Woodrow Wilson has insisted that
tha United States underwrite free
dom on thla autirs hemisphere.
He goes farther than Monroe.
Farther than Michard Oiaoy, with
tha letter’s defiance of Oust Britain.
Monroe said simply that all Eu
rope most hasp oat of America, la
tha political souse.
Otnsy re-affirmed that principle
with Vesssusls.
Wtieeu lays down principles that
both af these man laid down, and
adds that—
If we protect the nations to tha
south sd aa, they must demonstrate
capacity ta govern themselves.

—and he returned to Southern Cali
fornia pronounced cured. The morn

for hia latest tailor-raad* suit, spent
much tune in dressing, put on all the
dnishing touches possible, told his
nurse he wanted to lia down for a
while and after his nuras left the
loom, ha laid down on the bod, took
a rifla, put the barrel In his mouth
and erilh hi* too pulled the trigger,
blowing the top of his head off—tha
oullag going into tha nest room.
And that sms all there was of hlr,
i'o»t—the man who insisted "thorn’s

Congresamdi that ever came from

the Republican Stats Executive Com
miUee for Kay M at Greensboro, for
the purpose of discussing “pried

"Protection’’ and “Prosperity" are
to be the slogans.
The Progressives, led by Zeb
Vance falser of Lexington. and
Marion Butler, of Sampson county
and Washington, are planning a pro
gram. Mesan. Waisar and Butler
conferred hare the other day. They
expect to stand aloof from tha Re
publican* for a time to so* what their
idol, Theodora Roosevelt, is going
to do.
"In vtow at the existing differences
within the party, as between regular
Republicans on the one hand, pro
gressive Republicans on the other,
the call for the State convention this
year is a matter of Importance" de
clared Chairman More head and Sac
ratary Griaaom in tha letter to the
various members at the State com
mittee.
"It hu been deemed both oppor
tune and expedient that man who are

ciple* of protection aad to the pros
perity of our whole country, which
■bounded under the eriae Reubliean
adminiatrationa of McKinley end of
