Watauga Democrat Thursday. May 3, 1906. fi. C Blrore, Editor and Proprieto Hackctt Endorsed. The time hoH rome when the voters in the Eighth Con gressional district should look forward to the choice of a candidate for Congress. The dawn of a new politi cal era is beginning to illnmi natetbe eastern horizon of the government. Tho strife between the money powers and the "common people" is more terrifflc than eyer be fore. We, os the common peo pie should with great interf8t and zeal strive incessantly to place in Congress a man who, . wun unaauntnnie courage will etand and plead for our needs. The person we wish to place before the public is u man worthy of the nomina tion in erery respect. For the past eighteen years he has been an ardnt, zealous sol dier of the great principles of Democracv. When the darkclouis of po litical warfare hovered oyer the Democratic party: when the keen lightning flashes of party strife played across its boeoio; when the rattling thunder of Republicanism bel lowed forth in awful roaring and hissing sounds that threatened to rend the Dem ocratio party from center to circumference, this illustri ous son stood true in t h e dark hour of defeat. uo, from where the blue Waves of the Atlantic lap the golden sand to where the ma j'Btic mountains rear to hea ven their lofty summits: go from the dry, hot region of New Bern to the balmy airof Ashe, and no place in this great State can we find a per son more suitabls or better prepared to represent us in Congress than R. N. Hackett, of Wilkes county. Awake, ye that slumber in swpet reDoae, whose eyelids are heavy with thealeppof despondency Awake! The old 'Ship of State has been drawn up, her sailsarespread and are being wafted by the strong bieez of politics. Look well that Hon. R. N. Hackett is on board for Con gress. F. A. Caudill. Valle Crucis, N. C. JuKt novv.it does seem that Nature has truly exerted her self h making this "section one of. the prettiest to be found on thefuceof theeartHjsides will probably reach President Roosevelt' intense dislike of "the man whith the muckrake" can hardly be won dered at, for " the man" has uncovered so many scandals that the Roosevelt Administration will go down into history as the most disreputable era of Repub lican supremacy. If there had been no mack, the rake would have remained idle. Was not a rake necessary to uncorer- the Insurance grafting, the postal frauds, the land frauds, the Panama grafting and misman agement, and would President Roosevelt hove prevented the exposure ol these scandals, be cause it unmasked the corruption or connivance of some of the highest officials rake, but the man who does stir upj the muck in an evenhonded manner, telling the troth without fear, or favor is a public benefactor. The fai:t is, the Republican Politicians had become so intrenched in power that the grafters thought anything they did, however vicious, wonld be unobserved by the people, but the man with the rake with hit publicity, exposed them and the Republican party which wns responsible for tbem. It was beautiful and suggestive too that the flrnt cities to help stricken Sanfrancfeco w ; e those! who had suffered themse'ves. The orchards, with promise of an abundant crop of fruit, nreactes of ground having the appearance of being be studded with huge boquts; the early gardens are beaut i ful, and the fiielda, carpeted in green, together with tb low hum of the bee, the war ble of the bird, and balmy bree zee ever wafting sweet perlun.ea on their gentle wingB, go to make Watauga almost an earthly -paradise, The Great Being has indeed spread blessings abundant a round around us and surely we should be the happiest and most contented people to be found. We glean from the News and Observer that the two revenue agnts, Samuels and Hasty, who were convicted ol an assault upon Editor R. A. Deal, of the Wilkesboro Chronicle, are now seeking pardons. The counsel for the prisoners huve made appli cation for their pardon, and the Governor will consider the application later. The as sailants were conyicted of an assault and sentenced to aix months each on the roads. This sentence was to go into effect the 3rd of. May. Got, Glenn, in order that he might be might investigate the ap peal for pardon, granted the men a respite until the first of June. Th Democratic Congress ional Convention for this the Eighth district, has been called to meet in Statesville on Tuesday, June the 12th, for the purpose of nomina ting a candidate for Con gress. The people of this part of tne district are highly pleased that the convention is to be held in Statesville as it is much more accessable for us than Wilkesboro. The moving little city is well pre pared with hotel facilities to carp for all who may ntteud as delegates or visitors. The Tar Heel says that t he Hon. R. Z.Linney has named the place for the holding of the Republican State Con vention, but the time hasn't yet been set. Mr. Linney sug gested some time einrc, you remember, that unless the rartcnlity among Republican officials in North Carolina could be curbed in some way, the npxt State Convention would be held in the peniten tiary. It is now up to this distinguished gentleman to name the time. " New York has raised a vast sum lor the benefit of the suf fering people of San Franch co. The collections from all f 3.000,000. The collections came from the rich and the poor. E en school children gave their savings.

That Senator El kins of West Vi rginia should declare i n a speech in the Senate that he is the best friend the railroad rate bill has. either indicatesthat the railroad do not fear that measure will hurt them, or that the Seuator begins to fear the people, who will soon have his case under con stderation. His vote on amend ments and on tne final passage of the bill will be cbsely watched by his constituents. Another prophet has pre- dieted that the end of time will be in 1 5)08.

It is a strict violation of the law to shoot harmless birds, yet we are told, shame that it is, that there are young men within the corpo rate limits of Boone who shoot with impunity cyery bird they can.

Congressman Longworth ha been trying to help father-in-'aw ont by telling the Hamilton club of Chicago that the present cry of dishonesty has the elements of hysteria. There is a general ob jection by Republican politicians to exposing the grafters. If the Ions debat in theSenate over the railroad rate bill wns notoccupying the Republican Sen ators, they might be doing some thing worse. It's only n week or two ago they passed the steal known as the ship-subsidy bill. Roth the Republican congress men from Oregon are appealing for new trials on the indictments for connection with the land frauds, and the grand jurv ut Portland has just indicted an other batch charged with the same offence.
