OUR PLATFORM:

OUR WATCHWORD:
A Square Deal to Every Man.
The registration books are now
open„ See to it that your name
k written there.
New Registration.
The authorities say the regis-
jration book for Newlin’s town
ship'lisas been lost. So the board
election have been forced to
jyder ?-n entirely new registration
This means that it makes no
difference how many times you
liave registered before this and
lor other elections, you must re-
^ster again. The-grandfather
registration certificate will not
entitle you to a vote, on Nov. 5
unless your name is written on
Ihe new registration book.
Don’t wait until the last hour
to register,, for you might not
find the registrar. The registra
tion books close Friday Oct. 25
Insttead of Saturday as always
heretofore. So be sure to attend
to this duty of citizenihip before
its too late.
A Forecast,
l4ast week one of our manu
facturers, with some degree of
kiasting predicted the election
Df Wilson and the severest in
dustrial panic America has ever
experienced. Indeed a calamity
if it should come to pass. , We
asked for knowledge, who he was
for. He replied Wilson, because
the great unrest of the people
ean’t be satisfied except by giv
ing them what they think they
want, so I am going to help the
masses to thei.* desires, altho it
brings distress, even greater than
inthe year '93, ’94 and '95. Will
It seriously affect mill labor, to
reduce the tariff on cotton fabrics,
we asked. Yes, it wili close
American mills, open and build
aew mills in foreign countries,
and leave American wage earners
without employment just as the
Wilson tariff bill did under
Cleveland’s administration
Yes, but Wilson is for a tariff
ior revenue only we suggested.
Yes, and the first thing a Demo
cratic Congress does is to make
radical changes on all duties.
Will it hurt your business, we
inquired. Yes, but not so bad as
it wili an even smaller manufac
turer. Panics he said make the
millionaires, multi-millionaires
and reduces the average citizen
to a pauper.
Its a question for the jury.
Take all the evidence that you
can obtain, remove bias

The renomination of President
Taft was made over and above
an overwhelming majority of the
Republican voters of the several
states of the Union. Th^ people
are against him simply because
he is not a man of progressive
thoughts and is opposed to the
control of thegovernmenv by the
majority rule of the people. Rir.
Taft has not tuned his political
life with the golden lyre of time,
hetice he is not able to play for
nor participate in the great, rapid
onward march of human progress
He has never placed his life work
or energies in the movement for
human liberty and individual
freedom, nor lias he turned aside
to bless suffering and distressed
mankind. Yes, it was the pre
sent President, William Howard
Taft who has slung insult after
insult into the face of every
honest Republican in North Car
olina, Hence we are not sur
prised at the birth of a new par
ty there, as well as everywhere
else.
In very many ways Mr. Taft
has proved these things. Time
after time he has put himself at
issue with the country and always
because he was out of sympathy
and touch and harmony with the
people and their will. His mis
takes have been made in defiance
of public sentiment. His ad
ministrative errors have been
fundamental because they have
been wrought in blind disregard
of the will of the people whose
servant he is.
The unhappy coalition withf the
forces of Aldrichism and Can-
nonism, which marked the
early days of his adminstration
was a basic fault. The approval
and tyrannical defense of the
Payne-Alrich iniquity was a flat
violation of public pledges. Tht
Ballinger support and the Pinchot
discharge were open defiance to
the masses of the people.
But we are delighted to tell
you that we are not alone nor
without a leader in the crisis—
there stands ready, as always in
times of stress in the American
regublic, a man to lead in the
battle for better things. The
logic of the situation is so clear'
the proffered leadership is so
notable, the patriotic duty of the
rank and file so plain, that the
pathway ahesid seems marked by
destiny.
The gravity of the condition
confronting the political, indust
rial, social and moral life of our
country cannot be over stated.
The campaign of 1912 marks a
crisis in national life—a crisis
which, if not met with wisdom
and strength must lead to dis
aster as surely as ni^;ht follows
day It is a happy thing that
out of the turmoil and danger of
swiftly changing conditions the
splendid figure of Theodore
Roosevelt stands as a promise of
wise and virile leadership.
It is a brave thing that Roose
velt has done in striding back in
to the battle line. He has tastec
more of world-wide adulation,
has gathered more of world-wide
honors than any other man in al
the record of human activities.
Another election to the presi
dency can add nothing to the
pages he is to have in history.
From the selfish viewpoint he
has all to lose and nothing to
gain by this battle for the people
And the principles of right as set
forth by the Progressive Party
But Theodore Roosevelt has
never shirked a duty or a task
and he stands today ready to risk
the highest place in the minds
and hearts of men ever yet won
ready to go to defeat if need be,
that he may serve the people who
have trusted him.
Of his outstanding magnificent
fitness for the task which awaits
him, all the world knows. His
achievements are written large
in the hearts and lives of his
fellowmen. Within the last de
cade of American liberty and his
jRoUcies and preachments have
for the world a new bill
uinaan rights.
y reoiHrd of a^aal sccomp^
lishments is greater than that of
any other President since Lincoln
He extended the forest reserves,
inaugurated the movement for
conservation of , national re
sources, a^tablished the Depart-
quired the canal zone and began
the Panama Canal construction,
gave Cuba back to the Cubans,
stopped the theft of waterways
and water power sites, reorgan
ized the consular service, settled
tjhie coal strike of 1902, maintain
ed the open door in Chinas
brought about the settlement of
the Russo-Japanese war, nego
tiated twenty-fouir treaties of
general arbitration, neduced the
interest-bearing debt ]&y $90,.000.-
000, doubled the navy^’s .tonnage
an^ sent the battlesM^ ieet
ardund the world.
He brought about the Hepburn
rate act, the employer’s liability
act, the safety appliance act, the
regulation of railroad labor hours
the pure food and drugs act, the
federal meat and packing house
inspechoi^ iaw. He directed the
investigHcion of Sugar Trust
frauds, the prosecution of rail
roads, the Tobacco Trust, "Stand
ard Oil and other corporations
under thfe Sherman anti-trust act.
He won the government's case
in the Northern Securities prose
cution anjl secured thq conviction
of a swarm of postoffice grafters
and public land thieves,
He advocated and urged on
Congress complete reform of the
financial system, inheritance and
income taxes, the parcels post, a
revision of thfe Sherman anti
trust act, legislation to prevent
over-eapiialization and stock-
watering and federal incorpora
tion for interstate commerce
corporations.
He has made his life an in
spiration to all men of all nations.
He has preached a world-wide
gospel of national and individual
good citizenship that has left an
irerasable mark on his century.
He has set an example of clean
living, vigorous labor and high
ideals that will go down through
generations to come.
Is there any chance of any
choice but one now that the
people are face to face with >a
decision? Is there any worthy
ground for doubt as to what the
decision must be?
There is not. Many honest
and earnest men, fettered with
the chains of partizan prejudice,
will hold to the course of party
precedent. Some dishonest and
cowardly men, drawn by the lure
of federal patronage or shrinking
from the lash of the party ma
chine, will do the biddingof their
masters. Some mistaken men,
hatkeningto the silly third term
mumery or frightened by the
shout ojf radicalism, will turn to
the admiiistration forces. But
the great mass of Republicans,
the splendid-rank and file of sob
er minded, patriotic men will
folloWfttiio leadership of Theo-
dnre Roosevelt, first citizen, mil
itant progressive, greatest Amer
ican—and next President of the
United States.
And perdition can’t stop them.

