Sin 'all. organization" Democrats who . . court-house last Saturday . ..-.J the following call: . . if-rsignefl Democrats here ,. ... r-r a mass meeting of the . r i ;c voters of Wake County, ). at the court-house, in the Kaleigh, on Saturday, Oeto- 10, at 12 o'clock, noon. purpose or this call is to a ticket of Mruigtit Demo- r.r all the county offices and t r Legislature. o r reasons for making this call . 1 ) Because the ticket put out by tr self-styled ' Reformers' inas3 --fing and nominated at the prim-. ar in June is not a Democratic ::,:. It is a 'Mugwump ticket. !!. head of the ticket. Dr. Sikes, ad ;:..! in his opening speech at the M. :ropolitan Hall that he had bolt- . , : the National Democratic platform !!G or 1900 and voted for Mc il :::!, and that two years ago he ! ; fl and refused to vote the Dem - r.it ic county and legislative ticket. !:: his speech he said, in substance, ii ;t he had no apologies to make for ::,y of these things, but, on the con 'v.iiy, would do so again under sim :: i- fircumstances. Such Democracy :.- a Democracy of disruption and dis-..n!-r; yet Dr. Sikes is foisted on the I rnocrats of this county as their i'-;.ler and as chief promulgator of I. rnocratic doctrines! Then, too, it is well-known that both Mr. I. II. Lynn and Mr. H. E. Pace have been lor several years active and recog nized Republicans. We do not feel that true Democrats are called upon to vote for such men, or for those who are on the ticket with them and who aided in having them nomi nated, i i "(2) Our second reason for call ing the mass meeting is, that the ticket nominated in the June pri- maries was nominated by the Repub- ; lican votes. The so-called 'reform ers' a few days before the primaries, recognized that the regular Demo crats of this county was the choice of the Democratic party in this county, and they began at once to run in all the Republicans can gamer irom tnem witn amy sure that could be persuaded to vote, ; 7 what is present-day orthodox doc and at the same time had their ! trine. It is not going too far to say organ, the News and Observer, to ; that Democratic authority can be falsely and fraudulently charge in its i quoted in favor of and against prac daily issues that the regular Demo- ; tically every known political and eco cratic ticket had arranged to steal ! nomical proposal. A sad state of the election and to vote Republicans muddle exists on the Republican fn the primary. They knew such a i side but its stream is clear aad crys charge was false and was made to tal compared with the Democratic vule their own fraudulent methods, j muddiness. Mr. Hearst has indicat U is well-known that some of the j ed that he proposes to be a Demo townshins where their ticket cot the ! crat this year; so have many of Mr. biggest majorities cast many more votes than the total number of all Democrats living in those townships. If such methods are to be tolerated in Democratic primaries, then it will he hard for real Democrats to ever receive a nomination. "(3) Our third reason for calling the mass meeting to put out a true Democratic ticket is, that the cam paign of the so-called 'Reformers,' for thirty days or more prior to the primaries, was one of bitter and cruel vilifirntinn. ivinc nn.i misrpnrpspnta- tion. It was conducted, in chief, by b' duI-v authorized agents and edi Josenhus Daniels and J. W. Bailey. ' tors, and it contains what is to be but the candidates whom these two i renrpspntrf not onlv nnnrovPd of i what Daniels and Bailev said and j did, but thev also ODenlv endorsed in I thoir nomnoio-n cnAAntiAO v. foicn I malicious pharos nnrt misrenrpsonta- i tions made by Daniels and Bailey ! against the candidates on the regular ! Democratic ticket. They knew that not one of the court-house officers had done anything that would justi fy the charges made, yet they charg ed with fraud, with corruption and even with attempts to bring about murder! Was there ever such a vil lainous political campaign waged against- Democrats by men who claimed to be Democrats? We do not believe that any man of character, whether Democrat or not, justifies such a campaign as was conducted by the self-styled 'Reformers.' "We do not think Democrats are called on to support the ticket nomi nated at the June primaries, for the reasons above given, and we think that it would be a great misfortune to the Democratic party for such a ticket to be elected. If they are elected, then in the future primaries will be open for everybody to vote in, whether Democrats or not; if ther are elected, then in the future Jose phus Daniels, J. W. Bailey, Dr. Sikes. and others of their kind, will feel justified in destroying the character and reputation of any Democrat by malicious misrepresentations and false charges, whenever it suits their purpose to do so; if they are. elect ed, then, in the future, mugwumps, Republicans and men of all kinds of political ralth, will feel that they have the rleht to go into our pri maries and seek nominations at the hands of Democrats. We claim that Democratic primaries should not be prostituted to any such purposes, and we want true Democrats of Wake County who think as we do about these matters to come to the mass meeting on Saturday, October 1st, x y j. u.

