[ 'COMMENT 1
A CHAf AT THE OBSERVER SIDE
| birr '( TABLE.
The Charlotte Observer says:
4 4 We are inviting our friend,
Dr. "Howard A. cank&, of The
Hickory Democrat, to draw up to
the Side liable this morning for a
little chat in the nature of a
shop talk. In his paper this
weeh.he says he; has been drawn
linger .fire by several papers, by
reason of his position in the sen
atorial contest. He names The
Observer first in the list of these
papers. Then he says:
Harris"took a whirl at
ua in The Observer. He resorted
to satjra and ft fwas very" good—
regurar New York Sun stuff. He
said to.the pair,', meaning
Judge Clark and Mr. and
gave (for th expression over the
State Had been suddenly
converted by their speeches in
Jfcle / asked with fine
iroiiy if we' were not posing as
the vJYard-for-Governor
man. Perhaps so. We have

man now. We saw it when it
climbed on the band wagon—
and the- Reverend

a boost. arp mighty glad it

'ano&efl £iifl,* ?as our bab>
woifl®-say.' ,r ,
"Two things in what Dr.
Bapke
—fcfe rtefeteifefe to the boost of
otdthanHt>r A.,- aifd '-the talk of
fris baby. We could not even
venture a guess the latter.
We have too good an understand
ing of the probity of Banks'
character and he has too good a
personal knowledge of the charac
ter of Mr. Tompkfns, Mr. Cham
bliss, Mr. Kluttz and tbis writer,
to permit even a. lurking suspi
cion that his expression could be
construed into an insinuation
that the three latter are capable
of a resort to subserviency, or
that the first named would
countenance such on the part of
a business associate or. employee.
Whatever Dr. Banks may have
meant, we feel sure it would bear
no such interpretation. His past
association in The' Observer office
would not justify, any such con
clusion, yet we suspect there are
those wWr look at it in a
light ; Banks/ surety did not
mean."
Notfrirtfc ideßghtrus more than
to Side table with the
fqlKs ,and we proceed
to explain: Of course it is hard.
for an old man like Wade, whose
,?•
this:. As the Observer hjkd
changed from tb slip*
T HfP so -{.efbaps it
might someday chang&. from
Tirmositioir to - sqpport of Ward
for Governor. If that should
htflpenjfe would be tame *No. h2,
(which .is aurbabyla way of
putting on double emphasis) that
k : ta*dQM th»atuttt of veering
round to the support of a mao
Which it had once been against
In regard to the second
tery;,"Giving old man D! A
a boost." That was simply a bit
of description in drawing the
picture which we had in our
mind's eye of the splendid
Observer force mounting the
Wilson band wagon. The wago.
WdS going some —it was ahead o:
anything in the race —and aftet
Wade, Theo. and Chambliss got
aboard they helped pull Mr
Tompkins up. Being the. oidei
ni*n, the younger felloes heiofto
boost him up. We used the ex
pression "old man P. A." in
sincere affection, as has beer;
done ten thousand times ten
thousand by any one rho has
ever spent II years with the Ob
server, as we did.
Bless your soul, no! Thert
was not the faintest idea of any
intimation of "subserviency, 7 '
and the editor of the Observer
ought to be sentenced to. an ex
amination for hookworm for en
tertaining that lurking suspicion
for half a second.
The editor of the Observer put
MI the gloves of satire, and ~wi
were hitting back with the same.
There was no blow below the
belt We got a hard hit, and we
were trying to give one back.
We saw an opening on the
diaphragm, where we landed,
after Wade had swung his right
at us In the charge that we were
trying to pose as the original
Ward-for-Governor man. We
are sorry if we hit too hard. We
didn't mean it to hurt. We
should never have alluded to the
Observer's swing-round in the
Wilson matter, if it had not
swatted us so hard. But we
ate glad that we have given it
the opportunity which the whole
rtatehas rather been wishing
for, of explaining that delight tu
change as it does in the follow :
ing:
"That aside, Dr. Banks has
given us an opportunity for a
statement of fact which we can
now with propriety make for the ,
benefit of the more conservative
papers like The Democrat, whicl
have been alluding in the pas
few weeks to The
conversion to Wilson, in a man
ner which would indicate they
are in need of light.
"This writer became editor of
The Observer on the first of last
June. He had previously editeu
The Evening Chronicle and had
consistently expressed a pre
ference for Harmon. Meantime
there came to him a vacation or
five weeks, at the .end of which
time he changed papers. During
his vacation, he made a dail>.
study of the course of political
events. The result of this study
was the conclusion that however
desirable a man Harmon might
be, he was not the man the
country wanted- He therefore
transfet red his allegiance to his
Becond choice, Woodrow Wilson.
His first act on taking charge of
The Observer was to wipe out
the slate that he found and to
put Wilson's name on it.* This
was his own deliberate, unin
fluenced act. It was done in
honesty of conviction and sin
cerity of purpose, and the spon
taneous approval of the act con
vinced him he had struck the
popular chord. With the pre
vious policy of the paper he had
had nothing more to do than had
the editor of The Hickory Demo
crat. Along with his assump
tion of authority over the columns
of The Observer, was given the
freedom to map out its policy as
he saw best, to estaUsh his own
principles of government for the
paper*—there were and are, no
hampering requirements or obli
gations. And it is a source of
gratification to have had abund
ant evidence that the line of
policy he has laid out for T»ne
Observer, has met with the
approvarnot only of the owners
of the paper, but with the public
whicli it serves. That, then,, jis
the story of how The Observer
happened to come out for Wilson.
Yhe explanation necessarily in
volves the element of personality ,
but the time for it to be made had
come.
"We do not Want Banks to join
the ranks of the harpies. He
does not belong there. He is
fair-minded and a gentleman by
birth, instinct and tradition. Ht
knows The Observer is an honest
newspaper and that it cares foi
the appreciation of honest critics
and honest people. It is to rescue
Banks from among the barking
paek that we have had this

