3 Congress Repudiated By Its Own Folitical Faiih " Says Angus. W. M' Lean In Opening Democratic Campaign in Columbus County, Lum- -berton Statesman Draws C ontrast Between Weekj-Lodge- RlltaH Crnun f PanfiririMft Partv in 4 Clir-h I pnApf. fif the Democratic Party at Woodrow ' Wilson Discusses Government by Party. ' WHITEVILLE. Oct. 10. A. W. McLean, former chairman of th war finance corporation aad promi nently mentioned a a candidate for or rn or In the If 24 election, opened the democratic campaign here Tburedar In an addre In which he criUclaed the national republican administration. Mr. McLean praised the record of the 'democratic party, both la thla aute and nationally. While he was not aa bitter In hla condemnation of the republican aa aomo of the epeakera who are taking part la the atate campaign, ht read crttlclema ukea from various republican Jour nal! which bitterly condemned Con gr for It alleged hortcomlng. In reviewing the work of the prevent Congress, Mr. McLean dla cuaaed moat of the major accom pliahmenta and declared no Congreaa had ever been ao completely repu diated by those of lie own political faith. . Tha principle of the two partiee were denned and a comparlaon made. Mr. McLean also drew a contrast between the Weeka-Lodge-Glllett group of the republican party and euch leader of the dem ocraU as Wood row Wiloon. Mr. McLean apoke In part aa fol- The only practical and effecUvf way for a majority of the voter to eipreaa their wilt upon public ques tion and to select representative, whom they are willing to trust to carry out their will, tm to affiliate actively with on of the two great political parties, now aaklng for tha support of the voter In this coun try. ' ' ' It become the duty of every good t-i titan, therefore, not only to align himulf nr hraelf with one of the partiee. but also to be aure that the party to whlcn aiiegiancej m - i. iha nartv that can be best de pended upon to adminlater the af fair of government in the Inter of all the people. A large majority nf the voter In both political par- tie are conscientious In their effort to cast their vote for the common good. If incompetent or unworthy men or wgnivn i wrw-- flcm. it 1 generally due" to the fact that the good men and women who are entitled to vote have not taken proper interest In political affair. No government can bo better than a malnritv of . those who select It public servants. It la obvious, there- far, that every God -fearing citizen, mtia Is eligible to do so. should take a positive interest In the selection of those who are cnosen to conauci our governmental affair. W are now approaching another biennial election, when it become the rutg of the voter to take part in the selection of those who ahall renreaent them In shaping the poli cies of government, and also of put ting these policies into practical effect. Good citlien. when they come to exercise the franchise, may fall Into either of two kind of error. First, they may be guilty of the error of commission; that is. when they go to the polls and vote for those whom they know are unlit to hold office. And second, the error oi omission which many, unfortunately, are . . 1 1 a at. aheJI (Via AMIIM TaVtlaVfl ITIf1 Ulll. V ULi BIIU V v--ws " and women fall to Uke an active interest in the affair of government, by remaining away from the poll on election day. It is probable that this sin of omission. If 1 may call it so. Is the sin, which the good peo ple of your county should be most careful to avoid at tne present time. Choosliur the Proper Political Party. In this" country there are two po litical group. One group la composed of those who are generally seeking special favors at the hands of the govern ment, either In benefits to be con ferred, such as exemption from tax atlon. subsidies, orvepecial favors In the way of high protective tariff duties. This group believes in tno centralization of power at Washing ton, and keeping the rein of gov. ernment In the handa of a few In flu entlal persons a select class highly organized and well financed. They mistrust the political rule of the masses of the common people. Long before the adoption of the fed eral constitution, this group affiliated together in their political activities. The name chosen to designate tbem was changed from time to time until the organization of the present re publican party. Since the organiza tion of that party, the group men tioned has comprised the bulk of those who have affiliated with it. In early days, Alexander Hamilton was the chief exponent of this group. While today it is typified, in the leadership of men like John W. Weeks, secretary of war, in Presi dent Harding's cabinet: Henry Cabot Lodge, republican leader In the sen ate, and Speaker Gillett. of the pres ent house of representatives. Mr. Harding, In his campaign for the presidency, frequently declared that when elected President he would call to bis active assistance a group of the "best minds" in the country. The Identity of these "best Speed Up 5c Everywhere Don't lag. Eat Etdt rslslas aad speed up. Delicious when you're h angry.

