A very small percentage of those who hold office by the Governor’s appointment are lukewarm in support of him. The bulk of his beneficiaries is «t work for his election to succeed Simmons with enthuasm apd with a display of zeal that has drawn public attention to the matter. In no previous campaign that can be recalled have the be*ieficiaries-of a Governor of the State participated in its activities in so conspicuous a manner. This is pai ticularly true of the Gov ernor’s friends on the railroad boards, and it ifi in the fifth congressional district that this activity has attracted State wide attention. Among the ac tive workers in this district are C. D, Penn of Reidsville and Thomas D. Fleshman of Kenersville, both directors in the North Carolintt Railroad. Other directors are: A. E,. Smith of Mount Airy and Joseph W. Gi aham of Hills boro. A. H. Eller of Winston-Salenr, is secretary and treasurer of the com pany. with a salary of $2,000. Colonel Benehan Cameron of Statsville is I resident, with a salary of $1,000. N. B. McCanlass of Salisbury and J. D. Elliott of Hickory and C. C. Hargrove of Lexington are directors. Frank R. McNinch, the Governor’s State manager is attorney, at $500 salary and extras. John W. Thompson of Raleigh is an expert at $600. Passes are provided for all directors and their familie&. On the part of the Atlantic and North Carolina Railroad, or the Old Mullet, as it was called, L. P. Tapp of Kin ston is president at $100 a year and with passes for his natural life. The directors are A.. C. Avery of Morgan- ton, E. L. Harris of Ra!e gh, W. D. Couch of Goldsboro, George W. Sum merville of Kinston, Samuel W. Fara- bee of Stonewall, W. S. Chadwick of Beaufort, G. V Richardson of Dover, D. J. Broadhurst of Goldsboro is sec retary and treasurer, at $300 a year. Auditor Arrington of Beaufort gets $50 a year and privileges, Morrill of Snow Hill anrl Boyd of Ayden con stitute the Governor’s appointments on the finance committee. They get $5 a day when on duty and passes. Thess are a few. There is a long list of the Governor’s workers scat tered all over the State. R. F. JBeasley of Monroe, editor of The Carolina Democrat, is a member of the Board of Internal Improvements, as is also B. C. Beckwith of Raleigh. They get $4 a day on duty. Carey J. Hunter of Raleigh, member of the Board of Public Charities, is supposed to contribute the Kitchin articles to The Carolina Democrat. Among the Gov ernor’s active leaders are; Dr. J, Howell Way of Waynesville, member State Board of Health: M. R. Braswell of Rocky Mount, member Geological Board; H. C. Carter, Fairfield, mem ber Board of Agriculture; I. H. Kear ney, Franklinton, member of same board, and also William Bledsoe of Gale. The Governor’s leader in Wil mington is John D. Bellamy, special railroad counsel. Herbert McClammy, of the same city, is special railroad counsel, and W. E. Springer, leader in New Hanover, is on the State Building Commission. The miscellaneous list of active leaders and managers, each holding office by virtue of the Governor’s ap pointment, is a long one. William M. Webb of Morehead City and George W. Wallace, member of the Fish and Oyster Commission, are particularly active. So is C. H, Mebane, editor of The Catawba County News, and C. S. Vann of Edenton, a member of the Fish and Oyster Commission. E. L. Travis, a member of the Gover nor’s advisory committee, was ap pointed Railroad Commissioner by the levies over $200 a year” upon the familie«i of the fleeing emigrants, and in support of its contention cites thir teen selected States in which Statf^ tix receipts have doubled and even trebled within the last ten year Tne real burden of taxation in this country consists not in tho direct le vies made for the support of State and local governments, but in the in direct tolls which the Washington agency licenses the privileged benefi ciaries of a highly protective tariff to levy upon the great body of the American people. If the latter were minimized, the fcrner could be borne without any appreciable degree of hardship. This Was Mean Mr. Brooks was strong, but Mr. Kitchin was stronger. It was left for him to do the scathing and crushing work. His shafts of ridicule were sharp and were shot in regulation Kitchinesque style. He accused Sim mons of being a coward and so worded a serious accusation as to escape libel and at the same time leave a sug gestion in the minds of the people that Simmons sold out to the lumber trust simply for being wined and dined at a $15 a plate banquet, a most adroit piece of word construction, at the close of which the speaker thought it safest to add. “But I did not charge that Senator Simmons had not already made up his mind to vote for the lumber tariff .’’—Greensboro News. j thereby supporting the contention of 1 he government. It is not unlikely that others will follow his example and that we will have the whole story of first hand. It is a story of deliberate, cold blooded arrangement by a large number of men to destroy property and life in many places, the perpetrators of the crimes paid a fixed price for each “job” of ruin successfully done. Be it remem bered that all this was not on any question of wages or hours. It was a war, conducted in darkness and by steaUh and as deadly and cowardly and malicious, to prevent the employment of men not members of the union. It was a war not for any right, but to en force the control of a great industry by the executive committee of the union. It was the development of a spirit ot vindictive tyranny, of malig nity and hate which have no place in this country. The dynamite plot at Indianapolis is not worr,e than the police plot in New York, making the same issue of hidden brute force and far reaching, I secret power against good citizenship and the law. In both cases the law will win as almost invariably it has won in the long run. The combinations will be broken and the conspirators punished. The processes are painfully tedious and the prospects dibcouraging sometimes; but right public sentiment will prevail.