The Republican Congressional Campaign Committee will not print a campaign book this year. This is the first time in the recol lection of present-day politicians that either of the two leading parties has not been able to take issue wiih the other party and give reasons why it should be tfiven a majority in the House of Representatives of the next Con gress. There is a reason for this. The Democratic committee has issued a campaign book setting forth the work of the Wilson administration and the Demo cratic Congress. This record is so generally approved by the country at large, as was evi denced in the Maine election, that Republicans cannot attack it. They know they would lose vctes by going before the peop'e iind attacking the Underwood Simmons tariff law, which broke ip monopolies and reduced cus tom rates to a revenue basis. A number of Republicans in both houses voted with the Democrats for this reform bill, and up to the breaking out of the European war these lOA-er duties and the income tax were yie'ding all the ewiiije the government needed and providing a healthy surplus, besides giving the consumers cheaper clothing, farming tools, miu- and many other things enuring into the home life of the people. The breaking out of war a out August 1st paraliztd our trade withEurope and impor tations have been greatly reduced, The customs taxes on account of the war do not yield sufficient revenue for the expenses or the government and the keeping of the reseive fund to the point needed to enab e the treasury department to continue its assis tance ;o tht farmers in handling their crops without sacrificing them, For this reason, a specia war tax on beer, wines and cer tain other luxuries to run during the war have been provided. This would have been necessarj under the high protection tariff of the Republican era, for no tariff law will .vield a norma' amount of revenue when imports stop as they necessarily do when half the counties with which we trade cannot put a ship loa 1 of goods on the seas. These special war taxes were levied, as Presi dent Wilson insisted, only on luxuries and in a manner that they can be repealed immediately afcer the war ends and foreign trade is resumed. The Republi- j cans were wise in not taking j .jju, Hiui iiiiuv-iam. taint i law and the special taxes that; make up for the loss of revenue under it during the war and keep the treasury in a position to I turnish crop-moving money to the rural districts I The next great work of the 1 Democratic President and Con gress was the passage of the currency bill. It provides an elastic currency. It divides the country into twelye districts, with one reserve bank each, linked with all the National banks of the district, and makes every section independent of other sections. It breaks Wall Street's control of the Tioney of the country and makes panics imDossib'e. If possible, this is a greater accomplishment than the reform of the tariff laws which took S100.OCO.000 cf taxes off the backs of the poor and put it in the form of income tax on the rich, who under Republican ad ministrations, paid but little to the support of the government This currency law is so just and sufficient and popular that every body is praising it. Republicans admit that they have been con vinced for years that their cur rency laws were wront? and should have been repealed, But they dared not do it. The money powers to whom they looked for campaign contributions and the coertion of voters demanded their retention as the price of their support. These money lords also thieatened Woodrow Wilson. Their lobbies swooped down on the Democratic Con gress. But Wi'son and Congress shut the doors in their faces and made a currency law that is ac knowledged to be the best in the world. The pushing through of this bill by President Wilson in the face of the most powerful opposition that any President ever faced was the bravest act in the annals of American poli tics and American statesmanship Space will not permit us in this article to refer to the pas safe of the anti trust bill, the cotton grading bill, the repeal of the canal toll exemption bill, the ship registry bill and others that stand to the credit of the Democratis administration. The people of the United States stand at the back of iVoodrow Wilson for his great services in their behalf and are going to give him a bigger ma jority in both houses of the next Congress than he has in this one. The Republicans of this Congress know this, or they jvould not have given up without a right. The people of Catawba must have a part in the endorsement of the Wilson administration that will be recorded in thundering tone on the 3rd day of November. The way to secure their share, in the endorsement U to get out the biggest Democratic vote ever polled in Catawba county for Lee S. Overman for United States Senator, E Y. Webb for Congress and all the Democratic candidates for county officers. THE YOUNG VOTERS, The Republicans have been campaigning in this county for two months Tiey seem to think that they can make votes by much talking and continuous solicitation. We have not heard any of their speeches, but we have noted that all their ap pointments so far have been in Republican communities. Prom this we infer that tney are hiv ing trouble in holding the voters thev have had in former cam paigns from flying the coop. We are not at all surorised that they are having trouble in keep ing former Republicans from catchincr the enthusiasm for Woodrow Wilson that is sweep ine the voters from all ranks into the Democratic pariy. mis ii especially so in thec-ise of the young men, as Mr. Bryan said in his speech in A-iheville, Wood- row Wilson is the kind of a man that appeal to young ineu who admire courage and greatness, fie is a man who does things, .inJ inspires others to do thinu. Ve enjoin on every young weo n Catawba county to read wh.