' " -. .. '. -WAKE COUNTY FOR DEMOCRACY. Simple minded indeed Is that Dem ocrat who Is at all in a state of doubt as to the result In "Wake , county in the forthcoming election. " . ; -V- ' The county is going Democratic by one of its old fashioned majorities, for the - voters ' recognize that with De mocracy, in power there Is honest and good government, and attention to the interests of the county placed 'in the hands of the Democratic officials. They are not going : to be swept " into Re publicanism by the windy declarations of the Republicans. ; " - ' f That party In Wake is making much noise "Just now, and its members, es pecially the few self -labelled "recruits ftfho have gotten nominations are talk ing muchly about how "we are going to carry the county" and are endeavor ing to stir up dissatisfaction among the Democracy so as to cause differ ences whlcli will ; swing them into office. It fa merely a dream in which they-, are indulging,' and the facts in the way of votes In; November, will again bury?, the Wake county contin gent of that humbug of a party that it) for "grah,- greed and graft" as one of it sown members says and whose members are unfit to hold Federal positions as set out by Its Presidential nominee Taft T ; Knowing that they really have no show of carrying the election the Re publicans have been trying to dicker bo as to get Democrats whom they think are disgruntled, to come out as independent candidates so that the Re publicans might take down their own nominees and try the , sneak act to get into power. But the scheme has not worked for men of such standing ih tne Democratic party as to be voted for! In primary elections are not going to be used as cats-paws by the Repub licans. Their Democracy Is not of the tainted kind and they are going to tand true to the party. ' The Republican campaign in Wake county Is being run on brag 'bluster, and much windy talk which has to solidity behind it. The purpose . of that party Is to deceive . voters in one section so.asjto make them think that there Is dissatisfaction and a loss, of Democratic' votes In some other sec tion, but talk of this kind should de ceive no" one. ' It is the old trick of the-Republicans and It will prove Just .as futllea one this 'year as in past yearf. The Democracy of Wake Is standing together, and In November it will roll up a majority that will make the nominees , of the ; Doodler Party sorry-that they ever showed up,t be cause: their defeat will be an over whelming one. The Republican party "talks 'mit del ltonntft ' tiiir oMt mil' ila rvnafs " A I' mw a, a uow. e - Oh. that mine enemy might have a check? book.;" and .'the Republicans learn of it!! '." " - v v f Drop a hint that you are "worth $250,000 and get a Republican nomi jrat.ion for Congress. ' "Just let the Radicals know you've got a check book and they wilt nomi nate you for 'an? old thing you want "Let the people rule," Is the slogan of the Democracy. "Let the railroads da . as they please." ,1s 'the motto , of J. Elwood Cox, Republican nominee fir jovirnor. . ; THE BAMBOOZLE OF THE DOL- ; -. ' v' 'r. ;' -LARS.--' -. ,v The Republican party-In North Car olina is hot after the chase of the dol lar mark, and It has not. even found it necessary to wait to get its cue from the Republican National Executive Committee, Hitchcock, chairman. , It Is singular how this dollar mark enchanbi the Republicans, big and lit tle, National and State. For a Jong series of years the Republicans have found a fertile boodle field ' In the strong boxes of the corporations, trusts nd predatory rich, and they have not failed to exploit, these. This year, with some kind of a law against corpora tion contributions to campaign funds, and a half-hearted extortioned prom ise of publicity after the election, the Republican National committee is as hot after corporations and trusts as ever, and is trying, for tt by the back door sneak method of letters to the corporations. In which the Individual members are asked and urged to con tribute. ' . ' : -, '. This Is. of course, "beating the. devil around the stump," but what care the Republicans for consistency, just so they get the money. Here Is how that party stands: The Republican National convention refuses to put In any plank promising publicity of campaign con tributions and no contributions from corporations; Candidate Taft comes along and says that he is in favor of publicity, under the New York law, after the election and that as National campaign headquarters . are In New York the law will be obeyed, while at once the . campaign headquarters are transferred to Chicago, and Illinois has no campaign pubMclty law; the Re publican Congressional committee, ruled "by Uncle Joe Cannon, says in plain words that "campaign publicity" is f ol-de-rol , and that they will have none of It. but will Ignore the whole business. Getting money as it can. and "Smooth Jim" Sherman's trust friends. will "come across" to the Re publican Congressional committee that is for standing pat on the tariff, that committee will see to It that the voters do not know where the money conies from or how it is spent. , In North Carolina the Radical com mittee stands hat in hand, begging for crumbs from the: National committee, and putting up as 1 candidates rich men whose leg$ are to be pulled. There is J. Elwood Cox; Republican nominee for Governor, who has heretofore not even taken enough Interest In his par ty's candidates to vote for them, who is put up by the Republicans so that it may essay the role of being ."re spectable" and get the use of his check book. . It Is certain that If .Mr. Cox wV without . the ; money he would never have received . the nomination, and here goes the Republican party pell mell, devil catch the 'hindmost, after the money that is" to be had out of J. Elwood Cox.? of the