ROYAL DEBUTE
BETWEEN CK

getore an In nse Audience
of 5000 Peox The Can
didates Put i .ith Their
Claims For The Governor
slip. The Pivot of The Discussion
Was as to Position of Each
Speaker on The Subject of
( Trusts, Corporations And
Railroads.
Both candidates agreeing that they
did not differ on basic Democratic
principles to any material extent,
jltKsrs 1-oc-ko Craig and W. W. Kiteh
in locked horns last night at the Audi
torium en the proposition laid down
l.v Mr Kitehin that he was a fierce op
ponent of trusts while Mr. Craig was
U Mr. Kitehin said that the American
Tniv.eco company was so bitterly op
posed to iiiin that he could not find a
hall in Durham to speak in and had
to stand en a dry goods box in the
oivu air. Ho said that because of his
vote in congress against the Southern
raihvav fast mail subsidy, the Southern
nilvav had become nis reienuess ana
imi'laca
!i!e enemy. He intimated, if
. i i l i . Jfchmt
he did not actually cuarge, uiai uie m - -
dices of these great corporations
had thrust Mr. Craig into the cam
paisn for the governorship purely to
defeat him (Mr. Kitcnin).
Mr. Craig ridiculed the idea that the
trusts were supporting him by showing
that Mr. James S. Manning, of Dur
ham, the man who had rendered harm
less the hill in tnc last legislature aim
ed at the tobacco trust, was Mr. Kitch
in' state manager, and that a large
number of Southern Railway lawyers,
who were actively in the campaign,
were county managers for Mr. Kitehin.
if Mr. Kitchm's own statements were
true, that the trusts sent wireless mes
sage's to their employes as' to whom
they should favor or oppose for office,
then it was very strange that no such
Tireless: messages had gone to the to
baeco trust or the Souhern railway's
ineuds and attorneys
Mnting out that in Durham, the
hm of the tobacco trust, he had got
onlv 14'.; votes against "1,400 for Mr,
Kitehin. he said the American Tobacco
company had a mighty poor way of
showing its friendship for him (Craig).
It looked as if Mr. Kitehin was getting
what belonged to Craig, if what Kitehin
was charging was true. Amidst great
laughter and aplause, Mr. Craig said:
"He eats
ny bread and drinks my
tea.
Then walks
about
about town and talks
me!"

er, of Greensboro, editor of Ev

had been attracted to the
debate by that magnetic impulse which
makes a tip-top newspaper man like
to see a "Gentle passage of arms at
Ashby." Not far from him was Hon.
Walter Henry, a scrapper himself in
days gone by and a judge of forensic
contests, who could not miss seeing
the battle, though it was between two
of opposite poliical faith from him.
Mr. J. P. Cook, of Concord, was anoth
er keen observer of the fray, and tnere
were more from out of town men
prominent in North Carolina politics.
On the Stage.
Both candidates received tremen
dous ovations as they came into the
nau, surounded by throngs of their
triends. On the stage Mr. Craig was
seated between Mr. Cameron Morri
son and Mr. Sevier, of Buncombe, and
Mr. Kitehin between Mr. F. R. Mc
Ninch and Mr. James S. Manning, of
Durham. This was the central bunch
on the platform. There were dozens
of the friends of both candidates on
the stage.
Both men received tremendous ova
tions. As each appeared the amslause
was prolonged and genuinely hearty
Ihe friends of each man are today
claiming that he was victor. Whether
many votes wrere changed is not pos
sible to be propphesied. If The News
were one of a committee of judges to
pass upon the debate it would be
compelled to give its part of the de
cision to Mr. Craig.
Mr. Craig Had the Best of.lt.
Mr. Kitehin was confident and jaun
ty when he began to speak. He evi
dently felt that as a rough and tumble
political debater he had the best of
his opponent. He said in beginning
that he knew he could never make
such exquisite excursions into the
fields of rhetoric as the mountain man
and return laden with bouquets of
roses; that he coud never talk so pret
tily about the Count of Monte Cristo
and draw such a beauiful contrast be
tween the metropolitan lady and the
simple mountain maid, as Mr. Craig,

