Senator Overman's speech at Charlotte sounded like one of Mr. Bryan's phonographic productions. "Harmony", "Harmony", Oh! how many sins the Democratic poli tirians have committed in thy name! Those Democrats who are claiming there is no lack of harmony within their party evidently have no ear for music. . ' Aycock's mocking birds made haste ! to leave the Democratic convention j at Asheville when that delegate drew j his gun. "Granville true to the Democracy," says a headline in the Durham Sun. Yes; but has Democracy been true to Granville? Farmers are certain to receive good prices for their products this season. Will the politicians then blame this on the tariff? "Oh, that mine enemy would write a book!" Better thing to do is wish that he would run a "poke berry" newspaper. The new Wake County machine didn't work smoothly at Charlotte. Either the collar galled, or they just d'vdu't understand. Two bold burglaries, on the main street and right opposite the police headquarters In two nights. Yes, it was in the "refawm" run city of Ra leigh. "Gudger challenges Grant to de bate," says a headline. That is suf ficient that the Democrats made a mistake in the selection of their can didate. Each Democratic convention held so far has been opened by a brass band with the appropriate tune: "There'll be a hot time in the old town to-night." Our "refawm" city administration has added another $800 per year to the city's expenses to run ten years. We confess we do not understand that kind of reform. The day of boss rule in politics is fast coming to an end. In the future the people who do the voting will have something to say about the management of their party. Ex-Congressman Crawford refer red to the Democratic Convention in the Tenth District as a howling mob. Reminds one of red-shirt days only they are practicing their methods on each other now. If the "refawmers" who now have Raleigh by the throat happen to cap ture the larger field of the county this fall, who can foretell what will ! happen? Even the Xews and Obser ver is getting restless. The Charlotte convention worked both ways. It patted the Governor on the back for being a nice Gov ernor, and then hit him a solar us with regard to the most important appointment he has had to make. The Durham Herald says they had no business lieing on Judge Manning, which had its effect in beating him. Well, if they will lie about one of their own men, what do you sup pose they will try to do to the Re publicans? What's the matter with the Dem ocracy? The Charlotte "flatform, has "nary" a whereas; it doesn't view with alarm or point with pride to anything and, worst of all, it does ot even mention the name of the "Peerless leader." RANDOLPH RKPUBLICAXS IX. STRUCT FOR MORKIIKAD. A I.arge and HnthuiaAtir Contention Hon. K. A. Holton Make a Strong Speech Ktrellent Ticket Named Republican Will Carry County by Overwhelming .Majority C L. Holton Fndorel for Solic itor. Asheboro, X. C, July 13. Ran dolph County Republican Convention met in the Courthouse in Asheboro Saturday. July 16, H10, at 10:30 o'clock a. in., pursuant to the call of County Chairman C. I. Holton. to nominate a county and legislative ticket, elect delegates to the various conventions, to elect a chairman of the County Executive Committee and also a County Executive Committee, etc. Promptly at 10:30 o'clock the Convention wag called to order by C. L. Holton, who after stating the ob ject of the gathering and few re marks called Dr. James D. Gregg to the chair as temporary chairman, who delivered an able speech. After the work of the convention was begun, Hon. A. E. Holton, of Winston-Salem, was then introduced and delivered one of the strongest speeches ever delivered in Ashboro. The new and commodious court house was well filled, there being seven or eight hundred voters out to hear him. His speech of an hour and a half was a vote-winner from start to finish. He thoroughly dem onstrated the fact that the Democra cy and aristocracy of the South go hand in hand; that the Democratic 5 , i only talk and harangue in favor the I most Prominent of them are being consumer. The speaker clearly dem- i interviewed by the Washington news onstrated that the Republican party j Papers- and ,these interviews shoa ls and always has been a constructive ithatne sentiment is fast crystaliz- nartv whereas the Democratic nartv i of same. The speaker in clear and forceful language pictured what had been done for the farmer and every ! other producer and showed by com- i parison the farmer of to-day, with his high-priced products as compared with what he could get for his labor under Democratic policies and prin ciples and showed that what the la boring man needed was legislation in his favor to remove the stigma that "to labor" is a disgrace and that such relief will only come through the Republican party, the friend of the laboring man. In the course of his remarks the speaker spoke in the highest terms of Hon. John M. Morehead, who by the policies he represented had changed a district of five thousand Democratic majority Into a Republi can district and that he had done much good for the whole State. The Republicans are in fine shape in Randolph; they have paid their taxes and qualified themselves to vote and came to the Convention en masse and named the ticket com posed of the best men in the county tne Dest men m tne county ybodv is pleased and deter-,. and every mined to elect the ticket The fight; is on and Democratic mismanage- . monf rvt pnnntr affaire Ttri 1 1 ha fhnr. oughly presented to the voters of the county, and Xovember 8th will mark the passing of Democratic mis rule and mis-management in this county.

