No man has been more signally honored, nor has anyone striven more earnestly to show his appreciation by constant and faithful service in the interest of his constituents. After a heated contest I was first nominated in 1902. Since that time I have been the nominee of my party without opposition. This tribute paid me by the people speaks for itself. During the first Congress in which I served I took up the tight against a mail subsidy paid tha Southern Railroad, and the first speech I made was in support of an amendment discontinuing its payment. 'The subsidy was withdrawn. From that date until now I have foujjht every lorm of subsidy or special privilege. I have actively worked tor and helped to pass the Pure Food and Drug Act; laws strength ening the Inter Suite Commerce Commission in the better regula tion of railroad rate?, the Safety Appliance and Boiler Inspection laws for the protection of the lives of railway employee? and pass engers. I have opposed legislation bestowing special privilege up on any man, or class of mer, in whatever form presented. In 1912 I vigorously opposed the exemption from tolls of American Coastwise vessels passing through the Panama Canal. Now Pres ident Wilson and Mr. Bryan take the same view and are against this subsidy to tha Shipping Trust. I have actively supported leg islation lowering the tariff in my judgment, the most effective Anti-trust legislation possible. My voice, work and vote helped to enact the new Currency Law that, in the judgment cf all well-informed people, will effectually stop the concentration of reserves in New York, theieby breaking the power of what is commonly called the Money Trust. I aiiJed in the passage of the Webb Inter-State Liquor Law, thr most effective piece of National prohibition legislation ever written upon the Statute B( oks. My prohibition record began in 1S81 when I voted for State-wide prohibition in North Carolina, and from that day to this I have worked for prohibition. I supported the Parcel Post Law, now effective, and of greater benefit to the mass of the people than any National legislation since the inauguration of the Rural Delivery System. I have be.ieved, and still believe, that the next most important need is a better system cf public roads. I have advocated greater activity on the part of the State and local cemmitties, and have contributed to their construction. I believe i i National aid for this purpose and have given my support to the passage through the House of the Shacklel'ord bill that appropri ates twenty-five million dollars for this purpose. But my efforts have been directed along other lines. When I first came to Cong ress there were ten 10 rural free delivery routes in the district. . By constant attention I have aided in the extension of the system until now there are about two hundred 200j routes in the district. Much of my time has been given to curtailing useless and extiava gant expenditures of public money. I have secured every legiti mate appropriation for the District. Every town in it having pos tal receipts to meet the requirements has been given a public build ing, Lexington. Monroe tnow in course of construction, and one at Thomasville authorized. I am a member of the Committe on Appropriations, standing fourth on this great Committee, elected to it by my Democratic Colleagues of the House. As to my standing here, I served by election as Secretary of the Congressional Campaign Committee and spent much time in the headquarters here after Congress ad journed in 1912 and helped to elect the present Democratic House. I could have today been Chairman of that Committee but declined because I preferred to give my time to legislative matters and to the service of the interests of the Seventh District. i For the first time I have opposition for the nomination, Mr. R. F. Beasley having announced his candidacy by assailing me and challenging my record. For the first time I have been confronted with the appointment of Postmasters at second and third class postoffices. I discharged this, in many respects unpleasant duty, as best I could for the good of the service and the party, being governed by the wishes of the Democratic patrons as far as possible. That I did not reccommend Mr. Beasley's brother at Monroe seems to have changed the color of his glasses as he looks at me, His c'-iarge that the party has weakened in the District under my candidacy is not borne out by the facts. My majority has in creased with every election, and in 1912, with Wilkes County added to the District with more than 1000 Republican majority, my ma jority in the District was 2000 greater than at any previous elec tion. The returns will a so show that in many counties I have led the ticket and in every election my vote has been greater than the vote for either the National or State ticket. As to my ability to carry the banner of my party, I am willing for those who heard the joint debate between Mr. Parker, the Republican candidate, and myself in 1910 to be the judges, and if there is a stronger de bater than Mr, Parker in the Republican r".rty in the Seventh Dis trict I do not know him. Mr. Beasley complains because of the date of the primary, and charges that the committee at MY instance fixed this date. He knows perfectly well that the STATE DEMOCRATIC EXECU TIVE COMMITTEE, the supreme party authority, at a meeting held on March 10th last, fixed the date for holding the primary in ALL the counties of the State, for the nomination of all State, Ju dicial, CONGRESSIONAL and State Senatorial candidates. The District Committee could not have changed this date had it desired. On December 1st, 1912, I came to Washington to the meeting of the last bession of the Sixty-Second Congress and with the ex ception of about a week I have not been able to visit the District since without neglecting my duties here. This I have not done. Mr, Beasley, so far as I am informed, has been there all the while. By inuendo he tries to make the impression that I have been repeatedly renominated by the use of money. He did- not dare make this charge. I have never spent any money to secure a nom ination or my own election. I have contributed liberally to my party's campaign expenses in the State and particularly in the close counties in the District for the election of other Democrats. If Mr. Beasley, as editor, had used the columns of his paper more freely for his party and less freely in fighting Democrats I am quite sure that we would be stronger as a party in those sections where his paper circulates. Mr. Beasley, theoretically, is in great sympathy with the work ing man and the fanner. I have demonstrated my sympathy by v!g: actively served in the raiks of manuel labor.

