HICKORY, N. C„THURSDAY, OCT WHERE IS THE FULL DINNER I ? Where is the "Abounding Prosperity" Prom ised by the Republicans. * Former Congressman Robert Baker has sent a sharp reply to the suggestion from the New York Leather Belting Company that industrial interests support the Taft-Sherman ticket to the end of restoring business activity Mr. Baker, always an ardent Bryan man, is now the president Of the Austin Rotary Eagine Company, a young corporation that is marketing a new rotary engine recently invented bar a South Brooklyn friend, William K. Austin. The Anstin Rotary Engine Company a few days ago recei ved a letter from the New York Leather Belting Company offer ing Republican campaign cards to be posted in industrial estab lishments, bearing the promise of "full time" on the strength ,Qf Republican victory. The method of campaigning for Re publican vot93 through th i cor poration3 is resented by Mr. &aker, who a3ks why the fac tories are riot on full time now, in a Republican administration. The correspondence is self-ex planatiory. The letter received by the Austin Rotary Engine Company was as follows: 4 'New York July 22,1913 Gentleman.—We have tacked this notice upon the walls of our factories in Brooklyn and New York. "Relieving that the ele tion of Taft and Sherman means a safe and progressive business admin istration, the day following their election we shall start this plant on full time and keep going. "If you believe with us that by relieving any uncertainty as to what the wage earner can ex pect in the event of electing men who will secure the business prosperity of this country, we should be glad to have you fol low our example. - As members of the National Association of Manufacturers, the American Hardware Manu facturers' Association, the Am erican Supply and Machinery Manufacturers' Association, the National Credit men's Associa tion, the Manufacturers' Associ ation of New York, the 'New York Board of Trade and Trans portation, and other commer cial bodies, if you will kindly fill in and return to us the enclosed card, we will supply you with a 'full time and keep going" card, such as we have posted, and notify all these associations of your harmonious attitude. Regardless of politics, once the manufacturers of this country join universally in this movement depression will cease. Lend us your help and post the card, 'Full time and keep go ing.' Yours very truly, New York-Leather Belting Co. This is the reply sent by Presi dent Robt Baker of the Austin Rotary Engine Company: Austin Rotary Engine Co., 2nd Ave., and Bth St., Brooklyn. Brooklyn N. Y., July 25 1908. New York Leather Belting Co., No. 51 Beekman Street, New York. We have yours of July 22., offering us copies of cards posted in your factories, which you say read as follows: Believing that the election of Taft and Sherman means a safe and progressive business admin istration, the day following their election we shall start this plant on Full time and keep going. Permit us to say we do not un derstand. Why have you stop ped your factories? Why is the Full Time and Keep Going plan not now in operation? Why has there been any shutting down by you and the other members of the National Association of Manufacturers, the American Hardware Manufacturers' As> sociation, and the numerous other similar associations to which you say you belong? Did you not assure us that McKmley would insure a 'full dinner pail' to all who desired to work? Was not UuB assurance renewed whan vour several bodies indorsed Roosevelt and Fairbanks? Then what emptied the dinner pail of millions of man who are willing to work? What greater reliance be plaeed on this assurance than on the others? if you were falsa prophets before, how do we know you Will not be again? But why the closed factories? Why the idlomills? Why the un osad freight cars? Why the maintenance of high prices in the face of falling demand? Where is the abounding, marvel ous, wonderful, unparalled, wide spread prosperity? Haven't we got a Republican administration? Havent we , got a Republican | Senate and House of Represen tatives? Haven't we had them uninterruptedly for twelve years Haven't tha Republicans made the laws, State as well as Na tional, and haven'c they been charged with their enforcement? Then what is the matter? If the laws are defective, why haven't been altered? If defective now, were they not equally de fective eight and four years ago. when you assured us, all is well, and leave well enough alone? • Why the depression, we ask? Haven't we had seven years of Roosevelt, who according to Re publican orators and assistant Republican, as well as Republi can newspapers, is the greatest wisest and best President the couatry ever