Moreover, the situation Iminuo par
Uoularly conducive to m. ftial discom
fort when it is rethcled that Hughes,
of New Jersey, wtio rlmmpioni I
labor's cause, voted on one side, and
Grant, with these Cannon reaction
aries, on the i hr That appears to
draw a very clear line of demarcation
between the sheep and the goats.
But to the revert to the farts. The ,
art clearly set torth in the Appeal to
Reason, the Kansas Labor organ, in
an editorial published on Oct.'uer ZZ.
it says:
J HEY KNIFED LABOR.
One of the last acts of the recent
congress was to outlaw the organiza
tions of labor. Not satisfied with
turning down all measures intending
to ameliorate the conditions d tin
toiling masses, the republican and
democratic members of both houses
put their seal of approval !in .ill pros
editions of farmer and labor unions
under the Sherman anti-trust law.
On June L. HH0, the following
tnenuiiicnt to the sundry civil service
bill, which appropriated $200,000 for
the prosecution of trusts, was adopted
"Provided, further, That no part oi
this money shall be spent in the pros
ecution of any organization or individ
ual for entering into any combination
or agreement having in view the in
creasing of wages, shortening of hnur
or beth ring the condition of labor, or
for any act done in the furtherance
thereof, not in itself unlawful."
The adoption of this amendment
was one of those accidents that some
time occur in parliamentary hodic
When it became known that the
House had exempted unions from the
anti-trust law, capitalists from all ove
the country telegraphed members oi
the senate to "kill" the labor proviso
True to their masters, the senate
struck out the clause exempting
unions on June ,
This labor proviso was defeated in
the senate by a vote of :I4 lo 16, with
48 dodging. When the action of the
senate was officially reported in the
house nn June 21, a motioryo disagrn
with the senate was adopted by a vote
of 154 to 10.'.. with 130 dodging.
Thi
paper on its Ironl pa
givi
list of the members that voted for this
amendment (known in the House as
the Huphei amendment I, and a list of
those who dodged the vote and under
that list it places Grant, as dodging
the vote, when the Hughes amend
ment passed the House on June 2
When the amendment, having passed
the house, and having been killed ir
the senate, w as sent to conference
Mr. Hughes nn June 21 offered tin
following resolution as appears in the
Congrcs ,ional Record
"Resolved, Thai the house conferees
be instructed to refuse to agree to sen
ate amendment No. 76," it beinj; the
labor amendment known as labor
amendment No 7li and they havinr
voted lo refuse to agree to that
ent, and u: that motion
anded a roll call. Thow
were instructing the
and the Congressional Record oi that
date shows his vote.
As stated by this labor organ, this
proviso introduced by Hughes in the
house was passed, and Mr. Grant fail
ed to vote either for or against the
amendment, hence that paper places
him among the dodgers. When the
bill reached the senate it was defeat
ed and of course had to go to the
conference and it was while in this
condition that Mr. Hughes, the man
who originally offered the amendment,
made the request by a resolution that
the house conferees be instructed not
to agree lo the action of the senate
in killing this proviso, exempting
union organizations, etc., and Mr.
Grant, as the Record shows, on June
..'1 voted against this instruction lo the
house conferees.
In conclusion, flies., facts cannot be
challenged upon any theory which
presupposes the ordinary intelligence
of those gentlemen of the Brother
lui'Kl. It I- unlikely that those gen
tlemen would spend four months ill