—Va, Pilot. The Costly Conquest The Air of Congressman Kitchin Get ting Out on Thin Ice. (From The Shelby Star.) Ask Congressman Claude Kitchin w’hen he comes here to speak why the tariff was reduced on monazite and Humanity will De disposed to pause in the presence of lurther sacrifice of lives to the problem of air navigation. This loss of life is becoming fearful in its apparently certain regularity. It makes up a record of six for the United States Army; a record for the world of seventeen in this month alone; a|record of 191 since mechanical aviation began. The record of death in the mastery of sceam for water and rail transportation thorite, thereby killing one ot the most important industries in Cleveland | was relatively small as compared with county and kno^'king the folks out of thousands of dollars which were com ing in when this business flourished. We are especially anxious that the people understand this action. In the Governor’s “Read the Record’* cir cular he ch'trges that Senator Simmons “favored protection on monazite sand and thorite.” The Ps^jne-Aldrich bill reduced the tariff from 6 to 4 cents and Simmons voted against this re duction. Governor Kitchin makes this cne of his main charges against the Senator in other parts of the State where monazite is not known, but he did not mention it in his speech here. The folks would like to know how it happei.ed. The laboring men in upper Cleveland who wielded the pick and shovel down in the ditch would like to know why thousands of dollars have been taken out of their pockets. Sena tor Simmons proved himself the friend of the laboring man and opposed to the trust when he voted against this reduction. The trust wanted free monazite and thorite because it can be be imported from Brazil cheaper than the sturdy men of up oer Cleveland can wash it from* the branches. In Brazil the monazite is shoveled up at practically no expense and by admit ting the product free of duty or even at a reduced tariff, the industry has been killed in Cleveland. this havoc persistently played the limited ranKS of the airmen. upon Making Money Fly Where is all the money coming from that Kitchin’s campaign managers are spending in Davidson county and the other counties of the State?

Virginia has paid $12,5(X) to detec tives for the capture of the Allen gang that shot up the court at Hillsville last March. All of the men charged with the crime have been caught, the last two having been captured in Des Moines some time ago. Two have been sentenced to the death chair, others to terms in prison, some acquitted, and the two last found remain to be tried. Few tragedies in the country’s history were more shocking than this, few brought about such a wholesale murder of men who were seeking to carry out the law. It was a murderous defiance of the court’s authority, a manifesta tion of outlawry at its worst.

He was put there by such Democrats as Senators Martine, Ray nor, Tillman, Hoke Smith, Culberson, Overman and others. Do you believe these men would put and keep a man in the position Senator Simmons oc cupied in the Senate if he were not a true Democrat? It was through the influence of f^ood- row Wilson that Senator Martine of New Jersey was elected to the Senate In a recent interview Senator Martine, who stands as close to Wilson as any man in public life, said: “All my association with Senator Simmons in the Senate has led me to believe that he is a thorough-going Democrat on all tariff measures. I am a Radical progressive, and Senator Simmons’ ideas on the tariff suit me in everv respect.” * If Wilson is elected President, and he is going to be, and if the Den>ocrats control the Senate, and they are going to, in the natural order of things Sen ator Simmons would be Chairman of the great Finance Committee of the Senate. I’hose who are opposed to him say the Democrats in the Senate will never permit him to he Chairman of that Committee. Senator Simmons knows how he stands with Democrats there, and recently before fifteen hun dred people in the City of Charlotte he gave this pledge to the Democrats of North Carolina: “It is said that if the next Senate is Democratic, notwithstanding I am the ranking Democratic member of the Finance Committee, 1 will not be made its Chairman, and thus ex officio, the majority leader of the Senate, because my colleagues do not trust me on the tariff. I think I know something about my position among my colleagues and their opinion of my knowledge and in formation cn the tariff and finance, I am so absolutely confident, so sup remely certain, that I make this offer and I will stand by it: If the next Senate is controlled by Democrats and I am re-elected to it and am not elec ted Chairman of the Finance Com mittee, within twenty-four hours after that indignity is offered me I will re^ sign my seat in that body.” Senator Simmons made the record upon which he stands and for which his opponents are criticising him, in the Senate the Democratic members of that body. If those Democrats do not believe he is sound they will never make him Chairman of the Finance Committee, and yet so certain is he of his position with those Democrats that he has given the above pledge to the Democrats of North Carolina. Could a man be fairer? He is willing to stand on his record before Democrats who know every vote that he has cast. We who are for Simmons are not attacking Judge Clark or Governor Kitchin. In the language of Governor Ay cock, “they are all Democrats.” We ask your vote for Simmons be cause he is as good a Democrat as either of his opponents He has done fully as much, if not more, for his party, and his experience and. service in the Senate give him a great advan tage over them. With Simmons in the Senate, North Carolina stands at the head of the class. Take him out and put a new man there, and that man will go to the foot of the class, no matter who he ia and it wiU be years before he can taka the stand that a Senator from North Carolina should take and does take with Simmons there. Do you want North Carolina to stand at the head or the foot of the class? By your votes you will determine it. J. H. FREELAND, County Manager for F. M. Simmons.
