VOL. 6. NO. 17. ASHEBORO, N. C, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1910, ONE DOLLAR A YEAR
hv You Should Vote
the Republican Ticket.
By A. Newman.
Th- Democratic Kand Book of
North Carolina, from which all
the Democratic stump speeches
are taken, contains what might
' be termed a chapter on Demo
cratic economy (?) and republican
extravagance.
They take the last four years
of the Roosevelt Administration
with its expenditure of very
near four billion dollars, and
compare it with I am sorry to
say it but they compare it with
Grover Cleveland'. last admini
stration! They complain because
the Roosevelt administration ap
propriated four times as much
for the Navy as Cleveland did.
They complain because the army
received over three times as much
under the Republican Adminis
tration as under the Democratic
administration. That is the
Democratic way. Theyjlook be
hind instead of before. They
look back at the past but do not
look forward to the future. The
late war with Spain taught the
American people a valuable les
son. It taught them the Roose
velt idea that a nation is best
prepared for peace when best
prepared for war. Would you
have the Naval appropriations
cut off and bring our Navy to a
stand still when all the Nations
of the earth are continually in
creasing theirs? On the Navy
rests the future of our country.
Would you in any way impede
the progress of your country?
Republican extravagance! Is it
extravagance to buy that which
you need? Is it extravagance
for Congress to prepare for the
peace of our Nation, and for the
safety of her Ninety Millions of
people? No, Grover Cleveland
did not spend over one half as
much as did the Roosevelt ad
ministration, and he added $262.
000,009 to the National debt to
spend as much as he
I submit to you voter that if
Grover Cievelands administra
tion was worth half a billion
dollars a year, that the Roose
velt administration was worth
a billion dollars per year.
Is it not good policy to have
an ample Navy when over six
teen billion dollars of our wealth
lies within gun shot of the At
lantic Coast? Think it over
voter.
BUTLER.
Just forty three pages of the
valuable (?) Hand Book is con
sumed in cussing. dis-cu:sing,
and re-cussing Marion Butler. It
Butler is the dare devil th y
would have .e pie- believe why
do they not meet hm on tht
stump and tell bim about it?
There is now a standing chal
lenge for any man in the State
to meet him in joint debate.
Why do not some of the great
er luminaries such as Glenn, Ay
cock, Kitchen, and our own
Hammer (?) Who claim distinc
tion as orators, meet him in joint
debate and tell him of his wrong
doing?
Butler! Bonds! Boodle! Ex
travagance! Help! Fire! Mur
der! Nigger! Nigger!! NiggerUl
Such are a few of the choice
words dished up by Democratic
speakers to draw the voters at
tention away from the unsavory
' record of the Democratic party.
About the worst thing they
bring against Butler is that he
uster' be a demmycrat, and even
that does not reflect discredit on
him, for does not the good book
tell us that we must be regen
erated? The cry of Butler is no go, and
the Democratic party will be
forced to look elsewhere for an
itsue if they expect to stay the
tide of popular opinion that is
fast engulfing the Democratic
party.
Bonds.
Butler, bonds and bcodle is the
favored term of democratic near
Orators. They cuss Butler be
cause he left the democratic par
ty. They have a perfect right to
discuss bonds, because they are
used to issuing them, and as for
boodle, oh well they are post
graduates along that line! The
mind of the reader probably goes
back to last spring when a call
was issued for the Legislature to
convene to dispose of a little
matter of bonds that had been issu
ed and which the State could not
float at par. The credit of the
State is great under the rule of
democracy. Of this there is no
doubt, but somehow or other the
State could not dispose of that
issue of bonds, by the way only
a little over three million dollars?
But what was to be done? Was
the good credit of our State to be
thus lowered in quagmire of per
dition? No it was not.
Brave men, both Democrats
I!
and Republicans, came to her
rescue, and took up the entire
issue and thus saved the State
the unnecessary expense of an
extra session of the legislature.
But who was the largest buyer
of those bonds? Put that ques
tion to a Democratic politician
and he will turn red around the
gi Is, and the next thing you
k r he will be out of sight a
round the corner.
It is a well known fact that the
American Tobacco Company (a
Corporation) jmt in a bid for a
cool million dollars of those bonds,
but for what purpose? Do you
suppose for a single instant that
they bought them because of
their patriotic spirit? Or was it
to insure such laws as would best
suit their interest to be enacted?
At any rate the present Anti
Trust law is one that is said to be
without teeth. A baser lie was
never told when the democrats
claim that if the Republicans
triumph in North Carolina, they
will try to pay those fraudulent
bonds.
The Constitution of the State
plainly says that they can never
be collected. The Republicans
could not pay them if they wan
ted to they would not pay them
if they could. The Democrats
are hard pressed for an issue, and
there is no better evicerce of
this than the way ll.a present
campaign 'is conducted. It is the
same uid song from the same old
stump, and u.e same Id bird and
he pet pie in the meantime are
getting ired of such methods.
I submit to you voter that the
American Tobacco Company
holds tWe present". Democratic
Administration in a bond of a
million dollars for the enactment
of such laws as will best suit
their interest.
