GUOGER BLOWETU UIS
. j, OWN HORN.
From the Waynesville Courier.
- Mr. Gudger lias issued a two page
circular, kiler to enlightnn his con-
J.it(ttentiiitfwtiom he calliM'iny peo.
pie," and ' iddreaeesSt to "Slf dt-ar
Friend", wlom lie undertakes to con
vince that he in entitled to a third
nomination for uonsresg. - -'
While we are hot disposed to crit
icise harshly Mr. Gudger's letter, we
d teel it is misleading and should he
reviewed a little in the light of plain
facts, -so that the people may listen
more attentively and dintingumh the
true note of hiB .own horn thai ho
'do bloweth." "; f :; !: ; '' :-xy.
, v-The firat note that "he Uiotetb," is
VFree itural Delivery," as if all the
credit were -due him for establish
ment of free rural delivery, routes in
the 10 ih congersssioaal uistrict du
ring his term of service. Why, Mr".
Uadger knows and he ought to kiiow
that "My dear Friend" and "my peo
plh" know that the Post Oflico De
partment, under a general law, has
absolute control ot the matter, and
that alt a congressmen can' do is to
tile the petition's of the people in the
department and urge that the. route
or routes be established.- No doubt
Mr. Gudger did what he could. But
the record shows' he did not have
good success,' as this district has
fewer rural routos'than any other
district in the State. And it is a
notable and shameful that the states
of Ohio and Indiana get as much of
the free rurol appropriation ' as the
eleven states which comprised .South
ern '.Confederacy,, Evidently the
Buckeye and ' lloosicortGrressrnen
have a greater pull wWi Post Master
General Cortelyou.aud his subalterns
than have the T&V Heels and other
southern .congressmen.. But Mr.
Gudger is not to blame for . this; he
has done-what he could. There is
no use, however, of his. "blowing his
born" about something that there is
so little in.. ' - :
'.The second distinguishable note
that "he tooteth" is "Seeds and
books." Yes, seeds that the govern
ment buys and books that the gov
ernment prints, both according to
law, which Ihe government divides
equally among the congressmen to
each of whom is furnished a secreta
ry to send them out to the people, all
at the expense of the government.
Why "blow his horn about these
things? Do they not belong to the
people? And is it not the dutv of a
congressmen to have them sent to
the people who may desire them t
Kicmond 1'earson, it we misUKe not
is tbe only congressmen from this
distriot who ever publicly notified
the penpla that it would be necessary
to' obtain the indorsement of a mem-
berof a political committee in order
to get seeds.,
The third note that "he tooteth,''
is "Buck Shoals , and - Mud Creek."
He in going to blast out Buck Shoals
in French Broad riyer' for the pur
pose, of draining the' low lands of
Mud Creek, In order that every body j
owning lands along tbe creek may
produce more corn, tie Jtas actual
ly introduced a bill to the- effect and
boast of it. : lie ought to include in
that bill another provision, in order
that -other counties in the district
ought have some of "the little things'
which he "deems important." Every
body is tiot favored with mud rreek
lands, but there are, quite a tew who
have bill sides and even mountain
tide's; therefore hit bill, to be fair(
rhould also provide for hillside ditch
es for the farmers. Does Mr. (iudg
er believe such a bill will pass?
Does he think that any., intelligent
man believe'a-il? Congress appro
priates public'money for the improve
ment of rivers and harbors in the
get eral interest pi trade and com
merce, bat not for tbe interest of
few private individuals. This is tbe
spirit and intention of tbe Constitu
tion, so that thd produott of labor in
the field, gactorr, and mine may Hnd
the beet markets of the world at least
poiaible expense, thereby increamng
the nation's wealth.
But the note that "he tooteh" not,
is "National Aid to PtiDlic Hoads."
It will", be ' remembered that Mr.
Gudger and Mr. Km art devoted much
time tff.he tlii-wnsnion of this qnes.

is broken or worn out. Or may , be
it has served its day and no longer
charms the people. Mr. jGndger
knew and. the. people' knew that no
political party, either . Stato or Na
tional had declared in favor of such
a scheme, and they knew that there
as no) a shadow of a show or hope
of securing such legislation. The
scheme mnst have been abandoned
for "he tooteh hot his horn" on Na
tional Aid to Public Roads."
The fourth note that "he bloweth"
is confused one" a hard one for Mr.
Gudger to "toot" -but evidently he
would have , those who hear - the
sound' thereof to interpret it as
meaning that be redeemed , the d is- J
trict from the republicans, in tbe
campaign o 1902. v"I worked and
you worked," be says, "and tbe Dem
ocratic party came again into power
by a small majority." Yes, 183, re
deemed the district ! Redeemed it
by the magio power of his influence
and the wonderful manifestation of
enthusiasm which his . candidacy
aroused among the rank and . file of
the democratic party 1 The truih is
this district was already redeemed
from the republicans by 3000 demo
cratic majority before . Mr. tiunger
was ever thought of for congrers, by
reason of the constitutional amend
ment, disfranchising over 4000 nero
Voters In this district . in 1901, and
the taking out of Madison county in
the rame year with 1000 republican
majority.- So the issue of 1902 was
not a question of redeeming the dis
trict but holding it. It is an indis
putable fj0tfial M.-;Guder'8jeaii-,
didacy and campaigns" have never
aroused the Democrats to enthusi
asm, so as to bring out to the polls
the lull strength of the party.
Apathy and indifference were appar
ent everywhere from start to finish,
and consequently the stay-at-home
voto was large,- which accounts for
the loss of votes to. the party in the
district.
The Stay at-home vote is always
a serious element to deal with in a
campaign. It therefore behooves
tbe Demociatio party to rally and
reclaim the ground lost. The party
nvist have new hope and new vigor,
which Mr. Gudger can not (rive.
We, therefore, do not believe the
party will make Mr. Gudger the next
standard bearer of this congressional
district.
