Election odds are heavily In; favor
of Taft. At the same point, in the
campaign of 1892, the odds were as
heavily in favor of Harrisoh, who sus
tained a tremendous defeat.
When the votes are counted J. El
wood Cox will find that : he has been
anighty badly fooled by those fellows
who have been talking about being tir
ed of voting for so-called professional
politicians. . ;.
"' The State officials of Tennessee are
doing their full duty; in the night-rider

the jurors will dp. theirs. If ; there
is a miscarriage ; of justice it will lie
at their doors. ',
Don't split your ticket, you Demo
crats of New Hanover. Don't scratch
the names of any of the men your
party has nominated. : To do so is' to
"give a half vote to the Republican
party's nominee
The Republicans are making a hard
fight on Hacbett in, the Eighth con-
. gressional district and on Crawford in
the Tenth; but it will avail nothing:
Our State will have a solid Democra
tic delegation in the next Congress.
Remember today that Bryan is the
candidate of the people against" the
representatives of trusts and monopo
lies which have amassed fabulous for
tunes out of the people through the
Republican high tariff laws. '
The Asheville citizen boasts that
in Buncombe county at this time there
can be seen cotton in the' fields un
touched by frost and. strawberries rip
ening: in the oDen Tairr v Isn't North
Carolina a great State and Buncombe
a great county?
According to the Gazette-News, of
lAsheville, the people of that city are
f looking forward, with pleasure to , the (
vmi. uiiuiutjui oi juttge lait aiter tne
election, "without regard 'to' election
results." With the Republicans": of
that city it will be sort of aconsola
tion affair.
Those men whom the Democrats of
our county., have honored with nomi-,
nations should make -it their'' busi
ness to see that a full vote is polled
today. This is a duty they owe to the
men who nominated them. ' The rar
ty wants more; than a bare majority
and it is their iaityy to help roll-up ;a
big vote. ' . ' .
