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.