lection role, .ist from
office of the New
upb s a g i deal of
space lii today's ( iazei l..-.i w, where
,t is nrescnted Inr what it is worth
i'nless Hie Herald's political experts
ar grossly misinformed or ktrossl
pervert inn the Indications, there now
remains little more than a bare possi
bility for the Republicans to secure a
majority In th next Ionise of repre
sentatives, with strung probability
that the Democrats ma have a com
fortable majority. This Is merely a
fore, ast, compiled primarily fcr a
New York newspaper that profess.
to see in Mr. Roosevelt's partlclp.-t.o.
in na'lonal and New York State poli
tico a menace, and which does not
like Mr. Stimsoii, Mr Roosevelt's
friend who is running for Governor
of Ni w York. In its foreword of tile
political review the Herald says;
Extreme pains have heen taken to
test curlier estimates f doubtful dis
tricts, but rll surface indications show
a decided tendency toward the I)
nocracy.
This Is n.,t i partisan forecast, but
an earnest effort to ascertain how the
countr; Is going with reference to the
house of representative! in the Slxty
nteond congress.
The democratic figures have mount
ed week by we.-k until the districts
where the indications favor the dem
ocrati now number only two less than
an actual majority of the house.
It will he seen that tnda.'R fore
cast el ves only one doubtful district
n this State, the prediction being that
the remainder. Including the tenth,
are safely Democratic.
In the eighth It has been generallv
supposed that Representative Charles
H. Cowles' 1:!7D majority of loa would
make his re-election reasonably safe
The Democratic nominee, II. A.
Doiighton, has been making a very
militant campaign, however, he la a
man of much personal popularity. Is
strong with the rural voters, and for
some time the Democrats have been
expressing hop of carrying the dis
trlet. The Herald's forecast as to the
eighth, therefore, may be considered
as not unreasonable.
COL. M'SK'S APPEAL.
Wo are publishing today a letter
from Col laisk, which , om prises a
most earnest, effective, und convincing
appeal to bis Republican friends to
vote light I his year. Col. Lusk has
looked beyond county lines In writing
this letter. Realizing that a bad
lame Is as deadly In the rase of a po
litical organisation as i . the ease of
in ImllvMukJ, col. Lusk knows that
his party household must be put In
much ben, , order for the reception
of gueata. if the party la to attract
recruits.
Men whu prefer tn take their poli
tic, or even their whiskey, straight,
would n .t expect to et either under
less deceptions hnve been attempted.
Butler's personality is universally re
garded as the paramount issue in this
campaign. Should a Republican Leg
islature be elected, Butler would take
the first train to Washington, where,
i- -
upon the strength of his apparent vin
dication, he would demand confirma
tion of his dictatorship. Republicans
like Col. Lusk cannot close their eyes
to the fact that it is this dark, forbid
ding shadow that steals across the
State; an ominous form that can only
le removed at the ballot box.
The Sunday edition of the Greens
boro News published an editorial de
manding to know If, in the event of
a l'litbr-Morchead triumph. North
Carolina would be in danger of hav
ing to pay the repudiate bonds. The
editorial is signed "'.. P. S.," mainly,
we suppose, because "Z. P. S." did
not write it. We have an Idea tluit
a certain highly accomplished gentle
man, who thinks that, under thai
justly celebrated local self-government
plank a man wilt be able to make a
little brandy tor the stomach's sake,
could very plausibly claim the pridi
of authorship. "But." as Samanthy
Allen, of delicious memory, was wont
to say. "to resume " As to whether
North Carolina would be in danger
of having to pay the repudiated bonds
In ease Butler is made the party's
permanent supreme dictator, much
depends. For example, much de
pends upon whether you believe what
the Greensboro News said before, or
after, its party's State- convention.
i)r. J. S T Build's tine piece of
word-painting, "The Halcyon IVv.s."
which appears in today's Gnxette
News, was written some weeks ago.
but In Hie main is still apropos. The
daffodils, morning glories, etc , are
goin, to le- sure; but the days are
still "halcyon" and will In all prob
ability b ft.r several weeks to come.
Tins w,,n "halcyon." in this sense, by
the way. is or;ginally related to ih--fair
weather of the time ol the winter
solstice, tic halcyon (Kingfisher) hav
ing been supposed to lay her ggs in
csts on or lour the sea during the
ilm davs "f that season.
Principal Speakers Were
Judge J. C. Pritchard and
Robert R. Williams.
At Marion Saturday was celebrated
"Old Folks" and "Young Patriots'
day and it proved to he one of the lar
gest gatherings that ever assembled at
.Marion Tin' court house where the
exercises were held was crowded and
many stood on the outside. The prin
cipal addresses of the day were made
by Judge J. ('. Pritchard of the
United Stales Circuit court and It. It.
Williams, the democratic candidate
for the lower house ol the legislature
from Buncombe.
Judge Pritchard made a tine address
abuig the lines of good citizenship. He
first referred to the bravery shown by
the soldiers ol the Confederate army,
the hardships they bore, leaving Ihelr
homes to light for their count ; then
he des. rlbed these sturdy patriots re
turning to ihelr homes ami how b
hard work they overcame the effects
of the war and told of their efforts
alonR lines of good citizenship.
Mr Williams made a splendid ad
dress and captivated his audience, in
a fair and Impartial manner he dis
cussed the part which the state took
In the Confederate cause and pictured
graphically the prolonged trials,
hardships and privations they bore
when confronted by reconstruction
duys. Turning to the latter das he
showed what wonderful progress the
state has made in recent years nlons
industrial and educational lines.

Hie attention of iho workers will be
given to getting everything In good
shape for election day. At democrat
ic headquarters today il was not
known how many new names had
been added to the roll but the demo
crats .seemed well satisfied with the
result. At republican headquarters
also everything: was optimistic. One
republican today said, "there are not
more than seven unregistered repub

if course the largest Incrense In
registration has been made In Ashe.
villi' and it Is snid that about 600 new
names In the city limps have been j
added to the tiookr. The country
precincts will show corresponding
gains, of course from this some sub
tractions must be made for transfers,
deaths and removals, before the total I
