wide railroad strike to break a few
week., URO, was pictured by Claude
Kitchin. majority loader in the Unit
ed Siaiea House of Representatives,
in n.n address to constituents in East
Kinslon Tuesday night. The local
Congressman, who spent the day here
n the capital of his district, was
speaking to an audience comprised
mosilv hv workingmcn and their
wive-. He stood upon an elevated
rest rum, gaudy in decoration and il
lumination the Third Ward never
id anything shabby in a political
wav .
They would have moMied the

ng tie' conditions that would have
followed the strike of 400,W)tl conduc

men, and asserting that ;w.h twelve

"ua'ly left the matters over which la
!ior and capital were contending in
statu quo until the commission nv
no;i-ted could investigate the whole
iffair, and put no illegal restrain! up
r,n eithe party to the controversy, h?
assert en. It simply served to avert
.i Xat'-nal calamity, the seriousness
nt wnicti was apparent netore tne
strike or.ler was issued. The result
of that - l ike would have forced the
N'afm'i to its knees would have

and women and played jreneral havoc,
Mr. Kitrh:!i stated. Congress did
not have . mind (the railway mag.

but it asserted its authority in be
half of the ninety-odd millions of
American citizens who would have
been made to suffer through the few

said, had shown that the very great
major'ty of the members will vote
for Wilson. He .paid glowing trib
ute to non-partisan Samuel Gomp
pts. who, although he has generally
voted the Republican ticket, is sup
porting Wilson . now because the
school master statesman is the lab
orer's champion.
Mr. Kitchin compared the pros

conditions in th foregoing sixteen of
Republican rule.. He tamed the old

(By tho United Press)
Chicago, HI., Qot. 18. Governor
Hughes' second excursion into, Mihl'
if an was made today. He ia in the
best fighting trim ainco he was cho-
son standard-bearer of hia party. He
ia highly pleased-over the impression
ha made on his Sioux City audience
last night. .
Never before was a presidential
nominee more earnestly emphatic
more dramatic or more, forceful than
when he hurled a! vitriolic denial at
the charges that ho was associated
with an "invisible, government" is
New York State. He will emphasize
the tariff and .labor issues in Michi
gan.
i ...
The banks of the city will keep
next. Tuesday opening day of the
air a? a holiday, together with the
Tobacco Board of Trade. As an
nr.imceii I uesclay, all leal ware
houses in the city will be closed for
the occasion.
Fecteral reserve, the farm loan bank,
and other maR-nilicent accomplish
ments of Democracy. He compared
conditions in North Carolina under
Butler and Russell with the existing
state of affairs. Kvcry white wom
an and white child now is free to
walk anywhere in the old- Slate's
bounds without fear of molestation.
He recalled with bitterness that But
ler and Russell had Licked 800 white
m?n out of office and put into their
places 800 negroes. lie proudly de
clared that no State in the Union
has made such headway in education,
and stated that taxes in North Caro
lina are lower than in any other
State except South Carolina; the Pal
metto State's levies are a few cents
less. Taxes in North Carolina are
only about half what they are in the
average Republican Stats, he assert
ed .
The Child Labor law was a matter
of interest ito East Kinston at its
passage. "I believe the President
was-wrong. I, with every otlu-r North
Carolina member of Congress, oppos
ed it. I bolieve it was a matter for
the State itself to handle," he declar
ed. "Put would I vote against Wil
son for that?" No, he said, that was
just one matter in which Wilson had
displeased him. Often had he been
"made mad" by Democratic actions,
but looking down the Ion? list of the
party's achievements, he saw1' go
many great things done that those
which had been against his will pal
ed into Insignificance. What would
it avail to; vote against Wilson for
that little thing? Why, had not the
administraiiion already enacted the
Chilcf Labor law Hut'hes would even
now be promising its passage.
Mr. Kitchen wound up in an elo
quent appeal to every man present1
to support Wilson, the man of peace.
Every American heart is full of the.
hope of peace, he decla red. "
The Halifax ma spoke to an audi
ence Of just the kind that suits hlfl