Get little red bom 1 tSc everywhere. and try. Little; Sun-Maids "Between-MeaT Raisins mlnda was subsequently' disclosed In tha appointment of. Secretaries Week, rail. Denby. Hughea and other in the cabinet, and the ap pointment of men Uke George Har vey to the most Important diplo matic posts. Secretary Weeks re cently stated that the "agricultural block composed of senator from tha south and west were dangeroua to good government, and that the country would be better off. If It had fewer elections. Secretary Hughea recently stated, that In hi opinion the best form of government I that by "aa Intelligent minority." The other large group, which has existed from the very foundation of thla government, la composed of those who believe In the rule of the people a representative democracy In government controlled by a ma jority of the electorate, without rec ord to their wealth or social status. This group believe that no special privileges or Immunities should be granted by the government to any one; that there ahould be equality of opportunity In all matters relating to the social, economic and industrial activities of the people. Thomas Jefferson was an early and promt nent exponent of this group, while mora recently It has been repre sented by Wood row Wilson. From the days of Jefferson down to this good hour, they have gener ally enlisted tinder the banner of the democratic party, because the dem ocratic party baa been from the be ginning the responsive instrument through which the masses of the people could give voice to their de sire apd aspirations In government. Loral Helf -Government. The democratic party stands today where It has always stood, for the great principles which brought it Into existence equal right to alL special privilege to none; and for local self-government for the stat and smaller sub-divisions in .our schema of government. Above all, it stands for that sentiment you may call It Idealism if you choose, that exalts human beings above money. It is and haa always been the champion of tha rights of the states and the various cities, counties and other local sub-divisions to admin ister their own local affairs by ser vants of their own choosing. Now since the war Is ended, the democratic party believe that the line which divide the functioning of the federal government from that of the states should be clearly defined and fully respected to the end that our dual form- of government and particularly that part which belongs to the states and localities, so wisely itabllshed by our forefathers. should be restored to all of Its pris tine strength and usefulness. The democratic party haa always opposed the centralization of power at Washington in time of peace. It believes In the respect of it great founder, Thomas Jefferson, who said: "It is not by the consolidation or 'concentration' of- powers, but by their distribution that good govern ment' Is effected. Were we directed from Washington when to sow end when to reap, we should, soon want bread." Duty of Women Voter. A large majority of the white wo men of the south were reluctanj. te accept the franchise when It was given them by the amendment of the federal constitution. -This attitude was accentuated by the fact that they doubted the ad visability of having the federal gov ernment Intervene in matters relat ing to the franchise preferring to leave that function of government to the jurisdiction of the states. This attitude was natural, particularly in the south, for reasons which It is not now necessary to discuss. But woman suffrage is now an accomplished fact, and the women like other good citizens who have come Into the enjoyment of the franchise should accept the situation and promptly perform their duty by casting their vote at every election. No woman can afford to neglect her duty by failing to vote on election day any more than she can afford to neglect any other duty, which may devolve upon her in connection with her household or family affairs. It seems to me that the democratic party should appeal very strongly to womtn at the present time, because women believe in the principles of social Justice, and humanltarlaniem, which are the cardinal tenets of that party. So the question which- will be finally propounded to each voter when he or she comes to cast the ballot Is: Which of the two parties is most likely to serve the masses of the people most faithfully which party will most probably provide the means of realizing the purposes of all government the protection of life, the conservation of health, and the pursuit of happiness. The only safe way to decide between the par ties Is to view their past record of performance. In the light of this test, I confi dently offer the record of the dem ocratic party, with the belief that your decision will he favorable to that great party, which was never more alive or more needed In the administration of the affairs of this government, than a tthis most im portant period in its history. Democratic Record In North Caro lina. The record of the democratic party in North Carolina since It as sumed control of the state govern ment 21 years ago is without a parellel. No state in the union -can show such wonderful progress along social, educational and industrial lines. During every administration from Aycock to Morrison the record of the state has been one of great achievement and progress. Every year, during this whole period, has brought us nearer the goal for which we have been striving the best governed, the most progressive, the most prosperous, and the most con tented people of any state in the union. If a stranger will examine Into the history of the state govern ment, during the period mentioned, he will be compelled by candor to admit that the affairs of North Car olina have been conducted In such a way