Judge Councill Means To Win.
,4 I am not-o'ng to be defeat
ed," said Judge Councill, "Aman
yho heard sadi Jonas he said sue
rri a 'jn things about me that
was poing to vote for me. "I
don't know where we're at," said
another Republican,, ''so I am
S" to vote for you. Not less
thin 15 or 20 have pledged me
and I will welcome sup
port from others.
i'nere never has been an o>
ca3 ~ijn more auspicious than this
n get in under cover in the big
?es"t victory a presidential candi
date ever won."
The speaker commented on
the high privilege of voting, and
refered to the fact that Col. G.
H. Yoder who sat "Before him,
had voted tor a Democratic Presi
dent ever since 1848.
"The Democratic party has al
ways stood for equal rights to all
and special privileges to none.
Oar peopie are awaking to the
fact that the Republican party is
Republican only in nanie. v The
bigtrustshave poured millions in
to the Republican corruption
fund to poison the fountains of
justice, corrupt the laws and
build up great fortunes in the
hands of a few."
Lack of space forbids a full re
port of the judge's able speech.
He reviewed the splendid record
of the Democratic party in the
state on education, the constitu
tional amendment, care for the
unfortunate, etc.
The judge concluded with the
story of a man fascinated by see
ing the man mthe circus who did
tie stunt of putting his head in
the lion's jaws. He followed
the circus from place to place.
Tc's only a matter of time when
that head will come off,'' he ex
la nei . "and I want to be on
and to see it." It's only a few
weeks until Theodore Roosevelt
with his big teeth will bite off
the head of the Republican party,
and everybody ought to be on
hand to see it."
In his night speech, Judge
Councill paid a handsome tribute
to the Independents in politics.
The bulkof them this year appear
to be for Wilson, the intellectual
equal of Jefferson, and who
wears no man's collar.

While not more expensive than

• ■ COUNTY TICKET SHOULD BE ELECTED
Our Record.
Catawba is a close county politically and its voters are think
ing men who act usually for what they think best for the public in
terest, The Democrat has great admiration for the independent
in politics, and it wishes to put before the Catawba county Jnde
oendent and Republican reasons why, this year, their vote should
be cast for the county Democratic ticket.
The county commissioners are the legislative part of the county
machinery. What is the record of our Democratic board? They
have pqjii-off the $6,000 debt, chiefly on the Catawba-Alexander
county bridge, which they inherited, and will carry five thou
sand dollars surplus over for thtir successors. They rebuilt the
Brookford bridge at SISOO, a bridge down at Finger's ancjt are
receiving bids now for a bridge at the Modeller place on the new
3-mile road vhich is being cut out from the Sharp place to Da
Foard's. At a cost of $774 they.luilt a new road to the Catawba-
Iredell bridge at Buffalo Shoals. Besides they have repaired many
bridges.
At a cost of over $2500 they have repaired the court house and
jail.
They have inaugurated the new era of good road building in Cat
awba, the value of which will be beyond estimate for this and un
born generations. To handle the $50,000 bond issues each of New
ton and Hickory townships they have risen above petty politics and
appointed non-partisan boards to expend the road money. Two
and a half miles of sand clay are now infuse between Hickory and
Brookford.
They have spent S3OO on the hookworm campaign, and given
$l5O to the Hickory Rifles, the company to which the county would
look to save it from the blot of lynching or the danger of riot
A splendid record for both economy and service!
Our Ticket
Of the present board Messrs Gabriel. F. A. Yoderand Little
were renominated, while the new blocd presented consists of Messrs.
S. L. Whitener and M. Caleb Petzer, splendid, safe men, all.
For sheriff, Lee Hewitt has made a record which surpasses that
of any sheriff in Nortn Carolina. .He rep >rts his taxes collected up
in full to the very last penny, at the end of his term. . His books
are perfect. E. D. Gamble is right behind him in the Register's
ofHee with his excellent books. "Waiter S lerrill is a splendid man,
alfaole, capable, for treasurer. R. L. Hoke for coroner and Enloe
Yoder for surveyor add strength to an already unusually fine ticket.
Gaither tor the House and Councill for the Senate will give Catawba
a standing in the Legislature which few other counties will have.
Our Platform
Our platform pledged these two last named to work for six
months school terms, to abolish the old fee system in Catawba in
favor of fair salaries to county officers, and for a simple system for
registering land titles. What does the Republican platform favor?
Is there any Republican county platform? v
Voters of Catawba, here is our record, our ticket and our plat
form. We ask you to endorse all three.
