Great Endorsement by the People of Richmond and Mecklenburg Counties His Boyhood and Present Home.
We, the undersigned citizens of Mecklenburg county, where Cameron Morrison now lives, and Rich
mond county, his former home, urge his nomination for Governor of North Carolina in the Democrat
ic primary. He is an able and fearless champion of constiutional government as interpreted by the
Democratic party. For nearly thirty Vears he has served the party and the people of North Caro
lina with distinguished ability. His public utterances give proof of the soundness of his views on
political and economic questions; and the boldness with which he speaks marks him for leadership
of the sort so badly needed at the present time.
We ask you to vote for Mr. Morrison's nomination on account of his party service, his sound s
mansnip, his abilities as a debater and his wisdom as a political leader. S"
Knowing him as we do, we believe he would make our State a great Governor, fair to canit

TO THE DEMOCRATIC VOTERS OF NORTH CAROLINA.
I publish the above statement of leading citizens in all walks of life from Mecklenburg and Rich
mond counties showing the esteem in which Hon. Cameron .Morrison, candidate for Governor is
held by his home people. I have tried since I have been here to 'prevent any untruths from being
circulated on any candidate. There went out from the city of Raleigh a mass of untruths about
Hon. CameronJIorrison on Saturday, June 12, 19 20, which have been circulated all over Eastern
North Carolina and elsewhere. These, untruths w ere all scattered at he same time, and I heard
they were to be scattered, and immediately I rec eived word from all over the East and elsewhere
that tltev Jiad been scattered. They were scattered far and wide for an unholy purpose. Besides
these untruths that have been broadcast over the East another diabolical untruth has been scatter
edovhich is that some of the supporters of Hon. Cameron Morrison had a cartoon of Mr. Gardner
going to the polls between two negro women. I have investigated this matter thoroughly and de
nounce it as a base untruth. They have gone so far as to try to insinuate and state that Mr. Mor
rison has changed his personal views on woman suffrage. No man has ever fought this issue strong
er than Mr. .Morrison, and they are now trying to misrepresent his personal views on this subject by
reason of the fact that he is a party Democrat and stands on rie platform of his party. .
I desire to state further that I have known the Hon. Cameron Morrison for thirty years. I desire
to make a statement that is personal and I ask the indulgence of the public in doing this: My fath
er was a brave Confederate soldier, was in Hoke's Division and was with Johnson's army when it
surrendered at Greensboro, and commanded tfie Sharp Shooters in the defense of Fort Sumpter in
18C3. He served through the entitle war, and was wounded several times and I had six uncles of
my name in the war. .
1 was on the Democratic executive committee of the State from 1890 to 1901 and in the Wlute
Supremacy Legislature and voted and helped save the East from negro domination, and know the
great work of Hon. Cameron Morrison did in redeeming the State. I have never scratched a Dem
ocratic ticket in my life, and have always voted and stood by the Democratic party, as my father
did before me. '
Before I volunteered to help my friend, Hon. Cameron Morrision, I knew his life work, record and
character and 'knew it was without reproach. Knowing his heroic life and his unselfish conduct in
behalf of friends and even foes, I was obsessed with the belief that he deserved this nomination and
ought to be elected Governor of this great State.
I have been here nearly three months, working 17 hours a day, Sunday excepted, in his behalf and
will be here until sunset July 3.
The west, as between Mr. Gardner and Mr. Morrison, has said in unmistakable language by then
vote that they want Mr. Morrison for Governor of North Carolina. I call upon the -last to ratify
what the West has done, as it is the western turn for governorship, and vote for Mr. Morrison. I
have tried to be conservative in my statements to to the public. It was said by rfte opposition the
night before the primary and numerous times before that they would win over Mr. Page and Mr.
Morrison both in the first primary. It was scattered over the State that they had won by ten
thousand majority, then the count was made by that honest and careful Election Board, composed
of both Democrats and Republicans, the chairman of whitfh is Col. Wilson G. Lamb, a man of un
impeachable character, and showed that Mr. Morrison lead Mr. Gardner by 87 votes. ;
Mr. Gardner has requested a second primiary. I shall continue this fight on a high plane. I ap
peal to the supporters of Mr. Morrison to denounce the. untruths, do it with forebearance and judge
ment, v
I think the general public w ill bear me out in say ing that the predictions that I have hereof ore made
have been correct, and I desire to state now7 that 75 percent at least of Hon. Robt. N. Page's sup
porters in North Carolina will vote for Mr. Morrison.
People of North Carolina want a campaign on a high plane, worthy of a great State. I appeal to the
supporters of Mr. Morrison and Mr. Page, as there can be no victory for Mr. Morrison without the
Page support, and it will be a joint victory of Page and Morrison supporters to actively get into
this fight and work until sunset July 3, and I ma-e a prediction, as I did before, that Mr. Morrison
Tvntild lead in the first primary that he will be Ue next Governor of North Carolina.
I call upon his followers over the State to quit their business and get into this fight, and be at the
polls uly 3, and see that this greas statesman and high-minded North Carolinian is elected Govern
or, of this great Commonwealth. ' HERIOT CLARKSON, Manager.
rison Won Out Over Gardner in Gardner Own Home District June 5th. He will lead Gardner by 15000 votes in the Primary July 3.