as to carry out the real pur pose of good government to func tion in such a way as to afford the people full protection for their lives and property and full opportunity to enjoy their business, social, cultural and religious privilege. During lea than two years of the period Governor Morrison haa beea at the bead of the state government. Dunr.g the two years more prog res ha been mad and more haa been undertaken In the way of In ternal Improvements than during any other period In the history of the stale. Governor Morrison has measured up to the best traditions of a great office. He has displayed ability, wisdom. Imagination, firm ness. Industry and courage In deal ing with the great problems Involved la. the program of public Improve ments which has made hla adminis tration already a notable one. Mr. McLean then recited the won derful progress mad by the state under the democratic administration from Aycock to Morrison in driving out Illiteracy by extending the pub- lie school system; Increasing the rvalue of school property from a lit tle over a million dollars In lie to Jl million dollar in 111. the lengths of the school term from 71 chairman of the ways and means committee. In congratulating the country on Its. good luck in getting na oi uson, saia: in made the statement that the then President. Mr. Wllaon. was going to change hi , boarding house on the 4th of March, and he did. I said we would say to him what I have beard sung at the close of the school I attended down In the backwoods, when I was a boy: -Good-bye, scholars, good-bye school, good-bye teacher, you darned old fool." " Contrast thia with the sentiment of ministers of the gospel and other good church people assembled on the same day In the general confer ence of the Methodist Episcopal church, which adopted and sent to Mr. Wilson the following resolution: "Resolved, that this, general confer ence Instructs Its secretary to convey our greeting to the Hon. Woodrow there ever was a time In the history of thla or any other government when the imposition of excessively high Import duties was an economic absurdity aa well aa a serious Injury to both the foreign and domestic commerce of the nation. It is now. It seems to be the purpose of repub lican leader to destroy our foreign trade and to confine our commerce within the boundaries of the United States. I have not the time to diacua tha tariff In detail. All I desire to say Is that in the tariff bill Just enacted the republican leaders have departed from the position of their party, which has advocated In the past a tariff It claimed would protect. In dustrie In this country from unfair competition on the part of foreign manufacturer. The bill Just enact ed, instead of being an ordinary protective. tariff like the Payne-Aid- mocracy and world peace; that we assure him that, we stand for the great prindplea of International equity and good will, which he ha day to 117 day, tha number oftso clearly enunciated.

He dwelt at length upon th effi ciency bf the atate tax department In collecting the revenue at a mini mum cost. He explained the misapprehension existing in some quarter of the state as to the method of assessing the property for taxation and the purpose of such taxes, saying that the reformation of our system of levying and collecting taxes was one of the outstanding accomplishments of Governor Morrison administra tion; In accord with th humanita rian "spirit which characterizes the action of the democratic party in governmental affairs, the state haa constantly increased It facilities for the humane car and treatment of the afflicted and unfortunate, the poor, the deaf and dnmb. the blind. the Insane, wayward boy and girl, crippled and feeble-minded children and prsona afflicted with tuberculo sis, thereby fulfilling one' of the greatest function of a highly civil ized and Christian state. Democratic Achievements ta Na tional Affairs. During the eight year of Wood row Wilson's administration -more constructive and beneficial legisla tion waa enacted In the Interest of the masses of th. American people than was enacted during all of the period of republican rule since the civil war. The nation, during these four years before we entered tha world war,-there waa written upon the statute books legislation which liberated the business men and far. mers of the juatlon from financial condition which had hampered them for "more than a generation. The gate of opportunity for the conduct : of lawful enterprises were thrown wide open. The business man, the artisan, and the farmer were" set free to enjoy the fruits of their labor unhampered by laws en acted for the special benefit of i financial ' oligarchy. It freed the farmer from the contact of a system which haa not adapted to" farming operations and enabled him to sell his produce at prices that gave rea sonable compensation. Measured by every possible stand ard by the volume of foreign trade, the expansion of domestic trade, by the rate of wages paid our laborers. , by the volume of bank clearances. and by the general volume of our trade, the country enjoyed the great est prosperity ever -enjoyed at any period In our history. i Record In World War. In 1914 the greatest war In all history broke out in Europe. The military result was almost In stantaneous. Scarcely had our army arrived , in force in France, when American 1 marines gave the German army a taste of the metal of which j they were made at Chateau-Thierry; me MinoenDurg line was soon bro ken by the tremendous onslaught of the Thirtieth division, composed of men from the Carollnas and Ten nessee; the Prussian guard crum bled, as Its black eagles were driven from the Argonne forest The proud war, lords of Germany ; saw the handwriting on the wallconfront ed by these almost ' unlimited re sources in