UNCLE JOE'S CAMPAIGN Sentiment li Groing Rapidly in Fa vor of Morehead for State Cttair man The People Want a Man for Chairman Who Will Bend Every Effort to Carry the State Republi can and Who Has the Capacity to Do the Work. (Special to The Caucasian.) Washington, D. C, July 19. 1910. There is no longer any question about the great and increasing pop ularity of the Taft administration. Such expression were heard on every side during the closing days of Con gress by both the regular and insur gent Republican Congressmen. They were all delighted with the wonder i n success or nrpstdpnt atr in curing the adoption of so many 0j the great reform measures promised the people In the last Republican Xa- tional platform. People from every quarter of the United States, of all shades of politi cal opinion, and of every kind of bus iness and occupation, are dropping into Washington every da The ing irom one ena oi me country to other that the Taft administra-j most strik - !ion has made f ood in a In or nnrl amnof in n i vr a aa 3 auu c uaiiv, n aj It is admitted by Democrats, as ; well as Republicans, from Maine to California, and from Texas to thej Great Lakes, that no administration ever during the first year of its four-! as Trent when the Fifth Dis var torm xnoooaAaA in .nftn. cn tnct Republican was making these important and beneficial laws, and besides, through administrative ac tion, done as much for the purifica tion and improvement of the public service as has President Taft. Uncle Joe's Campaign in the West. Uncle Joe Cannon, though over three-score-and-ten, has refused to go to the mountains or to the sea coast or on a sea voyage on a rest, but has, like the magnificent fighter which he is, plunged into the midst of the campaign for the re-election of a Republican Congress. During the excessive heat of the past week he has been speaking often two or three times a day.

Every man who voted against the Payne bill thereby voted to retain the high est duties of the Dingley law." Speaker Cannon is also reported to have said, in response to a sug gestion made by some insurgent, or the friend of some insurgent in Kan sas, that he should not speak out so plainly, but "should try to harmonize the party." la repoas. he said: "There could sot h-e harmony b 13 mea of radically dlSereat views, and who were going la opp& lit direction" He laid that if a man who is sola east if right, then the man who U gainjt wet is wrong, and the only way there caa be "har mony" is for the mas who is wrong to get rlrht.

The same doctrine fits the present situation In North Carolina, where the machine ring bosses are crying for "har mony." Morehead Gaining Rapidly for Chair- man. A prominent Republican from the Fifth Congressional District, who was here this morning, said that while it was understood that Chairman Ad ams was not supporting Congress man Morehead for State Chairman, that yet his information was that Mr. Adams' county of Guilford would : cast the majority, if not a solid, vote a. iut? next, aiaie onennon xor .Morenead tor btate Chairman. He further said that, notwithstand ing the fact that Adams and Dun can had had a serious falling out and had abused each other severely, that yet it is reported that they have had several long and close conference? during the last week or ten days, and that it is thought that they have gotten together to try to beat More head and to continue the rule of the ring bosses. He said that the infor mation that such a deal was going on between them would not hurt ' Morenead' but wou!d bring to him ; hundreds and thousands of support ers wno stand with President Taft for the abolishment of the old ref eree system. Another prominent Republican from the eastern part of the State. . observations, said that he thought conditions in the east were as favor j able to Morehead as they were In the ; west. He said that he believed that every county that had a big Republi can vote, that is, a county that had ' a voting strength in the rank and file too large to be dominated by Duncan and his few men who would i take orders from him, would every ; one be for Morehead and against the ' referee ring. Continuing, he said that he had ; heard just before coming to Wash j ington that Mr. Duncan had just be I gun to get really alarmed about the 1 situation and that he had already ; run down to his native county of : Carteret and there cracked his boss i whip over the heads of all the men : who had received Jobs from him, and those who were on the "waiting list." i and that his orders were to eet busv Carteret ;dna 10 sa e DV al1 means Varierei iuuu iul 1113 macule It sounds a little strange that the "Big Boss" should really be uneasy about his own county; yet we are informed that he has made appeals to a number of people in the county to not let it go to Morehead, because that would be a humiliation to him, as it was his native county. It might be observed in passing that it is really hard upon the pa triotic rank and file Republicans of ! Carteret County, who unquestionably ! want to see rin& ruIf overthrown and a progressive open-door policy adopt- cu, lu ue iuilu. j "i mv.u i.Uhey believe Is against the interests ! a A v,A:, o o der that the Big boss may noi oe am11U,l' V V, .rnnA nAnr1A 1 7 i ""'"" " raised.

