphin, two dispatch boats
that belong to the Navy. I went to
the Navy Department and inquired
of the Chief Clerk for the informa
tion desired. He said it was a deli
cate matter, and declined to furnish
the information, except upon the att-
thontv of the Secretary. 1 went to
the Secretary's office, and had a talk
with Air Aonthouse, his private sec
retary. Mr Noidhiiuse decliuetl to
give any inl'oi niution regal ding mat
U-rs which occureU previous to Mr
Mortons en trance into ollice as hec
retary of the Navy. He said that
since July last. Mr Morton had used
the Dolphin on ore occasion, and
had given bis check on the Chicago
National Bank for one hundred aud
sixty-five dollars and seventeen cents
in payment therefor. He showed
me check. I acked if Mr Roosevelt
and others had given checks when
they used the Dolphin aud Sylpji,
and de-fired to know why Mr Morton
should pay, if others did not pay,
1 asked for the law on the subject,
but it was not cited. 1 mentioned
this because it if important that it
should be known, since if there
were no law allowing Mr Morion to
use 1U.JIIC proper. y for private a.
musement or convenience, there
would seem to be none allowing hit
predeDessors or lh president to do so;
and the fact that Mr Morton paid for
the use of the Dolphin proves that
Mr Roosevelt shonld, under the law,
also have paid on several occasions,

REPUBLICANS ON TEMPERANCE.
Evidence That the Party Has Changed Its
Platform Declaration en the Subject,
Dumot-rai.r Huml Hook.
By reference to the Republican
State platform, published in this
book, pages 1 to 10, inclusive, it will
be seen that that platform upon the
subject of temperance legislation by
the last Legislature is as follows:
"We favor, as we have ever favor
ed, just and equal laws for the pro
motion of temperance, but we de
nounce the Democratic Legislature
for the enactment of the Watts law,
for the reason that it was conceived
and enacted for political advantage,
under the guise of temperance re
form, and for its unjust and unfair
discrimination in conferring rights
and privileges upon the inhabitants
of incorporated towns and cities
which it denies to the citizens of the
country. But in pursuance of our
time-honored policy of local self-gov
ernment, we favor a law which sub
mits to the qualified voters of the
several counties and incorporated
towns of the State, at their request,
the question of whether they shall or
shall not be permitted to make and
sell intoxicating liquors, and the
faithful execution of their will as ex
pressed at the ballot box."
The Republican Stato platform,
as published in this book, contain
ing the above quotation, is an exact
copy of that platform as published
in The Raleigh Moring Post on the
morning of May 19th. 1904, the day
after the Republican State conven
tion at Greensboro, and in The Ral
eigh News and Observer on the
morning of May 20th.
The Greensboro Record of May
19th did not publish the platform,
but contained the following reference
to the temperance plunk of the plat
form: "J J Britt read the report of the
committee on platform, which was
an extensive typewritten document.
favoring a good law gov
erning the question of temperance,
condemning the Watts liquor law aud
believing the whiskey question should
be left to the voters of the districts
affected.
"On motion the platform was
unanimously adopted. Before the
vote was announced, ex-Judge Robin
son was recognized aud said he want
ed to give his dissent to the clause
11 reference to temperance. He
poke several minutes, saying God
forbid that the paths to the bar
rooms should be made more open
than now, and protesting against the
impeachment of Governor Aycock's
character.
"The platform was again voted on
and adopted."
The Charlotte Daily Observer did
not publish the plutform, but con
tained the. following reference to it,
in its issue of May 19th:
"ine only sensation, etc., was
when Judge Robinson
irose upon the reading of the report
of the committee on resolutions and
protested against the section con
demning the Watts law. '
Substantially the same account
Hioted above from The Charlotte
Observer appeared iu The Charlotte
News of May Hfth, 1904.
Sir. Thomas S. Rollins, Republi
can State chairman, is mailing to in
dividual voters in different parts of
the State under cover of ordinary
envelopes a lot of Republican litera
ture, among which is what purports
to be tho Republican State platform
adopted at Greensboro May 18th,
1904. In the platform thus being
distributed by Chairman Rollins, the
only reference the temperance and
temperance legislation is the follow'
iug:
".Will. We favor, as we havi
ever favored. just and equal laws for
the promotion of temperance, but in
pursuance of our time-honored policy
of local self-government we favor
law which submits to the qualified
voters of the several counties and in'
corporatcd towns of the State,
their request, the question of whether
they shall be permitted'to make and
sell intoxicating liquois, and the
faithful execution of their will as
expressed at the ballot box."
It will be seen from the above that
the portion of the temperance plan
as published the morning after the
day of the convention with reference
to the WatU bill and in the black
type, and referred to in the account
I " " v"uuu
Observer and Charlotte News is
omitted, leaving no speciflo reference
in the platform whatever to . the
Watts bill.
What does this mean? Have the
Republican bosses changed their
platform as adopted by the conven
tion? If so, when did they change
it and what was the purpose of the
change? Why are they sending
copies of this revised platform under
cover to individuals in different sec
tions, perhaps carefully selected sec
tions? It is a well-known practice
of the Republicans bosses to make
nominations of candidates in secret
caucus, to take down candidates after
they are nominated and put np other
candidates by committees without
consulting their people. They have
even gone bo far in some cafes in dis
regard of the voters of their prty as
to refer all nominations to commit
tees. Is it possible that the bosses
huvo now reached the point where
they have dared to change the plat
form (after the adjournment of their
convention?
