Winston-Salem Journal . T Although Attorney General Blckett was speak ing In competition with a circus her last night, the Court house was crowded until standing room waa at a premium, and for nearly two hour th people laughed, wept and applauded through oue of the most convincing and elo quent political speeches heard In Wlnton-Sap?m In a long time. . -- - The addresr was a masterpiecs of logic, wit and eloquence, but, better than that, it was vote-getter. We are confident that Mr. Blckett coming to th county has grently Increased the chances for a record-breaking Democratic ma jority this year; He made no attempt to stir the passion of his hearers. , HI speech through out was an appeal to their reason. He laughed the opposition off the stage to begin with and then proceeded to set forth -at length the vir tues and achievements of the Democratic party. We are sure that there was not a man present who did not go away either a atronger Demo crat or a weaker Republican. However, the most striking feature of the Attorney Oeiieral's address was that portion of it In which he discussed the proposed Consti tutional Amendments. If Mr. Blckett is mak ing the same argument in favor of the amend ment everywhere that he made here last night, then any slight fear for the auceas of theae amendments that we might have had heretofore ta-'nf.w enttreTydlasipated; North Carolinians have never yet defeated any prbposltion In the face of uch a defense. It might as well be said thai the Constitutional Amendment of 1900 wes in danger of defeat after the people heard Ay- cock, aa to aay that the tax amendment to the Htate Constitution will be defeated after the peopl hear Beckett. Other speakers may be Ignoring th amend ments or passing them by with Blight notice or damning them with . faint praise, like. the cam. .ialgner in Mecklenburg, whom the Charlotte observer told about the ether day. But this cannot be aald of Blckett He la one cam paigner -who has hi heart In, thjs amendment fight and he (.truck a powerful blow for them here last night. . All honor to the Attorney General for taking a bald stand or the people. By hts speech here last night he Increase hi popularity with the i ltt-ien of Wltiaton-Salem, although he waa al ready the moat popular speaker, perhaps, that visits thla city. i, i j A WARNING TO STATE FAIR SPEED FIENDS.