had? Haven't we had twelve years of standpatism with Hanna, Aldrich and Cannon sitting on the brakes to prevent the enactment of legislation not desired by the gentleman who are so conspicuous in their sup port of Taft and Sherman—Mor gan, Rockefeller, Carnegie, Har riman, Schiff? Do these men ever make a mistake when they select candidates? Which is most likely to be misled, these men who say that Taft is all right, that he iB a conservative, or the Western farmer who is told that Taft is a radical? Where is the abounding pros perity? Wealth has certainly increased enormously, or at least, prices have been boosted to a point that ought to have satisfied the most avaricious. The for tunes of the few have become gigantic—bounded out of sight, Morgan, we are told, has three hundred or so millions. Carnegie as much, while Roekefeller is credited with a billion; a few thousand others having from one to a hundred millions each. These seem to have had their full time and keep going cards in opera tion while they are generally, credited with having in October- November last gathered in nearly everything in a large way in the shape of banks, trust companies, industrial and railroad combina tions, which had so far escaped them. In fact the bulk of the people have been set at a lively pace to pay the increasing prices for the nece3sarie3 of life these and a few others control. But what has happened to the masses, whom you and other boosters of McKinley and Roose- 8,1908. velt assured ware to share in the prosperity? With a totel esti mated wealth of soma one ha I dred and ten billions, if tha pir capita tables work out all right, there should be enough to go round, for that's equal to aba it $7,000 per iamily. But who has it? How many of the miilioas of toilers have a tenth of that sum free and clear? How comas it that the bulk of the people are shy their proportion of this en ormous wealth? Have they been lazy, thriftless, or improvident, during these twelve years? If lazy then who created the wealth? Has the average farm er, mechanic, salesman, clerk, teacher, or laborer, squandered their pardon in riotous living? Did they spend it for automobiles staam yachts, or even for dia monds? If not, what has be come of it? Why haven't they got it, how did thev lose it? What has been the unseen subtle but apparently all-powerful force that has taken it from them? Why have matters become so ap palling in America that the so called effete counties of Europe have felt impelled to take official cognizance of the deplorable con ditions in which so many of our toilers are compelled to live. What G. O. P Means. With worship of the fetish kind the Republicans large and small fat fryers and fat fried, fall down in adoration and make obeisance before the Elephant as the Sym bol of the Republican party and the letters G. O. P. as the trade mark. Boastfully and with much self* approval the Republicans declare to all comers that the Elephant typifies the great strength of the party and then growing wildly enthusiastic they shout with an excess of strenuosity like to the noise that Theodore himself makes "G. 0. P. means the Grand Old Party." But this tempest of wind does not convince the public at all and men look beneath the surface and scratch out things for them selves. One of them did it the other day and he has discovered the true and hidden meaning of G. 0. P. All along this has been something of a large secret in Republican ranks, but here is an expose that tells the truth. Grand Old Party is to fool the public outside. Inside of the ranks the Radicals who 'know what G. 0. P. really means nudged each other in the ribs, chuckle softly, and snuggle closer to the trough. What the seeker after know ledge about G. 0. P. found out is told in the following, received yesterday on a postal card from Morehead City, and which says: American voter: I notice here an appeal to every true citizen to vote for the G. 0. P. What does that means? Republican Offlcer-Seeker Sure the Good Old Pie. (N. B. this is not copy-right ed.) Here you have it. G. O. P. means good old pie, Pie is the great desire of the North Caro lina Radicals and without pie there would be no Radicals. It is the great cementing force that holds togeather the Republican party. Cut out pie, whether it is Standard Oil pie, Steel trust pie, or the Federal job pie, and the Republican party goes smash to pieces. Good old pie is cor rect, and henceforth £ie is the symbol and the sign of Repub licanism just as in the past it has been the full measure of its existence. It is the party of pie and not of principle, and all the hurrah and calmor of the cam paign is not that it may be of service, but that it may hold what pie it has and grab more.

