' New York. Oct 19. There has been no better Indication of tbe atti tude of tbe old guard In the repub lican party towards tbe ticket noml nated by Theodore Roosevelt, at Sar atoga than to note that Vice-Presi dent Sherman paased through tbe city recently without calling at tbe state headquartera. Not only that, be did not com- munirato In any way with Ezra P.

Ward, New York'a representative on the re publican national committee, to servo on tbe executive committee, shows that the men who have been Inning republican victories have not forgiven, and much lean forgot ten. Colonel Rooaevelt'a action. They are all escaping any responsibility for tbe result of the election, and Vice-President Sherman has made arrangements to spend moat of the time between now and electlqa day peaking outside tbe state. That there is a continued drift away from tbe republican ticket throughout Ilia state and an Indiffer ence on tbe part of the old guard aa to what happens on election day. Is indicated by reporta received from special eorreepondt-nta of tbe Herald. In Westcbeater county republicans admit that their plurality will be re duced. In Warren county tbe Indi cations are that the normal republi can plurality will be cut down. In Albany, where William Barnes. Jr.. bead of tbe old guard la lta fight with Colonel Roaevelt, holda forth republicans freely state that the re publican nominee will be heavily rut.

B. Jonea of Winston-Salem spoke at tbe court house laat, night and brought the oearere to a big point of enthusiasm when he called on them to support General Carr for the bouse aud Major S ted man for con gress. : , : . ' 4 i Judge Jones waa ablest in bla dia- cusaiona of the state lasuea and es- peojally vehement in bla denunciation of Marion Butler. He thought that it waa the height of folly for a man like Marion butler to ask any of the white men In tbe state of North . Carolina to make a Joint debate with him, when be bad betrayed the state and bla peo ple. "Let Meeklns or any of the oth ers ask for a Ji-mt debate and there 111 be plenty of men to meet them. but we will not stoop to the evil of meeting Butler, said tbe speaker. Tbe speaker waa introduced by Mr. Charles Scarlett of the Durham bar. bo made a very pleasing speech of introduction. Judge Jonea said .that until tbe last 10 days it bad been 10 years aince be had taken an active part in politics. He said that be did uot Intend to go Into any of the de tails of tbe issuea but would confine himself to the g"nefal theme, he talked to tbe lead ra rather than tbe masses. "The great difference be- wet-n the republlrana and the demo crats In the nation Is on the tariff question" he said. "The republicans believe In a protective tariff and the cmot-rata In af tariff for revenue on ly. Now a ruling of tho supreme court says that a tariff that collects more taxes than are necessary for the economic administration of tbe government la legalized robbery. What and who is protected? Are you protected? Does this law protwt tbe cotton mills? Very little. .The tax Is put on, that one class of citi- tens may reap the benefits of the tax Ing of tbe other clasa. Tbey have put a tariff on the products of tbe "Infant Induatrlca." They have protected the little devil till be is so big that be holds the government In tbo hollow of bla hands. (Applause). The best times that the country baa ever known was a perild of low tariff laws, between HT.O and 1860. "After the war a high tariff waa Im posed In order to pay off the war debt Since that time tbe republicans have made numtxr of tariff hws that have culminated In tbla last Aidrich law. This last tariff has split tho.O O. P. Inlo two great parts, the stand patters snd tbe insurgents. One of these wings is limp and tbe other Is flopping. The result of these protec tive policies Is that 8.O00 people own 1-5 of tbe wealthof this country and not one of these Uvea In North CuroJ Una. , "This protection haa fostered trusts, which are still protected to keep out competitors. Every thing they aell is sold In a protected market The same congress that made this law appointed a commission to look Into ibe high coat of living, and the only thing that this commission has ever reported Is that" tho high cost of living is not caused by tbe tariff law." Judge Jonea next read some statis tics showing the difference In tbe prices during the administration of McKlnley and Cleveland. A compar ison of, the price of cotton In tbe two admiiilstrnllonii showed thai it reach ed It lowest ebb uudtf , McKiuhy. DURHAM, N. C. THURSDAY, OCTOBER 20, 1910 GHOST WILL NOT DOWN MILITANT DEMOCRACY Taft says that the preeent tariff law la the best that has ever been made and the Inconsistency of the party Is abown In the fact that they have ap pointed a tariff commission, costing quarter C a minion dvliare, to In vestigate thia tariff." V The Judge declared that the repub licans explain tbe Maine disaster of September' 12 last by claiming that tbey were for prohibition and tbe emocrata against it. "The questions that they asked," be continued, "were not bow a man stood on prohibition, but bow- he stood on certain matters of protection. They asked why the articles of clothing worn by the poor were made to bear so much heavier burden than those of tha rich and why tho champaigno of tbe rich was so little taxed. They ask ed, do you mean to encoursRo us, to buy champalgue and to discourage the wearing of clothes? was another question that they asked. And for that reason they ovi rthrew that rock ribbed atate of protection which bad not elected a democratic governor in 40 years and which bad not elected a' democratic congressman since 1M0. Thin revolt against sland-pattlem began In Massacbucetta when a repub lican died and bla successor bad to be lcted. The prnk-ccsitor bad been elected by a republican majority of 10.0W, but th republican nominee waa defeated by u,ou0. (Applause). It occurred the eamo way In New York and all over the north and west there has been a chat;go of gentlmetit thiit will make tfce country go democratic this fall, ( Applause.) "The tariff law Is so rotten, that the party has split and the Insurgents stand on one skl and the gtsnd-rat ters on another.

