Big Basket Picnic at Farmer With Claad Kitchen a SpeakerChairman Miller Buif Correcting Malicious False hood! Being Circulated. The Democracy of Randolph county is aroused to the highest pitch already and . from now until the third day of November a strenu ous campaign in behalf of the Demo cratic ticket will be waged. No stone is teiug left unturned that will serve to opn the eyes of the people to the hidden crimes of the Republican administrations in State and County and the Kepubli can extravagance and tritktry in the management of the affairs of the nation is impressing the free and unprejudiced voters that success of the Republican party iu either County, State, or National elections will place our nation in immediate danger of brnkruptcy, crime, social unrest and starvation. One has only t) hear the issues discussed impartially, taking only bare facts into consideration without comment, to realize tne importance of Demo cratic success this full. Democratic headquarters is a busy place. Not only is Chairman Miller busy P-cnring speakers and making appointments, but every day he and his au-M.-fmts are called upon to trace up ami r-.rrect so.iu false statement or misieptesentation made by some unprincipled Republican ward healer Or speaker in the county. On Tuesday the report was circu lated that the Democratic Board of County Commissioners had issued $20,000 in bonds for the court house at their meeting Monday. As there is no truth in the report it was im mediately corrected aud the state ment is made that the court house will not only be built without a bond issue, but also without a spec ial tax levy, provided the Democrats are retained in power. Mr. Miller says that arrangements are being perfected f r holding bas ket picnics in many of the townships in the county nud he is gratified at the interest being manifested by the Democrats all over Randolph.

Aycock, in his speech at Troy Tuesday of this week, said that which made Mr. Bryan so great was not bis eloqueuce nor bis great mind, but his true heart which was a Democratic heart; a heart which is for equal rights to every man and no special privileges. Mr. Bryan makes himself the equal of all and the superior of none, declared Gov. Aycock. He is on a level with the greatest rulers of the universe, yet he is also on a level with the man who toils for his daily bread. The people nominated him. He was nominated in the homes of the toil, ers, the masses of the citizens ' of this great country, and it was against, the wishes of the professional poli ticians. Taft Sanction Democratic Rule In M. Carolina. He referred to the speech of Mr. Taft, at Greensboro several months ago in which he said that North Carolina would be better off if the Federal oflices in this State were filled by Democrats; and Mr. Taft spoke the tiuth, too, for the Repub lican parly us well as the whole citi zenship would be better off if all the unices were tilled by Democrat; that the oflice-holuing element had not forgiven Air. Taft for this state nieut. Public Economy. Go?. Aycock declared also that Mi. Bryan stands for puolio econo my. Most people are af raid to speak of ecouomy aud jet Congress is spending a billion dollars a year for the running expenses of the govern ment. The Repubhcn administra tion is today spending more of the people's money, when the country is at peace, than was necessary during the Civil War when a million sol diers had to be paid, supported aud transported, in addition to the other expenses of the government. Of the million dollars expended direct ly from taxation, every dollar of it comes out of the working men, the wage earners of this country. We pay it all. Iu the last analysis he showed how a b'lliou of dollars were added to the burden of consumers all over this land by the iudirec' taxa ion known as the tariff. It is a pitiful, it is a tsonowf ul ambition of these masters of fiuanoe that their names shall be handed down to pos terity as the richest, the most pow erful men the civilized country ever Ucuew. Money is their god. As is the government, so is the people. If the government is extravagant, the people will be extravagant. Also if the government is corrupt so will the people be. People Burdened Part of the running expenses of the government comes from the tariff tax. To illustrate, an article worth a dollar is imported from another country. The tax is fifty cents making the article cost one dollar and a half. The buyer has to make a profit, so he again raises the price; the article changes hands several times, and when theconsum er finally gets it the cost is two d.;l lars or more, and the consumer who Haptor man has to pay it the first costcf the article, the tax and the profits to each one who handles it. 1 his is where a part of the ex pn6es of runniug the government comes from, but not all. Combluce Oppress lie The working men are paying the taxes in another wav. Several firms making the same articles would join together and raise the price of thir goods. They would alsj at the same time reduce the wages of their employees. One man conducting a business without competition will not nay as much for wages as would fifteen or twentv concerns where there is competition aud a demand for labor. The prices on the output of these firms would be lower where Hit re was competition. When only oue mau is engaged in making a cer taiu article we must pay the pi ice he charges or go without it. tifttei or twenty firms making the same ar ticle would cause the price to lower consideiably. It will be better for the laborer, th buyer aud the con sumer when there are no trusts. The Democratic plan is to have free ii ml open competion and eveiy man to have equal rights. The strong ' man shall not take from the weak 1 man what little strength he has and give it unto one who already has (Continued oo fourth page) "RUIN AND DISGRACE" Attend Republican Rule Declares Mr. Watson A Plea for United Democ ( racy. The Democrats of Forsyth county organized a Democratic Club Fri day night with 267 members. The organization followed a stirring speech by Cyrus B. Watson. Among ether things, Mr. Watson said: "Now, is there anything this even ing, September 18th, 1908, that would make a man who was a Demo crat in 1904 desert his party? I submit there is nothing. I differ frequently ou certain questions with my party, but in the main, I have never disagreed with its principles. I disagreed with the Democratic party of the last Legislature in same matters. I disagreed iu such a manner that lifelong friends of mine and leaders of the Democratic patty, for which I had labored all thse years would scowl at me in the streets, and the disagreement wns so great that I would scowl back at them. But none of these questions are involved in the present campa gn. These questions are now set aside by all people and parties as not po litical questions, and not comiug from auy politic A party. Neither political p uly l as attempted to in ject them as issues into its pUtfoi m. Yes, dining this spring I have heard words and have leceive I letters from men, which were bitter indeed, lut 1 ho e some time to take these let ters and, with these old friends svho wrote them, laugh over them. Now I want to ask if there is anything in our platform that would cause a Democrat to cease to be a Democrat? No, our platform present the prin ciples of the Democratic party for one hundred aud eight years. 1 want to say to you to de noth ing dangerous. It is dangerous for a Democrat 10 scratch a ticket. I don't ever sciaoon them. (Au- plause), because when I sevfh them I have left iu my gun only half a load aud when I shoot, I want j whole load, both of powder and lead. "Now, let us not so far forget ourselves as to stay away from the polls in rJUS, but let us organize and h-.lp to fight the enemy. "l wish 1 Was able to go from the Ea t to the Tennessee line aud tell this message to all the people. I nave not long to live. 1 have ehil- dien and grand children: but I say to you that no strike ot this right hand shall aid in puttiug the K publican party over these children and grand-children. (Applause). 1 say it because I have tin-J it in the past and, having 'ri. d it in t'le past and having found nothing l.nr ruin and disgrace, I cannot he'p but fight it now." DEATH OF MR. RLITZ2LL.