man power and war ma terials the morale of the German armies in the field aa well as her people at home was finally destroyed by th powerful words of Woodrow Wilson, picturing in all its sordid outline the hideous conduct of the German leaders, in continuing their war upon humanity. The German throne tottered at first; and then crumbled into dust; the boastful but cowardly kaiser fled like a hunted beast; and his broken armies plead ed for peace at any price, and finally accepted the verdict of Ig nominious surrender. The German war lords have frankly conceded the major part of their final overthrow to the Ameri can armies and to the moral influ ence of Wilson's appeal made direct to tne Herman people, our associ ates in the war have generously con ceded Americas great part in the final result. v ' But not so with the leaders of the republican party. Most of them have done what they could to belittle the part which this government and the great American army played in de feating Germany. They have allow ed their patriotic instincts to be dwarfed, and overshadowed by a Jealous spirit and refused to admit that, a democratic President and a democratic administration contrib uted to the winning of the great war. The republican party, under the leadership of Mr. Gillett, of Massa chusetts, In the house, and Lodge, of Massachusetts, tn the senate, both of whom are principally noted for their hatred of Woodrow Wilson, labored In season and out of season to harass Mr. Wi'son. and to dis credit the work of the democratic administration during the war and after. They have continued their malicious abuse of hfm since he quit office and with the wounds due to the war retired to the peace of Ma private home. Only the other day Congressman Cordney, republican, Wilson, the apostle of modern de- (rich law, I in moat case a prohibi tory unit creating - an emDargo against Imports not only upon om luxuries, but also upon many of tha necessities of llfs. Th tariff bene fits hav not beea distributed, but have been levied In the Interest of a few big trusts and monopolies. On account of this feature of th new tariff bin. It 1 generally admitted that there never waa a time in the history of tariff legislation when the tariff was such a live issue; not only because the present law has been denounced by democrats but princi pally because It has been denounced and repudiated by thousands of trustworthy republicans' and by many . Influential republican news- God' blessing upon him, and pledge ourselves to the promotion of th great truth, he haa so ably et forth." RepabUraa Promise Broken. The republican leaders In .the congressional campaign of 1111 and the1 presidential campaign of 1920 obtained vote enough to give them control of the government by all manner of false pretense. They appealed to th passions and preju dice aroused by th war. They ap pealed to race prejudices, engen dered by the events of th war among th foreign voter In Amer ica. They villlfted the President of th United States, and they mad all manner of promises aa to what they would do for the voters. If they were returned to power. , After more than three and a half years. In which a republican Congress haa been In ion, they ar unable to show that they have performed their promises. but on ths other hand the record shows that most, if not all, of their promise hav been broken. It 1 impossible now to refer to all of thir broken pledge. But some of them may as welt be mentioned. (a) The republican administration in assuming control promised a rad ical reduction In government ex penditures. It not only has not re duced expense, but haa actually In creased them above the level exist ing during the peace period Imme diately preceding the world war. (b) The, republican party prom ised us prosperity, but Instead dur ing the nearly two years in which they have been in control of all branches of the government, they have given us adversity and hard time. The total wealth of the coun try Increased by 115 billion dollars during Wilson's tenure of office from Ull to March. 1921. During the past two years of the Harding administration fS billion of thla 115 billion Increase has been lost by slump In value. Since the republi can party was .voted into power In 1920 the American farmer alone have suffered a loss of billions of dollars In the shrinkage In values of their farm property and farm prod ucts. (e) The republican party promised to stimulate business, both domestic and foreign, but they did not do so. The record shows that our total for eign trade declined from II billion 500 million dollar In 1920, when the democrats were tn power, to six bil lion dollars In 1922, under the Hard ing administration. The total value of our exports fell from eight billion 600 million dollars for the fiscal year ending in June. 1921, to three bil lion 770 million for the fiscal year ending in. June, 1922. The figures disclose a shrinkage of more than four and three-quarter billion dol lar In our export trade during the first full year of Mr. Harding's ad ministration. It has been estimated by competent experts that the total slump in prices and values from the beginning of 1921 up to the present ijiub i ios uvvu sunieininf iikc eu on- Hon dollars, or about five times the total of the debts owed us by for eign nations. (d) The republicans promised full employment of labor at good wages, land peace and good feeling between capital and labor. This promise was also broken. There have been as many as six million Idle men at one time since the Harding administra tion took control of the government; wages have been reduced, strikes. disorder, discontent 'and great vio lence have prevailed throughout every section of the country, to a more general extent than at times in Its history. The republican leaders In the