THE DANBURY REPORTER
A Few Thoughts for the Thinking
Voter!
EXHIBIT A.
When the Kitchins Slandered Craig
(Special to The News and Observer.)
Asheville, June 19, 1908.--The Hon. Locke Craig issued the following statement tonight:
"Have just been informed that before the primaries held in Nash and Franklin counties,
and others, on the day of the primaries, a report was circulated in these counties by the
friends of Kitchin that I not only voted for Blaine, but while Bertie county voted the entire
Republican ticket and for the negroes on the ticket. This statement is utterly false, and
was originated by some slanderer for the purpose of helping Mr. Kitchin. and injuring me.
I never in my life voted for any Republican except Blaine, and 1 never in my life cast a bal
lot in the county of Bertie, and never under any circumstances voted for a negro.
"1 also have information from a gentleman of absolute reliability that Congressman
Claude Kitchin stated in the presence of a number of gentlemen last week in Louisburg,
Franklin connty, a few days prior to the primaries in that county, that he could get an
affidavit from a reliable man in Bertie to the effect that I not only voted Blaine, but for the
entire Republican ticket, including Congressman O'Hara, 1 have been further informed
that Mr. VV. W. Kitchin has intimated in some of his speeches that I voted the Republican
ticket in Bertie county.
"If these statements be denied, I can prove my authority. I denounce each and all of
such allegations as vile falsehoods, originated by some designing person for the advantage
of Mr. Kitchin. Such methods have been freely adopted without hesitation in the desper
ate attempt to injure me with the Democrats of North Carolina. It is astounding that
Democrats would resort to such tactics. 1 defy either of the Kitchins or any of their sup
porters to produce any proof of these slanders."
EXHIBIT B.
Why Kitchin Wanted to be Governor.
Ar 1 Governor Kitchin pleaded tor the office of Governor because, as he said, the To
bacci > ust was fighting him because it knew he "would not acquiesce in their iniquities."
WVI, if Buck Duke had been Governor the Tobacco Trust would not have been troubled less
thai, it has been by our "Trust-busting" Governor.--News and Observer, July 25, 1911.
EXHIBIT C.
A CONFESSION.
Mr. Lockhart then said that he had a confession to make. "Four years ago Mr. Kitchin
came to VVadesboro and opened the campaign, and in that speech Mr. Kitchin said, 'Elect
me Governor, and I will put the trust officials behind prison bars and in stripes. Mr. Lock
hart said: "I believed him. I knew that he had failed to do anything while in Congress; but
he had told me that he did not know how, and that if he could be made Governor would be
an independent and active Governor. I trusted him and supported him, I spent money for
carriages, hired a brass band, paid for the printing of the tickets, and 1 worked for him. It
is true, he offered to repay me; but 1 wouldn't let him, and told him that I did not want the
money; but that I did want him to be a man for the people of North Carolina, and fulfill his
promises to the people.
"The first suspicion of Mr. Kitchin came to me when the convention was in Charlotte
four years ago, and then it was that Reuben D. Reid of Rockingham county came to me in
the S'-lwyn Hotel and said that he was afraid that we were making a mistake and that
Kitchin was in the hands of the American Tobacco Company. His closest friends were the
close friends of that big corporation. They were apparently backing him.
STILL BELIEVED
"Still, 1 believed in Kitchin. Then as the deadlock continued, Mr. Reid came to me
again and begged me to withdraw my influence from Mr. Kitchin; but still I believed in him
and I still thought he was all right until I, as Senator from Anson county, introduced the
bill known as the Lockhart antitrust bill. I was not its author. It was drawn by Reuben
D. Reid of Rockingham county. I was told by William Walton Kitchin the people of North
Carolina did not want any antitrust legislation, and that the people of Rockingham county
had defeated Reuben D. Reid because of his interest in that legislation.
"Mr. Kitchin said to me, 'Go slow; the people don't want anything done.' I went out
from his office disgusted and outdone, and my confidence in W. W. Kitchin was gone, and
gone forever, and I am opposed to nominating that kind of a man for the exalted office of
United States Senator."—Speech of Hon. James A. Lockhart, at Madison, N.C.,Oct. 11,1912.