Ev- ! erybody in the State knows, and no- Dodv knows it better than the good people of Carteret County, that Mr. j 'Duncan has not tried to build up the Republican party and elect Congress- i I ; men and carry the State. j Tfle issue is now squarely drawn, and each county take its stand for one or the other. To Keep Out Diseased Cows. Washington, D. C. July 14. An other period of watching Importa tions from South American countries to prevent the introduction of the foot and mouth disease has been in augurated by the Departments of Ag riculture and Treasury.

Memphis. Tenn.. July IT. In every town and village and county j la Tennsiw, the State's frerious po litical t-ltuation has a routed the most intense feeling. Regular Democrat j and insurgent Democrat and Repuh- j licans are linrng up their force far i the struggle which com- in Augut. when the State judiciary and county elections are held. Three of the Supreme Court judges dt-clined to enter into the Democratic primary, alleging that Governor Patterson and his admin istration had attempted to coerce the judiciary. Their partisans called a convention and these three were re-nominated along with two others. The two other justices entered into the primary and lined up with the administration party, thu securing re-nomination. Three opposition can didates were named to run against the three so-called bolting justices. The same state of affairs exis's in the contest for the judgeships of the court of civil appeals. The pardoning of Duncan Cooper, who was convicted for the slaying of the late United States Senator E. W. Carmack, has been made an issue in the present campaign. The prohibition question, which was the chief and practically sole Is sue in the last gubernatorial contest. has apparently been lost sight of, but the administration forces have open ly declared that if they are victorl- ous In the August election, steps will be taken to have the law repealed at ; the next session of the Legislature. The result. In view of the absolute ' Impossibility of the Democrats to get 1 together, can have but one result. and that will be the election of the I Republican ticket. The State barely went Democratic last time, and the break now makes success practically i assured. This will mean the break ing of the "Solid South" and the election of a Republican United ; States Senator to succeed Frazler. BIG FIRE IX XEW YORK HARBOR.

PROHIBITION THE ISSUE. IJtely Fight IHmarie Watched. to Be Made In Tetaa -Mr. lUlfey'a Attitude Dallas, Texan, July 17. State wide prohibition is the leading Usu tn a campaign now on In the Demo cratlc party to wlfct nominees for all State omcea from Governor down to constable. Primaries will be held on July 23. with about ISO candi dates to be voted on. The actlvitlea of certain men of high political standing havo added to the campaign important features other than prohibition. The atti tude of United States Senator Joseph W. Bailey is being generally watch ed, because of the influence it may have on his fortunes when he be comes a candidate for re-election two years from now. About two years ago Mr. Bailey announced that he favored the existing local option system. He Is now supporting the candidacy of Judge Polndexter, who is opposed to State-wide prohibition on the ground that it is unconstitu tional. IK) XOT WANT PROHIBITION.

Detectives are still combing the decks and steerage quarters of incoming ships for Dr. Hawley Harvey Crlppen, the London dentist suspected of murder ing his wife, formerly Belle Elmore, the actress, but the clues on this side of the Atlantic are admitted to be as frail and unpromising as they are scarce. Xo murder In years has stirred the people of England as has this. The police are extending their search to every town and hamlet of the Brit ish Isles, and if the dentist is any where within their bailiwick .they announce their intention of finding him. Some Census Returns. Washington, July 17. The Census Bureau is digesting the Immense amount of material that the enumer ators gathered a month or so ago. The total Is Impossible at this time to foretell, but It will very likely ex ceed all expectations. If the present basis for representation is Congress holds good, it now being 194,000, it Is very likely that Xorth Carolina will gain an additional member, though the basis may be increased, as has been done In other years. Texas and Oklahoma lead all the other States In gains so far, the form, er probably gaining six additional Congressmen, the latter four. This is due to the enormous emigration to those States in the past few years. DetalLi are being announced as fast as compiled and verified. V - ? !
