The Democratic party la the State of Maine is appealing to Prof. Wil ton and to Governor Marshall to help them oat in their fight on the whis key question. Governor Marshall was elected WHO WANTS TO SPLIT TIIK PAKTY, AND WHY? Every man who wants to see the Republican party grow and triumph In this State, wants to see the State Convention devise some way to keep the party from splitting in this cam paign. This can easily be done by having a Republican Presidential pri mary on the day of election, Just as the Democrats will hold a Senatorial primary on that day. One thing is certain, and that is that the result of this campaign will so clarify the situation that if the party does not split in this campaign it will easily and naturally act to gether and continue to grow in the future, even If it has to do it under a new name. Just as the old Whig party was rejuvinated and continued to live under the name of Republi can. Then why split the party open now, when it is so easy to act together, by referring the only point of difference,, Oiat ia Prr'slrlpnMal plr-r.tors. to a Dri- -""- '"I - ' - I 1 mary?

But the "gigantic pension f teal" mentioned by the Observer l enough alone to damn any Congress. In the Senate for six Congresses Even with this long service in the Senate, Mr. Simmons was not the ranking Democrat on the Finance Committee that had charge of the tariff bill. The ranking Senator was Bailey, of Texas, and here comes the interesting part of the story. Bailey has long been a recognized authority on the tariff question. He was the Democratic leader as a mem ber of the House of Representatives, rand no one has claimed that any Democrat In either chamber under stood the tariff question better. Then why is it that Mr. Bailey has not taken the lead to represent the Democrats as the ranking member of the committee in this most important contest? It is simply because Mr. Bailey, having become so smirched with Standard Oil, and realized that he could not be re-elected from Tex as, was anxious to help to elect a man whom heand his big friends wanted to see kept in the Senate. Since Mr. Bailey could not be re-elected, he did not want Simmons to be defeated. keep a man like Simmons in the Sen- nearly every Republican county In ' ate. the State to the Democrats.

WHY SHOULD FARMERS FOR WILSON? wants to do this, and who but the put Mr. Simmons in his shoes to give Democrats themselves can be profited him as much prominence as possible, by if WILSON AGAIN PLEASES THE TRUSTS AND SPECIAL INTER ESTS. Before their nominations, both Col onel Roosevelt and Professor Wilson were fighting the bosses, the agents of the big special interests in the va rious States. Colonel Roosevelt is still fighting the bosses, while Pro fessor Wilson has quit. Professor Wilson has announced that he will not attempt to interfere with the domination of the bosses in the va rious States, and he is now being .praised and supported by all of these bosses. This means that Tammany Hall will control the Democratic nomina tions in New York and dictate the nominees for all Congressmen and Senators. The same thing will be true in Indiana, Illinois, and Penn sylvania, and all the other States. This means that even if Professor Wilson was elected that his adminis tration will be absolutely dominated by the bosses, who were in complete charge of the Baltimore Convention. If Simmons, the boss machine lead er in this State, should be elected to the Senate, he will be working hand in the hope it will help him for re election. Now, inasmuch as Mr. Bailey i3 a much abler man than Mr. Simmons, why should not North Car olina invite Mr. Bailey to come to the State and let us elect him to the Sen atte, if we must have a man of the Bailey stripe? "WHY A POPULIST SHOULD VOTE THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET." The Charlotte Observer, in an edi torial, says: "Why are all the Populists in this State flocking to Roosevelt? The Democrats were the first to steal the Populist platform and ought to be entitled to Populist preferences by right of priority." The reason which the Charlotte Observer gives why a Populist should vote the Democratic ticket are not convincing. It must be admitted that all Populists are men of enough in telligence and force of character to have opinions of their own and the manhood and intelligence to express them and vote for them. Therefore, these Populists cannot be fooled by the fact that the Democratic party stole their platform to try to get their votes. rne Democratic party dm root a "number of Populist in 1896 by steal- in glove with these bosses in all the other States. : ing the Populist platform, but it can The trusts and the special interests' not any longer fool any of them, be will be entirely satisfied with such a cause that party simply stole the Congress. Populist platform to capture the Pop ulist vote, but since that time the Democratic