STATE ISSUES FORCEFULLY

Special to the Gazette.
Greensboro, Sept. 20. If the develop
ments of today in Winston may be
taken as a political barometer, then the
aipproaching election has many good
things in store for republicanism in the
Old North State. The Forsyth county
republican convention was held in the
Twin City, and as a second attraction
the republican state campaign was op
ened by Senator Pritchard. The speak
ing occurred at the 'conclusion of the
deliberations of the convention that
nominated an admittedly strong ticket,
and the senator was listened to by a
white, representative and enthusiastic
audience that completely filled the court
room, which is perhaps the largest in
the state.
Men who for years have made it a
point to observe such matters pro
nounced, it one of the largest political
demonstrations ever seen In the county.
Many democrats, or men who have in
the -past affiliated with that' party, were
ipresent. The first applause came when
former Lieutenant Governor Reynolds
introduced Senator Pritchard as "the
man who had done more for North Car
olina than all other senators who had
represented the state since the war,
and who had never neglected a request
made by the people of Forsyth, whether
it came from a republican or a demo
cratic source."
Not only did the rpeople approve of
this statement witti" "cheers,- Tjut one' of
the most prominent democrats of the
city came on the train just ibefore Sena
tor Pritchard left to thank him, as the
gentleman explained, for the many ser
vices he had rendered this section.
Senator Pritchard begani his speech by
an expression of determination to avoid
all that savoTed of abuse and vituper
ation, and then made good his words by
launching into what the democratc af

ternoon paper of Winston referred to as
an interesting and thoughtful address.
Ho made special reference to the so
called trust issue, which the democrats
have in their unwisdom paramounted.
In refuting the statement that the tariff
fostered the great aggregations of cap
ital known as trusts, he held up trust
ridden and at the same time free trade
England as an example to be avoided.
Statistics were brought to bear to show
that only twelve per cent, of the man
ufactured products of the United States
are in anywise affected by trusts, while
attention was further called to the oil
trust and railroad combinations which
have no interest in tariff rates. More
over, it was pointed out that President
Roosevelt had through his attorney
general proceeded against the beef trust
and the Northern Securities company,
and the statement was made that the
president stood ready at all times to
enforce the anti-trust law which was
passed by a republican congress.
Attention was especially directed to
the attempted anti-trust legislation in
this state and the half sad, half humor
ous manner in which it ended at Ashe
ville when a suit was instituted against
the ice trust. ,A demurrer had been
filed by democratic lawyers in which
the utter unconstitutionality of the act
nad been set forth and this demurrer
had been wisely sustained by a demo
cratic judge. This same legislature had
done other things just as unconstitu
ional, but when our own Supreme coui t
judges, good men and true, had pro
nounced them such, a foul attempt was
made to impeach them. It was shown
that tariff reform, such as proposed in
the democratic platform adopted, at
Greensboro, meant free raw material
and that this in turn meant incaluclable
injury to the producers of lumber, mica,
and other raw materials in North Caro
lina. "Yes, I shall welcome the paramount
trust issue when I meet Mr. Craig," ex
claimed the senator.
At this point it will be of interest to
state that Senator Pritchard referred to
Mr. Craig as the next senator, should
the democrats be successful, although
he explained that no disrespect was
meant to Mr. Watson, if that gentle
man happened to be within hearing.
State issues were discussed in an equal
ly' forceful manner.

ing W. P. Ragan for the state senate,

DISASTROUS ATTEMPT
TO ENDORSE DEMOCRATS
Special to the Gazette.
Raleigh, Sept. 20. The independent
convention of Wake county today went
to pieces on an attempt to endorse the
democratic "candidates; and after all
was over it looked like successful sharp
practice on the part of the enemies of
the movement. The following resolu
tion was offered: "Resolved, that we do
hereby reaffirm our allegiance to the
principles of the democratic party and
most cordially do we commend .to voters
of this congressional district Hon. Ed
ward W. Pou, the brilliant amd rising
statesman who so faithfully and effi
ciently nowrepresents this district in
congress. We do furthermore endorse
and commanAi to the voters of this coun
ty the candidates for the legislature as
nominated at the recent primaries."
This resolution was tabled and a mo
tion to adjourn was declared carried
and the chairman walked out, declaring
he had resigned. He was followed by
most of the democrats identified with
the movement. Those who remained
reorganized and nominated candidates
for register of deeds and county com
missioners. The executive committee
was authorized to make further nomi
nations. HILL ENDORSED BY

THE SPEECH.
Cincinnati. Sept. 20. After a 'reoeD-
tion this afternoon and evening, such
as he has seldom had from any com
munity under any circumstances, the
president delivered a speech at the
Music hall tonight which created the
deepest impression on his hearers. It
was a speech which was used as the
basis of discussion when the president
and five senators met in conference at
Oyster Bay last Monday. The speech
received the approval of the senators
at the conference. It is understood
here that republican managers gener
ally, and congressional campaign man
agers particularly, have said the speech
lays down the lines, on which the fall
campaign will be fought.
This afternoon the president delivered
a brief, informal speech at the Music
hall to the business men connected with
the Fall Festival exposition, in which
he complimented them on their indus
try and progress and predicted a great
future for the city. At the conclusion
of this speech he was driven to the St.
Nicholas hotel, where a banquet was
tendered him. He then returned to the
Music hall, - where he delivered the
prbcipa1i'"--aa'ai,ess:" " - -
President Roosevelt spoke to about
eight thousand. They frequently ap
plauded his remarks. His speech was
wholly devoted to the trust problem.
He said the evils attending over-capitalization
were sufficient, in his judg
ment, to warrant closer surpervision
of the control of the great corporations
and that wherever a substantial monop
oly was shown to exist there should be
devised an expedient for its control.
No problem, he said, could be solved
if the qualities brought to its solution
were panic, fear, envy, hatred and ig
norance. He said corporations handled
honestly were not evils. If the tariff is
changed it must be changed in order to
punish only the trusts that do ill. He
pointed out hat the tariff did not
touch the Standard Oil company nor
the coal corporations, he said, and there
was no duty on anthracite coal.
Continuing, he said the trusts can be
damaged by depriving them of the
benefits of the tariff only on condition
of damaging the smaller corporations
ui tne trusts ana an wage wuiiteis 'uj.
jillied industries affected. Changes in
the tariff would have litle appreciable
efiect on the trusts, save as they shared
in the general harm or good proceeding
from such a change.
The question of regulating xtrusis
wiih a view- of "abolishing the evils ex
r . i , , i i i -. 1 r
isting in them is separate and apart
from the question of tariff revision.
The only method for eliminating the
trust evil is wise legislation which
gives seme sovereign power of control
-ver them and requires run puoucuj
of their affairs.
He inferred to the inter-sate scope
cf some trusts and advocated unir-jrm-
ity of action on the part of the states
dealing with them. He said the states
must combine to meet the problem of
trusts and the way for the states to
combine is by action through the na
tional government. He advocated a
constitutional amendment to meet the
evil.
He said he was aware that much
time must elapse before any amend
ment could be adopted, but in the
meantime much could be accomplished
by legislation that would provide for
reasonable supervision ana run pub
licity of trust affairs. He closed by
declaring that all men should obey the
law alike and receive its protection
alike.
