country to vote for the principles your party espouses. There
is no safety for your liberties if you stay at home and allow
some one else to do your voting. Ii you are democrats be on

place, and vote and work for the nominees of your party. See
that the following names are on your ballot:

writes us from Uutherf.)rdton as
follows;
“After visiting tK^iiiy every
<-o;nity in this district and from
others on both sides. I can safely
preilict ('rawford’s election is
'•ei’tain anil the majority will ai)-
proximate; l.oOG—a ilemocratic
LCain of 4l’0 over two years a^'o.
‘•The counties of Haywood,
Hut her ford and Buncombe-
three most popiilous counties—
will ^^ive Crawford (>ver lI.OGO
majoi'ily, aiul this trif) sc^cui'es
:iis 1‘lection beyond a doubt.
Three otlier deviiocratic counties
will irive him oOO more, thus ,i,nv-
in”- at least il.rJOO total majority
for Craw’foi'd. Rutherford un
der tlie able and a^^ressive
democratic chairman, John C.
Mills, is the b('st or^^anized
.•ounJy in the whole fourteen
.•ounties of this disti’ict. Of tlie
170 new voters recently I’e^is
tered in Knthei’ford ll'Oaredem
oo’ats who will go to tho polls,
ind Crawford's majoi’ity is cor
rectly estimated by the itiside
woi'kers at i^OO, w'hile Haywood.
Urawford's homo county, will
‘(lual if not surpass Kulherford
vvith sOO or more.
••In the republican column
Uands Ilonderson at the top with
:i(Mi’ly 400 repuidican majf)rity.
Swain and another republican
•ounty with ::2r)0 each, making
neai’ly OOO repr.\)lic*au majority.
Add three other doubtful Repub
lican counties with less than lOQ
^iacli majority. Then McDowell,
claimed by tho whisky element.
re))ublicans and democrats, with
a majority of 75 for either side, is
classed as doubtful and unknown.
“Polk cjunty democracy is
better or^anizi'd and more
<T^ressiv(i. One hall the countv
officials ai'e democrats and the
other iialf republicans, so the
contest is close with a democi’atic
I majority of 100 ])romised by sev-
! eral leaders and organizers.”
j As W. H. Miller did not visit
j Transylvania county we feel dis
posed to say a word for Mi-.
, Crawfoi'd’s chances here. He is
the tirst democratic cantlidate for
congi'ess who ever received a
majority in this county, and tVie
only one ]>rior to the (,*onstitu
ti()nal anuMidujeiit disfranchising
the negi'o. H(3 is stronger today
than m'er \)efore; he has dm’el-
oped wonderfully sinc(; his first
election, and is n)o!’e in touch
With the common people, and is a
better spi*aker and campaigner
than during his tirst rat.’i*. We
believe that in this election he
will have a much larger- majority
than has ever been giv{>n a dem
ocrat foi’ congress, and \.e be
i lieve the majoi'ity abov(‘ {>redict
ed, I.oOO, is too low -b\it every
democrat must come out. Don’i
g(‘t un idea that lie will be elected
without your vote and stay at
home. Every vote counts and
this county must give him 17)0
majority.
*
* * *
A race which is all fading
mucli attention is that for so
licitor between Mark I5rown and
(’ruy Roberts. Mr. Brown Vvill
have a more solid j-t‘publican sup
poi-t than any other republican
candidate, and the fact that the
ofiicii is t/ eated somewhat as ju
dicial in natui-e helps him, but of
course the main ri'liance is the
re[)ublican mtijority in Madison.
13ut Guy Roberts, the democrat
ic candidate, is showing great
strength in all three caunties and
Madison men say that Mr. Rob
erts being a Mudison man is go
ing to njake a big hole in that
majority and if he gets what is
coming to him in Buncombe will
carry olf the prize. ]\Ir. Roberts
and Mr. Brown have si)ent con
siderable tim<; in Madison lately.
They are canvassing here this
week and our peo])le will have an
opportunity > judge of their
merits. As Buncombe county
usually monopolizes most of the
oftices and Mark Biown is fi'om
Buncombe, our symi)athies are
with Ml-. Roberts if there was no
l)rinciple involved. As demo
crats we must give Mr. Robei’ts
a r(.»L’sing vote in tlie county.
