If He Rules, He Will Ruin.” (Editorial in Lexington Dispatch “Dem ocratic” June 10th 190.8. “The Dispatch has opposed Mr. Kitchin, believing, and still believing, that his nomi nation means disruption in fhe Democratic party and in jury to the Commonwealth. In the midst of a campaign reeking with slander, false hood, hyprocrisy and blood curdling charges that great monsters are about to eat him alive, with a dozen years of absolute emptiness behind him in Congress, this rip- snorting demagogue turns up on a newspaper that punc tured his gas bag with facts, and like the ASS HE IS, brays: ‘You are a liar.’ In the absence of other counter-ar- guments, he will appeal to the prejudices, to the passions, to Prohibitionist and to the anti-Prohibitionist with equal ease; will array class against class, labor against capital, man against man,, Democrat against Democrat, until North Carolina will sink in the es teem of other states to a level she has never sounded before under Democratic rule. With him it is rule or ruin. If he rules, he will ruin.” The Lexington Dispatch is good authority. The News & Observer of Kaleigh says: “The radicals don’t mind tell ing such a little thing as a lie aud then sticking to it. They have the example of their great leader of the Ananias Club.’' Well I3rother Daniels we feel proud that we will some day be able to wear your trophy. Because you are reported to be the chief of liars that never lie the same way.

For decade this District has l)cen rep-, resented, or rather misrepresented, by a gentleman who accoidihg to high i authority in his own party, has behind him “a dozen years of absolute emptiness. In other words, our Representative during these years has held and stubbarnly maintained views which were not iti sympathy with the essential economic elements of modern prosperity—which have re • tarded rather than promoted the development of our material resources— and which were so wholly at variance with the policies of the dominant party, and the best thought of his own jiarty as to render him practically helpless and incapable of rendering the service in Congress demiwded by tha growing and expanding interests of this District. Another fact was recognized in the selection of our Btandarl bearer. The Democrats have nominated as their candidate a gentlaman whose proud boast is that he out-Herods Herod in bis loyalty to the radical views so recklesslj’^ maintained by his predecessor in the support of all that Bryanism has ^tood for iu the past aud promises for the future and and in defense of all the hurtful and unneccessary local legislation enact ed in this State. In view of these conditions and in further view of the justice and fairness and wisdom of giving our farming, manufacturing and business interests a voice in matters which so largely aud so vitally concern the whole people, the Republicans, in their search for a candidate fit aud suitable have relegated to the rear the “professional politician” and have gone into the circle of those who are leading in the work of developing, building, supporting £tod maintaing the State. Mr. Morehead is not a politician. His time is devoted to toe management of his farm, his mill aud other large business interests. He is so closely identiiied with these lines of business that be cannot help hiaii=elf without helping the man who toils in the mill or on th^ farm, and his own interest are so inter woven with the interest ol his neighbors and the business weal of the State, that he is conservative from both cho’ce and necessity. Uulike the “professiooalipolitician” whose stock in trade is his daily dream of office, Mr. Morehea»3 caunot be tem}>ted to favor legislation cal culated to destroy or injure these large interests to gr;atify political am bition. Unlike the politician who has nothing save his ambition in volved, Mr. Morehead has his own business and interest at stake. What affects or injWies his own interest, affects or injures the interest of his ueighbor. he sufters, his ueigbbor suffers. Not so with the politi cian, If the'politician is hurt it in no wise affects the man who labors, produces and builds for himself and his community. - The “professional politician” is a fifth wheel—a sort of superfluous commodity, or rather a kind of uni’ipened boil on the body politic of every com muuity. North Carolina, within the last two years has furnished an impressive object les.son in the v>'ork of the pojliticiau. The legislation of 1007—reckless, unjust and hurtful, still lives in the hitter memory t>f every mun’ifacturer, merchant, farmer and laboring man in this State. Its disastrous results are yet felt in every line of business. The rare spectacle of the extra ordinary session of the Genei^l Assennbly, involving heavy cost and ex pense to the tax payers, (?alUlrl to undo aud corre(jt that which should never have been done, is yetjfresh in the minds of the people. With tliis ^triking object lesson before liim, the voter surely needs not to be t;'ld that this is a time when the I’oice of tiie politician carries no music to the I (jar of the man v. ho has seen and felt in his own business—in his own ' I bank account—in the cuttini of his ovvjs time—in the reduction of his own wages and tlie comtort.Jof his own home the evil cotisequenocs ot the last Legislature, ; Mr. Morehead has nevfer soaglit office.

He expended neither time nor ii ouey to .secure it. Nor did he hav'c the pres tige of an ofnce to give hi in |]'»rominence before tlie people. It was only alter the mosi e.irnest argnriiont and entreaty on the part of friends who knew the str>ng points of hijs splendidid character and capacity that he wa=i juduced to accej)t the honor so unanimously tendered. He is a type of the class ot men who have done more for their State since 1896 than all of the "professional politicians’' have done since 1776. If elected, the voter can be assured that he will not surrender the trust confided to his charge before his term exjnres iu order to accept a more Iticrative political posiUon,. His ojiponeiit entered politics when ^‘a beardless boy’' according to his own declaration aud v/ith unflagging zeal he has kept his ear so close ly to the ground that no other Democrat iu this District, however worthy and capable, has been able to break through or even scratch under his tences. Judges have fallen under his ‘‘steam roller”. Emient lawyers of his party v/ho dared to asiiire and demand a division of honors have been mercilessly s^v■ept from the deck. He is not only a ‘^professional j>oli.tician” but he is a politician of the modern t)-pe with every equip- ‘meiit needed for practical i'csults. The Republican party of iliis district invites the voter—-irrespec tive of pa^jt or present party aifiliaiions—to consider the records of the two men and to study car( lully what each has done—wdiat each stands for—what each repr^;sents in this contest and what each can do, if elect ed, iu the solution of questions before Congress affecting and touching directly and indirectly the interest of every voter and tax payer, wheth er on the farm or in the shop or in the mill or iu the office. It is to be remembered that the tariff is to be revised aud that such revision de mands the practical sense of the business man rather than the “hot air” that buboles from the sttirap and the platform. Legislation affecting our fjuancial system is deiuauded Wiiich jvill require the calm judgement ot the man who studies finance and slaves problems rather than the man who is skilled in the performance of stunts on the hustings. We are en titled to have our share of appropriations for public buildings and other purposes iu order to keep abreast with other sections of the country. In short, the people want refiults and not a Congressional Record stuffed with campaign speeches. If, then, Mr. Voter, you prefer practical sense, Suitis. All we ask you to do is to come and iook at our goods and prices before buying, ... J. D. & L B. WHnTED, Main Street, : : : : : Burlington, N. C. take Mr, Morehead. If you prefer “hot air” take Mr. Brook.s. If you want results, vote for Mr. Morehead. If you want flower and garden seed and census re[>orts, vote for Mr. Brooks. Mr. Morehead subscribes to the idea that a practical, do-sonieihiHg policy pays in Congress as well as in private business. Empty honors bestowed by newspapers are no part of his equipment. His eyes arc not on the gallery. In the daily walks of private life—-modest by mature and accustomed by preference to “the noiseless tenor” of the path llwt leads only through the evenues of a beautiful home life and a stainle»s, successful business life Mr. Morehead has studiously avoided aud eschewed ■■ r • f any and all positions which would give him notoj’iety. The greetings afJection and the tender responses of approval from his own lireside s-ra far more precioiis to him than the uncertain applause of a political party The music of the loom and spindle is sweeter to him than that of brass baud.
