' .' , - , . GREAT DAY FOR DEMOCRACY. Democratic Candidate for Vice-President Speaks at Battle Ground and Greensboro. Address by ,Col. J. Hamilton Lewis. Yesterday was militant Democracy's day, at Guilford Battle Ground, many people from Guilford and surrounding counties gathering on this historic spot to hear speeches by Hon. John Worth Kern, the Democratic candi date for Vice-President; Hon. A; L. Brooks, the nominee for Congress in the Fifth district, anfl Governor Glenn. The. speakers made strong statements for, the cause of Democracy and each received an attentive hearing. Gov ernor Glenn had no more appreciative listener than his aged mother, who drove out from her home in this city to cheer her devoted son by her pres ence. V Maj. Charles M. Stedman was the presiding officer of the meeting and introduced the first speaker of the day. Mr. Brooks, in one of the pret tiest speeches heard hereabouts in v a long while. Mr. Brooks began speak ing about 11 o'clock and held the un divided .attention of the crowd for about an hour. He discussed the .is sues of the campaign in a dispassion ate and interesting manner, paying special attention to the tariff, the guaranty of bank deposits and the publicity of campaign contributions. The speaker declared that Mr. Taft has been frightened away from the Republican platform, as shown by his utterances since he was nominated at the behest of President Roosevelt, and asserted that it is Impossible now to get a Republican to say the plat form of his party as written is all right. Mr. Brooks referred to President Roosevelt's action in "rushing into the, campaign in an unseemly debate and an unrighteous wordy war", and con trasted the position of the two candi dates for president Taft, the creature of Roosevelt, and Bryan, who is ex alted by the American people. In closing his address Mr. Brooks referred to the charges and rumors that have been circulated against him by his political enemies, declaring that his record is open to the world. He said: "I challenge any man to meet me in joint, debate or to say over his signature that I have ever been false to any obligation. In vain have I lived if a sneak or an assassin is to be allowed " to destroy my reputation and . character." This utterance brought forth what was probably the most enthusiastic applause of the day. - Governor Glenn Speaks. Mr. Brooks closed his speech by In troducing Governor Glenn, who enter tained the crowd until Mr. Kern ar rived and dinner was announced. The governor took for his text the Bibli cal words, "By their fruits ye shall know them," and started out by say ir.j; tuat it was not his purpose to atusr or misrepresent anyone. He said he believed Taft to be an honest man of medium ability, but he is too much of a "me 'too' kind of man to suit the great body of the American people. 'Wr. Taft stands too near the mon opolies and too far from the masses of the people," said the governor. "We want for president a man whose heart goes out to the masses of the people and who will not respond to the die tator. of any class." Govoiior GUnn declared that Bry an is the ebual of Calhoun and Web ster as a statesman and superior to Patrick Henry and Henry Clay as an orator. While twice defeated for election as president, he has returned Democracy's banner unsullied and to day is stronger with the people than ever before. Mr. Kern's Fine Speech. Mr. Kern and his party arrived in Greensboro shortly before 1 o'clock, and were carried to the Battle Ground by automobile, arriving a few minutes before the crowd was invited to par take of the free barbecue provided by the con mittee. t Mr. Kern began his speech about 2:30 o'clock, after a most appropriate introduction by Col. John A. Barring ger, Democratic nominee for the state senate. The candidate for vice-president caught the attention of the crowd by' if casing the fact that, m the days of reconstruction, when the heel of the oppressor was upon the necks of the Southern people, there was a man from Indiana in theTmited States Sen ate Thomas A. Hendricks :who nev er failed to raise his voice in behalf of the rights of the people of the fc-outh. Later, when the South was threatened with the force bill, Voor Lejs lifted up his voice to stay the hand of the Republican administra tion. Mr. Kern declared his creed of De mocracy in this language: "I am a Democrat because I believe the eter nal principles laid down by Jefferson and re-declared by the Democratic national convention in Denver are es sential to the welfare of the Ameri can people. If these principles were essential in Jefferson's time, they are a thousand times more so today." . . After explaining the systems of tax ation in vogue in this country, -"Mr. Kern entered into an exhaustive dis cussion of the tariff. He called at tention to the fact that the tariff tax today is nearly twice what It was dur ing the civil war and explained hew the tariff has