ISP : show his sympathy for the farmer and the land owner by exempt ing from taxation RAILROADS, CORPORATIONS, BANKS, MONEY, CREDITS, BUILDINGS, and collecting ALL the tax from the LAND. Hear him in a speech before the Legislative Tax Commission at Greensboro, and printed in his paper, the State Journal, of Jane 20th, .1913: "Tax on buildings should be as light as possible, because we need buildings. The more we tax buildings, the fewer buildings we shall have. But no matter how much we tax land, we shall have no less land. Tax a railroad, and vou give it the potential necessity for raising rates upon the public; tax a private business, and it is of compulsion passed on to the consumer; tax labor, and you make it less efficient by reducing in recreative ca pacity; tax money, and money hides; tax buildings, and buildings cease to go up. "But, tax unearned increment, and it goes on just the same, except that it goes out of the pocket of the few who do not earn it into the treasury of the public which make3 it. "The taxation of everything else but land adds to the cost of production. The taxation of land values does not add to the cost of production or of doing business in any way, for the public is al ready and always paying the private owner all that it can. possibly pay for the use of the land. The tax would simply come out of the pocket of the owner. - The very first step is to put the land, estimated apart from its .'improvements, upon the tax books at its sale value." My views upou taxation, National and State, are expressed in the old Democratic slogan "Equal rights to all and epecial privi lege to none". When taxes are assessed and collected this burden of government should bear equally upon every class of property, both real and personal, and the farmers and the land owners should not bear the unequal share that Mr. Beasley would put upon them. The Jury, the Democratic voters of the Seventh District, will take the case and I shall be content with their verdict. (Signed) Robert N. Page. International Harvester Oil and Gas Engines mm TfceIH!

They have passed that point and now in quire, "Which engine shall I buy?" A little careful observation will show that Inter national Harvester engines are the most satisfactory.

It is the trusted and confidential agent in all forms of busines and relations of life, w here an individual cannot and does not wish to act for him self. Everyone is beginning- to realize the reasons for the increase in the selection of a trust company as executor and administrator under wills. It acts as fiscal agent, including real and personal property, collecting incomes, investing moneys as assignee Or receiver, acts as guardian for minors, and in any ca pacity of trust. It is always at home attending to business, its business is so handled it cannot get mixed with per-' sonal affairs. The trust company cannot be extrava gant nor can it be influenced in the handling of trust ; funds, it cannot die, default or refuse to act. It has the know ledge and ability to conduct all matters in the ni st profitable manner consistent with safety.
