In material prosperity and political
importance.
The republican party is more in
sympathy with the essential elements
of modern prosperity than the dem
ocratic party. It stands for those
things and those policies which more
largely favor the growth and expan
sion of our material interests.
I cannot emphasize the fact too
strongly that neither our state or
the south' has had the influence in
national affairs that they once had.
In order to exercise again a right
ful influence in the nation we must
occupy ourselves with economic
questions rather than political ques
tions, and in struggle for office.
When the people of North Carolina
once see the wisdom of giving equal
Support to two political parties, so
that the one doing the most for the
economic welfare of the state gets
the votes, we will have attained a
position of political strength in the
nation to which this old common
wealth is entitled by reason of her
past history and glorious prestige.
The republican party Invites sup
port not only for its national ticket
but for the ticket inside the state,
with the belief that such , support
would mean the best interest of the
state of North Carolina.
In my short speech of acceptance
in the Charlotte convention I empha
sized the fact that the one feature of
that great convention which impress
ed, me more perhaps than any other,
which appealed strongly to me, and
which bad largely to do with my der
clslon, was the presence Of so. many
stalwart young men who hadenllsted
under the republican standard.
Appeals to Young Men. :
And I cannot conclude this letter
without making an earnest appeal to
the young men of our state. ' v ,
The economic and political condl-
tions of 190S in North Carolina are
not what they were in 1868. Condi
tions have changed. To these yOuhg
men I am not appealing for their
votes, for I would not have' them
vote otherwise than their judgment
and conscience dictate. But to them
I do appeal and ask that they study
the history of the , policies and
achievements of the great republican
party of this country and to Btudy
well - the opportunities which this
party has made possible for them be
fore they choose their political affil-iations.
In, a certain sense a young man of
intelligence and courage is a more
impartial judge of the relative merits
of political parties than the man who
is embittered by the memories of
dead issues and who allows the prej
udices of the past to warp his Jud&
ment and who is influenced by a fan
cied fear of inconsistency.
By the law of nature, the future
destiny of the state, is in the hands
of the young men. They must take
our places when we are gone, write
the laws, fill the offices and blaze and
cut out the intellectual, political and
industrial highway.
It is the first step that counts said'
the great Napoleon. It is oftentimes
a man's first vote that determines
his political future.
To the young men then I appeal
most earnestly to give to the great
questions which are today before the
people of North Carolina their clos
est ' study and their calmest judg
ment, and to follow the fortunes of
the political party which stands for
the principles and policies best cal
culated to insure the peace and pros
perity of this great state. I ask
them to shape their course by hopes
of the future and not by prejudices
of the past. More I have no right
to ask, less they cannot afford to do
Finally, if elected governor of