are kept work day ^s#>d ni^nt.
It", is genet'fil knowUjv'J'ge th$t
thousands of Dfmocrats, i are
deserting the Wilson ticket'and
the percentage going to Mr. Taft
is almost rteglible.
All these things were canvassed
thoroughly in the conference on
Sagamore Hill. Colonel Roose
velt expressed delighted with the
reports and in his enthusiastic
way he said all that is necessary
is to keep fighting and victory is
sure.
A HOT CAMPAIGN.
They also discussed in the con
ference the cities in which Col.
Roosevelt^ Governor Johnson and
Oscar S. Straus ought to de^^ote
a good deal of the^ time f»r the
success of the National FroigreS'
sire party. It fs protjaMe there
will be a new itierary laid out for
all the candidates along Ifces
decided upoai in the long confer
ence.
Governor Johnson will make
another tour throagh sections
which have been covered by Col.
Roosevelt. He lis a forceful spe
aker and has much of the anima
tion and magnetism of the Colo,
nel and like the rr"Ridential
candidate is eager to take to the
road as soon as possible.
Colonel Rooseveltis eliatedthat
the young men al! over the coun
try areenroiJed in the cause and
that their numbers are increasing
every fKy. The widespread in
terest tlie women in the cause
too is « source of much confid
ence on the Colonel’s part. There
will be a whi^lwipfl onslaugh on
both the old parti' " from now
until Election ;ray,. *ancT Colonel
Roosevelt himself iwiil,. h&- said,

prise Drug' Store Thursday night
and attempted to set it on fire by
covering the floor with kerosene
oil and then striking a match to
some shavings. The flames went
out before the floor was
caught, othejwise the entire store
would have been demolished- by
the flames. About five gallons
of oil was used and the can left
in the store.

COUNTY SCHOOLS.
Continued from last week.
The one thing above all others
that needs the serious considera
tion of pupils, patrons, com
mitteeman and teachers is the
question of attendance. All our
efforts however strong and com
plete, fail and fail utterly with
out attendance. A people can’t
be trained that are not in train
ing. And when attendance is
only 49 per cent of the pupils and
68 per cent of the enrollment a
large per cent of the pupils are
not in training. Let each and
every one see to it that attend
ance is increased and that right
early this year.
