THE DOTY OF RANDOLPH
DEMOCRATS.
A Iocs or interest ami u failure to
go to the polls ou the part of demo
crats might Materially change the
result of the election.
It is difficult fur the musses of
democrats to Bet the necessity fur
turning out on election day because
this is in one sense & doubtful state.
There is not a county east of Salis
bury that is low uuder republican
rule. In the last Legislature then-
were only two counties euat of the
Yadkin river that sent republican
members. There is no doubt about
which party deserves the best at the
hands of the people, both in state
and county government.
Here in our own county everyone
who has taken the trouble to investi
gate knows that the republicans
have never properly niun'il our
county affairs and under democratic
rule there has never k-en just cur.fe
for complaint.
As a business matted, tho preju-r
thing to do is to perpt-tiii' ileum-
cnus iu power in me cuii:. hh k

of defeat and a turning over of tli-
County to a board of coniniis-iuniTi-
who never settled with the sheriff or
connty treasurer until forced to do
so by the overpowering influence of
public sentiment.
No county in the state can show a
brighter record as to tho manage
ment of the finances of the comitv
than can be shown by the democratic
party in this county. No county ii
the state has a better board of cum
missiouers. No county in the state
has a better 01 more efficient buari
of county oflbials. Our party has
never nominated a better icket from
first to last than is presented to tin
people in this campaign. If the
democratic nominees for the Setine
and the House are elected, the peo
ple may depend with confidence tip.
on being properly represented in the
next Legislature.
If the republican nominees should
by any means be elected we would
all wake up in the morning after the
election only to rcju-t how foolish we
had been for not putting foith
greater effort to elect democratic
nominees.
Lei every democrat not only go to
the election, but speak to his neigh
bor about going. The democrats of
this county must do their full duty.
Our people have a deeper interest in
this campaign than iu any known in
years, because President Koosevelt
has injected into politics un issu
which goes to very man's hume. II
is catering to 'he negro vote in every
democratic state.
Every democrat surely should gu
to the polls and not only vote against
Roosevelt, aud for the nominees of
the democratic party who standboldly
for the principles which are essential,
not only to our peace aud prosperity,
but in support of those principle
which are absolutely necessary for
the perpetuation of Sonthern civiliza
tion.
VOTE, VOTE, VOTE.
By the proper work and the get
ting out of every democrat it
only a question of how large the
majority will be.
The situation ia improving every
day.
'''here is probably not so much
enthusiasm this campaign as we have
sometimes, but there is incresed
interest ia many sections. The peo
ple are determined to vote, but are
more quiet about it than usual.
Two years ago the Courier contain
ed the following in large black type:
"It is circulated by the hired tools
of the Republicans that under Demo
cratic law the valuation of lands and
personal property will be greatly in
creased. This is to scare the people
and is ABSOLUTELY UNTRUE
and has no foundation in fact."
This was done because every re
publican candidate in the county and
every republican speaker in the coun
ty were trying to scare the people by
faying their 'axes would be raised.
The Courier said then their state
'menU were nntrue and time has
vindicated the fact that these state
ments bad do foundation.

