Charlotte Observer: Claude Kltohin in Line With | Lumber Circular in 1908 The Stanly Enterprise, February 29, | 1912, says editorially: # ? Governor Kitchin has endeavored to J make capital out of Senator Simmon's position on the lumber tariff, and would further his own candidacy by making it appear that tke Senator is not in line withJiis party upon this question. 'Tia true that in the campaign of 1008 the State (National) - Democratio platform | declared tojr the removal of tariff on lumber. But it ;s likewise true- that, under the* full heat of campaign discus sions, it became neeessary for the Dem ocratic party- to explain its position more fully upon this plank of the plat form, and thia was ?one in a circular sent eut from the State /'Democratic headquarters as an amendment to the Democratic handbook for that year. Tme eireular, of which the^e were 40,000 printed and sent out, explained that the Democratic party stood for the removal of tjie tariff on lumber only upon the condition ihat the tariff upon all machinery which entered into the the manufacture of luml>er should like wise be remeved. About that time Congressman Claude Kitchin, a brother of (ioverner Kitchin, mad? two or more speeches in Stanly county, and some of our most prominent Democrats who heard him, say that he forcibly set forth this explanatory view, and his speeches were, in every respect in hearty accord with the position held by Senator Simmons upon this self same question. As a matter of fair ness to Senator Simmons, and in order that the full truth may be known, it is a matter of right that these facts be come known, since the advocates of the Gfrr^rjior and his brother cite both a? the livin|f^?D{?bodiment of Democratic virtues ami trulths^It would seem to us that Senator SimmonS^wholly ci?n-.| sistent,. and that Congressrni^-l^tfhiu is. "not in harmony with his pressed sentiments of the campaign ex 1:908, for there is no loom for doabting that his speeches in Stanly county in the Campaign of 1908 would fully exon erate Senator Simmons of the charge* now being advanced by, (loveraor Kitchin. __ ~ Thanks .