A woman who was too economical
to subscribe for her home paper sent
her little son to borrow the copy tak
en by her neighbor In his haste the
boy ran over a fo'Cu- dollar stand of
1 bees and in' ten minutes looked like
a warty Summer squash. His cries
reached his father, who ran to his
assistance, and, failing to notice a
barbed wire fence, ran into it, break
ing it down, cutting a handful of
flesh from his anatomy and ruining
a five dollar pair of pants. The old
cow took advantage of the gap in the
fence and got into the cornfield and
killed herself eating corn. Hearing
the racket, the mother ran, upset a
four gallon churn of rich cream into
a basket of kittens, drowning the
whole litter. In her hurry she drop
ped and broke, past all hope of mend
ing a twenty-five dollar set of false
teeth. The baby, left alone, crawl
ed through the spilled cream and in
to the parlor, ruining a twenty dol
lar carpet. During the excitement
the eldest daughter ran away with
the hired man, the dog broke up el
even setting hens, and the calves got
out and chewed the tails off of four
line shirts.
And all to save fifty cents!

SENATOR SDDIONS WILL
URGE THE LEGISLATURE
TO RATIFY SUFFRAGE ' clause. Virginia and several other
! states have handled; this question
without the granatather section ana
there is no reason why we can't. The
thing that has kept the negro men
from voting since 1908 Is not; - the
grandfather clause because it has not
onerated since that time. The thing
'that has enabled the white people to
vote since then is not the protection
of that act. I have no reason to
think the negro woman is going to be
more interested in voting than the
negro man is.
"Of course, I have cpposed woman
suffrage solely because of the effect
that it might have on the women.
But the women seem to want it ana
it is here whether we like it or not.
Once when I voted against the suf
frage amendment I knerv that it
would be beaten. Had I known that
the amendment is so near and suf
frage the country over was inevi
table, I do not know how I should
have voted. We tried to prevent it.
If I could prevent woman suffrage I
think I would do so. I thought then
that they did not want it; it seems
now that they do. We made a gal
lant fight to prevent its overtaking
the suth. but it has come. I do not
now feel that we should - be butting
our heads against a stone wall. And
especially do I think it foolish to
continue the antagonism now. If
by butting out my own brains against
that wall I could help the next man
to butt down the thing, that might be
different; but I like to live and am
enjoying life."

The views of Senator Simmons are
always interesting to the Democrats
of North Carolina. He was in Ral
eigh last week and expressed his
views on Woman suffrage. Mr. W.
T. Bost, writing to the Greensboro
News quotes the Senator as follows:
"I have not changed my opinion
about the wisdom of ratification, and
when I wrote that letter a few days
before the convention I knew that
the amendment was inevitable. I
found out how Tennessee stood ana
everybody knows how Connecticut
and Vermont are going when, they do
vote. They will ratify the amend
ment and I should not be surprised
if they do so very soon after the elec
tion. . .
"The Republicans do net wish the
amendment to be ratified before the
election because of the league of na
tions and the prohibition amendment.
That is why Delaware did not ratify."
"Have you heard any suggestion
that the negro woman may give trou
ble?" Mr. Simmons was asked.
"Yes, I have thought of that," he
admitted. "But I have net seen why
the negro woman will give more
trouble than the negro man. The
only thing in our present constitution
which affects the white and the negro
people differently is the grandfather
clause. A registration under that
clause might not stand. But four
fifths of the negro voters who might
offer to vote now would do so in spite
of that provision and four-fifths of
the whites who do vote are no longer
protected by it; so that a small per-

about the American novelist, new

"A novelist of the new style," he
said, "pulled up his Rolls-Royce on
Fifth Avenue one afternoon and hail
ed an old-style novelist, who was just
coming out of 1,he Public Library.
" 'Well, Bill,' said the new-style
novelist, 'have you had any press no

morning nine about my divorce, six
about my new car, three about wThat
I like for dinner, two about my one

five about my lost two-thousand-dollar
bulldog and twelve about the fun

how about you, Bill? Any press no

" 'Only one,' the old-style novelist
answered meekly. 'Only one, Bob.
