The ' extent to which profiteering
r revelled during tao war, and especially

" With Tender Memories f

High Point, Sept. lt A'large crowd
greeted Hoa Cameron Morrkton tkt
evening, Demoeratte candidate for gov
ernor, at the auditorium. Mr. Morrison
was f his bee aad electrified 'his audi
ence. He la a great believer in tbe
League of Nations, a devout friend of
Wilson aad kaa aot muck sympathy for
tko Democrat wko ia afraid wkca it
comce te exposing the record of the Re
publican party la this State. . - -
Mr. Morrison aaid among other things
that the 4pabUcane of North Carolina
and a few gentle Democrats demanded
that the people of this State should cease
to study the history of this Bute, ia
order that they might aot know' the
record of the Bepublicea party at writ
tea ia this Stete'e history. It arouses
their great disgust for a Democrat to
evea mention the bad government which
the KepuUiean party gave this State
when in power. v
"I think wc kavc a right to - license
the record of the Republican party ia
this State without being offensive, even
to the Republicans," said Mr. Morrison,
"mack less to their tender friends who
claim to be Democrats, bat tonight I
am aot going to disease the record of
cither party in the State, but I simply
desire to assert to ith utmost that a
study of the Word of the Republican
party will ahow that it never did do
anything for good government in this
8tate and it. ia tanning this campaign
by resorting to misrepresentation rather
than by chowing sny thing construetivs
they ever did. For twenty ysarc wc
have kad the beat State government, all

Joyed anywhere on tko earth aad accord'
lag to reports of the V. eV government
at less coat per capita than the State
government has eost the people in. any

Reviews Democratic Record.
Mr. Morrison said he would not speak
at length oa the Republicans la this
State, aot that he feared those who com
manded that our history should be
stopped ia the State, but that be par
ticularly desired en this occasion te dis
cuss ine revaluation act aad the new
system of taxation to which the Dcm
oesauc party was working and the
League of Nations.
ue stated that the revaluation act
waa not the new system named after
the Democratic party bat simply a part
ef the great program aad that the cams
Ueneral Assembly that passed the re
valuation act also passed aad submitted
te the people a change ia the eonsti
tutioa of the State relating to the
power of the stats te levy aa income
tax, that this amendment waa endorsed
by the Democratic State convention
nd tho special cession of the General
Assembly amended the eonititutioa by
reducing the maximum tax which could
be levied oa the 1100 valuation from
H 14 te 111 cents except by a vote of
the people, that it was the purpose ot
the Democratic party aot to levy any
property tan for State purposes here
after, that it levied aow only for school
purposes, which went back to the eouaty,
tkat the new system named after the
Iamoeratic party would obtain the tax
te ran the State- government through
license tax, franchises, Inheritances aad
fiom many other special sources now
taxed and when . necessary a small
income tax of the acme sixes new paid
i y in paysiciane, ministers oi ue goo
eel and school teachers, firemen, eoa
euetors, etc would raise all the money
tko State needed for every purpose.
He went fully into tkc question of
revaluation aad other tax methods and
warned against the dangers ef being
misled by the misrepresentation of Par.
ker aad Bolton and other Republicans.
He declared that the Democratic party
had never oppressively taxed tho people
of this State aad never would.- Passing

Candidate Parker recently went te
Shelby, his home town, to capitalise
the wounds ef Osrdacr ' supporters
who caw their favorite' beaten by

things at Shelby about Mr. Gardner
and with fewer words and equal sin

Simmons precedent at New Bern a few
days ago. ,-
"I here and heartily endorse aad
reciprocate his complimentary refer

and I am a partisan Democrat. This
fundamental difference ia not suscept
