NUMBER 60 DEMOCRATIC RALLY SAT- URDAY A BIG SUCCESS I GQV. STUART PLEASES Virginia Executive Delivered Great Political Speech in Lumberton Sat- i DMinrht in Minna of Man? the Days 01 Vance Party Leaders Well Pleased With Success 01 uay -,v Saturday was indeed a red-letter tiay for the many who gathered in Lumberton for the Democratic rally. It was a day that will be long re membered by many a day that meant much to the Democratic party in Robeson county. It was a rare treat for those who heard the bril liant address of Governor Henry Carter Stuart of Virginia in which the told in glowing terms of the great achievements of the Democratic Ad ministration during the time it has been at the head of this great Re public. It was a political feast; and fortunate was Robeson county in se curing so distinguished a man as Governor Stuart as the speaker. It has been many, many years since the people of this section had an op portunity of hearing so great a po litical address. As one man remark ed, "it was a vote getter". He told of the important constructive legis lation that has been enaced under the leadership of President Wilson by the Democratic party. Many old veterans lemarked that it was the greatest Dolitical address they had heard since 4h famous Vance-Settle campaign. The number , of visitors was esti mated at from 2,000 to 3,000. Party leaders were well Pjeased with the success of the day. By the . time the folks began to come in j dur ing the early morning one could see that the "spirit" was m evidence. The town was most tastefully decorated :-In holiday attire and the patriotic feeling was abroad. A speakers stand had been erected on Chestnut street ivEt beyond the court house square. Around the stand were placed a num ber of teats for the convenience of the crowd; The ! stand was draped in red, white and blue and on the front was a large sign on which was writ ten in large letters Safety First Means Democracy First' Above this sign was a large goJgle entwined in the stars and stripes . Never was a speaker's stand more tastefully decorated for a similar oc casion in Lumberton and never before SSX. town more beautifully decorat d The .decoration of the streets was under the direction of Mesdames J. A. Sharpe and D. D.French and Mr. J. P. Newman, while Mrs. 'O? Sharpe, Miss Irene McLeod and Mr Newman decorated the speakers - StThe' parade, in which quite a num- he- ro mufes and horses started from the graded school building at 10:30 o'clock a. m. and -. proceeded lown Seventh street to C hestnut and down Chestnut to Second, thence across to Elm and np Elm to the court house. The parade was head ed by the East Lumberton band, which furnished splendid music for the oc- casion. . . , ' t IMore the speaWg begai Re' E. Moorehouse, pastor of the ic-cal ? Presbyterian church, offered rr:JyLr; Mf. S. Mclntyre then introduced Mi. A W. McLean who in a m t lu ting manner introduced .the speak er of the day. In his introduction Mr McLean declared that Governor Stuart came from a most disting uishes family, of which many of the nudiee had read. He spoke of him as one of the noblest public men of Se nation. Mr. McLean paid glow ine tribute to the memory of the im mortal General J, E. B. Stuart the famous Civil War cavalry leader, who was an uncle of Gov. Stuart. Gen. StmX the Pker (declared was the right-hand man of Gen.Lee.H.s tri bute to Gen. Stuart brought hearty applause, especially fromthe vete rans in the audience who had known him during those bloody days With all this the speaker said that Gov ernor Stuart was not depending up on his ancestors, noble as they were, fcr his fame. He declared he was the most beloved Governor Virgin a ever had and that he was responsible for much great and P" leg islation being enacted m that State. Besides being Governor of Virgma, the speaker said he was a big farm er that he not only owned the largest farm in his home State but that ho owned the largest cattle ranch cast of the Mississippi, river. Gov ernor Stuart, he continued, owns 57000 acres of land, 30,000 of which are in blue grass, upon which are pa''r e 5,000 head of short-horn cat tle and other stock in comparison. Mr. McLean said that to show how the people of Virginia regarded their Governor they nominated him in a Democratic primary without opposi tion and then elected him without the Republicans putting out a man against him. . ' Mai. W. A. Graham, State Com missioner of Agriculture, welcomed Governor Stuart to the State on be half of Gov. Craig, who was unable to get here. Maj. Graham 'was sent by Governor Craig to extend a warm welcome to Governor Stuart. In his remarks Maj. Graham took occasion v- to say something about the condi tions of the State agriculturally. He declared that the people of North Carolina have much to congratulate themselves upon, especially the con ditions brought by the Democratic Administration. He declared that North Carolina was coming to the front along agricultural lines. While this has been a bad year for growing crops he declared that the farmers of North Carolina as a whole are to day in the best fix they have ever been in. He said that farm products grown in this State in the year 1915 were worth $00,000,000 more than those grown in the