We publish in this issue of The Caucasian President Taft's letter to Congressman McKinley reviewing the work of the administration. It is a clear, comprehensive statement of the ! and Stripes, to stay, that every one great achievements of the Republican administration, which shows that this administration has accomplished more during its first year than any other administration in the history of the country. Every voter in North Carolina, and especially every Democratic voter, should read every word of this strong, forceful rn;l f .?c!nating docu ment. It is fa.'inating for the great truths which it states, about the progress of our wonderful country. In short, this strong and forceful statement from the President is a conclusive argument as to why a pa triotic American citizen should sup port the Republican ticket. The Charlotte Observer, in com menting upon this letter, says that it is the strongest paper that has yet emanated from President Taft. ! r f t Q A rtfti tyi at f V viro e oil xtttoI 4- a dier, and also showed that today the Vi wv """"" " taxes paid by the people of the South Governor to rent rooms.

When New England could no longer buy our raw materi als as In the past, she was left with nothing but her rocky hillsides, and even with her wonderful Yankee in genuity she was not able to make money out of these rocks. Then it was that she began to look to Canada and abroad for some place to again buy raw materials, and thus the cry has been growing stronger and stronger each year in New England for the kind of sugar-coated free trade called Reciprocity.

This caused a number of the Southern Senators who were in favor of the proposition to go to him and explain that they were placed in a most awkward position, because if they voted for his amendment they would be trying to force on the South wrhat the Democratic Senators said they did not want and would spurn if offered them. In short, the amend ment was defeated solely by the solid Democratic opposition to it. Those who desire to see the amend ment and to read the speeches made by Senator Butler and by the opposi tion, can find the same in the Con gressional record (Vol. 32), begin ning on page 1074 and following for been denied the privilege of knowing what is in that report would at least like to know why it was ever allowed to leave the Governor's office. WTiile Governor Kitchin is trying to explain his broken anti-trust promises, he might also explain, if he knows, something about that secret report and why thaf'public" document was never given to the press. For the reasonE list given, Maine will not vote for a Democratic Presi- ! dent two years from now. but it voted Democratic this year as a kind of protest against protection which is making the South get rich faster than New England. There is another condition in Maine that had a great deal to do with the election, and that is, the growing protest among prohibition ists at the failure in that State to enforce the prohibition law; also the growing sentiment in that State, as well as over the whole country, in favor of returning to the fundament al principle of local self-government, the corner stone of a republic in which the people are to rule. These are the facts and conditions that caused the Republicans of Maine this year, in their desire to protest against their party, to go to even the WHICH DEMOCRACY DOES NOT, i extent of ting with the party of AT PRESENT, ESPOUSE j reaction and negation.

The blood of poor Nalle cries aloud from the ground for vengeance. Will the peo ple of North Carolina heed the wail of this poor victim of Democratic mismanagement? In connection with this same in stitution, only a few weeks ago a poor crazed woman in Raleigh, who had attempted self-destruction, was denied admission on the grounds that there was "no room," and in consequence she had to be placed in the common jail, without medical aid or nursing, and among crimi- platform says: "Its declaration for local self government in North Carolina must favorably impress every be liever in the fundamental Dem ocratic principle which North Carolina Democracy does not, at present, espouse."

Indeed, that t the traditional history of the Demo cratic party, in this State. It is well known that the Demo cratic party opposed the great p'.w of internal Improvements, which u championed by Governor Moreheii and carried forward with such i ac cess in his administration. The Dem ocratic candidate In that carapairs opposed internal improvements izi denounced it as an unconstitutional scheme. After the system of interu; improvements was started and i came popular, then the Democ.Tj.' party dropped in line and decrrtf that they had always been in '.112 of such a measure. In short, the re cord of the Democratic party is u oppose any form of progress, but it always drops into line after the thing has been done. Let those who want to see a parcel post established, and other great re form measures along the same 1: for the advancement and uplift of all of our people, cast their votes for the party that has the wisdom and the courage to face every problem and condition and to solve it wisely for the welfare of the whole nation This is why the Republican party has become to be known as the party of progress and prosperity, and ty the Deniccraiic party is known as it the party of re ction and negation This h, why the Republican party, with Its rtcord of achievement, aad its great constructive policies iookiss to the future, appeals so strongly to the young men of North Carolina and of every State in the Union. The young men of North Carolina are today coming to the Republican party by the thousands, and they i'J continue to come and place our oil State in the column of the great na tional party of progress and prosper ity, and when they do no State in the Union will become richer and greater faster than the Old North State.
