WORKING THE ELKCTORATK.
That the Republicans propose to
muddy the waters and bm-luud the iasues
n the forthcoming national campaign ia
hardly to be doubted, for that is the
usual program of tbe Republicans. On
one point at least they have shown that
hey propose to hand out n lot of hot
air josh to the electorate concerning the
matter of prcpuredness.
At the meeting of the Republican Na
lonnl l ommittee a few days ago in
Washiugtou there was talk about the
program of prcpuredness. Concerning
tlm pin in of the ficpuMicans for nink
i)g aoxaults on the Wilson adininiatra
ion on this issue a report of the meet
US had this: "One of the points of at
tack will be that the Democratic party
In Congress haa not stood for an ail
quale plan of preparedness until events
across the Atlantic forced them to
hange their position."
If the Republicans enter upon such a
rograra as that it will he the same old
state of affairs as the thief who is seek
u g to escape shouts "Stop Thief" so as
to delude the people a ho might try to
get him. Count the loug line of years
in which the Republicans were in con
rol of the government, and see how
much of preparedness was in their ac
ions. Why even our merchant ninrine
went smash under continued Repobli
can administrations.
All the Republicans are after ia to
catch suckers in any old way poaaihle,
nd thry will hand out bunco stuff
straight along as bait. Rut sensibfe

I so find that the Democratic plans of
preparedness are such that sane and
sensible people will agree with them.
As always the Republicans are on the
lookout for thing to say that will sound
good to the ear aad amount to nothing.
Rut the people are able to see through
their game. '

glad to testify, however, that they ar

though fearfully misinformed la this

to propound a little problem 1 If it took

At th tlm this protest against my
Interview was given to the News and
Ubserrar there were four or five other
prominent Democrats from this district
In Raleigh. Hon. Walter E. Moore, of

for Daughtridge or Bickett, these mea
ar reasonable and level-headed, and
they doubtless could not see their way

absurd claims aa characterised the in

the other.
If the New and Observer would give
m the BMOsaary apace I could publish
plenty of concrete evidence to show
that Mr. Daughtridge ia strong in this
section. But for ths present I will
merely suggest a line of thought that
should convince any fair minded man
that Mr. TBickett will not carry every
countv in ths tenth district br a "iier-
feetly overwhelming majority" aal

from a remote eastern country, Mr.
Daughtridge stood by Mr. Craig in that
fight, A is well known to all, Mr.
Bickett was against Mr. Craig and the
western people, and did his best to
nominate another candidate. Mr.
Dnugbtridga was a member of the Gen
eral Assembly in liHKl when Governor
Craig was a candidate for the T'nited
States Ben ate, and voted for Craig on
every ballot to the very end of the con
test. Our people may have their faults
but they are not overburdened with in
grntitud. To say that practically
every Democrat in this section will de
beiately turn hi brick on a mail who
ias always been their friend, and sup
port one who never knew them nor cared
for them until he became a candidate
for public ollicc is roiuk it a little ton
strong. Kceent politii-nl historv won't
justify tbe assumption. Let us see. In

Whyf Principally bernuse Judge Allen