The republican party has driven tbe brains of the party from Us ranks, and It would be a abame for us, w ho have taught the north tbe enof of pro tection, to turn on our teachings and send a atand-patter to congress.

These five were democrats that voted with Cannon on everv count' Judge Jonea devoted the laat half hour of his speech to state Issues and during this time he flayed Butler. He thought that w hile the bonds that had been collected were not reconstruc tion bonds, the collection of them had bem made possible through the mani pulations of Butler. "Any man who 111 do that,. Is tbe same kind of a lawyer who will accept a fee from one client and then call aside the man bom that Client is ngnting ana taae fee from him. Butler waa a senator hen he did that any any man who ould do It la a traitor. And yet he goes about the state challenging men to meet him in Joint debates. Nobody ill stoop to that evil. Let Tom Sot- tie. Holton. Meeklns. or any other republican make th name challenge and thera will be plenty of people to meet them. If I am not big cnougn to do It. there are plenty of others ho are. He said that there were tbreo rea - sons why the voters should pile up a einocratlc majority this year. Onei these waa to keep Butler and bis poll- cies out of atate government. Tbe s'Tond was that a republican ktory would put In Jcpnrdy tho con- stltiiMonul amendment, which took the negro from the stale politics. There are three candidates for tbe supreme court bench on the republican ticket These men were not In favor ot We amendment at tho lime It was passed. If they aet on the bench they will be able lo out vote the other two any may reverse iitf tornirr sevisiuip m - mirt fh-t itiU amendment Was con- .tih.iimiat if this Is done It will be possibln to make tbo people ot this state pay those bonds, which they are not ready to pny. There are over kl-t .,.lltln r ttm.o hnnda and there "" are only two minion in tnta state. You may figure (or yourselves what It would cost. The third reason for voting tbe democratic ticket Is I hat the party had given a good administration. On the other hand every time the republicans have had charge of tbe state govern ment It has caused disorder and con- , i 11 .... ihn n1a nf thing to criticise Into state govern- mt at They charge extravagance, but we have spent money tor things tbey dare not critlclie, schools, Insane asy lums and things of this kind. The latter part of the speech re verted back to national politics. He read extracts from letters and report ed atiiTcbea of republicans showing what the big men thought ol the X..rth farollna republicans. Th vot- era were tirged not to scratch the I Pennsylvania avenue with a learn of ticket. "There mar be some good! four Missouri mules. The prediction m.n the nther ticket but thev were lit ihe wrong.

Secretary MacVeacjh Will Take Up Textile Question Soon HEN MEN INSISTENT President of National Association of Wool Manufacturers in Washing ton Urge That llcgulationa . Which Have Aroused Storm of ProteHt He Gone Into. Washington, Oct. 19. Mr. WIN Ham Whitman, of Boston, president of the National Association of Wool Manufacturers, is in Washington and has called to see Mr. James F. Cur tis, assistant secretary ot the treas i ury, and discussed with him the United States consular regulation af fecting textile importations, which has aroused such a tturui of protest among European tcxtilo manufac turers. Mr. Curtis is encaged In the task of studying the textile question with a view to meeting these ob jections. . , . Mr. Whitman, as a representative of the American textile manufactur ers, told Mr. Curtis that while ha thought the consular regulations of the United States should be strict enough to prevent undervaluations and other customs frauds he was not in favor of hampering tbe foreign manufacturer. , , He called attention to the fact that American textile importations from France and England amount to about 130,000,000 a year; and there fore are entirely too extensive to be lightly treated. He was not In favor, however, of any radical change In the new regulation, but believes tha matter can be satisfactorily adjusted by a better Interpretation of the pres ent requirements with reference io the samplea.- :' .;. Mr. Franklin Macveagh, secretary- of the treasury, will return to Wash . ington about the end of the week. He will take up this question again ith Mr. Curtis and early action la expected. . , : . i ' Mr. Whitman" also called on Mr. Henry C.

During tho hearing before the committees ot the house and senate on tbe Payne- Aidrich hill Mr. Whitman appeared prominently In connection with tha ook'U schedule.