-.t Mr. Hryan said last Saturoay uuht iu Ashevilie about Hip young men, ll is food for thought for young Democrats ...nil young Republicans alike t'onng Republicans sboulJ not feel that they are bound to v te the Republican ticket because tneir fathers bve been voting it,. A'oodrod Wilson cam? to prc c'aim and establish a "Now i'". ecdoiii." Thai was his first message. He has lived up to it, and has already broken many of the Oid shackles. That the "New Freedom" of "vVoodnw Wilson has come to s&ay, we point young voters. Democratic and Republicin boj.s j alike, to the fict that no R ; puuucim tc-uay win caiie trie stump and plead for the rtpea, of any law thatCongress, through Woodrow Wilson's iosistance, has passed, or plead for the reeDactment of any Republican1 jiW that he has had repealed. No man will tro before voters today and say he would like to see the high tariff rates of the infamous Paine-Aldrich law reenacted. No man will say that he wishe s to see the Wilson income tax law repealed. No man will say that he wishes the Wilson currency law repeal ed. No man will say that he wishes the Wilson anti-trust law lepcal ed and the trusts reenthroned. No man will say that he wishes the ships of the shipping trust to be given back the privilege of going through the Panama canal at the expense of the govarn ment. These are the begin ninar chap ters of Woodrow Wilson's ' New Freedom." Young men, of ail parties must see that no party can in the future liye unless it accept these great principles. And the fathers of the young men to day will be doing their sons an injus- tice if they try to persuade their sons to reject the opportunity now to embrace the New Free aom of Woodrow Wilson. It is eqinR to be the ruling spirit of this country for years and years, it will Jive and be the guiding star for Presidents and Congresses long after Woodrow Wilson passes over the River aud is for all time held up to the youth of the land as the second father and redeemer of bis country.

The Young Men's Party, "I like to see these young men taking part. The democratic party is more a young man's par ty today than it has been before in 50 years The democratic party is becoming a young man's party because young men look forward and the democratic par ty is a forward looking party Tne young man feels as he is go ing to be here for a long while, lie must help to put things right and make the best possible con ditions under which to I've and he rinds the democratic party the party which tries to make things right. He finds the dem ocratic pirty based upon princi ples which are fundamental af ter a struggle of more than 50 years for the rescue of this na tion from bondaere to victory. 'T am glad we have these young men taking an active part and unless my prediction fails, you will rind that at the Novem ber election, there w!ll be more young men voting the democrat ic ticket tht n have ever voted it before. -From W. J. Brjan's Ashevillle Speech. Bryan At Ashevilie. William Jenuings Bryan spoke to a great audience in Ashevilie last Saturday night. It was the first political speech he has made bince the election of 1912, which placed Woodrow Wilson in the White House. He told of the work of the Wil son adminiatration and said the way to endorse Woodrow Wilson was to vote for Democrats in next month's election. Of Wood row Wilson he said: "Woodrow Wilson is not only conscientious, but is on the peo ple's side and the people know he is on their side. It, means a great deal to this country to have a president who looks at every question from every standpoint and a president who is not afraid of all the influences that operate against justice. I have sten enough of him to know he is not afraid. I have been fighting now for some -0 years in national politics, and I have known great many men. hut from tht time I entered politics, 1 have never found abrtver man than Woodrow WU.-on. We have had some tiemendous questions to met, we have dealt with some mighty problems, but he has not yet been afraid lo meet a propo sition He has taken hold of the principles involved and has de.ll with them so success! ully that I btheve it is safe to say the 1 irge majority of Ihc Ameiican people thank God that Woodrow Wilson is an American. a -i i r i An Only Daughter m. - b , ConsumPbon Mien death was hourly expected, all remedies having failed, and Dr. H.James was experiment- ine with the many herbs of Calcutta, he acci- i dentally made a preparation which cured his only child ol Consumption, ne has proved to the world that Consumption can be positive ly and permanently cured.

Garvin Furniture Company Home Furnishers. Republicans Without Campaign Material? Democrats were amused at the report circulated today that the republican congressional cam paign committee will not issue a text book this year oh account of the failure of the committee to agree on the line of attack. "The country is with Wilson, and any attempt to criticise him or his record would only make us rediculous " said one Repuli can today. "Unless the Demo crats are apathetic in November or remain away from the polls because of overconfidence, I can see only a repitition of the re sults of two years ago. "We cannot attack the curren cy law, for its worth has been proved within the last few weeks, It would bel fool hardy to at tempt to cjnvince the people that they should return to the Paynt-Aldrich taritf classifica tions.