and bringing in the sheaves. It was a
pretty simile and seemed a sort of
apology for the way he was going to
do up his opponent
Yet in his rejoinder Mr. Craig had
succeeded in putting Mr. Kitehin fur
iously on the defensive, inasmuch that
he complained of the fact that the 20
minutes of the rejoinder was not as
much time as he would like to have
and he said he felt that because Mr
Craig had had the last speech at
Wadesboro, he (Mr. Kitehin) ought to
have had the last speech here. Mr
Craig at the wind-up was threshing
wheat, too
This, however, is not saying that
the debate was not close. One advan
tage of Mr. Craig over his splendid
opponent, lay in the fact that the.de
bate had been forced upon him. He
found the gauntlet flung down before
him and he hesitated not to pick it up
His whole spirit and attitude was tna
of the Knight of Snowrdoun, James Fitz
James, who drew 'his good sword
against fierce Rhoderic' Dhu and his
heather-hidden followers, and cried
"Come one, come all, this rock shall
fly
From its firm base as soon as I.
Mr. McNinch Introduces Mr. Kitehin
Hon. F. R. McNinch, in introducing
Mr. Kitehin, said:
"This memorable campaign will be
brought to a close by one of the great
est debates that it has ever been our
privilege to hear. In introducing Mr
Kitehin to you, I present a man, first
n debate, first in votes, and first in
the hearts of his countrymen, and he
is tonight fifty convention votes ahead
of his competitor. This young man
has made one of the most magnificent
campaigns in the history of the state.
Like a pyramid of stone he has stood
unhurt and, Jove-like, he has stood
unterrified and unafraid. He is trust
ed by the people, and has always an
swered their call. In private life he
is as spotless as a pure woman; an
orator of eloquence; a statesman or
ability a finer gentleman nature nev
er made. I introduce the Honorable
W. W. Kitehin."
Mr. Kitchin's Speech.
Mr. Kitehin arose with a smile and
a confident look in his face, and begun
his speech by asking his supporters to
be quiet, as he did not want their ap
plause, but wanted a chance to talk.
His speech, in the main, was about the
same as delivered here in the audi
torium. Mr. Kit chin said:
I am glad to see so many Home
men here; I am glad to see so many
Craig men here, but I am gladder to
see so many more Kitehin men here.
Mv western competitor and I are here
to engage in a debate, and we must
have vour attention for every moment.
"This is a great campaign, and the
ouestions involvel are greater than the
niiestion of whether a man namea
Home, a man named Craig, or a man
nnmpd Kitehin shall be governor of
orth Carolina. The question involved
is whether that element, lead by your
irreat Daoer. the Charlotte Observer,
which represents the railroads, the
trusts and the machine of the party,
shall dominate. The question is not
one of personalities, but is a question
of which policies this state shall or

brought the crowd to their feet with
waving, of flags and cheering.
Chicago, June 16. Early in the day
crowds began to move toward the Co
liseum, although the chairman's gavel
was not to fall until" noon.
California led the parade from the
auditorium to the convention hall this
morning, followed by Colorado, Neva
da, Washington, Idaho and Hawaii
Marching clubs, playing bands and
steadily increasing crowds made a gay
and picturesque scene as the hour of
meeting approached. Those who gain
ed early admission to the convention
hall found the interior a scene of sim
ple beauty and order.
A more littina: or more
completely !
ecmiDDed nlace of meetine could hard-
ly be imagined
Twelve thousand i
seats in seried ranks fill every availa-j
ble space save for sufficient aisle en
trances. There is . just decoration
enough to beautify without interfering
with ample light and ventilation.
Broad bands of color, red, white and
blue, veil the front of galleries which
wind roud the hall, looped up at inter
vals with red rosettes midway between
steel girders which arch across the
hall supporting the roof. At the ends
of each arch are bioups of big flags,
At either end of the hall an immense
eagle with 12 feet spread of wings,
surmounts the mass of flags. "Old
Glory" dominates the scene. Every
precaution, was taken for quick egress
in case of emergency. Also there is
provided an emergency hospital with
a-staff of 48 physicians. The band is
swung on aerial platform among the
girders opposite the rostrum. The
gavel with which Chairman New call
ed the convention to order was made
of a log preserved from old Fort Dear
born. "
Roosevelt's Name to Be Presented.
The manner in which the name of
President Roosevelt will be presented
to the convention for renornination has
not been disclosed, but that it will be
is undisputed. Just what will be the
outcome of the move is an unfailing
topic for conjecture and the explosive
possibilities of its injection at the psy
chological moment are fully realized
by all concerned. Close friends of
President Roosevelt and Secretary
Taft declare themselves prepared to
meet it in whatever form it arises, with
convincing proofs that the president
himself views any such attempt with
disapproval so emphatic as to leave no
room for doubt or tolerance.
Newspaper Men Handicapped.
Not only were the press arrange-
ments unfit" to a degree, but the multi -
tude of sergeants-at-arms, and the (approval of any movement to recog

He began his address at 12:34. He
had been speaking about six minutes
when the first mention of Roosevelt
was made. Senator Burrows evidently
felt just a little excited over the men

demonstration began. Several of the
delegates jumped upon the chairs and
waived their hats, calling upon the oth
ers to do likewise.
North Carolina, Texas, West Vir

ing, while the applause was general
on the floor and in the balcony.
Cummins Boom Launched,
Following sharp upon yesterday's
announcement from Washington that!
the President and Secretary Taft were!
inclined to insist that the vice-Presi-
dential candidate must come from
Iowa, and that they would be satisfied!
with either Dolliver or Cummins,
boom was today formally launched for
Gov. 'Cummins. It was fathered by
Senator Borah of Idaho. I
The move is sijmificant in view of!
the fact that Borah was among the
most ardent of Senator Dollivers sup
porters. He now says he is convinced
that of the two men Cummins is more
available. . -

Jacksonville, Fla., June 16. Follow

Democratic state primary was held
today. Governorship, United States
Senatorship and many minor offices
are at stake. The campaign for the
Governorship is between A. W. Gil
christ, local optionist, and John. N. C.
Stockton, prohibitionist and has been
especially spirited. For the United

The state question of chief interest
