CLARK FOR UNITED STATES SENATOR:
n Wright, Esq , of the Salisbury ear
ttiiste the Judge Should be UimeaV,
Published by Bequest)
To the Democratic voters:
At last tne time nas come
in North Carolina when her
yeomanry can go to the bal
lotoox ana nave a- voice m
the selection of a United
States Senator, and thiR
special perogative has been
given the people through the
uuceasinar efforts of Judge
Walter Clark and a few other
leading citizens of our state.
: Without any reflections on
Senator bimmans and Gov
ernor Kitchin, we desire to
present the name 01 a man
f6r United States Senator
who is the peer of. any man
in the state, and from the
standpoint of ability and in
tellectuality th 3 greatest man
in North Carolina, and if
elected to .the senate, will be
the representative of the en
tire DeoDle, regardless of
classes, but for the interest
of the masses. 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. R. Lee Weight.

10M SETTLE THURSDAY NISHT.
Says State Exacntive Conlttee Coald dot
Eien Define 1 fieoocrat.
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,
