Write at onrp Thursday. October 17 1912 WILL DO THE RIGHT. The people of North Carolina are a conservative people, almost obstinate in their clinging sta bility. This trait of character could never be better illustrated than in their reluctance to leave the Union in 1861 They did not want to seceed, and held on with pertenacity untill after Sump ter fell. But when the war was once on and they saw nothing ahead but a fight they went to the front and did the fighting, and it is said no soldiers fought more heroic, or with graater braver^'^ than those from North Carolina. And this is so with everything, her people want to know what is right, and onee they learn it, they go in that path and heed not the conse quences. It is a pecular charac teristic of these conservative North Carolina. Six months ago the man who slandered his wav in to the Governors chair of this State, began his asual siege of persecu tion and slander against the man who be regarded as stood in his way to a seat in the senate, at that time his oponent was busy with his duties in Washington and could not stop to answer him, and in the blind egotistism of this man who you will better know as Governor Kitchin, thought that his artful and malicious attacks were unanswer able. He went ov^er the State through his own efforts, and by ihe aid of his kinsmen his fiiends and hirelinp-s he swept the State. The best was done that could be done to inoculate every mind with a suspicion of abasement, political tirputude, and infidelity to trust in the Senior Senator of North Carolina. Things, and facts, were colored to suit the exigences of tne occasion. Sin- dicated articles sent out of this State evidently by Butler and Co., and repeated here with a gusto, and the political reputa tion that Senator Simmons had labored hard for thirty years to build was being recklessly torn down and trampled beneath the feei of a designing reckless and unscrupelous politicians. The people did not know, and the attack was made so artfully and with such pleasing and plauseable method that it won its way to many unrespecting minds. When Congress ended its sitting. Senator Simmons return ed to his native State, and then sought to correct the false and vicious impression that had been created about him. Since re turning Senator Simmons has never undertaken to defend his record only to explain something where he had been falsely and wrongfully represented. Thousands of people are beginning to realize what a damnable effort at Mr. Simmons destruction was ^nade, and the love of right and iustice is leading them to condemn in unmeasured terms the unfair fight made against Mr. Simmons the unscrupelous methods adop ted to encompas his ruin. It is the great conservative force that rules the character and conscience of the people of the old North State that has been quickened to the grave injustice done one of her citizens, and now they propose to see justice done though the heavens fall, and they will right the wrong sought to inflict upon and honest faithful and patrotic citizen, and the votes in November will thunder their denunciation at the po'ls as they answered duties call from Bethel to Appomatox. TO THE JUNIOR ORDER. The Junior order has exhibit ed perhaps greater interest in educational matters than any other secret order known. The Juniors believe in home folks and they believe in educating them. Senator Simmons bill in cong/ess, a bill to regulate alien emigration was ai^ed especially to prevent the landing* on our shores foreign illiterates. This bill has won for Mr. Simmons the highest praise from the Junior order. We state below a few endorsements, a large list of which may i)e found in the con gressional Record 62 congress followinc: the speach of Hon. F. M. Simmons in the Senate Mar- 18th 1912. The State Council of Maine Junior order, heartily endorses Senator Simmons bill to regulate foreign emigration, H. H. Skole- field state councilor. The State Council of Connecticut endors the emendment offered by Sena tor Simmons, and urges the pas sage of the same Cyrus E. Ry der State Councilor. These are only a few of the many endorse ments given Senator Simmons in his efforts to strengthen the hands of home people. The | Juniors should acquaint them selves with the merits of this bill, we have it in our office. If Wilson is elected the farmers might just as well bepin to get ready next year for 5 cent cotton and those who are working in factories might just as well get ready to eat potlick- ker and bread.—Union Republican. My-my would not this be aw ful if it were true. The Union Republican must bank on hav ing a lot of illiterates as readers if it expects for such stuff as this to be swallowed. There was a day and every one deplores it, when the standard of education was so low in North Carolina that such stuff would have been swallowed, possibly with a re lish, but’enlightened North Car olinians would consider in an in sult to their enteligence now. we do not know, have never heard of the publication before, and can not presume it is other than one of those mushroom publications that have sprung up since Mr. Kitchins candidacy, and paid for by who? But who ever is responsable for it has stamped himself by the charac ter of the article as a common low bred mean, man, who seems to have no conception of the dignity and decency of politics. It matters not w.ho wrote it, or who inspired it, whether it was Marion Butler, or Bill Kitchin, it does not alter the low down vile contemptable thrust. It is simply the invention of a brain of a mean man worthy of the contempt and execration of every honorable voter in North Carolina The sample of the style of attack made by Mr. Kitchin henchman on Mr. Simmons. WHO IS GUILTY? (Editorial, The Carolina Union Farmer Oct. 3, 1912.) “The biggest rascal that ever betrayed the people and served the special interests in Congress can comt; befort't the people with a bold and plausible defense of his “record.” With all the brass and bluster and bravery that it is possible to bring into play, certain machiue partisan demago gues are now engaged in standing before audiences telling how they have served the “dear people,” when they belong body and soul to “the interests” aiid now have the solid support of the corporations and “special interests” of the State. The strange pari of it—the deplorable part of the whole business, is that there is such a large element of dense ignorance among the voters and so many local “machine” politicians who care nothing for principle and who are out for the “spoils” only. Perhaps the most corrupt thing in North Carolina is modern “machine” politics —which is simply a scramble for political office.” Will give $5.00 prize for best descrip* tion of the Candidate whom above cap tits.
