VOL. XLVI
RALEIGH LETTER
Special Correspondence.
Raleigh, N. C., Sept. 21.—Well,
we had our old acquaintance,
Marion Butler of Sampson and
Washington, with us in Raleigh
% again the last few days, and if'
current report is correct we will
have some more of him here dur
ing the next legislature. It was
at first mooted that the fusionist
of negro domination days had
called to hold a conference with
his newpaper friends here, the
editor of the Raleigh Times and
the -Raleigh correspondent of the
Greensboro News. No ''official"
announcement of the nature of
this joint talkfest has been form-,
ally made but tht*re may be some
outcroppiugs of it in the editorial
columns of the Raleigh.afternoon
paper and the Raleigh corres
pondence of the Greensboro News
in the near future.
- Jdr. Butler was also here to at
tend the hearing of the Republi
can application for a restraining
order against the State Board of
v Elections, wherein OaUdidate Jen
kins (the party to the complaint)
sought to stop the functioning of
that law this year.
Judge Dismisses Bale Against Board
of Elections.
Judge Kerr, after hearing argu
ment, dismissed the rule against
the State Board of Elections which
he issued ten days rfgo, and the
operation of the absentee voters'
law is now as effective AS ever.
Council for plaintiff appealed, it
is true, bUt as Judge Kerr dis
missed the case "because of the
l%ck of cause of action in the com
plaint," it is a safe prediction to
make that the higher court will
sustain Judge Kerr's decision by
adding the final knockout blow to
this partisan attempt by the Re
publican campaign management
to kill a good law. The absentee
voters' law not only protects the
ballot of bona fide citizens to par
ticipate in elections when they are
unavoidably absent from their
home precincts, but it protects
the sick also. Following is the
provision in the law that does
this:
"It shall be the duty of the
County Board of . Elections to
mail or send to any voter absent
from the county, or who is physi
cally unable to attend in person,
on application for same by such
voter or by any person for him,"
a form of ballot, etc.
Negroes in Politics This Year.
Evidence of the purpose to fig
ure the negro vote in the election
in North Carolina this year is
mnlitplying. Ever since the Re
publican candidate for President
received the large delegation, of
negroes, led by the negro Repub
lican national committeeman from
Georgia, at his home in Ohio a
short time ago, when he was prom
ised a large negro' woman vote in
the South, as well, as of negro
men, there has been activity in
many eastern counties of negro
campaigners for both Harding and
the Republican State ticket.
One only has to revert to But
ler's performances, of 1891-'96 to
to see how all this fits in with his
purpose to come to the legislature
again from the Republican county
of Sampson.
Republican Slash Money in S. C.
Another proof of the use of
much of the big campaign slush
fund by the national Republican
managers in North Carolina is be-
Jng furnished by the numerous
little campaign newspapers (so
called) that are starting up. They
run no advertising and their col
umns are filled with reprint Re
publican propaganda, almost ex
clusively. The bills are taken
care of by the finance committee
of the Republican national com
mittee. After election day these
campaign sheets will yield up the
ghost and disappear.
But the point is this: Demo
crats should at once come to an
appreciation of the fact that the
enemy is more active in North
Carolina this year than in any
election in many years, and take
THE ALAMANCE GLEANER*

steps accordingly. North Caro
lina is normally a Democratic
State, and never more so than at
the present time. But in order to
perpetuate our political ascend
ency General Activity must keep
a sharp eye on his enemy General
Apaty, and muster the Democratic
forces to their full strength.
Women Must Register.
The difficult task just experi
enced in Raleigh of getting most
of the white women to register
their names lact Saturday, the last
day for registration, so they could
vote on the subject of a schobl tax
in this city, reveals a condition
that should arouse active women
and Democratic men to tackle the
obvious job before them. Women
with a distaste for participating |
in elections so strong that they ,
refuse or consent only after urgent ,
appeals from others, when an
election is at hand that affects
the education of their children, j
need to be looked after more par- f
ticularly than was supposed would i
be the case, if they, are to figure \
to any considerable extent in the (
general election in November. It
is up to the Democratic men to
urge and bring their moral and
family influence to bear on the 1
female members of their families, 1
by impressing upon them their (
DUTY to get their names on the 1
registration books when they are ,
opened on the last day of Septem- '
ber. The ruling of the Attorney .
General that women must register 1
in person, should not deter them
for a moment, and the men of the
family be prompt to offer to ac- J
company them to the registration I
place. Most of them perhaps will
go alone or with some other wo
men, once their minds are "made i
up," and the other kind should '
not he allowed to be left behind !
because of timidity. .Go to it,
gentlemen. Somp of them ap
parently are going to need a lot (
of eloquent "pejrsnasion" of one |
sort an' another. j
I would jog yon with one re- (
minder, however. Be careful with ,
your "cave stuff" in this day and ;
generation of the Nineteenth ,
Amendment.
Brighter Outlook For Cotton and
IT Tobacco.
Despite the alleged purpose of |
Republican "high finance" to ;
create as much political capital (
as possible but of the cotton and 1
tobacco markets between now and
Nov. 2, election day, the cotton I
and tobacco growers are going to
come out better than the manipu- j
la tors of the mfcrkets planned. !
The Lord helps those who help
themselves, you bet, and the
meetings of the growers last week
and this week will eventuate ip
the perfection of ways and means ;
for adequate relief. 1