*
For the state senate the voters
of Transylvania should forget
that there is more than one can
didate in the field. Regardless
of party attiliations every vote
cast for a senatorial candidate
should have on it the name of W
E. Breese, jr. Our people know
the light he has made before the
Board of Commissioners to pre
serve the [)ublic roads for the use
of the people who made them,
and they know that be made the
tight without reward or the hope
of reward. No man in the county
jean afford to vote against him.
I His comi)etitor is in every way a
i nice man from Haywood, and Mr.
Bi-e(^seis mentioning him as such
at every precinct, but that
doesn’t release the obligation our
people owe to our own candidate
—Transylvania’s candidate. The
News would be pleased if the
verdict of our people was unani
mo us for \V. E. Bi'cese, jr.
*
-it
We do not V)eliev(‘ in ])ersonali-
ties in politics and are truly glad
to notic-e that our county (-andi-
dates are not indulging in any
mud slinging or abuse of theii'
o})ponents. A good, clean cam
paign. fought out on the ])lat-
j forms of the two parties, is what
is enjoyed by the peo})le.
i * *
Owing to his physical f-onditioii
Mr. Perry Moore, the re{)ublican
nominee for the Legislature, is
not *4ble to make the campaign
and D. L. English is making Mr.
Mooro’s speecii'^s for hinu Mr.
English is a lawyer of ability and
experience, but we are truthful
in saying that Tom (xallowa}" is
more than holding his own and
has Englisli on the run.
*
* *
In fact it is bad politics for tlie
re[)ublicans to discuss state or
county affairs in Transylvania.
The people here remember that
when the republicans were in
power in this county that they
[>aid -'2 cents on the !?IOU worth
of [)ro[)erty and 70 cents more on
the poll tlian they do now, and
that the taxes have been going
down ever since the democrats
^ot back in power; that there is
now in th(} hands of the County
Treasurer a sur[)lus in evei'y de
partment, with every debt paid
up and this year’s taxes not col
lected.
*
There is no use to try and get
the people of Transylvania to j)ut
in new’ men to transact the busi
ness of the county when the
present nominees or the demo-
: cratic party have i)roved by theii-
past i-ecords that t!i(*yare able
and honest and the llnancial con
dition of the countv and the
j promptness with which all debts
land claims are paid will insure
I their election.
j *
I *
I The republican nominees for
I tlie county offices are good citi-
Z'-*ns and nice men. one and all,
I but the same can be said of the
i democratic nominees, and still
j moi-e, for they have already
! proved their ability to manage
, the county much better than did
j the former republican officers.
I The people know who cut down
Uhe taxes, who paid up the old
; debts left unpaid by the republi-
icans. who j)ay all the school and
i county claims ]>romptly. and they
' are iroinir to vote to continue the
i
democratic party in power.
Ml-. English, who is doing all
the speaking for Perry Moore,
makes a great fuss about th
amount of money that the demo-
crats are spending in the state
and county. Well, we do not
-lony that we an.
The state and county have both
?rown. the expenses have in
creased and the receipts have in
creased, but the taxes have been
reduced, the .school t(;rnis ienirth-
ened, the p(Misions incnvised.^^v-
eiy de])artment made efficient, so
there is no merit in his claim’ of
irreat expenditure unless he can
show where any tnoiu^v is st.den
or wasted, and uf) to the pres<M:t
time he has failed most signally
to show w'here one dollar has
been either stolen or wasted by
the democrats.
* " .
Among- the best Ivnown of the
democratic nouiinees is Tei-z'eJI
Loft is. and we predict for huu
an incr(vis(Hl majoritr. Mr
Loftis has served the l)eople of
the county as Ch>rk of the Court
for eight years, and has provod
himself a most conscientious, ca
pable and obliging official and has
leceivtMl the warmest praise
from the various, judges hohiini.
.^ourt here for the maniit^r in
which he conducted his office.
*
liieie is little n»M*d ot .saying
anytliin^-to the p.-op],^ of Tratr-
sylvania about Bill Duckworth,
our efficient County Treasurer’
He has proven himself a most:
satisfactory official, ever pleas
ant and always prom(;t and accu
rate in his financial dealings with
the i)eople and officials. u:,d his
record is a cr(>dit to hiujselfand
a benefit to 1 ransylviinia countv.
■» *
And we say without fear of
contradiction that there has nev-
ei been an official in th..s ('ount\'
who lias more endeareil hims<‘]f
to the ))eople and wiio has ful-
iilld the manifold duti<js ol^ his i)>~
