ON DEMOCRATIC PARTY Republican Fallacy Being An swered in North Carolina ntH the War BeBan Cotton Was 14 '"cent" nd Wilson Was President. State Democratic Cam paign Active. (Special Star Correspondence.) Raleigh. N. C, Oct. 22. Licks fast ind fUrious are being applied by State democratic headquarters under the di ction, of State Chairman Thomas D. Ti'arren, leauniB w - tion Nov ember 3, the campaigning by prominent speakers m c.wj ocuuu of the State being supplemented by many thousands of circulars and spe cial letters being sent out to indi viduals and shipped in quantities to loca; campaign workers for circulation among the voters, with the special note running through all of getting the voters to go to the polls on elec tion day and incidentally giving em phatic denial to whatever charges against Democracy that have been put in circulation by the opposition. One especially notable charge being answered is that the Democratic' par ty is responsible for the present cot ton market situation. Chairman War ren is getting out a statement from O. Wax Gardner, of Shelby,- entitled "War and Not the Democratic Party Causing Low Priced Cotton," in which it is pointed out that "up until the war started cotton was 14 cents under the "Wilson adminstration and we ought to be thankful for Wilson and peace." Also, there is a circular gotten out by Congressman Godwin giving the average cotton prices for ten years and the exports each year and number of bales raised. Starting with 1898, under Republican rule and cotton at 4.9 cents per pound, prices are given straight on through to 1913 in their or der. This would show Republican nfle to he responsible for the lowest cot ton prices in ten years 4.9 cents and without any war or other special dis turbance. Chairman Warren says the reports from all parts of the State are most satisfactory in almost every way, the one drawback being the fact that in over half of the counties In the State there is no opposition ticket and there is danger that numbers of Democrats who would turn out and vote heartily in close election times may feel that there is no real necessity for their votes and remain at work on election day instead of going to the polls. Spe cial effort is being made to avoid this result. There were being mailed "from the State headquarters today great quan tities of campaign literature, especial ly pamphlets that set out in concise terms the achievements of the Demo cratic party in the State and the Na tion. As to the State, present condi tions of progress and State administra tion are set out and the voter asked as to his willingness to separate him self from these conditions and take chances as to what would have been the conditions had Republicans and "fusion" been continued in power. As to the Nation, the tariff ,the currency law, the anti-trust law,, the farmers' extension act and other .forward Dem ocratic measures in the National ad ministration with splendid direction of foreign relations are presented in contrast with "what might have been" under Republicanism. Leading campaigners who are going into every section of the State on speaking- expeditions are reporting to the headquarters most assuring condi tions. Attorney General Bickett, back from the extreme western section where he filled numbers of engage ments on both sides of the Blue Ridge, fays that in his opinion neither the Eighth nor the Tenth or any other congressional district in the State is in any danger of turning Republican. He considers the re-election of . Con gressman Gudger in the Tenth and. of Congressman Doughton in the Eighth as just as sure as can be. He never knew the Democracy of the mountain sections to be in finer fighting trim or more confident of victory. H. J. STAIB.NOT MURDERED. Death from atural Causes, Says Cra ven County Physician. (Special Star Correspondence.) Newbern, N. C, Oct. 20. After1 the community had been greatly excited Saturday night by the news that H, J. Staub, a well known citizen of this city. had been murdered by some un known party at his farm two miles out of town. County Physician Dr. Joseph Rhem exploded the theory by declaring, after he had performed an autopsy on the body, that Mr. Staub had not been murdered, but that his death was due to natural causes and that the wound on his head, which led to the murder theory, was caused by contact with the concrete floor of the cow hed where the body was found. . The result of this autopsy was made known to the coroner's jury and they returned a verdict to the effect that the "eeeased had come to his death from natural causes. Another thing. that led to the belief that Mr. Staub had been foully dealt with was the fact that he wfs known to have had some trouble w'ith a man and, when -his body was found with a gaping wound in the top f his head, it was naturally supposed that he had been murdered. While it supposed that this wound was caused when the body struck the concrete floor, it will never be (positively known that this is a fact and there are many 'ho still hold to the opinion that Mr. taub was struck by some person. Ac cording to the theory of a well .known Physician, even this would not have caused death as the autopsy revealed the fact that the deceased was dead lpfore he struck the floor. However, the decision of the coroner's jury has beared up matters and shown that murder was not committed in this case. Kit EE WILL BAPTISTS MEET.

Maxwell, genera traffic man ager of the Wabash System, appearing today in the interest of the Central Freisrht Association, nresented 'masses urgent need of greater revenues. He. estimated that increased , revenues ac cruing to the Wabash -system through the , advance allowed by the commis sion's recent decision would' amount to only $550,000 annually which he said would be inadequate. Nothing short' of radical revision of all the rates, such, as was recently undertaken in New England, he said, would suffice. "Anything else is just, playing with the situation," he said. "The condi tions of bankruptcy is there and Is there to stay." Attention was called during the day to. Mr, Maxwell's figures for. mainten ance of way and equipment for 1914, on the various roads. Income instanc es these showed a decided increase over similar statistics for 1913. Commis sioner Clark sought an explanation, and -the witness agreed to supply it." "We are using a lot of old shoes, patching them up," he said. "With new equipment that expense would be cut down." Montreal, Oct. 20.