destroyed domestic com petition and placed the American peo ple at the mercy of the trusts. He followed this with illustrations ot what has been done by the steel trust, the sugar trust, the meat trust, the Standard Oil. Company and other gi gantic combinations of capital. The speaker made a local applica- j tion by saying mat tnere is no more appropriate place 'v to engage In a dis cussion of the rights and liberties of the people than the battlefield of Guil ford court house. "He made a happy hit. In referring to the coterie in Con gress that has thwarted the will of the people, by saying: "Then there is Uncle Joe dear old benevolent Un cle Joe but all of you know him." There were relatives and old-time ac quaintances of the speaker of the house in the audience. ; In closing his speech Mr. Kern de clared with' great and effective elo quence: "It is not a matter of conse quence whether I am elected or not, but it is of . consequence to. you that this government be restored to the people and that the rule of plutocracy cease. We have a man as a leader on our side God bless him William Jennings Bryan." In the Auditorium Last Night. Mr. Kern poke again last night to a crowd of 5,000 or 6,000 people in the new auditorium, making an eloquent and. effective plea for Democracy. MrR. R. King called the meeting, to order and presented Governor Glenn as the presiding officer. Governor Glenn presented Maj. Cnarles M. Sted man, who introduced the candidate for vice president. Mr. Kern was greeted Sith a most enthusiastic demonstra ,on, the applause continuing for sev eral minutes. His speech was along the line of his argument at the Battle Gr6und in the afternoon, special atten tion being paid to the tariff and the trusts. When Mr. Kern had concluded, Hon. A. L. Brooks Introduced Hon. J. Ham ilton lgwis, of Chicago, a former mem ber of Congress - from the state of Washington. Mr. Lewis is one of the most eloquent speakers in the coun try, and he fully sustained his repu tation for oratory in a masterly ad dress on the great issues before the people at the present time. The speaker assailed the Republi can position on the tariff and trusts and took a fall out of President Roose velt and candidate Taft. Messrs. Kern and Lewis left the city this morning for Winston-Salem, where they speak this afternoon. They were accompanied by a big delegation of Winston-Salem Democrats and quite a number of people from Greens boro. STOKESDALE HERE IN FORCE. Want Road Macadamized From Sum merfield to Rockingham Line. A big delegation of citizens from the Stokesdale section, numbering over S0 men, appeared before a joint meeting of the county commissioners and the highway commission Monday and requested that the public road between Summerfield and Stokesdale be macadamized instead of the road leading from Summerfield to Oak Ridge. The delegation requested that the road be run from Summerfield to the Rockingham county line by the J. L. Ogburn place and reaching the Flat Rock section of southwest Rock ingham. It was pointed out that this is the finest tobacco section tributary to Greensboro and the proiiosed road would be of great benefit to the lo cal tobacco market and the city of Greensboro generally. The plan was advocated earnestly in speeches by Dr. C. W. Taylor, Dr. B. T. Bitting and Messrs. J. M. Mc Michal and J. R.Dwiggins, repre senting the Stokesdale community. Maj. Charles M. Stedman and Messrs. F. B. Ricks, O. J. Denny, R. W. Harri son and C. A. Bray, spoke, for Greens boro, including the Chamber of Com merce, the Retail Merchants' Asso ciation and the Tobacco Board of Trade. After hearing the matter discussed the joint meeting called a meeting for Monday, October 26th, when all part ies interested are invited to be pres ent. The meeting will be attended by another big delegation from Stokesdale, and it is understood that several Rockingham farmers will be present also. It is presumed that Oak Ridge will be well represented. AN EXPLANATION. We had fully intended having a dis play of goods at the Central Carolina Fair, which comes off next week, and has so announced in a recent issue of the Patriot, but have, been forced to give it tip for this year. We have siniDlv been overwhelmed with busi ness for the last two or three weeks, and most of the articles we had in tended showing at the' fair have been sold, and it will not be possible to get new goods here in time to get up the exhibit. Besides this, we are so busy in the store every minute that we could not possibly spare time to ar range a creditable display. While we hate to eive it. uD. we are certainly gratified and agreeably surprised at the splendid turn for the better in trade. Our September business was decidedly the best we have ever had, and it looks as if October sales will be better still. When you cjome to the Centennial drop in and look at our new goods and see how busy we are. THACKER & BKUU1SJV1AINIM. NOTICE.
