BETWEEN THE TWO CONGRES

Congressman OB. . W. JPou and
Mr. Willis $riggs Discussed
the Issues in Louisburg Last
Saturday: ;. ; x;"-; :
important matter is equally as bad ""H p!p,rrrTT p ! 5,"?',.'
as anontright avowal of his Bvmpa- ".ill I U....
thy with ' such laws- He brought
out that old: story which has been HIS CONCEPTION OF OFFICE 0?
Saturday, Oc3rd being Hon. E.
V. Pou's appointment . to speak at
Loaisburg and italso being the date
of the Republican ; County Conven f
tion, which Mr. . Willis ,G.' Briggs
. Republican Candidate for .Congress
had bjen asked to address, Mr. J.
A. ThomasChairman "of. the-Demo-cratic
County Executive-Committee,
asked Mr. R. R Harris for: a division
of time on the part of Mr.;. Pou with
Mr. Briggs After consultation Mr.
Brings consented,-provided he be
allowed to name tne terras ot tne ae
bate, refusing to abide by a .'toss up
to see which should lead 1 off. , It
was decided that ,Mr; ;Pon. should
lead off in an ,hpurY speech to; be
followed by Mr. Briggs in I-a a syeech
of the same ' length, and-each ,to
have a ten minute rejoinder. Prompt
ly at 2 o'clock . the crowd gathered
at the Opera. House. J.Mr. ,Pou 1 who
was introduced by; Mr. R.-B, White
opened the debated in v an excellent
address. 1 He began Jby referring ": to
the long friendship existing between
hissopponent and -himself. '.and : act
knowledged his; obligations to i ;Mrs
Briggs for his valuable assistance to
him in former campaigns' when: A
Briggs was a reporter toraDemo,
cratic daily. - The speech, was-i igni-
jJed, entirely free1 frome personalities!
and abuse and m every? way vworthy
of a representative in . theVAmerican
Congress; jMr. ou";, touched upon
the tariff, the trusts and the; money
power and said the republicah " party
was owned body "and soul - by these
great enemies of ' the peopWIr,
Pou in urging" the election of Demo
cratic representatives r-to Congress,'
mentioned the threat of therepub-,
licans to reduce southeraTepresenta-
tion in rCongress bjj. gassing thfe
urarapacKer diij, in reiauauon ' upon
the South for; disfranchising ; igno
rant negro voters J-LchaIlengeyqu
ra young friend" said -MrPbn,1 "to
tell these people in case the ' ifnir
aculous should happen f; and :;yon
should . be "elected to. Congress, how
you would vote on this . infamous
bill.,' He urged ; the great .necessity
also of electing democratic' represen
tatives to the Legislature, for ;if the
republicans v should by .. any means
get charge of the election machinery
there would-be thousands of negroes'
to get their names - on .the registra
tion books, r"! would , gladly give
np my seat in ' Congress today" j said
Mr. Pon, "if Jt-.were necessary-to
preserve " the supremacy; of the
white race and our anglo-saxon " civ
Uization." . ' This patriotic f deolara
tion was', received with' deaf suing
oheera. Mr. Pou mentioned a number
of instances in which, he had endeav
ored to secure ' reforms of j existing
evils but in every instance they ' had
been put' to sleep by, the repnblicah
majority.''1 ; Every reference to the
name of William J. Bryan met.with
great applause and Mr. Pou" brought
enco wragin news as to :u the grbgress
oi the .national' camnaizn. His
Bpeech was chock full of good "old
fashioned , democratic doctrine and
was of great good Mr Briggs fol-
lowed, in a speech of the; same length.
His speech was the usual , republican
argument; meeting 1 with applause"
from the republicans present, 'who ,
; . .applauded at? the pauses, whether
appropriate or not.' They were there
to do the applauding - act and thev
' did it s: He was silent - as Jthe tomb
;,as to "whether if -elected he would
vo e for;' ,the Crumpaeker Ajbill. He
;knew very , well if he favpred sacb a
: that the white men; of Franklin
V' .lnty:you1?''- hury him under an
U- avalanche ot ballots, . and they will
rwu: wni. anyway, as eilenca on thu
tnorougnly exploded that W, J.
Bryan fed negroes at his home, in
Lincoln in his front yard." Mr. Pou
told him that his- master, -Theodore
Ropseyelt, invitetl and dined at the
same table , with " Booker . Washing
ton and thai Mr Taft . while on a
trip in the South, some time ago as
ATTORNEY GENERAL.
