TAKE THE BROADER VIEW.
The following, from the Wash
ington correspondent of the
Charlotte Observer, appeared in
that newspaper Monday morning:
I asked a well known Republi
can manufacturer from North
Carolina what he thought of
political conditions in the state.
"It seems to me that conditions
are more favorable for Republi
can success than I have ever
seen in North Carolina before,"
he said, "though I do not make
it a rule to mix my drinks and I
am here on business and not
politics."
"On what do you base your
claim?"
"Oh, this is not a claim, but
merely the trend of matters as
I see it and hear from the busi
ness element with which I am
thrown. This element seems to
be satisfied with business con
ditions from the political stand
point." "What are the conditions
which you think have produced
this feeling of satisfaction?"
"Well. primarily the financial
situation, predicated upon sound
money and freedom from the
many isms which formerly be
clouded the sky.
"As a matter of fact, our peo
ple are more thoroughly study
ing and understanding the great
issues before them. Business
men are practically agreed upon
a protective tariff which allows
us to turn our raw material into
a finished product and thereby
bring us this double profit is thus
i making our people prosperous
and it takes prosperity to enable j
us to see the brighter side of
life. We are practically unani
mous, too, in our support of the
Panama canal and ship subsidy,
which is sure to follow, and why
should we not be with the im
mense traffic it will bring to the
eastern section of our state?"
"But the proposition will be
put to your party that the tariff
is increased the cost of living."
"True, in fact, too true, but
ours are an agricultural people
and all producers are reaping
great benefits from stiff prices
and you can hardly expect these
beneficiaries to vote to lessen
their profits I was about to say
to vote for Democracy and the
unsettled conditions which would
certainly follow Democratic suc
cess. Furthermore, farm pro
ducts detnand such a price that
every one who can will begin to
do a little farming on the side.
Even the man who lives in town
will have his garden, his chick
ens and keep a cow and, it may
1 TTT1 1
De even raise a pig. wnne on
this subject, I may say that
encourage air our mill employes
to do all of these and their in
creasing saving deposits will
answer whether it is successful. ' '
"But you are speaking mostly
of national policies: how can
these benefit your nartv in
rock-ribbed Democratic state?"
Easy success makes all see
things in a broad view and pros
perity and happiness will uproot
the most deepseated prejudice.
nn " i n i . i
ine negro is out oi pontics ana
the white man can choose along
the line of principles; which ever
party wins, the white man rules
and there is no longer any incen
tive to violence or fraud at elec
tions and the morals of our state
is so greatly improved that gent
lemen will no longer wink at
dishonesty and this precludes
the advisability of any federal
election law. We are getting an
element from the opposite party
wno Deiieve m principles and - C9ntly. The f uneral was conduct
are honest enough to declare ed at Holly Springs Saturday
this belief."
' 'But how about the man who
deserts his party to join yuors;
do you not turn a suspicious eye
upon him?"
"Not at all; on the other hand,
we receive him with open arms
and the welcome which should
await the convert who se-s the
light at the eleventh hour. We
not only welcome him; we exalt
him; for mark you, we are rapid
ly becoming a party in which
the office seeks the man and
manhood alone should count.
We are not living in the past,
and bygones are bygones.
"I shall have to illustrate this
with a tale of frontier days. In
a new camp there were many
and fatal encounters which
caused the people, to assemble to
make some laws to avoid trouble.
It was ascertained that the shoot
ings always followed some refer
enced a fellow's past history.
One of the elder statesmen arose
and moved accordingly that 'all
past history be abolished' and
immediately there was no more
strife.
"And so with us, all past his
tory is abolished, if the erring
brother will join in making his
state nrosnsrous and giving the
prominence that its diversified
A.
interest merit. Our colleges are
turning out young men who are
too anxious to enter the race to
listen to the traditions and preju
iices and hatreds of the past.
These young giants, instead of
throwing away their time and
opportunity in reading calamity-
howling newspapers, are push
ing onward and overtaking, aye,
eading, these great modern
combinations while most ot our
press are crying to tnem mat
hey are poisonous trusts. Our
. i j i
young DanKers are too ousy in
vesting the large deposits en
trusted to them to listen to
harpies.
"You may say, without being
ntelligently disputed, that 70
per cent, of your young men who
cast cheir first vote last election
oined the Republican ranks."
"What will be the policies
your party present to the voters
in the next election?"
"Protective tariff, ship subsidy
absolute local self-government in
ali matters, and lastly, men
who know the worth of. our state
and will make it greater; men
who dare and do ; men who will
be satisfied only with seeing
their state the greatest in a
greater south; men who wall not
stand for dictation; men who
know not how to fail.
"The Republican party will
ask every intelligent voter to
adopt the motto, 'Take the
broader view,' because our state
will never come into its own un
til every , one of its sons can
"Take the broader view."