Prohibition.
It was not my intention to have
anything to say in regard to the
present prohibition law. But af
ter reading the Democratic hand
book I changed my mind at once.
The people were led to believe
that the present prohibition law
was a non-partisan one. The
Democratic party is very incon
sistent. They will advocate any
measure that they think will be
popular with the larger element.
i In the South they are prohibitio
nist, in the North they are for
booze and plenty, of it. Have
you heard from Maine? That is
a question that is now asked by
Democratic near Orators from

Hot Thos. Settle's
V-
V,
I Speech.
Last Tuesday was Settle re
publican day in Randolph county
and judging from the speech,
the large number of republicans
present and their enthusiasm,
it looks like democratic chances
for carrying the Nov. election is
settled. The audience was com
posed mostly of republican vot
ers, filling the court house audi
ence room almost to its capacity.
Mr. Settle's speech of two hours
was clear cut, clean, logical,
argumentative, inspiring con
vincing and unanswerable. His
pertrayal of what the republican
policy of protection has done for
Dixieland should have convinced
any uripiejudiced mind that the
democratic doctrine of free trade
is business suicide. The speak
er's arrangment of democratic
hypocricy in both state and na
tion was fearful. He showed
up in plain words what kind of
good governm-e-n-t the demo
crats of this state are giving us.
His disposition of the local self
government plank in the repub
lican platform was lucid and
satisfactory to all his hearers ex
cept a few democrats.
Mr. Settle's speech was with
out doubt the best ever heard in
Asheboro and will do much good
for he republican cause in this
county. Space forbids us even
giving an outline of this brilliant
effort in the cause of republican
ism and free government.
Tim Confederals SoMiar mi His
PansJea.
John W. Hancock a confeder
ate veteran, says that he served
more than three years in the
civil war. That he believed that
he was entitled to a confederate
pension and made application for
the same some years ago, passed
and received the pension regu
larly until two years ago. He
says two years ao at the elec
tion, two leading democrats of
his township come to him , and
said "if you don't vote the demo
cratic ticket your pension ill
be stopped, but he did not vote
the '.democratic ticket and his
pension vas stopped. He says
when he failed to receive his
pension he come to Ashebor-i fr
see about it and was told by th
cle; k of the court "There is no
pension for you". He syjs that
he come to Asheboro twice after
wards, and the last lime he come
the eierk of the court was told
by his Colonel (Col. MsAlister)
that because he was a republican
his pension should notba cutoif.
He says that he told his Colonel
that, he Would spend half of his
pension as attorney fee and the
Colonel told him not to do it,
that he would get it for him
without feeing an attorney. He
says the pension has been com
ing regularly since.
In witness hereto I set my
hand and seal this the 25th; day
of October 1910.

A DEMOCRATIC SPEAKING.
Saturday night Oct 22, 1910:
the big guns of democracy open
ed fire on about -17". democratic
voters, a few women and child
ren and a few republicans who
went to see the fun, Willie
Hammond seemed to have charge
of the circus, he made a very
short and somewhat blunt speech
of course it was about pensions,
he tried to tell us what he and
the sheriff did for an old soldier
we all knew but he had forgot
ten so much of it we could scarce
ly get the meaning of it. He -informed
us that he was a very
busy man and had to be "Johnny
on the spot" with his pencil al
ready trimmed. I guess that ac
counts for so much of his for
getfulness about pensions. He
informed us before he sat down
that the new court house was
completed at a cost of something
over $31,000 dollars and that the
republicans said it would cost
$60,000 dollars two years ago
but by the county commissioners
using tne strictest economy ic
had been built at a saving of
nearly half to the "dear pepul".
He then cleared the ring and
the various candidates were pre
sented, to the audience among
them -was one they called "J"
a clownish kind of fellow wlio'
tickled us ail with his bowand
smiles. Next corn.- R. Cox
witJ.rijlL"p"archment which
had figures and "ritin" all over
it. He kept this in his hand all
the time 'for ready reference.
He started out by saying he
didn't want to make the run no
how but they couldn't get any
one else to take it and run so a
committee and the "ring bece"
waited on him and he decided. to
run with it if he didn't get 30
votes (cheers) he had Mr , Car
ter's a running: too, he stated
further that the run hadn't cost
him any thing yet and he hoped
it wouldn't and he let loose a few
telling blows at the tariff, say-,
ing if the dems could but get
control of the thing they would
save $10,000 000 per year to the
old North State alone. Oh!: yod
democrats, you would make us
all rich in two years time if you
could but get control of congress
for three months.
He stated further that new in
dustries would cease to spring
up and people from other states
would quit investing money here
if the republicans got control of
the affair of this state and his
voice grew husky when he said
the "nigger" was liable to march'
up to the ballot box and kill his
vote. We all knew when he
&U "nigirer'' he was about
through, whn he sat down Wil
lie again hit the floor and closed
the performance thanking us all
for our attention.
The whole performance was so
.thin it wouldn't have made a
visabl shadow on a moonlight
night without oie ot Willies
"spcka" to havs locked through.
