The American Ballot.
The American ballot repre
sents freedom and liberty; it re
presents the power, once bylords
and kings, arrogated to them
selves but which, in the course
of human progress, has been
stripped from the royal families
and vested in the people. It has
cost more patriotism, more valor,
more courage, more blood and
tears than any other one thing.
It is the battle axe with which
the citizens of this republic, the
plain common people, may win
for themselves and their pos
terity victories that shall endure.
It is the bloodless, yet conquer
ng weapon of progress with
which the plain man shall beat
down and drive from place and
power the demagogue and graft
er, the weapon with which he
shall defend his wife and child
ren and protect the products of
his toil and labor. It should be
cast free from all selfish pur
poses and in the interest of all
men. It is not a commodity for
sale as barter and the man who
would sell his ballot has no right
to exercise it. : He is an enemy
of progress and a traitor to his
own conscience as well as to his
country. On the fifth day of
November every man who votes
should go to ths poles and cast
his ballot free and untrammeled,
in the interest of free govern
ment and human progress. I
believe in the man who bows to
no political boss, the man who
stands upright and fearless, who
can neither be bribed or influen
ced by "campaign liquor" or
every country school might ' do.
If any fcf our readers want to
know how, we think a request
addressed to tho Department , of
Agriculture, Washington, D. 0.
would bring information.' : " v;
The suggestion has often been
made that we substitute thrifty,
m-oductlvc domestic Biddy for
the eagle as pur nationnL em
blein. She certainly deserves
position on our coin.
campaign money" The man
who wears his own conscience at
the ballot box and permits no
man to own a mortgage on his
head will command respect of
his fe!low9. The man who sells
out for money and then under
the influence of "campaign li
quor" reels up to the ballot box
Is an object of pity and comtempt,
also a criminal. "Spot him."

PAID ARTICLE By T. N. JAMES.
Some of the men behind the
Taft Republican county ticket
are circulating the report that
John James, candidate for Sheriff
and Henry Roberts, candidate
for Treasurer left town' last
Saturday evening drunk. If the
parties circulating these base re
ports will prove their charges
true, both these gentlemen will
withdraw from the race.
It seems to be a case where
thev are unable to prove their
candidates innocent and to s v
them from a merciless scratching,
they raise the'ery that their op
ponents are guilty. "Misery
loves Company."
John James has lived in the
vicinity of Mars Hill for ten
years. If he is a drunkard the
people there know it, would as
strict a prohibition community
as Mars Hill employ a drunkard
to tea'cli their children?

yearly over $400,000,000 worth
of eggs. Not a bad one does she
lay. How then do we, her bene
ficiaries, manage to dispoil our

her gifts?
Biddy's product is kept by the
farmer a week or two or more be
fore it gets to the country store,
where it abides another severa

WALTER CLARK TO THE v PEOPLE
! OF NORTH CAROLINA
My Friends and Fellow 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.
V The increase in the production of wealth has been "marvelous,
Indeed nearly double that of ten years ago. National .legislation
controlled by tlie Special Interests has transferred the wealth
created by you to a few so that there are now over one thousand
men in this country who possess from ten millions up to one thou
and. million each and 8 per cent of our population own more than
the other. 97 per cent.
1 Not oily this but the same legislation has transferred the wealth
created in the South, which has( been retarded in its development
by the discrimination, to the enrichment of .other sections.- The
discrimination! in freight rates agninst North Carolina amounts to
$12,000,000 annually. The tobacco tax takes from tho farmers 8
cents on every pound they raise and deprives this State of $7,000,
000 a year, while twenty-five States pay no tobacco tax whatever.
The war contribution, of $5,000,000 yearly for Federal pensions, al
most none of which comes back to us, ought to cease now that it
is nearly half a century since the war. The contribution by each
State for pensions should be rotunred to that State to be diJtribnt-
ed by it among its own citizens and their widows. '
Neither of my competitors during the twelve years each of
them served In Congress has done anything for the relief of the
people of this State from the above annual burdens of $22,000,000.
Each of you pays your part of this tribute. Do you wish it
stopped?
On 13, May, 1910. Mr. Simmons voted against a bill to pro
hibit freight discrimination and to send tlie matter back to the In
terstate Commerce Commission which had theretofore done, noth
ing for our relief, and which has douu nothing since, and about
tlie same time the tax on tobacco was raised from 6 to 8 cents a
pound an anuual addiiion of $2,000,000 yearly upon our tobacco
raisers. " '
The tobacco tax maintains the existence of the Tobacco Trust
by preventing farmers ond others from manufacturing tobacco just
as tho Protective Tariff creates the other Trusts.
In the Senate 1 shall staud firmly for the removal of the' above
and other burdens upon our people. The sharp contention be
tween the friends of my two opponents render it unadvisable for
the party to nominate either of them.
The great contest between the People and the Special Interests
must he fought but in the U. SSenateand there I can do fifty times
as much for your good as in the position which I now hold by your
goodwill. Your friend,
25 October, 1912. x WALTER CLARK.
