The only answer he could give, in his imagination though it would be far from his lips, would be to debar forever this noted senator from holding office by the gift of the peo ple; and right at this critical junc ture, W. J. Bryan, the peerless leader, and ever the detector of traitors in our own ranks, as well as our most dangerous enemies from without, steps forward, flings the record in the face cf Senator" Sim mons, and says, in words that cut like a sword, "Thou art the man" not a democrat, but a republican, disguised as a democrat, who ought to be defeated. In their efforts to make it appear that Senator Simmons is a good dem ocrat and a friend to the farmer, he and his supporters have even ap propriated for him all credit for the Farmers' Free List Dill, when as a matter of fact this bill was prepared by Congressman Claude Kitchin. Senator Simmons well knows that he never saw this bill until about three weeks after it was drawn. He did vote for it, when the pinch came, but he could not do other wise, because at that very time he was asking the good people, in whose interest this bill was written, to send him back to the Senate. The wind was changing and he looked with alarm on wasted opportunities. To add to his terror even more the ocean mail subsidy bill loomed up before his vision and he knew that he had cast his vote to allow two giant ship trusts to plunder our treasury with as little mercy as the sea rovers of oM. I have not before had opportuni ty of referring publicly to Capt. Ashe's two column paid-for answer to a short piece of mine m The Com monwealth, lie must be very shy of the game law as he used only blank shells and of course hit noth ing. Like the rest of the Simmons constituents a lot of empty racket, lie admits that Mr. Simmons was zo stupid that ho could not see Lori-mc-r guilty in 7C0 poges of evidence, when every ten year old boy in North Carolina, that read the evi dence knew it; or that he willfully voted to retuin a guilty republican. I.-ut he could fee him guilty through S000 pages of evidence, when the North Carolina voters were placing the hand writing on the wall. (Sim mon to Aldrich) "Where you lead me I will follow, even to the brink ! 01 my campaign tor re-election, j And Capt. Ashe says that Mr. Ay- cock approved of Mr. Simmons' re cord. The very fact that he was out to defeat him is evidence against this. He also says that everybody is for Senator Simmons. Does he be lieve that the entire stock of Repub licans in the State is going hand in hand with the minority of the Dem ocratic forces that lean to the spec ial interest more than they do to plain people, constitute "everybody" Well, this may be his idea, for he has rushed in on Governor Kitchin's sacred veracity where Simmons feared to tread.

Some years ago we read in the old blue-back speller a story with a mor al, to the effect that it makes a "diff erence whose ox is gored." We need not repeat it here. It finds illustra tion in the tariff attitude of the dis tinguished congressman from the second district and his brother, the former congressman from the fifth district. The Canadian reciprocity bill, for which Congressman Claude Kitchin voted, contained a valuable concession to peanuts, as he wrote to Mr. McMichael last year. At the same time American peanuts are protected by a duty of 19 per cent, which spells fatness for the second district. On April 17, 1902, Congressman W. W. Kitchin had a colloquy with Congressman Henry, of Connecticut, in which he was pressed for an an swer whether or not he favored a re duction of the duty on cotton goods. More people use cotton good3 than are engaged in their manufacture, but it happens that there are more cotton mills in the fifth district than in any other district in the state, which will enable the reader to en joy the following artful dodging: Mr. Henry, of Conneticut. Will the gentleman allow me to ask him a question? Mr. William W. Kitchin. Certain ly. Mr. Henry, of Conneticut Would the gentleman vote to reduce the duty on cotton goods, that he says are made in his state, and that now have a tariff ot 35 per cent? Mr. William W. Kitchin I was speaking of the schedules in which there is enormous protection upon things which are manufactured and sold by trusts, and believe that they should be the first reduced. Mr. Henry, of Conneticut That does not answer my question. Mr. William W. Kitchin I know it does not answer your question the way you want it answered. I would tear down your high protective tar iffs that have fostered trusts, which enable the, trusts to rob the Ameri can people, while they sell their manufactured goods on the banks of the Danube and the Rhine, the Ama- i son and the Orinoco at cheaper pri ces than they do to the people of this country. I would also state to the gentleman that there is no charge that the cotton goods of the south are controlled by trusts. Mr. Henry, of Conneticut Does ie gentleman think that cotton schedules should be reduced? Mr. Wiiiiam W. Kitchin That is the lowest schedule, or certainly one of the lowst schedules, in the whole Dingley bill, and I ask the gentle man if fairness and justice would not require that you first bring down these other schedules? Mr. Henry, of Conneticut I am not wanting a reduction of the schedules. Mr. William W. Kitchin Do you not think that it would be the fair thing to first bring down other sche dules? Mr. Henry, of Conneticut Oh, no. Mr. William W. Kitchin The gen tleman knows that would be the fair thing, and yet he wants me, because cotton goods happen to be made by the manufacturers in my state, to say that I am in favor of the reduc tion on cotton goods. We have the speech from which the above is taken m will be glad to show it to any one who would like to see it. Nineteen per cent on pea nuts (with a Canadian concession thrown in) and 35 per cent on cotton goods is no sin, but a 7 per cent duty on lumber, the second greatest pro duct of the state, is a crime! Truly it makes a difference whose ox is gored.

(Political Advertising:.) vAa oH PV1W Citizens: Your choice of your United States Senator will deeply affect your welfare. It ought not to be procured by agencies employed to control your votes. The increase in the deduction of wealth nas been marvelous, indeed ur AnMa thot of ten vears aco. National legislation, oontrolled by the Special Interesto, has transferred the wealth created by you to a few Drt tw fhnrp are now over one thousand men in this country who possess from ten millions up to one thousand million each and 3 per cent of our population own more than the other 97 per cent. Not only this but the same lepislation has transferred the wealth cre ated in the South, whsch has been retarted in its development bp the dis- inotinn to thP enricoment of other sections. The discrimination in VI freight rates against North Carolina amo unts to $12,000,000 annually, the tobacco tax takes from the farmers 8 cents on every pound they raise and deprives this Siate of $7,000,000 a year, while twenty-five States pay no tobaaco tax whatever. The war contribution of $o,000,0U0 yearly for Federal pensions, almost none os which comes back to us, ought to cease now that it is nearly half a century since the war. The contribution by hach State for pensions should be returned to that State to be distributed by it among it3 own citizens and their widows. Neither of my competitors duaing the twelve years each of them roi v ed in Congress has done anything for the relief of the people of ihis State from the above anntal burden of $22,000,000. Each of you pays your part of this tribute. Do you wish it stopped? On 13th. May, 1910, Mr. Simmons voted against a bill to prohibit freight discrimination and to send the matter back to the Interstate Commerce Commission which had therefore done nothing for our reli ef, and which has done nothing since, and about the same time the tax on tobacco was raied from 6 to 8 cents a pound an addition of $ 2,000,000 yearly upon our tobacco raisers. The tobacco tax maintains the existence of the Tobacco Trust by pre venting farmers and others from mrnufacturing tabacco just as the Pro tective Tariff creates the other Trusts. In the Senate I shall stand firmly for the removal of the above and other burdens upon our people. The sharp contention between the friends of my two opponets render it unadvisable for the party nominate either of them. The great contest between the People and the Special Interests must be fought out in the U. S. Senate and there I can do fifty times as much for your good as in the position which I now hold by your good will. WALTER CLARK. 12 October, 5912.
