Me letter kon at you cao n4 to IM toicu Tbr editor ! not repoD'bie for the viewa ex pre to ieUr published.) WANTS MAJORITY TO HULK. Jo!irrtn Ouunty Iteimblican I Sorry IotmaMrr-Kditor Standi i Trying to Disrupt the Tarty. Kditor The Caucasian. Dear Sir: For the first time in rny life, and I am now most thlrty seven years old, I feel Impressed to write a short article for print in your valuable paper. Now, I do not intend to say anything to hurt any one, for we hae too much confusion among us already. Hut as a Repub lican who wants to see the party suc cessful, I am ashamed of somethings I sec in print between our Repub lican friends, for in union there is strength, and without union there is strife and confusion. If we as Re publicans ever expect to accomplish anything we must lay our own differ-fiir-cs asidf and fight our enemy, the Democratic party. It seeni3 to me that some of our Republican friends here in Johnston for some reason are very much displeased with our present State organization. Now, as I see it, this is wrong, for our pres ent State organization could not have been elected had it not been by a majority vote in the State Conven tion; and I suppose, by a tremendous majority at that. As for myself, I am always willing for the majority to rule. When we fail to elect our choice as leaders in the State we should remember that we have the choice of others If after our last State Convention the Republicans of North Carolina as a unit would have labored as hard for party success as they did to elect their choice as State Chairman, I believe we would have won a victory; but It seems to me that some of our Republican friends have not worked in harmony with our State organization as they should, thereby weakening our strength, and I am sorry to say, that our County Chairman of the County of Johnston has seen fit through , the columns of the Smithfield Journal, of which he is editor, to attack both our present State Chairman and Senator Butler. It seems to me that our County Chairmen should work for peace in stead of stirring up confusion. He seems to think that Mr. Butler hurt the party here in Johnston by mak ing one speceh in Benson; but I think that if Senator Butler could have made us a speech in each of the sixteen townships and Mr. Standi had done his duty in getting Repub lican and dissatisfied Democrats that he spoke of out to have heard him expose the rottenness of their party, and at the same time answered their lying qharges against him and also prove that their charges were false, then I think those Democrats who were disgusted with the doings of their party and many Republicans who stayed at home and did not vote, would have voted with us, then we would have won a victory. Mr. Editor, in my opinion 80 per cent of the Republicans of John ston County would have been glad for Mr. Butler to have spoken at Smithfield and at other places in the county. In my judgment, Senator Butler is the greatest asset in the Republican party to-day. While he has not been asking for an office, who has given more of their time working for the party than has he? Why certainly, he was the Moses that helped to lead us to victory the last time the party has won a victory in this State. Then pray tell me, shall we join the Democrats and thereby help to crush him? For myself, I say, No, a thousand times, No. Now, I hope I have not said any thing that will offend anybody, for it is my desire to have the good will of everybody, and especially do I want the good will of all Republicans. Now, let's all lay our differences aside as I said before and have peace in stead of confusion. Let's don't cuss each other through the newspapers and thereby give the Democrats am munition to fight us with; but line up and be ready for the coming cam paign and go to work and keep at it. In conclusion, I want to say to Mr. Neighbors of Benson, that I heartily concur with him in his article of last week in The Gaucaslal. From a true Republican whose most desire is to see Republican success. W. E. DUPREE. Smithfield, N. C, R. F. D. 7, April 8,1912. Favors Morehead, Settle and Butler as State Leaders. Editor Caucasian: I wish to tell you as best I oan what I stand for politically. (1) I am for Theodore Roosevelt for President first last and all the time. (2) I am for John Motley Moore head for Chairman of the Republican State Executive Committee. (3) I am unalterably in favor of the Butlers for anything they may want. We have no truer Republicans in North Carolina than the- Butlers, and if some .disgruntled '., Reublicans in North Carolina woulrt pit their shoulders to the wheel and work like the Butlers work, I dare say it would not be long before North Carolina would be in the Republican column. We who are for Roosevelt must not loot fight of the fact that there are some favoring him for President lim ply to gain control of th State or ganization In order to put It back in to the bands of the old referee ty tcro. We don't care if Mr. More head is for Taft; that aam't got any thing to do with who shall be our Chairman of the State Co mini tie.. I have ba watching Mr. Morehead carefully, and hare come to the con clusion that we have never had a Chairman that has done more to build up the party in the State than he has done. One Roosevelt shouter, Mr. Lusk U a great sample isn't he? Mr. Rose velt believes In the rule of the peo ple. Mr. Lusk is not even in favor of local self-government. which means nothing more nor less than the rule of the people. My advise is. go for Roosevelt for President; retain the present State organization, and add one more to it. and Incorporate In our State platform a plank declar ing for local self-government and nominate Tom Settle for Governor, and then watch the result. Now, just a word to your Wake County Republicans. Let me advise you to retain as your County Chair man, Mr. lister Butler. You have no need for a change; If you will keep Butler it won't be long before he will do for Wake County what the Butlers did old Sampson