Democrat and Press, Consolidated 1 State Fair. > The Great State Fair, to be held in Raleigh, Oct. 12-17 next, promises to be the best ever held in the State. Premiums have been increased and the agricultural, industrial and educational displays will be unexcelled. The County exhibits will be a feature; Haywood coun ty will show the resources and possibilities of the glorious west, competing with counties from the east. The Virginia Horticultural Society will have a mignificent display of fruit, simply for ex hibition purposes and not com peting for premiums. Cattle will be here from Kentucky and poultry from all over the country. The attractions will include Beachy in the marvellous Strobel Air Ship navigating the clouds. His ship under perfect control, sails as easily and gracefully as a bird. Thi3 is the ship that set Washington wild and broke up a session of Congress, the members rushing from their seats to see the wonderful sight. The automible race with trem endous machines sroing a mile a minute will be a thrilling sight. . One of the most beautiful sights will be the dress parade and exhibition drill of the Battal ion of the A. & M. College. Another feature win be the grand Floral Parade of decorated floats. Quincey will dive daily from a ninety foot ladder into a three foot tank of water, and Marvel lous Melville, King of the Tra peze will give performances be tween the heats of the races, and Alfreno and his children will do hair-raising stunts on the high wire. Fast horses will be here and will almost certainly bwer the track record of the State. The Midway will be" full of clean high class shows and will afford plenty of fun. Toy whips will not be allowed on the grounds and notice is given that any found will be forfeited. City water at the Fair Grounds in abundance. Special excursions on all lines, low rates. Come, have a good time. Another Catawba Insane Man. Charlie Hewitt, the man who went insane while locked in the county jail here and who later was taken to his home near Hickory has returned to this city only to be locked up again. Hewitt was taken to Newton, his home, by his brother, and appeared to be quite rational, but after being at home for a while his maniacal fury returned and he tried to kill his father. He was overpowered, however, and then turned loose, as his family were afraid of him. Hewitt im mediately went to the ticket office of the Southern railway and purchased a ticket for Asheville. Mi*. Duncan, the railroad's secret service agent, recognized Hewitt and took charge of him until a policeman could take him to jail, where he was locked up to await the coming of an officer from Newton. When he was locked up he, tore out the water pipes and completely wrecked the iron bed that was in his cell. He was taken to the asylum in Morgan ton.—Citizen. Mr. D. W. Drum has sold the Gastonia Glove Mfg. Co., to Mr. P. G. Heavener, of Hickory, the transaction having been closed Wednesday. Mr, Heavener will move the material, machinery, etc., to Hickory and operate there. Mr. Drum will now de vote his entire time and attention to his mercantile business at the Arlington.—Gastonia Gazette. Subscribe for the Democrat; only $l.OO a year. ?

J A Jackson Man Strikes it Rich. Mr. L. S. Cloninger, superin- tendent of the Metropolitan In- -i, surance company, received a telegram yesterday morning from his brother, 0. C. Cloninger of near Tulsa, Okla., stating that f he had struck oil on one of their Teases and that it was a gusher ~ : flowing 150 barrels a day. The Messrs. Cloninger bought an oil and gas lease last July, paying $1,200 for same. They commenced to at cnee sink a well with the above results. It is a valuable find and will make the brothers independently rich at the finding ; of the well will make the least . * worth at least sloo,ooo.—The '-k Jackson Whig. Had Seven Gallons Left. Messrs De&chman & Edelin, Grafton W. Va, had been selling a paint, which they thought well off and this had oc curred. ' . - i They had sold a customer 18 gallons of it to paint his house. A few years later, they sold the same man Devoe lead-and-zinc the same number of gallons to paint the same house. He had 7 gallons left. The point of the tale is; 11 gallons Devoe paints an 18-gallon house. Of course, that isn't all. Why does 11 gallons Devoe go as far as 18 gallons of other paint? Because it is all paint, all true, no sham, and full measure: But that isn't all. Devoe lasts longer No, no; you haven't got to wait ttp. years to find that Out. Ten thousand people know it. They think a heap of Deyoe. There's no difficulty in showing our townspeople what to ex pect of Devoe. FlO will paint a $l5 house; and the paint'll last twice as long. F. B. Ingold, 10 The Republican is my shepherd: I shall not want for any promises in this campaign. He Dromiseth me forty acres of green pastures: he leadeth me to the stony hills. He filleth my head with pro mises: he leadeth me in the paths of Springfield. • He promiseth me riches and fame; he giveth me not my daily . work. Yea, when I walk through the valley of the shadow of starva- • tion, his premises availeth me not; when he is elected, way he forgeteth me. When I meeteth him at his own house, his rod and ataff they beateth me. He preparest a table before me in the presence of mine imagina tion: he geteth my vote by pro mises; my pocket book becometh empty. Surely the wool has been pull ed over mine eyes all the days of my life: now, my soul sayeth to me; "Behold The Good Shep herd, 'WILLIAM J.'who promis eth not, but doeth much." Y -——— In the 1893-4 so-called Demo cratic "panic" there were seven teen bank failures. In the 1907- 8 panic Roosevelt's administra tion, forty-three banks stopped payment. That is one fact that Republican orators are kept busy dodg ng.