party has shown by its action that it did not believe in a single plank in the People's party platform. In the very next campaign, the HAILE1T AND HIS FRIENDS WANT SUMMONS RE-ELECTED. It Is noticeable that every now and then the Simmons organs in this State break out in a new line of praise for their candidate, and all take up the same tune at the same time. This democratic party sold out "bag and would indicate that the tip to them is baSSaSe" to Wal1 Street and nomi given by their leader, Mr. Simmons, nated Jude- Parker for President himself. The last Democratlc National Con- One of the last effusions that has ventin Baltimore was a Wall been going ,the rounds of all the SIm- street convention. The trusts and mons organs is to the effect that the' monopolies had the convention so in State is greatly honored in the fact that one of her Senators is the real Democratic leader of the Senate, and that State pride, if nothing else, should cause North Carolina to keep a man who has within twelve years acquired such prominent leadership in that body. I its grip that they were able to name the same Judge Parker as temporary chairman of the convention. Mr. Ryan and Mr. Belmont were there in person to give their orders adn see the Job executed. It will be remembered that four teen out of the twenty-four dele- There may be some newspapers and gates from North Carolina voted for Judge Parker. They went there to nominate Harmon or Underwood or Clark as their first preference. How ever, they became frightened at the politicians in this State that think the above is a fair and truthful state ment as to the prominence that Mr. Simmons is now occupying in the Senate, but Mr. Simmons himself knows better. Therefore, if he is fur nishing these tips to his supporters in the State, he is deliberately try ing to mislead the people. A Senator does not reach thetp of committees in the Senate onac count of his ability or special fitness. The law of the United States Senate is seniority that is, a man on any i committee, no matter how mediocre ' l his ability, or how poor his standing 4 i candidacy pgjCol. Roosevelt, and this forced jtnem to run to cover and nom inate Governor Wilson, and since governor jWilson's speech of accept ance he t seems entirely satisfactory to the Wall Street element. Mr. Belmont's paper; the New York Times, is loud in its praises of Governor Wilson's speech of ac ceptance, and says that his speech is the real platform and is satisfactory to the business interests. Mr. Bel- The Raleigh News and Observer, in a leading editorial, headed "Far mers Should Support Wilson," says: "The farmers of this country should feel an especial concern in the success of Democracy, for it is to Democracy that they must look for legislation, which will treat them fairly and just ly, and relieve them of the ex actions under which they labor because of antagonistic Republi can legislation, a fact which is I being recognized by the farmers I throughout the country." j Now, Mr. Farmer, after you have read the above from the Democratic ; organ, we suggest that you turn and read Governor Wilson's speech of ac-j ceptance and see what he proposes, i if he is elected, to do do for the far-! mers and wealth-producers. Gover- j nor Wilson, in discussing the high cost of living, proposed as a remedy that such legislation should be en acted as would cause the dollar to buy more than it will buy now. j Every millionaire and coupon clip per in the United States is in favor of that policy. The class of people j who do not create wealth, but who j have a great deal of money, desire to make each dollar buy as much as pos- j sible of the products of the laborer i and the farmer. In order that there may be no mis understanding about Governor Wil son's position, we quote his exact words: position that Prof. Wilson and Gorer nor Marshall have taken on the pro hibition question, that they have no tified the National Committee that they do not think it wise for Gover- nor Marshall to make any speeches , in that State. "It is not as easy for us to live as it used to be. Our money will not buy as much. Higher wages, even when we get them,, yield us no great comfort. We used to be better off with less, because the dollar could buy so much more." There you have Prof. Wilson's remedy in a nut shell. Now, if you want the dollar to buy more of your labor and products, then vote for Prof. WTilsonand let us have another Democratic administra tion. Our people well remember that that was exactly the condition we had under the Grover Cleveland administration. At that time, one dollar would buy twenty-five pounds of cotton, which made cotton sell, when it sold at all, at four cents a pound. Everything was cheap then, but nobody except the rich could buy even the neces saries of life, no matter how cheap' they were. The Democratic program as we had it under Grover Cleveland and as squarely