"The size of the Democratic vic tory that will be announced on the morning of November 9th, will bo staggering. It will include an over whelming majority is the House of Representatives and a gain of many United States Senators. Ohio, the President's own State, will bo lost to the Republicans. New York, the state of the ex-President, will be sweepingly Democratic. Majorities will be so large that people will tire of computing them." New York World, Thursday, Aug. 25, 1910. If the result is thus certain, and everything is over except the shout ing, it is pertinent to inquire what the country will get as a consequence of the revolution, says the New York Globe. If the overwhelming major ity of us are to invest our ballots as indicated what dividends will be paid? What is the Democratic pro gramme? What will we be voting In? Practical persons desire an an : swer to these questions, for political matters affect business, and business . conditions affect every man's mate rial welfare. It is hardly worth while to go : back to the Democratic platform to . get a statement of Democratic pur- Pse. Mr. Bryan wrote that plat- form, and recent events have indi cated that Mr. Bryan is no longer in command. To what, then, shall we turn for a statement? The voices of individual Democrats are numerous, but they are contradictory. No one Cleveland's friends, so have not a few former Republicans and inde pendents, some of them on the ground that the Republican party is entirely too radical and others on the ground that it isn't radical enough. In the absence of other authority, one turns with some measure of hope to the Campaign Book recently is sued by the Democratic Congression al Committee. Here is something official. Party funds have paid for its printing. It has been compiled regarded as the latest orthodox Democratic doctrine. It is a copious book having no less than 515 pages. But alas! the reading of it but in- creases confusion. What will the Democratic party attempt to do if it ets control of the House and Sen ate? 11 is not stated not even hint- ed. There is plentiful complaint, page after page, of what the Repub licans have done, but not a sugges tion concerning the line of coduct it is proposed to substitute Mexico's Brilliant Reception Greatest Event in Its History. Mexico City, Sept. 23. The most brilliant and costly event in the his tory of Mexico took place here to-day when 7,000 people were guests of President Diaz at a monster recep tion and ball in the national palace. The affair proved to be the most not able event of the month's centennial of independence celebration. For two hours a constant stream of automo biles and carriages poured through the three carriage entrances, while hundreds entered the building at the places designated for those who went on foor. The electrical decorations, both interior and exterior, surpassed anything of the kind ever seen in the capital. Over 30,000 incandescent lights were used in the decorative scheme on the saloons, ball rooms and dining rooms, while 10,000 lights Illuminated the exterior of the palace. Shortly after 11 o'clock the resi dent and visiting diplomats, includ ing ambassadors and envoys to the celebration from foreign govern ments, were ushered into a special dining hall. The remaining guests were served in other apartments Thirty-nine nations were represented In the brilliant assembly. The mem bers of the commission of the United States were present. People who did not own their private conveyances and who had neglected up to noon today to engage them were compelled to pay as much as $100 for a carri age to take them to the palace. The feature of the celebration fes tivities today was the laying of the cornerstone of the legislative palace at which President Diaz officiated. WAKK ItKIHBLICAX rLATPOllM.

At the County Contention, held August tb. Ihf ilepublican of Wake County, adopted the follow ing rholution; "We, th Republican of Wak? County, In convention anbled. do hereby adopt the following reolu tions, to-wlt: "(1) That we re-afSrm our true allegiance to the National Republi can party and its principles and com mend and endorse the present Re publican National administration. "(2) We hereby declare In favor of local self-government In Its broad est, truest sense, and direct our dele gates elected to the State Conven tion to use every honorable means to have the State Convention to so de clare its platform. "(3) We hereby re-affirm the dec laration made in our county plat form two years ago favoring the put ting of the county officers of Wake County on a salary basis with reas onable salaries. (4) e hereby declare Tor a more economical administration of our county and city affairs and the lowering of our tax rate in both county and city. "(5) That the delegates elected by this convention as its representatives to the State Convention to be held at Greensboro on August 10th, be, and they are hereby, instructed to vote for the Hon. John M. Morehead for State Chairman of the Republican party in North Carolina for the next two years. At the re-convened meeting on September 17th, these were supple mented by the following: In addition to the platform adopt ed by the Republican County Con vention, held on the 6th day of Au gust, 1910, we hereby endorse the platform as passed b; our State Con vention on August 10, 1910, and we desire to further go on record as favoring in Wake County the purg ing of the jury box and the selection of men on juries who more properly represent the real citizenship of the county the remedying of the pres ent system of double taxation the unfair manner and enforcement of road taxation allowing school dis tricts the selection and election of their school officers. We demand a fair election law, which will permit every