NOVEMBER i 11910. Ei^ht Weeks to Christmas i And time RIGHT NOW to Begin Your Christinas Shopping ; EULKELEY BEATEN. One More of the Stand Pat Senators Will Be Left at Home. The result of the primaries for mem bers of the Couuecticut legislature sliows Senator Morgan G. Bulkele.v de- cisiYely beaten for re-election. If the Kepubiicans carry the legislature ex- Gorernov McLean will hare a major- jtr of the eattc-ua. fight was ex ceedingly bitter. While McLean has Dever been classed as an insurgent, he is at least more nearly a progressive than Bulkeley. Of the thirty senators whose terms expire March 4 next, twenty-one voted for the Payne-Aldrlch tariff bill on final passage. Through withdrawal or defeat seven of these have already fallen by the wayside. These are Aid- rich of Rhode Island, withdrawn: Bulkeley of Connecticut, defeated; Bnrrows of Michigan, defeated by a progressive; Flint of California, with drawn, to be succeeded by a near pro gressive: Hale of Maine, withdrawn, to be succeeded by a Democrat; Piles of Washington, withdrawn, to be suc ceeded by a progressive, and Warner of Missouri, withdrawn, who will probably be succeeded by a Democrat. Of the remaining fourteen there are eight who are in peril of being beaten either in their own party or by the Democrats. These are Burkett of Ne braska, Carter of Montana, Clark of Wyoming, Depew of New York, Dick of Ohio, Dupont of Delaware, Kean of New Jersey, Lodge of Massachu setts and Nixon of Nevada. Of the entire twenty-one outgoing senators who voted for the Payne bill a majority will never come back. Now look on the other side of the picture. There are three outgoing Re publican senators who did not vote for the Payne bill—Beveridge of Indfana, Clapp of Minnesota and La Follette of Wisconsin. All thfee have been re nominated or will be, and only one, Beveridge, is in any peril from the Democrats. It pays to keep promises in politics as elsewhere. NUMBER*44 A LUSTY INFANT. For its first national campaign the progressive movement has seven candidates for governor in as many states and at least two others that are partially progressive, six candidates for senator and three more that are near insurgent and more than fifty candidates for the house. The tide is still rising. The Negro in Politics^ How He Got in, and Why He Stays in^ The Republican Party Wants Him. It was hoped by the citizens of North Carolina that when the Constitutional Amendment was adopted the ne^ro question was settled for all time in our state politics, and republicans as well as democrats were thankful for such conditions. Unfortunately, however, the National Republican Party, in Its efforts to control the negro vote in Ohio, Pennsylvania, Indi ana and other Northern States, has pledged the republican party to restore to the negro all his po litical and civil rights and the leaders of that party have opened the door for negroes to re-enter politics in this and other South ern states. Two years ago the democrats were not discussing the negro in their political campaign speech es, but during this campaign the negro question has been, and will be. one of the main issues, for the republican platform has come out squarely for the negro and for giving him back his vote. John G. Grant will have to vote if he should be in Congress- electedr—to allow ihe negro to re enter politics in North Carolina for the Republican Congression- il Handbook promises the ne groes (or Afro-Americans as they call the negroes) to pass such laws as will give them back all their political rights. Mr. Grant may not personally like to vote for this negro politi cal equality for ^it is against his people, against the people he rep resents, but Mr. Grant is a stronger republican than he is a North Carolinian and he will vote as his National party directs, never mind how it affects his peo ple in the mountains of North Carolina. Two years ago Mr Grant told the people of this dis trict that if Crawford was elected the duty on pulp wood would be lowered and tha't the price of said wood would go do’wn and that therefore Crawford’s election would ruin the ac'd and pulp in dustry in this section. Grant promised that he would keep up the high tariff and save the peo ple. But what is the truth about his position? As soon as he got to Washington he w-as told what the National . Republican party wanted to do and, among the things was to reduce the tariff on this protected wood. Mr. Grant forgot his friends at home, forgot his promises to the moun tain men and he voted as Joe Cannon told him to vote, namely to reduce the tariff on wood and therefore the price of wood has not gone up and o«r people have lost thousands of dollars. Therefore, if Grant