The DonirKTatio primarieB in the city and county should be
not only fair but above suepicioii. In th aty primsry the
Raleigh Ring aliownd its teeth, ilind you, it is the vwj sajne
Ring, run by the sanio person, who are now running the
Ringtstor caiupaign in Wake oounty. When the citizexns of
Raloigh grow tirod of the partner hip with city ofn'cialg and
oriim, w4iicli oulininatod in Mu)initn and deetruotion of city
reoorde, the Ring oalled a 8nap lMnutry, rofuaod rejreeyrnta
tion to the Mai Meeting ticket at the polls, and betpm the
methods that convinced the people of Raleigh that 4he Ring
would practise fraud in certain ward of the city unleca the
vigilance and determination of the citivguj prevented h. In
the county Piutssry in 1006 nearly a thotwand Repnblicana
were voted by the Ring and one Ring candidate spent over
fifteen thousand dollar of money contribukMi by ruilroad
and truoU' to get the nomination for an office that paid $240. -That
wag the year when the Ring began wholesale fraud and
bribery and made in eome prerineta a Doirtoc ratio psjrauy a

In 1908 the primaries in certain prerineta were believed to
. have Lena fraudulently conducted and prrvfrfrient Democnta
in Raleigh, Wake Forest and certain other townships believe '
that some men were nominated by f rand and bribery, whereas
. by clean methods their opponents would nave received the -certificate
of nomination and now be in office. Thi belief '
that the 1908 county primary was tainted by fraud and
bribery waa t5 strong that the Mass Meeting of citueng. in
Raleigh in March, 1909, did not hesitate to declare that the1
citizens of Raleigh could not get a fair election except by tha
vigorous threat to the Ring of "A1 Fair Election or a Fun
eral." Why do the people believe that certain Eingsters have .
practised fraud and would do U again? Plenty of good Dem '
erata will tell you they believe the same Ring backing the ,'
oounty Ring ticket in 1903 cononittod fraud, in that year, ' '
but there was no law that would "punish them. On the eve ,
of the city election, the same Ring, believed to have commit- ,
ted fraud in the county election' of 1908, waa believed to be
i planning to steal the city election, ln'a ranarkaUe' speech