Fifth district. . . And on top of. this comes the nomi nation of another-rich-manufacturer of the Fifth district as the selection of the Republican as tlelr choice for Congress, the man selected never hav ing affiliated ' with the Republicans, but being classed as a "Gold Demo crat" At Greensboro the Republicans lomlnated ' for Congress Mr. John M. Morehead, president of, the Leaksvllle Woolen Mills of Spray, who, while known as a gold Democrat, never took part ,n politics. He was an unknown man to the Republicans assembled at Greensboro, and In order to get them to turn their backs on Republicans of years' standing they were told, when they 'asked "Who is this man More head "anyway?" that "Why Morehead is a man worth $250,000." That settled It for, the Republicans, for as soon as a fat purse was dangled before their eyes they were' after It at a lively pace. With thie cash of Cox and the cash of Morehead pickings for the Radicals will be a feast In the Fifth district this year. So here Is emphasized the bamboozle of the dollar mark with . the Republi cans. They are' the friends and allies of trusts and corporations because there Is money to be had out of them. They nominate every rich man possi ble so as to have a picnic of leg pull ing. Jingle the dollars In th fars of the Radical party and It will desert all principles to chase after it. Money they worship and Idolize, for with it they aim to buy ' Into, power, thinking thaOin the nation In this year 1908 they can repeat the debauchery of the electorate as In the past. The signs are that In this they will be mistaken, and as for North Carolina, why they may nominate all the rich men they can find willing, and bring in all the money they can get from the Republi can National committee, but the Stab? will stand firm for Democracy. Bam boozle as they will with the dollars, the . Republicans can not carry the State, Kitchln will defeat Cox for Gov ernor and Aubrey L. Brooks .will de feat John' M; Morehead for. Congre in the Fifth district each of these' by majorities which will be big ones. ' I STATE DEMOCRATIC HANDBOOK READY. The North Carolina, Democratic Handbook was issued yesterday by the State Democratic Executive Com mittee, and It is book which will prove of great value not alone- to Democratic speakers, editors and vot ers, but to everyone .

IE SUBSIDIZEDiEMS MLL JOT SUPPORT GDI . . - The following letter from Editor Hildebrand, of the Subsidized News, gives to the public the reasons why with Editor Hilderbrand in charge -the Subsi dized News can not support J. Elwood Cox for Govern norr i - V ' HERE IS THE LETTER. , Greensboro, N. C. July. 22, 1908. Mr. C A. Reynolds, Winston, N. C. 1 Dear Sir :- Upon my return here after spendinc Sunday in Asbeville, I found a letter from you suggest ing the wisdom of nominating J. Elwood Cox for Gov ernor. It is very rare in fact, it has bsen only once or twice in my whole life, I believe, that I have allow ed my personal feelings to enter Into my newspaper worlfc In this instance I have found it to be mentally impossible to lay aside my prejudice against J. Elwood Cox. If either you or any other stocilholder should in sist upon the publication cf a letter urging his nomi nation, I suppose I would print it, but if heed should be given to the advice and he should be nominated, some body else would have to write the editorials support ing him. - .- y . . . . When I came to Greensboro it was not the under standing that the duty of financing this business, which I found in horrible shape should devolve upon me. I have, however, done a good part of this worK, thus relieving the stockholders and directors. Shortly after I came here I was toil that J. Elwood Cox would help us as he has frequently promised to do so. I made a trip to High Point and he told me that he would 4ive us one hundred dollars for stoclL This.was about the tenth of December. He said if I would draw on him on the 15th he would honor the draft, but that if I could wait until the first of the year he would appre ciate it His relative, Snow, also promised to help us out on the first of the year. I went to High Point again about the second or third of January and was aston ished, upon wallling into he banll owned by pox, to be told by him that he did cot have time to tall! to m?. As he returned to his private office I remarlled I was. not after an audience but after a checlL but he1 made no audible reply. He Knew that f I got near hm he could not decently get around Heepng that promse so he indecently closed th door in my face, and after cooing my besls on the ounde of the banll for an hour or so I carjoht the first train baclt to Greensboro. Cox had brollen both his enganement and his promise, couched in terms as definit? as the English language could nraHe it When he broVo that promise, and I got my snubbing, I was not wording in my own interest,: but in the interest of the onlv Republican daily paper published in this State, and I do not mind in putting it in blacll and white that if Elwood Cox should be nominated for Governor I would vote for Hitchin. for whereas, I have always ref unded Hitchin ai a f?n deal of an anarchist, I have? always found him to be a " gentleman in his relations with his feljowxfian. : Cox told mo he was net aslring any favors of the ' Republican party. bu he lird about that because he dot his nephew appointed postmaster of High Point wh?n every Republican in the Stte Rnows that the office should have gone to V. F. Pagan. Cox got this aoooint ment through false pretenses. He led the Republican leaders to believe that with his money he expected to aid the party and this pat er. But whether or not hs has in the past aOfprt favn5 of the party he is hot after some favors right now- anrl I rropos to naKe it my chief ettf I" life to see that he dees not get them.
