In the prosecution’s attempt to show

‘To Your Tents, O Israel!’
There are but seventeen more days
until North Carolina must speak to the
world her decision on the most mom
entous question that has been presen
ted to the people of the South in fifty
years. It is not merely whether Hon,
Oscar W. Underwood shall be Presi
dent of the United States—in fact, as
far as we are concerned, that is the
smallest part of it; the great question
is whether we are going deliberately
to close the door of hope in the faces
of our young men, to deliver our chil
dren and our children's children into
a political bondacre.
The widest advocates of other can
didates do not hesitate to admit that
if Oscar W. Underwood hailed from
any other section than the South no
power on earth could prevent his nom
ination. The tariff is not merely the
principal issue, it is the only issue up*
on which the party can go before the
country with any hope of success. It
is the thing that has d sgusted the
country with the republican party; it
IS the thing that has given us the first
democratic house of representatives
in sixteen years; we were put in pow
er for the specific purpose of rectify
ing tariff abuses, and if we are faith
less to our tiust what other reward
can we expect than the just resent
ment of the people? Every leader of
the democracy in the county has
known this for a long time; eve^y
private in the rear ranks should know
it iiow; every candidate in the race
admits that its stand on the tariff will
spell the success of the failure of the
democratic patty this fall. In his cap
acity as floor leader of the house of
representatives Oscar W. Underwood
has shaped the policy of the party on
the tariff so far. Every schedule that
has gone out from that house to be
killed by a republican senate, and by
its death to doubly damn the republi
can party before the people, has borne
his name; every proposed piece of
legislation has undergone his scrutiny;
every democrat who has had ideas on
the tariff program has consulted with
him, and knowing him to be the great
est tariff expert in the world, has
graceeully, and wisely, submitted to
his advice. He has guided the demo
cratic house through the most tick
lish period of its history, and can you
point out a mistake? Can you see
where he has made a false step? Scru-
tiniz the,tariff making history of the
house all you will can you show one
single schedule that could have been
done better? If such a record had been
made by a man from Massachtsetts,
or Indiana or Oregon there would be
absolutely no question as to whom the
Democrats would nominate this year.
But because the most masrnificent leader
we have had in a generation comes
from below Mason and Dixon, the
South, to her shame be it said, was the
first to raise the cry of ‘Rebel. ’ If he
is loyal enough to shape tha party’s
policy; if he is loyal enough to make
the country’s laws, why in the High
Heaven is he not loyal enough to exe
cute them? If the North is willing to
let him make laws for them; if the
North is willing to let an ex-Confed-
erate soldier, in the person of Chief
Justice White interpet those laws, is *
it reasonable, is it just, to say that the
Ndrth is so erratic that it is unwilling
to let a Southern man execute the laws?
But as far as we are concerned his
election does not matter so much; the
great question that is before the South
today IS whether she is going boldly
and operily to assert herself as a part
of the Union, or whether, by cringing
and skulking in the background, she
will accuse herself of come unnamed
treason We have the opportunity of
naming a man so far above the rest in
point of leadership that ho comparison
can be drawn. We have a man who is
the embodiment of Democratic doctrine
in its purest and best form; we have
the best chance of electing him that
has been presented to a southern man
since the war. If we do not demand
recognition now when, oh when, are
we going to? Such opportunities are
not presented twice in a life-time; if
we throw this one away the chances
are that it will be fifty years before
we see its like again.
But designing politicians, and people
with axes to grind, have seen this
willingness of the South to sacrifice
herself for the good of the party, and
have played upon it for all it is worth,
in the interests of other candidates
they have industriously stirred up the
feeling of distrust of our brethern of
the North, not scrupling to bring their
own country into the contempt of the
rest of the nation if thereby they might
advance their own cause. Therefore it
behooves those who really loye the
Southland, and earnestly desire to see
her assume once more the high place
in the councils of the nations to which
she is by righ entitled, to rouse them
selves to action. Rest assured tnat
the enemy has spared no labor in his
effort to spread discored in our ranks;
the South will need every friend she
has in the battle of 'ballots that is to
be fought on the 18th.
“Stand to your arms, then, and
march in good order” for the day of
conflict is almost upon us. In every
township primary in North Carolina let
the call be sounded for men to battle
for the South once more; we broke
out of the Union for four years once,
by tie power of the bullet; on the 18th
let North Carolina break in again by
thh power of the ballot. On that day
let the heathen wander as they will,
but let every man who truly loves his
native land heed the clarion, “To your
tents, O Israel!”—The Dispatch, (Lex
ington, N. C.) May 1st.