declared for by Prof. ' Wilson, is for a dear dollar and aj cheap man. Those who want that condition should vote the Democratic TickeL WORSE THAN A DO-NOTHING CONGRESS. The Charlotte Observer, in a lead ing editorial, says: "In regard to leave asked by Representative Underwood to print in The Congressional Rec ord an analysis of the business accomplished during the session of Congress now near its end, the Washington correspondent of the New York Journal of Com merce notes that all those pieces of legislation receiving the most publicity have, without excep tion, come to naught. The tariff program was from the first man ifestly designed only for political consumption, not as a means of getting anything done. Out of all the array of investigations conducted at enormous public expense in the hope of getting some ammunition against some body none has had the slightest result. The two loudest and most expensive were those into the steel trust and the so-called money trust; the first of these merely brought out facts which had been published in newspa pers and magazines many times before, while the second was a fiasco, quite. "The plain truth is that in stead of playing politics to the neglect of the regular business of the Government even delib erately sacrificing regular busi ness by use of the 'rider' device Congress should have wound up long ago. The thing it most clearly should have done, name ly, cut off its members' twenty cent mileage graft and similar perquisites, it refused to do. If it accomplished anything politi cally helpful out of all its en deavors, the gigantic pension steal constitutes that same; and nobody is proud of this." CATAWIIA CXH NTY SKTS THE IACT The Republican County Executive Committee of Catawba has refused to endorse the gag rule which the State Committee has tried to force upon the people. All Republicans are in vited to take part. They declare that Instead of trying to read men out of the party, they want to continue to build up and carry the county and State. We clip the following from the report of the meeting by the Hickory Times-Mercury: "As to the State and National tickets, the delegates to the State Convention will go as they did before. go as Republicans and claim seats In same as such, rec ognizing no authority except that of the people whose delegated representatives they are. And as near as possible, they will carry out the will of the people at home. They will act on the prin ciple that the State Committee is not a Nary Board of Health to decide whetherone is qualified to abide the ship or not. or are prepared to enjoy liberty In case the ship sails, or is worthy of a political heaven in case the ship sinks. Like in the campaign of 1896, let every man vote his choice for President, but be a unit when it comes to the State and county tickets. They believe in local self-government, first of all, because It means more to the average tax-payers. 'In things essential, unity; and in all things, charity,' will be their bat tle cry."

"THE BEST PAPER IN THE STATE" i "The Caucasian is the best paper keep him in his eat. to whitewash Senator l n: our subscribers are all saying. A I number "of subscribers write that their neighbors who do not take it want to borrowr it each week before they can finish reading It. We sug gest that subscribers who are thus worried by their neighbors, to write us for enough sample copies to give one to each neighbor, and then get these neighbors to give them their! subscriptions. The Caucasian is on the right side of all public questions and is a terror to twin bosses like Duncan and Simmons who try to use both parties to serve the same interests. TRUST THE ONLY EFFECTIVE REMEDY. Collier's Weekly says that Roose velt's platform and program lead in evitably to government ownership of railroads, telepraphs, express compa nies, and all other natural monopo lies. That paper also declares that it favors this program, because the government ownership of these na tural monopolies is the only remedy for the greatest of the trust evils. Collier's Weekly has been very friendly to Prof. Wilson and the pro gressive Democrats, but admits that The above is only a partial and f the Democratic platform and the mild statement of the many sins of policies outlined by Prof. Wilson do omission and commission of this jt offer any such certain and defi Democratic Congress.

When "Judge" Ewart left the Leg islature two years ago he announced he was then out of politics which statement was probably truer than he thought. A few weeks ago he at tempted to get in the race for a mem ber of the Legislature from Hender son County, but found that his party was bitterly opposed to him and was forced to withdraw from the race. The "Judge" is now probably aware that the voters do not consider it the 4 proper thing .'or a man to be elected to the Legis'atnre as a Republican and then line up with the Democrats.
