NOT FIT FOR IT
Mr. Kitchin you were cut out
for a deplomat, you have char
acteristics that eminenty fit
you for one. You have a soft,
soothing:, sanctimonious, suave
manner, that would qualify
you to sit at a foreign court
and play the polished gentle
men, your manner is even use
ful in a political game among
populist, bat Mr. Kitchin you
are not a statesman, and your
aspiration to a seat in the sen
ate in no sense qualifies you to
be one. You are a politician, a
past graduate. What the think-
mg people of North Carolina
want is a Senator who can
do things for his state, things
that would help to develop her
resources and enhance her great
industrial interest. Y'ou are an
obstructionist, you want to
play a hand to a past age.
Your defeat of the one hundred
thousand dollars appropriation
for the fast mail subsidy might
have seemed a big card to play
to the populist, but in truth who
was you helping? no one, the
saving was infintesimal, the
deprivation of the fast mail ser
vice from Washington to New
Orleans hurt business interest
millions. It was all political
bombast, and no one knew it
better than you, but you played
for effect on the plea of ec
onomy. Had you been in the
senate you would have fought
the appropriation of a half mil
lion dollars for the deepening of
the Cape fear waier wa>, and
then gone to the farmers of
Bladen, Cumberland, Jrfarnett
and Chatham Counties and told
them you were saving them
money, you would have told the
faimers of the East the same
thin.? about the appropriation
for deepening the water way
through Clubfoot, and Harlow
Creek Canal, from the bar at
Morehead ti deep water in the
Neuse. Every appropriation for
goveinment buildings,or govern-
met works, would in your esti
mation have been a wast of
public money.
Your idea is to fight-fight
everything rear and tear and
oppose everything, only let the
people at home know you are a
snorter. There is not a senator
since the days of Washington
whose political character could
not have been assailed by Mr.
Kitchin. Suppose Mr. Kitchin
had been a candidate for General
Mat Kansoms seat, after he had
voted to give a pension to General
Grant of twenty thousand dollars
what would have been the
result. Mr. Kitchin like a good
many other Democrats in con
gress would have howled them
selves hoarse over the fact, and
yet for this act of magnanimity
Cienenil Uansom won the confi
dence and cooperation of a
Republican congress that gave
him much influence in Washing
ton.
Mr. Kitchin you and Colliers
Weekly a: e a discredited pair,to
fight Mr. Simmons, that’s all.
Constable.”
A party that opens its political meet
ings with prayer, and sings “Onward,
Christian Soldiers,” and claims to be
the embodiment of pure politics and
clean Americanism, ought to be honest
enough not to deceive the voter, net to
dissemble and not to resort to legal
technicalities to force the voter either
to vote for candidates he does not
desire in office or to vote against his
principles.
The progressives claim to be divorced
from the Republia^n party on the
groond of non-support. They have
renounced that party and all its works
and all its ways. They claim that the
Republican party is even worse than
the Democratic party, yet in the State
of Kansas they propose to place the
Republican emblem above their Progres
sive electors and thereby force the
Taft Republicans to do one or three
things, none of which they want to
do: To vote the Progressive ticket; to
vote against their principles and for
the Democratic ticket; or to stay awav
*from the polls and not vote at all.
That may be a mark of slick politics,
but it is not a mark of honest politics.
Mr. Kitchin and his followers
in trying to slander Mr. Sim
mons asked that no man be al-
loud to vote for senator in the
primary unless he shall vote
every other name on the Dem
ocratic ticket, Mr. Simmons ac
cepted the condition, it now ap
pears that Mr. Kitchin’s friends
do not care to be driven like
dum cattle in voting who the
bosses may designate for them
any more than does Mr. Sim
mons friends, a fact that Mr.
Kitchin must learn in a month
at least.
this gem from the Sun, this
car juncle of light. “This tells
the whole story, a few months
ago, most any republican could
have consientiously supported
him, but now he is a good demo
crat and this man can not,
and the Sun thinks that this re
publican evidence is so important
that it must repeat it, and yet
the Sun alleges that Mr. Sim
mons is too much of a republican
for it to support, and he is too
much of a democratic for his re
publican friends to support.
Note the ease with which the
I Sun puts Mr. Simmons between
the devil and the deep sea. Con
sistency thou art a brass door
knob.
The trial of Milton B. Hob-
good for the murder of his
brother in-law W. P. Wilkinson
near his home in Granville Co.,
ends in Hobgood gettiijg thirty
years term in the pennitentiary.
[This would seem to be pretty
steep punishment in view of the
fact that council could have
made a plea of insanity, but
what is the thirty years term
worth wi*:b such men as Mr.
Kitchin exercising the pardoning
power? worth just as much as
Baxter Shemwells sentence was
worth and no more. V\hat
North Carolina needs is a pard
oning board, no governor should
be able to build Ihis political
fences by the exercise of the
pardoning power.
Kidney Troubles
Can be Avoided
You cannot afford to neglect the
slightfest kidney ailment—it’s hazard
ous to do so.
The poisonous waste material mutt
be separated from the blood and if the
kidneys become weakened I his is im
possible.
That means a poisoned system.
That’s why neglect means trouble—
the ailment becomes chronic and re
sults in Rheumatism or Bright’s Dis
ease.

ment from becoming chronic They

HEARD HE HAD GONE
BACK
In sending out the Simmons cam-1
paign literature, a letter was sent to '
a leading republican of this city a>k-1
ing for his support. The republican i
returned thelf'tter with this note on it; |
“I understand that Mr. Sinrmors '
has gone back to the democratic party,
and therefore I cannot row support
him.”
This is the whole story. A few
months ago most any republican could
have conscientiously supported him.—
Durham Sun.
Now this is stuf, is it not?
From Mr. Simmons campaign
head quarters a letter is sent
out by accident'.to a Kepublican.
Of course it is an unpardonab e
sin for a Simmons man to make’
a mistake, this republican learns
that Simmons has gone back to i
the Democratic party, and he
wants to cut his acquaintance,
so he returns the let-er, Now this
is real hard, but note the sequel.
We quote the last paragraph of'
Some of the fruits of Mr.
Kitchins force bill, or his dras
tic voting primary measure, is
becoming apoarent already. In
Orange County there is a road
bond issue in which many peoy ie
say they will not vote for the
commissioner who favored the
bonds, and if Mr. Kitchin will
not let them vote the Democratic
ticket unless they vote for these
commissioners, then the/ will,
not vote any f>f the ticket. We I
learn this will involve about two |
hundred votes. i
Only give Mr. Kitchin time |
enough and what he likes of:
putting Noith ^’arolina in the!
Kppublican party wont worry!