qualified elector to cast one free and untrammeled ballot, without interference or dictation. We favor the depositing the funds collected by the officers of this coun ty and school funds in such banks as will allow 4 per cent interest, com pounded quarterly and hereby pledge our candidates to such offices, if elected, to so deposit said funds. "Whereas, We learn that many farmers in Wake County in conven tion assembled, have resolved to re quest their representatives in the next Legislature to take such steps as will secure the establishment of the office of County Commissioner of Agriculture; and Whereas, They are the best judges of the necessity of such a commis sioner; therefore, be it $ "Resolved, That the Republican party in Wake County hereby de clares if its candidates for the Legis lature are elected to give favorable consideration to such legislation and the establishment of such a commis sioner." Col. Harris then offered the fol lowing resolutions which were adopted: "Resolved, That this convention condemn the action of the County Board of Education at the instiga tion and upon the recommendation of Supt. Judd, in consolidating the public schools in Swift Creek and House's Creek townships, against the most earnest protest of a very large majority of the patrons of these schools; and to their great annoy ance and inconvenience. "Resolved, That we demand that the law be amended so as to elect the Superintendent of Schools of this county by the voters of this county, and that the nomination of the father of Mr. Judd was for the express pur pose of continuing Superintendent Judd in his present position, and we therefore urge the people to vote against him." Then and Now. Robeson Advance. When the Democratic party was In control of the National Government and passed the Democratic tariff law the prices of all kinds of farm produce went down below the cost of produc tion. The factories closed down and turned millions of laboring people out of employment, thousands of whom tramped the country and beg ged for bread because they could not find employment. They wanted to work, but no one was able to hire them and pay them wages. Our Dem ocratic friends then told us that the cause of low prices and shut downs was due to the fact that our people by industry had produced an over production in every line too much cotton, too much bread and meat, too much manufactured goods of every description, more than the world could consume, that we were living too fast, that we must economize. diversify our crops more and return m&4Ht, as 4 ??s W4 for rtli?, but lb party and prty l4ert to -34 asd fr illrer.

The Republicans of Tbomasville were call ed to meet 1h Finch's hall to organ ize a Republican club. At the time appointed it was fonnd that the hall was too small (there are two hun dred chairs in it) and the meeting adjourned to meet la the armory. where undoubtedly the largest num ber of voters ever assembled there were present. E. F. Westmoreland was electee! president; C. M. Hoover, J. W. Pea cock, and J. T. Cramer, vice-presi dents; L. B. Thomas, secretary; A. II Ragan, treasurer. Two hundred and forty-one gave their names in as members and J. R. McCrary, Chairman Davidson Execu tive Committee, gave the reasons why Davidson County should be Republi can. Aeroplanes Prove of Value to Army. Grandvilliers. France, Sept. 17. General Brun, French Minister of War, and the entire army are enthu siastic over the achievements of the aeroplanes and dirigible balloons during the military maneuvers which ended today. The military experts are unaai mous in the opinion that the air ma chines are destined not only to play ian important role in the future wars but to greatly modify, if not revolu tionize, army strategy. Henceforth it will be almost impossible to con ceal the position and movements of troops and so will be eliminated prac tically the surprise flank operations which have decided so many critical battles. llig Gun on Georgia llurst.s. Washington, Sept. 23. While the battleship Georgia was attempting to hit a target at a distance of six miles yesterday, during battle practice of the Atlantic fleet, the left 12-inch gun in the forward turret exploded, but without injury to any of the twelve men in the turret. A brief report of the accident received today from Rear Admiral Schroeder, stated that the muzzle of the gun, as far back as the forward end of the jacket, was blown off and that the big rifle prac tically has been injured beyond re pair. The Drain on the State. The Lincolnton Times. It is estimated that two million dollars leave the State every year for liquor. What do we get in exchange for it? We get, not only drunken ness and adultery and fornication which follow and go arm in arm with lquor, but we get lying, perjury an theft. It is believed our Lincoln County sends out $2,000 or more a year of this amount. Hon. Marion Butler's failure to show up at the county convention was a great disappointment to our people. There was a large crowd present and many people traveled for miles, a long distance, just to meet Senator Butler and hear him discuss the political issues.- We learn that Mr. Butler was on his way, and by close call missed railroad connections at Wilmington, whereupon he ap plied to the Seaboard authorities for a special train to bring him up to Lumberton, but it was about 2 o'clock in the day before the special was gotten in readiness. Realizing that it would be at least 4 o'clock in the afternoon before he could reach Lum berton, and that the people from the country would be left town by that hour, Mr. Butler countermanded the order. However, Senator Butler is in the fight to the finish, and will visit Robeson later on before the campaign is over. Robeson Advance. HOW GOOD NEWS SPREADS.