DID THEY LIE?
Four years ago the white men
were told if they could not read Latin
they would never be allowed to vote
ag'iin. Four years ago the republi
can speakers in every county in the
slate solemnly warned the people if
the amendment was adopted that i
would put an end to their liberty,
and that illiterate white men would
no longer be allowed to vote iu thic
state.
Two years ago every republican
candidate and speaker on every
stump Hi iSoith Carolina told ir
ncople that the democrats had passe
a law icquii'i'ig assessors of laed at
the next u-.s'oJ'smeut, which could not
and would not, under the law, be
hel l until in 1903, would assess all
the land at its cash value; not what
it would brinir at public auction, but
what it would bring at the Highest
prices at prolit sale.
Tlt-ae republican leaders statea
that this was only an entering wcdgi
and that the democratic legislature,
if elected again, would not only raise
ihe valuation of lands, bnt of all
properties and increase the taxes so
that it would oe unbearable.
Kind render, if you attended any
republican speakings two years ago
you probably know that these state
ments, r similar ones, were made.
1'vervone knows that unless improve
ments ha e been made upon land or
mie special reasons for it, the p.s-
e!nu'iit has not been increased.
Compare vour last tax receipt with
one of former years and you will see
nut h hat ue sav is true.
When we consider the fact of ii
'r-ii-vd farilitie.i and the savins an
(iiiomv pra' tieed by democratic ul
licialf, no wonder the republ'en
party has been practically put on:
heiress in North Carolina. An
who is.responsible fot its sad cnrfi
t'.o::? Its pitiful plight is due to its
fulw representations, deceptions and
hypoeraey in attempting to deceive
the people, as well as its misdoings
in oltice when it. was intrnstea with
the affairs of the state and county.
Mr. Charles Ross, Representee
Page's efficient secretary whe is doing
such brilliant service for the dein
ocrats in this campaign was at Star
recently when .Mr .v.emtenhall, tli
republican nominee for l''--;-7:v
had au appointment, there, ilr I'.fn!
and others reiinested a division of
time and it is reported that Alenden
hall replied that it was beneath his
dignity to divide time with Mr
Pace's secretary. If Mendenhall
had met Mr Ross he would not only
have lost his dignity, bat would
have been completely .whipped. It
is said that John Rrittain punctured
Mr McndenhaU's hide so badly that
the chilly November winds are giv
ing him much tronbl.
A feeling of security on the part
of democrats materhlly affect the
result of the election. Two Tears
ago there was something like two
hundred democrats in this county
who did not eo to the polls. It is
to be hoped that every democrat will

every one see that his neighbor goes

are greatly encouraged by recent
events aud confidently expect the

The registration books show
consni'-rable increase in l&vor or. the
democrats. The cahairman of the
Democratic County Executive Com
mittee calls upon every democrat to
go to the polls on election day and
vote early. Let every democrat turn
out and vote the first thing after
eating his breakfast.

There are not a few peorh i t t::c United Statea who believe that President Roosevelt weuld Hke
to be Emperor. More than ouiw he La? exceeded his authority as President of the United Statea.
Without authority of law he ha directed his Secretary of the Treasury to pay out nearly Five Million
Dollars of the people's money. A bill was introduced in the Senate by Senator Gallinger and ia the
House by Representative Sulloway providing that certain Union soldiers should be pensioned. The
bill never passed either the Senate or House. It was not even considered; but Emperor Roeeevelt
decided that these men ought to be pensioned anyway, so he ordered the Secretary of the Treasury
to pay them, without any authority of law whatever. ........
In Cromwell's time a King or Emperor who dared do thus was in danger of losing his head, bat
is our country it seems that the President can violate the law with impunity. It remains to be seen
whether the people of the United States will endorse or repudiate this usurpation of authority. "23
LouiB the XVI of France said "I am ths State," likewise, Mr. Roosevelt says. "I am the State:
Congress is useless: MY WILL is LAW." Slowly but steadily State rights have been surrendered op
to the general government. Forty years ago no President would have thought for a moment of doing
what President Roosevelt has done. At Indianola, Miss., he appointed a negro woman postmaster.
The people said that they did not want a negro woman for their postmaster. Emperor Roosevelt
replied: "If ou don't patronize this postothce with a negro woman in charge, you shall not have a

Senator Isadore Rayner declared in Baltimore the other night that for this aet President Roose
velt ought to be impeached. If the people of the United States want a bully for President let them
vote for Emperor Roosevelt If they want a plaia, old-fashioned gentleman who believes that pub
lic officer is a servant of the people and not their master, then they should vote for Judge Parker.
Ah! how many men have a false conception of the functions ef a public official! A public officer it
simply the hireling of the people. He is not their master, but their servant, and the sooner the peo
ple of the United States repudiate this latter-day doctrine, the better it will be for them.
We cannot think of President Roosevelt as Emperor without thinking of Booker Washington aa
hi3 Prime Minister; and, of course, only Secretary Shaw can fill the position of Court Jester.