went back on us on the wood q.uestion it is certain that he will go back on us on the negro quo.ftioB, and we can not afford to tr^st him to help make our laws. Major Rollins in his speeches at Brevard and at Rosman said that the ‘*Nigger” was dead, that the (democrats were only using it as a bugaboo. Poor old Major! The echo of his speech had not died before the newspapers were full of President Taft appointing a “nigger” to the high office of Assistant Attorney General of the United States, the highest of fice any negro ever held. This negro has been in the employ of the republican party in Boston for eight years. He was born in Virginia but moved up North and joined the republican party and is now appointed as boss to Prof. J. J. Britt, boss to Hon. Thos. Settle and hundreds of other ^ood white men, and this Negro is now one of the chief legal ad visors of the United State’s gov ernment. No wonder that Prof Britt did not come to Brevard to make his advertised speech, for Prof. Britt is a high toned gentle man and he was ashamed of his party appointing this negro to so high an office. Mr. Grant has refused to meet any democrat on the stump this campaign for the very good rea son that he can not defend his own record on the wood traffic nor can he defend the republican party on its standing for Negro Equality. The whi^je men of Transylvnia should not forget the four hun dred negroes appointed to office in this State by the last republi can Legislature and if Marion Butler ana his crowd get in we will see the same state of affairs. Don’t forget that the republi cans put Jim \oung,‘iihai cdS black negro, in control of the poor blind white children of the State. Never mind what party you belong to—remember first that* you are a white man and that blood is thicker than either water or politics. A large majority of the mem bers of the republican party in this State and county are w^hite men and in favor of white men first, last and all the time, but there are scheming leaders wto ouly use the republican party for their own selfish ends. Those leaders fooled the good white re publicans in 1894 but they can not fool them asrain. Coanty Government.. Representative—G. W. Wilson. Clerk Superior Court—^T. T. Loftis.

LATEST NEGRO BULLETm; Reports from the vicinity of Cape San Antonio say the Cuban revenue cutter Cespedee has been wrecked, '^it.h the loss of the captain and all hands except two. An unknown Amer ican bark is stranded off the cape. The crew was saved. Maj. Rollins, Charlie Mash- burn, Boyce Deaver and Judge Faulkner said the nigger was dead in politics, that the Demo crats had “negrophobia. ” Poor Radicals, just when they had things all nicely fixed up Presi dent Taft appointed Lewis, the negro, as Assistant Attorney General of the United States, they tried to explain that by say ing it was in New York. But to top it all, when Vice President Sherman left Asheville to go home he met Booker Wash ington at Salisbury. Mr. Sher man had a private car and as soon as he found that Booker Washington was on the train he sent for him and took him into his private car and Booker Wash ington (negro) rode in Vice Pres ident Sherman’s (republican) car and Sherman and Washington spoke at two places in North Car olina. What do you white men of Transylvania think of that? Is the negro question dead? No, not vet, and never will be until the Republican party is dead. WHITMIRE COTTAGE CHERRYFIELD, N. C.

Democrats of Transylvania: It is but a few days until Election, and I appeal to you to save Ae County from Re publican "‘Role and Ruin." There are enough Democrats in the County to elect the entire County Ticket, and I ask every Democrat to come out and vote. Grant beat Crawford by reason of the "'stay-at-home" vote, and we cannot allow that to happen again. Certain Republican leaders are making every effort to swap any of their candidates fw Mr, Pickelsimer—they want the tax list, they want to handle the money. I want the Demo crats to watch this move. Again I beg you to go out to the polls on election day and WORK for Democratic success. Work, my brother white man, for the supemacy of the white man's party in Transylvania and in North Carolina. Forget any personal feeling and vote as your instincts as a pure-blooded white man prompt yqu to vote. Vote to put down ^BUTLER, BOOZE and BONDS,” and vote for Democracy, Decency and Development, Don't forget past history in our County and State, and let past experience be the I^ht to guide you in casting your ballots next Tuesday. Respectfully, W. E BREESE, Jr., County Chairman. ADMINISTRATOR’S. NOTICE. Having qualified as administrator of the estate of J. C. McGaha, deceased, late of Transylvania county.
