Bryan in Chicago
U AND THE
Great Labor-day Parade!
William Jennings Bryan, Democratic candidate
for the greatest office in the gift of the American
people during his visit to Chicago on Labor-Day, he
posed before the moving picture machine. Every
movement made by Mr. Bryan, his gestures while
speaking, his genial smile, his cherry hand waiving,
all these are shown with such distinctness that when
the picture was first shown, the Chairman of the
Democratic National Committee gasped, sat up in
his chair and exclaimed:
"Why, man, it is marvelous! Simply marvelous!"
This is not a Political Picture at all. It shows one of'
the world's best known public men—a man who is in
the lime-light of the world—a man who is seeking the
nation's greatest position of honor! It shows him ar
riving at the depot in Chicago, driving along the
streets, arriving at the Auditorium Hotel. Next it
shows him on the balcony of the Hosterly, reviewing
the monster United Labor Day Parade.
This will be given at the GEM THEATER on
Oct. 23rd. Don't fail to see this picture, as it will be
shown one night only.

What it Has Done.
What could North Carolina ex
pect if by any accident the Re
publican party should again
come into control in this State?
That is a queston which it is wise
for men, young and old, to con
sider today when there is fast
approaching an election which
while it will not result in a
Republican victory this year,
may in the future give hope to
the Republicans that they may
tempt this people to forget the
past, and give power to a partv
that by the record has shown it
self unworthy, a party whose
very name is a stench in the
nostrils of decency.
No party that has had power
can escape the responsibility
which that power has given, n»r
eliminate from its present day
appeal for votes those things
which it has done in the past,
and it is upon that, upon its pre
sent policies and upon its present
leaders that the Republicans
must rest their case when it goes
for its verdict to the ballot box.
It is a just argument when the
past is presented as a witness in
the present, for the deeds of the
past are all that are to be relied
upon, promises being the mere
bagatelles of the present with
with the Republicans.
Recall the two epochs in which
the Republican party was in
power in North Carolina, and
contrast these with takes
place in North Carolina, and con
trasts these with what takes
place in North Carolina while the
Democracy holds the reigns of
goverment, and the contrasts
these with what takes -place in
North Carolina while the Dem
ocracy holds the reigns of gov
ernment, and the contrast will
settle that the honest voter will
cast a Democratic ballot. The
Reconstruction davs history of
Republicans is one so filled with
scandal, infamy, disgrace and
theft that the mere mention of
it is sufficient to make the
honesty and decency of the State
register anew the vow that
never again should this horde of
savages have the life of the com
monwealth in their grasp. It was
a carnival of infamy, which for
ever put a blot upon the Republi
can party, and which in the depth
of the disgrace it brought rioieu
in outrages, sins tor which it has
never brought forth fruits for
repentance.
And again, when lulled into a
false security, and when striking
blindly in reproof at policies
which they did not like, the peo
ple of North Carolina were led
astray and the votes of white
men were seduced so as to be
cast with the Republican party
the bulk of which was negroes
and fusionism won, tfce old screak
of foul deeds came to the front,
and North Carolina in 1895 99
lived through days that were a
Reign of Terror, the State humi
liated, its institutions debauched,
its progress stopped, the prey of
a crew that looked only to see
how it could loot and get- away
unpunished with the swag. It
was from that horible nightmare
that the people awoke, and in
1900 the whole scurvy crew were
made to walk the political plank.
Twice the Republican party
has shown its corruption, its dis
honesty its infamy, i wice it has
gnawed at tne very vitals of the
State. Twice it has shown that
it is venal in its very fibre. Each
time that it has attained power
it has thrust the negro into place
and power over tTie white man,
tho Anglo-Caxon manhood and
womanhood of the State being
attacked in its most treasured
rights. Twice the State had lain
struggling in the grasp of there
harpies of politics and twice its
manhood has risen in its might
and cast out the pollution which
was in power.
That party adds to day the
suffrage of white men, and with
a mock show makes declaration
that it is a "new. respectable
party/' because it has but on the
veneering of a few men who
ought to have been respectable
enough not to be caught with
such a crew. But these ' 'respec
tables" are mere puppets, mere
men of straw, behind whom
stands the very forces which in
the past have put vile hands on |
the State, and it is they who are
the real Republican party. With
success at the polls it would be
ttie old gang in control, and the
past in its history shows what i
to be expected. It is at the peril
of honor that men vote power to
such as these, and the danger
signal of past experience is
thrown out to give warning.
Trust not that party whose ex
istence has blighted the State,
for its success today would be an
invitation for a return of the de
bauchery which aforetimes rais
ed to white heat the indignation
of North Carolina, and for which
the State would again repent in
sackcloth and ashes. Let the
election in November say in em
phatic terms we have not forget
ten the past.
LEFT ON HER OOORSTtP
FOR THIS MOTHER.
Mrs. A. G. Tuson, of Liver
more, Cal., writes: "I picked up
from my doorstep one day a
little book in which I soon be
came very much interested. My
little girl of five years of age had
been troubled for a loner time
with loss of appetite, extreme
nervousness and undue fatigue.
She was all run down and in a
very delicate condition.
This little book was very com
prehensively written, and told of
the new method of extracting the
medicinal elements of the cod's
i liver from the oil, elim natinsr
! the obrovious oil which is so hard
for children to take.
Jus; the thing, said 1, for my
little daughter and I immediately
! Went for a bottel of Vinol. It
helped her wonderfully. She has
gained rapidly in flesh and
strength, and she does not take
cold half so easily.
I am extremely grateful for the
good it has done her, and I hope
other mothers who have weak,
delicate or ailing children will be
benefited by my experience and
ju:.t give Vinol a trial."
VINOL is sold in Hickory by