campaign two years ago promised to reduce the cost of living. As a matter of fact the cost of living has Increased within the last year, and urnow 65 to 70 per cent higher than in July, 1914, the month before the worll war was commenced. The cost ox living Is bound to continue to increase since the enactment of the new tariff bill. . . They promised to formulate a sound merchant marine policy. They have broken thia promise, and are now proposing to sell ships which cost America three billion dollars at about 10 cents on the dollar, and pay those who' purchased them at that ridiculous price 75 million dol lars a year for 10 years, or a total of 760 million dollars, as a subsidy to operate them. Much of this dis aster to our mereant marine can be attributed to republican policies In hampering our foreign trade by a high protective tariff and a failure to pursue a constructive and business-like course in respect to our foreign relations The republicans, through a state ment made by Mr. Harding at Ma rion, Ohio, on August 16, 1920, promised to reverse completely Wil son's foreign policies. Inustead of doing this, they have followed In Wilson's footsteps and approved many of his foreign poli cies. After denouncing the Wilson ad ministration for proposing to pay Colombia 25 million dollars to pay tor tne illegal seizure of the Pan ama canal right-of-way by Presi dent Roosevelt, a republican admin istration, under President Harding and .Senator Lodge ratified a treaty, providing- for the Immediate pay ment of this 25 million dollars. They denounced Wilson for re fusal to recognize the illegal govern ment of Mexico, and Senator Lodge promised that one of the first acts of the republican administration would be to settle the Mexican ques tion. Nearly two years have elapsed and the Mexican question is still un settled, and the Mexican government has not been recognized. The Fordney-McCumber Tariff. Perhaps the most stupid and in defensible thing the republican party has done up to the present time Is the enactment of the Fordney-Mc-Cumber tariff act, which the admin istration has Just succeeded in Jam ming through Congress. In adopt ing - this measure, the republican leaders have displayed such a dis regard of the ordinary economlo forces and trade relations that it is impossible for any sensible man to understand what could actuate men THE STORE OP TRUTH.

The New Tork Herald, a staunch, republican high tariff organ, owned by Frank A. Munsey, referring to the tariff bill, recently said: "The New Tork Herald, reflecting the pro tective principle and conviction of it owner. Is a consistent and stead fast advocate of the-Amerlcan tariff system. But th owner of The New York Herald cannot stand for damn fool protectionism, and - The New York Herald will not stand for it." Of the many republican business men who have denounced the tariff I will only quote the statement of I one, Tho. W. Lamont, peaklng to I the ImarlMn nanltM .mmJ.Ha. 1 In New Tork two week ago, in re ferring to the tariff bill, said: "We shall be fortunate Indeed if we do not And in practice that It protects a lot of Industrie that do not re quire protection, and cuts off from our farmers and manufacturers a lot of foreign markets that are ready to buy our commodities." It la also denounced either In whole or In part by the following staunch republican newspapers: The Philadelphia Public Ledger. The New Tork Evening Post, Th New York Tribune. The New Tork Jour nal of Commerce, The Chicago Tri bune, The Chicago Daily News, The Philadelphia North American, Th Springfield Republican, Ohio State Journal, Magazine of Wall Street. St. Paul Dispatch, New Tork Globe, Kansas city Star, St. Louis Globe and other. Many of these repub lican newspapers denounce the act for the reason that it will destroy our foreign trade. Increase the cost of living. Inure to the benefit of the trust and monopolies, while others go further and say that it will make It impossible for us to collect 11 billionof dollars owed us by foreign nations. Internal Revenue Taxes. The democratic party believes that taxes sho'd represent the cost of the benefit afforded by orderly government to the citizens that taxes, therefore, should be paid In proportion to the benefits derived by various classes of our citizens: that they should be equitably levied, so that the bulk of the taxes should be paid in proportion to the property and income which the citizen enjoys unaer tne protection of the government. Judged by its past record and nar- ticularly by its action in framlnr and giving to the country the Inter nal revenue act of 1921, the republi can party remains true to its policy of conferring special privileges upon a favored few by reducing their taxes taxes and shifting the burden to tne masses of the people. ine ways and means committee In the house, with the approval of r-resident Harding, repealed the ex cess profits tat. which was nald principally by a few big trusts, and a few very rich individuals, like John D. Rockefeller and others, and thereby relieved these taxpayers of taxes aggregating 450 million to 600 million dollars. The same committee, with the ap proval of President Harding, pro posed to reduce the Income tax on those with the largest Incomes from 65 per cent aa fixed tn the demo cratic revenue act to S3 per cent. In the senate the democratic mi nority, led by Senator Simmons, made a strong fight against such a big reduction in the income taxes of the trusts, and big millionaires, and after a long fight succeeded In fixing the maximum surtax at 50 per cent instead of 32 peV cent. The demo crats were able to bring about thia result by persuading some progres sive republicans from the agricul tural states of the west to vote with them and override the action of the reactionary republican leaders.
