That man is Judge Walter Clark, now Chief Justice of the Supreme Court and the hero of roro gressive democracy. Long bef ore t h e Democratic National Conyentioh at"Balti more. Judge Clark heralded his progressive platform from one end' of the state to the other and enunciated the principles up m which he would be a candidate for Senator. When ' that great onvantion assembled, it em bodied (not copied) in its plat- from the major "part of the great principles advocated by Judge Clark, and did you know that our candidate tor the presidency, " Governor Wilson, is now running on and proclaiming-to the people of the Union the very same dtarinepjii before by North Carolina s able jurist? The platform, of Judge Clark can not be quest tioued, because it is the; Democratic platform of thej nation and of our state, and if you question his, then youi question Governor Wilson's, Locke Craige's and every Democratic candidate J.n the field seeking election. From the time this worthxtsi8ance- tf course it is well man was a soldier ooy ana shouldered his musket at the call of his state in behalf of our country's cau&e, and marched over the Virginia hills with Lee and Jackson and offered his young life as a sacrifice, if needs be, for the Corfederacy, no person true to his state has had the temerity to question his in tegrity and patriotism. His life has been dedicated and consecrated to the people of this state, and his career is ah open book for the inspec tion of the public, and nO person can say aught against him. When there was. cessation of war Judge Clark returned to his people and took up their cause for justice and. right and to relieve his fellow brethen of unjust laws and tyrannical . corporative in fluence and combined trust oppression. Had it not been for Judge Clark and men of his type, the people of this state would have -been over ridden by unjust laws and the laborer, poor ; man and farmer would have been crushed to earth and ground to powder. He has had the manhood, courage and integ rity to see that the' laws of our state are fairly and .im partially administered, . re gardless of classes. ' All this, notwithstanding' the unlimit ed influence of combined for ces, illegal trusts and op pressive corporations. -As a jurist Judge Clark is by far the-ables; in the south, and eerualt d by f ew Jn the Union. He is eer abrest with the elected United States Senator ta succeed Senator .Simmons he will be another Vance, an i iforth Caf lihal will be heard from TlleasibfisI jThe people will have a senator! of whom they miy well be proud ior their interests -will be his . : .-- .... . ;-v . :-?f-. .-. lis - iUi - ;- J"-H -t and their rights will be se curely guarded. It behooves every old sol dier, every f aimer, laborer, poor man and every person who earns his bread by the sweat of his brow, to rally to the Iront on November 5th and vote for Judge Clark for senator. Let us out in a man whxKwill stand by the masses under any and all conditions, one wno will protect the interests of the people at .all hazards, one whoin 4;he poli ticians, trusts, monopolies, combines and illegal corpora tions would be glad to see go down in defeat so they could continue with their grafts and robberies of the people's property and rights. It was Judge Clark, during the time that railroad - and factory employees were lighly con sidered by the courts, that came to their aid and had passed, by., the legislature the aw Known as tne x enow Servant Act which law now protests "the employees and makes 4he employer liable for negligent injuries sustained by the employee, ana una class of man should ever be oud in their praise and they should support him above all others and render him their hearty and unqualified as nown that these corporations will fight him and will en deavor to coerce their em ployees to do likewise, but gentlemen, you are free, you ive in a free land, and let not your voices be quelled or your ballot stifled, nor your desires trampled under foot to gratify the pecuniary greed of this class. Let us have a man 01 the people, for the people, and by the people, one that will stand by the masses, regardless of circumstances. - And such being the case; I ask you to cast your vote for Judge Clark for United States Senator.

Thorns Settle spoke; here Thurs day night in the coe?t house to a large audience. Arriving at 8 :40 o'clock in an .automobile on ac count of having beu left by bis train, he apologized for being late and opened up in his usual style. Before his appearanoe, John L. Rendleman hadintrfeuced Q. DrB RaynoldS) who had cansumed sev eral minutes telling the crowd what Mr. Settle had in store, for them when he did came. 4 :J Aftor the prelimuary apology, Mr. Sattle outlined. his position. "This government of yours," he said, "is not a game of : shance. It is in the hands of. political. parties; of two pariseswho will for many years biaoe :ai here tofore control. 1 ..Jave never and am too old now to begin advocating things I do not believe in. "I regret that Locke Craig is not here tonight. I asked him to meet me; but he declined. They call Craig i4The Little- Giant of the Democracy of the West," but he is not the giant enough to de fead the record of his party. The question. "What is a Damocrat?" the Democratic State Executive Committee at Raleigh could not even decide." ; He spoke at length on the pen sion bill, using Judge Clark's fig ures to show how much money goes out of the State. Speaking of tbe tariff, de declared that the Southern cotton mills would suf fer destruction if the proposed re duction on cotton goods were made. He read, letters from North Carolina mill men to the Ways and Means Committee ask-, ing lor a bearing, and begging that Southern mills be considered before making the reduction. He attacked the freight rates permitted by the State Legisla ture, He mveighed-againat Gov ernor Kitchin for not busting the trusts, and accused him of sleep ing with the same. After displaying a number of newspaper clippings regarding the vaaious Democratic candidates, he took up the local option plank in his platform." He declared that liquor questions is not amor al question, as the Democrats claim. He painted an awful pic ture of- financial embarrassment to school?, counties, towns . and the State if the present condition continues. After bringing in the charge that Governor Wilson is running in name only, and that . Bryan is again the real candidate he said that if Wilson were elected Bryan would be Secretary of- State, and Joseph as (Orange Blossoms):Dan iels, as he called him, . would be Secretary of the Treasury, fortunes In Faces.
