Hon. Cameron Morrison,
Eloquent Campaigner, at
His Best When Speaking
to Lenoir Voters In Kin
ston Saturday
Hon. Cameron Morrison of Char
lotte, generally regarded as one of
-h? most eloquent speakers in the
state, and by some S3 the bost, wis
n ;,'ood form Saturday when about
noon ho addressed tho voters of Len
iir county in the Courthouse at Kin-
ston .
Mr. Morrison was introduced by
Mr. N. J. Rous? and ha snoke fo-
!"r,ost two hours, rectnintincr the
i?h'evrm?nts first ef the Democratic
'arty in North Carolim. and thci in
h? nation at largn. He was forced
i tijeh tinnn the vi"h pl-st-.'s only
dwelt at some length upon the re
:;! of the Stat? Democracy in driv
f '-'t ilUtcrr.cy and tnc De:se.'a?
" tli1 country in enactins; a currency
"i"-.ure which ha3 given to the p'.'o-
rle of the United Stater, their great-
prn?r.?r!tv r.nd rrti-"!ierl to t'i;"n
e'va' r''rh. tn benefit from th'
:i!!h of the country, a. riirht which
v.-as, he said, taken from them by the
Rcp'iircan party and sold to Wall
trert and "Big Eus:ness" in or-
ihanjre for campaign fiinds to per-
petuaic themselves in office.
In telling the story of progress i:i
rh3 State, Mr. Morrison laid empha-
is upon the riddance of r.e;;ro domi-
ation in politico, the passage of pro
hibition lt.i..lation, the vision of a
new and enlarged educational pro
gram which had brought North C:r-
'ina from the lowly state at the bot-
om of the Union to the nroud record
i?hiev!nfr more progress than any
StatD in the Union, to the crusaJf
against disease, to the improved
farming methods. to lewer freiirht
r.tes, to better insurance rate.. all
'f which he ascribed to the statos-
nanship of the Democratic party dur
ing its sixteen years of uninterrupted
rule. The tax rate for the State was,
ho declared, tho lowest in the Union,
and urged his hearers not to be mis
led by statements of Republican
speakers and confuse local taxes with
that levied for maintenance of the
affairs cf the State at largo.
Mr. Morrison paid glowing tribute
to President Wilson, ascribing to him
a place 'among the rulers of the world
nowers, past and present, second on
ly to George Washington. He affirm
ed that Mr. Wibon's success in
bringing Germany to yield it3 inhu
man submarine warfare was t!.?
greatest single bit of diplomacy on
record. Mr. Wilson, ho said, hari
brought to the world a new concre
tion of upholding the rights and dig
nity cf a nation and that he had dem
onstrated that h.3 would not throw
fhis country ir.io war for revenge or
in a spirit of vindictiveness, but that
no r.:ht cf the pe..'s "v.y.iM le "
rendered. Mr. Morrison's peroration
picturing America under the gu... c ;
and of Woodrow Wilson as emble
matic of "Giory to Gcd in the Ili-'h-est.
Peace on Earth and Good Will
to Men'' was the signal for prolong
ed applau 71 .
The audience was rot as l ire an
it might have been but those pros
ent were attentive and frequently in
terrupted tho sneaker with applause.