year 1910. He urged the farmers to use brain as well as muscle in farming. When he rose to his feet amid applause Governor Stuart asked that a flag which was between him and some of his hearers be removed, re marking that he did not want even the flag of his country between him and a North Carolina audience. He declared that he was glad to-be here. Virginian's and North Carolinian's, he said, feel very close to each other. They are bound by the ties of neigh bors, the ties of blood, aspiration, sacrifice and common suffering. They stood shoulder to shoulder in the Civil War. They have kept the faith up to this glad hour, a prosperous and united people. Getting down to politics, the speak er declared that the time once was when he wanted to make a Demo cratic speech he did not know what to say,- but now since the Democratic party has been in power four years he did not know what not to say. Ke cedared that now he could point w.th pride to the great accomplish ments of the Democratic party and that he was willing to sing on it. He said when he started to mention the Republican party that he almost spoke of it in the past tense. The speaker asked where the Republican party came from and in answer to his question declared it came riding on a proud wave of war destruction and soon became consolidated with the interests and money bosses of the country, that the legislation it en acted was not for the good of the masses, but rather for the good of special interests of the country. The laws enacted'by the Republican party were so much in favor of the inter ests of the country that they soon be came more powerful than the peo ple. The Republican party became so rotten no other word to use that it piled a record of iniquities upon it so high that in the year 1912 they killed it. Here the speaker addressed his hearers as fellow Democrats and re marked that he could look at them and tell they were Democrats and those that were not were at the mourner's bench. What claims have the Republican party on the people the speaker asked. , They claimed to feed the people on a protective tariff, gold standard and many other good things only Republicans could give and the worst of it, they actually made the people believe what they said for a long time. They declared that if they would give the Democratic party rope enough it would hang itself. Has this proven true? ' ; Republican Panics Speaking of panics, Governor Stuart declared that the only thing the Democratic party ever inherited from the Republican party was panics, that every panic known in the United States was a Republican panic. He continued, President Wilson has well said that under Republican rule the country has staggered from panic to panic. The remedy for all this was found at last, however, and that rem edy was the Democratic party, which has rendered the country" immune from panics. The Mexican Question What happened when Woodrow Wilson was elected President? Mr. Wilson who inherited the Mexican trouble from the Republican party. The trouble with Mexico was begun while Taft was President. Taf t left it for Wilson to solve the problem. The Hexicans are bad neighbors, but Wilson has dealt with them as he would have been dealt with as a great nation should deal with a weak nation. He, however, has given them to understand how far to go. To illustrate this the speaker told of an old Methodist circuit rider in the days when the preacher had to be both preacher and policeman. On one oc casion when bad younp men disturbed the service, after words failed to stop them he came down out of the pulpit, pulled off his coat, rolled up his sleeves and told them that if he could not preach Christ into them he could knock hell out of them. Some Republicans criticise" Wilson for his Mexican policy. Why, just think of sacrificing the young manhood of our great count just because a few Mexican property owners want Uncle Sam to protect their ill-gotten prop erty rights. This property was bought in a revolutionary country and most of it at revolutionary prices, if bought at all. Many of the property owners got it by concession. Ask the same Republican who criticised Wilson what he would have done and he cannot answer you . He only says he would not have done what Wil son did. He might not have done what Wilson did, but he would have caused war. Theodore Roosevelt had much to say about Wilson's attitureto ward Germany and declared be was ready to fight, but when it looked like we had to fight Mexico and men were called for Roosevelt could not be found. What were the results of Wilson's foreign policy? Thev were peace with honor. Woodrow -Wilson loved the people of his country more than he loved power. Hughes Can't Find an Issue The speaker declared that Hughes was a good fellow, but could not find an, issue. He said he was actually surprised that Hughes allowed him self to be put up bv the Republican party, knowing Wilson's record. He said that Hughes reminded him of a woodpecker running up and down a tree trying to find a soft place to peck, but . so far had (not found (Continued on page 4) GRADED SCHOOL j OPENS TOMORROW I Children Should Carry Their Old Books Tomorrow The Lumberton Graded School will open tomorrow morning at 9 o'clock.