WILSON GOOD FOR 7,176,094
The Result in Vermont Shows That
Roosevelt Has Disrupted His
Party and Has Failed to
Make any Impression
-a- on Democrats : .
New £?t| -
In general terms it may be
said that the Republicans of
Vermont divided their vote thus:
Forth* Taft party, six out of
tea; . for the Roosevelt party,
three out of ten; for the Demo
cratic party, one out of ten. ■
We present herewith the vote
a£.the State this year and in
September. 1908. tne only tiue
Oasis of comparison:
1908.
Republican . ..... 45,598
Democratic; 15,953
Total 61,551
1912.
Republican .. 26,229
Democratic. ..20,550
Progressives 15,800
Total..: y r.....62,409
With the aggregate practically
unchanged, the combined Re
publican vote this year amounts
only to 41,900. showing that
3,698 Republicans probably voted
the Democratic ticket, which ex
hibited at gain of 4,147, or 20 per
cent; If the third party had not
been in the field and the Pro
gressives had united with the
regulars, a manifest impossibility,
the Republican plurality would
have been 21,800, the smallest
given at a September election in
a year since the
civil war* with the single excep
tion of 1892, when a Republican
olurality of only 19,702 fore
shadowed the landslide for Cleve
land,
-The Vermont result "not only
shows that Mr. Roosevelt has
disrupted his party but that he!
has failed to make any impres
sion upon, the Deawerats; that,
on the contrary, ne and Mr.;
Taft together have driven many
Republicans into the ranks of
the opposition, and that eyen in
one of the strongest Republican
States the new party is a poor
third.
At, the Presidential election in
1908 the Republicans polled'
7,678.908 votes in the Nation and
the Democrats 6,409,104 Assum-;
wg that, as in Vermont, one
tenth of the Republicans will
vote for Wilson, six-tenths for
Taft and three-tenths for Roose

result in November, making no
allowance for Democratic unity
and enthusiasm or for a large
increase in the number of voters.
Wilson ;.... 7.176,904.

We will try not to line up with
the harpies or the cur-pack, if we
are anywhere dangerously near
there. And we want to assure
