Mr. Editor:?Please allow me
through the columns ct your paper
to aak a few questions and say just a
few things concerning the political
iontlook In the state as I see it. On
'tomorrow we hope to achieve the
greatest Democratic victory in the
history of the nation by electing
Woothov Wilson President and an
| overwhelming majority in both housea
of Congress. f.
Out there is another thing we are
| concerned about, that is our county
land State election, which is of vital
Importance to every man. woman
|ana child in North Carolina. We
jare also to express our choice for a
U. S. Senator. That' is, as we are
told, wo must first vote tho straight
Democratic ticket, then ^rote for U.
S. Senator. But before going further
into this I wish to ask Just a few
questions and give' the answers
therp.Q.
Who is dictating the policies of
our national politics?
Answer. W. J. Bryan, Alton B.
Pa'rkor and others.
Q. Who wrote the Democratic
platform of 191S?
A. W. J. Bryan.
?< hob n, a. hijau aiwajb' supported
the nominee or his party In
State and nation?
A. No.
Q. Haa Alton B. Parker, now national
committeeman, and once the
Btandard bearer of the Democratic
party, in the nation always voted for
the nominee of hla party?
A. No.
Q. Who outside of the State of j
North Carolina, are seeking to dictate
whom we shall or shall not vote
for for U. S. Senator?
A. W. J. Bryan.
Q. Who was it that stood up before
the State Executive Committee
in 1898 and plead with that committee
to turn.the grand old Democrat-]
ic party over to the Populists, in or-i
der that she might be saved from
destruction?
A. W. W'. Kltchin.
Q. Who was It that it opposed
the wreck and ruin of the Democratic
party at that time by fusing with
the Populists, and said no, we won't
fuse with you, you are not worthy;
we will run single and alone, and
stood squarely on the principles of
Democracy?
A. F. M. Simmons.
Q. Who won for North Carolina
the greatest victory In the history of
State politics?
A. F. M. Simmons, who is a candidate
to succeed himself.
Q. Where did all of this opposition
to F. M. Simmons originate?
A. Jn the mind and personal ambitions
of W. W. Kltchin.
Q. Who was it that went up and
down the State and abused Locke
Craig four years ago; calling him pet
names, like Simmons is being called
today?
A. W. W. KTtchin.
Q. Who* has got to voto for Locke
Craig for tho best office in gift of the
people of the state?
, A. W. W. Kitchin.
Q. Who was in the right, Kitchin,
when he was going up and down the
state preferring charges against
Craig, or the great Democratic party
who only four years later have vindicated
Locke Craig by making him
their standard bearer for the governor
without opposition?
A. The people will decjdo by giving
Locke Craig the largest majority
ever given a governor of this state.
There is quite a number of things
I would like to mention,, but time
1 and space forbids.
Now to the main point I wish to
make is this?has the state execu;
live properly defined the word Democrat.
Or did the great national conf
vention at Baltimore allow a man of
some other political belief name the
candidates for President and write
his platform, somebody has blunderThe
state executive committee defines

Yet. according to the definition i