County. CHATHAM REPUBLICAN. Pittsboro, N. C, April 5, 1912. Wants Kvery Republican to Attend j and Voice His Sentiments. ! Editor Caucasian: I am a reader) and subscriber of your paper, and 1 j ask for small space to express my views on a subject much discussed at this time. I am not an office-holder Federal, State, or county just a plain citizen. I notice a great deal being said about an instructed or an uninstruct ed delegation to the Chicago Conven tion. Now, I wish to ask, How un der our plan of organization, adopted two years ago at Greensboro, we can evade or get around Section 9 of our Plan of Organization which gives minority representation? Here is the language of Section 9 I refer to: "That in all primaries elect ing delegates, a poll of the vot ers present shall be taken In or der to ascertain the strength of all officers to be voted for, and said votes shall be prorated and cast in County, District or State Conventions in the first ballot according to the strength of each officer voted for, at said pri maries, and the delegates repre senting the minority shall be named by the minority." The writer of this article had the pleasure of writing minority repre sentation into our plan of organiza tion, which had been defeated two years before at Charlotte by the ma chine crowd, and one we are going to so soon repudiate, that which gives to the people fair primaries, by which they can prevent a few selfish poli ticians from manipulating the nomi nations in all our conventions, and often as it has happened in the past defeating the will of the majority? Under Section. 9 of our Plan of Or ganization every man who attends the primary has the assurance that his vote shall be cast at the nominat ing convention on the first ballot just as he cast it in the primary. It's one of the simplest and fairest pri mary systems I .hae ever seen, and if adhered to and carried out to the letter, will prevent discord and dis satisfaction, insuring to every man who comes out for office is put to no expense, and is assured a fair deal in all nominating conventions. In the fight for office let's not lose sight of this simple but fair means given to the people by which they can go out to our primaries and vote for the men of their choice, knowing that their vote will be counted as cast at the nominating convention, whether they be present or not. If I am cor rectly informed, a fight is going to be made to eliminate minority repre sentation from our Plan of Organiza tion, and let's all see to it that no such backward step is taken. The sentiment in this State is divided be tween Mr. Taft and Colonel Roose velt, and each should be given his pro rata part of Ndrth Carolina's vote at Chicago, if it be the will of the people, expressed in our primaries. While I am making no fight for eith er candidate, I am partial to the re nomination of President Taft because I believe he is the embodiment of progressive conservatism and opposed to any violent changes in our repre sentative governmental system. I think it too soon for us as a party to abandon that system under which we have grown and developed into one of the greatest nations of the world. The "initiative" and "referendum" and "recall" may be suited to smal. towns. and sage brush boroughs, but it has not been tried sufficiently for us to abandon our present system for one which may destroy and pull down the great Government which our an cestors established, and which to-day is the wonder and admiration of the world. f Let's go . slow., and give to every candidate for office a square deal. The will of the people should be respected, and the trampling up on tneir will in the pkst by self-seeking, jtimcPserying politicians has dole more to create dissatisfaction with our present system than all things else. . Let's encourage every Republi can to go out to our primaries, and assure him that his wishes as ex- prete4 at the prlssarie a!l be heeded and respected and popular repreestatle gorernisect will taka oa new life and many of these new fancied Ideas will die a natural death. Let' have peace and conerd. and present at the polli In November a united front and victory will be achieved. Yours truly. E. II. M0RKI3. Mock.ville. N. C. April 3. 112. KXIXjUSK MR. N'KlfiHHOfrS I-ET-TKIL Mr. Standi' Claim Not Supported by Fact The Home Ounnty of the Hutler Made CIreat fiain Lai Kleciion How Standi Coald Help. Editor of the Caucasian, Raleigh. N. C. ! Dear Sir: I read the attack which the Smithfield Journal made on State Chairman Morehead and on ex-Senator Butler, and I have also read the reply to it which you published this week from Mr. C. F. Neighbors, of Benson. ; While the reply is fine, and to the point, I want, however, to add a, word to it by calling attention to the, fact that Sampson County, the homej of the Butlers, made a big gain In the ; last election and has continued to gain at every election for many years. Sampson County furnished a major ity big enough for us to carry the; senatorial district composed of Sampson. Harnett and Johnston, when Johnston County polled the vote that it ought to poll. Now, If Mr. Standi, as county chairman of Johnston County, had done his duty at the last election, with the increased majority from Sampson, we would not have lost the two senators from this senatorial dis trict. One thing Is clear to every body who wants to know the truth, and that is that the Butlers did their full duty in the last campaign, and have done it In every campaign, and Mr. Standi ought to be co-operating with them Instead of fighting them. . If he would do this, and was the right man for chairman, his county would go Republican like Sampson does. HARNETT. The Landmark learns that Reuben Combs, who walked away from the State Prison on the 25th of March, had prior to that time hid out a suit of clothes with a view to escaping and this fact was discovered. It is strange that Reuben was allowed so much liberty in view of the gravity of his offense and his long sentence. Statesville Landmark.
