Let us have an end to all political in tolerance and let us encourage every man to studv for himself the principles of the different political parties and then, regard less of the efforts of the disgrunt- ed bosses of the old parties, go to the polls and vote according to our, honest convictions as to the imperative demands of just- 4pe and humanity. i The State Dispatch. With the present issue of the paper, we pull down from our masthead the disowned and dis credited names of Taft and Sher man and substitue in their places the names of Roosevelt and John son.. The policy of this paper in the futui*e will be in accord ^with the principles of the Pro gressive Party, and we invite all who believe with us to unite with us in a grand crusade for the elevation to office of Roosevelt and Johnson, •the real represen tatives of the people to the end I that the people may again rule The £&il of PoKtical latolcnuice.

ALAMANCE. We count among our numerous subscribers in Alamance County, men and women of various shades of political opinion to whom we want to addres these remark?. A political revolution is now sweeping, with irresistable force, over this county. This revolution is a peaceful one, but it is all the more effective for : this reason. Privilege and the special interests have been so long enthroned in this county, and have been so prof icient in the manipulation of political parties that it was felt by many good people that the grasp of these influences upon the electorate of this nation could never be shaken. We all realize What's the matter with Bull Moose ? He is all right. the the country beqeathed to us by that something must be done and our forefathers and ^ve to every; now that we have it in our power The Pregressive Convention:-" Its bully by*George." Get ready to hear Teddy North Carolina this fall. m The man who giues at excuse rather than^ reason has r weak case. Some og the politicians are needlessly exerting, themselves to work teemselves out of a job. Beginning on March 4th, 1913, the people of the United States will enter upon a new era of pros perity and under the leadership of Roosevelt and Johnson, this country will regain its former prestige as the great world pow er of the Western Hemisphere. Our President will be a man whose name is a household word iin every country on the Globe. We will again become the guid ing star for all nations—the land of opportunity foral) mankind— man his dues - an equal chance, with every other man, to share in the progress of this nation. No right thinking man can object to this and the Progressive Party emphatically demands it. To the best of our ability we shall fight for this result and we believe that victory will perch upon our banner on the first Tuesday in November beyond all question. The State Dispatch invites the cooperation of e very nian, regard less of past political a^filia^tion to join- this crussade. No matter whether you have been a Democrat, Republican or Popu list a hearty welcome awaits you in, the ranks of the Progressive Party. Come to our meetings, | ization attend our conventions, and take your full paft in our deliberatera- tions. We are here to stay and don't for one moment forget that. We, go into this campaign, as a political p^rty, with a clean re cord. While our principles are as old Christianly itself, our party name is near, and aS a party, we have no history of oppression of tyranny, of bossism to apologize to restore to the people, those rights for which our ancestors shed their blood upon the banks the Alamance, shall we allow it to be said that we, their des cendants, failed in oar duty at this; critical period in our history This paper does not believe that these splendid people, many of whom have fathers and grand fathers silently sleeping their last long sleep upon the blood stained fields of Vir^na, Mary land and Pennsylvania, patriots, who gave their lives for a cause they believee to be just, will ever be false or indifferent to the memory of their heroic sires. The time is ripe for the organ- in Alamance County of the grandest political party that this county has ever known. The State Dispatch has enlisted in this cause and intends with all its ability and enery to fight for the succeiss of the principles of the Progressive Party, as recent ly enunciated at Chicago, until complete Success crowns our banner with the laurel wreath of victory. Let us all do our part Apart of the people of Alama nce County ^re asked to vote $100,000.00 of 50-year five cent bonds and exchange those' bonds for perferred stock in the Green£r boro, Northern and Atlantic Rail* way Company. The amount of bonds ask^d from each township through which the railroad will pass are as follows: Burlington Township $35,000.00, Albright Township $5,000.00, Morton Township $10i000.00, Thompson Township $15,000.00, Township $10,000.00, Tow r ship $5,000.00, Boon Station TownT-hip $5,000.00, Graham Town ^ hi p $15,000.00,. These bonds iire to be sold ani the money not available to the rail^ road company, unui the railroad has been completed, rolling stocl: purchased and the railroad in actual operation. The railroad is to be completed and in operation within three years from the date of this bond issue. Otherwise, the money received for the bonds wiBl be returned to respective townships which voted the same. The Southern Rail way is now assessed $67,000.00 per mile for each mile that passes through our County. At the same propoi tioh of valuation, if the new railroad is built and operated, it would give us a surplus every year in taxes after its constructicn of- $3,500.00 profit over and above five per cent interest that we pay on our bonded indebtedness. In addition to that, if the road is a success, we would earn divid ends on the preferred stock of the company . This is based on the facts in the case, not consi dering the vast wealth it would mean to our county, by opening up rural territory, and giving better shipping facilitees at a lower freight fate. We believe that it ever the door of opportun ity opened itself to Alamance County, it is now. We should be •reminded of the fact that it is through the zealous efforts of some of our fellow citizens and a few of Greensiwfoprogressives has made this proposition pos sible. As we see it, it is impos sible for Alamance County espe cially and the/townships through which it passes to lose on this propoition. In fact, we believe that it means a very ! if aur ifriends will ask us questions by letter, dr personally and we shall answer themas beft we can though the inedium of the Dis patch. Therefore, let no one, regardless of his $ttitiide to ward previous conditions of bond iss^ues coxdem this propositions until he has throughly inveftigattd all of the details thetrewith, and then vote to.the btst interest of him self and to hib fellowh.*:u.

Faucette The history of man is, that in all time, counifies, towtis and cities have bt come so corrupt by intrigue trickery and theft that it devolves upon some grfeat lead er or leaders to push forth with the principles of eternal truth of right, inspired by the spirit di vine and la^ntihHfort upon higher planes. This is what w«b^ done at Chicago laat wetefc, 2^ delegates ’with visited bear testimony pf. the launching of the Progrebsive party* The par ty that comes fronft a pure heart, the noble soul, the inspired mind Slid the ever faithful breast, composed of loyal partiotic sons and daughters of America, led by the greatest leader bom unto Ameiica, Theodore Roosevelt, who sought not the leaderslup, but desired to have opportunity |;o isattle for the right and win ^6r mankind. This epoch marks the beginning of that erii in the political arena of Ameriw^ when th,«t masses shall fbrevei* deter mine the candidate of any polit ical party foir election to any of fice.: For the past four years, it has been the function and us urped dutv of th^ adininistration to designate unto the every day citizen in private life, whom iie should i^esire or sdect as a can- dida-t^'io succeed the present in cumbent in any office. These conditions had become so offen sive and obpxious to the honest man and woman that 'they^ rose up in their power of right with might and would no longer ap prove such high handed acts of public political robbery. This is the duty and work of the Pro gressive Party. Will you help to perform this noble wor-k? From this day forth, there will b^ a minimumi wage for every profitable! employee throughout this great product equal to thar at thus protecting A&:eiiej r facturers and labor ard continue to build for us a er America.