GRANT RE-NOMINATED.
Enthusiastic and Harmonious Conven
tion in the 1 Oth Congressional District.
A special from Ashville to the
Greensboro Daily News April
2d says: Congressman Jonn G.
Grant was today renominated by
the Tenth district Republican
convention, which met here.
The nomination was made by
acclamation, no other candidate
being in the field.
The convention was remark
ably harmonious, all factionalism
having died out, and the pro
gram was quickly carried
through. '
The courthouse was crowded
to hear Mr. Grant, Representa
tive McKinlay, of California, and
Adna R. Johnson, of Ohio, speak.
The speakers were enthusiastic
ally greeted by one of the best
conventions ever held here.
C. J. Harris, of Dillsboro, was
made permanent chairman.
T. F. Itoland who, as chairman
of the Buncombe county Repub
lican executive committee, did
such effective work for the party
in the last campaign, was elected
chairman of the congressional
excutive committee. He an-
nounced he would begin cam
paigning at once. The expected
opposition to the adoption of
resolutions did not appear, and
the following were unanimously
adopted:
"The Republicans of the Tenth
district of North Carolina, in
convention assembled, resolve
as follows:
4 'We reaffirm our allegiance
and devotion to the principles of
the National Republican party.
"That wa congratulate tne
country on its progress and pros
perity under Republicans rule,
showing that the policies of the
Republican party have brought
prosperity to the nation. :
"That we cordially commend
the zeal and sincerity of ' Presi
dent Taft in his efforts to enact
into law the promises of our
national platform.
"Resolved, That we endorse
the course of our representative
in Congress, the Hon. John G.
Grant, and recognize in him an
efficient public servant and we
hereby pledge ourselves to do all
in our power to secure his re-election."
Representative Johnson, in his
speech, defended the tariff,
which he declared all right. - He
declared that the Republican
party was responsible for pros
perity and good prices, prices be
ing better even in the darkest
days of Republican rule than in
the brightest days of Democratic
administration. He declared
that the people should forget,
for a time, the name of Republi
can party, "that they should call
it the American party, for
America first, last and all the
time."
Regarding tariff enactments,
he said the Democrats declared
for free lumber and free pulp
wood, but when it came to vote
in Congress, every man from
North Carolina voted for the
tariff except Kitchin.
Congressman McKinley follow
ed with a speech in which he en
larged upon the idea of an
American party and expressed a
desire to see tne party grow m
the south, even having candidal
tes of-sthe Republican party for
President from North Carolina,
which he declared would receive
his support. '
Both speakers highly compli
mented Mr. Grant's course and
urged the people to return him.
Congressman Grant is enthusias
tic and in convention pledged him
self to carry the district, -saying
he would make a strenuous cam
paign rom county to county,
district to district, and would not
rest until the district remains
i safely Republican.
NEGROES REGISTERED BY DEMO
CRATS The following from the Raleigh
State Democrat is an honest con
fession of who is responsible for
registering negroes. Says the
Democrat:
"Once when a certain minister
wanted to get up against his con- .
gregation good and hard, and
was looking for a :. suitable topic
upon which to base his castiga
tion, one of his deacons suggest
ed that Judas Iscariot would be
a good subject, as he had no
friends in the church. The re
publican party is regarding in
much the same light by many
in the State. And so we fre
quently see it stated that one
of the things which the party
has in view is the giving back to
the negroes the ballot they have
lost. Passing by any discussion
on this point, when the truth is
told, it will be seen that most
negroes who have been allowed
to register and become voters
since the passage of the amend
ment have done so through the
efforts of Democrats and not
Republicans. We dislike to say
this, but it is true, and it's now
a matter of record. And this is
the unfortunate part, that it is a
matter of record. The negroes
who were put oil the books tor
the sake of carrying, some local
matter are now on the books,
and are there for all time, 'ex
cept some who may commit
crime which shall disqualify.,,
them. The allowing of negroes v
to vote in prohibition elections
in order to record a local victory
has been the entering wedge,
which, if' persued far enough,
will destroy the safeguards and
the blessings which came as the
result of the Constitutional
Amendment. A negro can well
afford to vote any way, once, in
a local election, provided by this
he becomes a voter in all subse
quent elections. A negro who
is qualified to vote ought to be
allowed to do so, but to make an
effort to have them come to the
ballot box will lead to voting
them indiscriminately, which
simply means a return to former
conditions. We dislike to make a refer
ence in this or any ' other matter
to ourself , for when in editor be
gins to print something about
himself, he is about put ot copy.
But we simply want to say that
in Raleigh a few years ago this
writer, through the-medium of
another paper, made the best
fight he could for the extension
o'f the city limits; and while the
effort failed; it was expressly
stated that no effort would be
made by the friends of extension
to register negro voters. Those
who have done so in the past,
or do so in the future, will find
they are 'playing with fire."
