. ?BOMIKENT REPUBLICAN EE
8IQKS FROM EXECUTIVE
COMMITTEE..
Mr. 0. r. Smith Says Ui OeadttionB
la the Sjepublican Party Art In
tolerable, And He Cut Hi For
tune With the Party ef the foeple.
tht Democratic Party.
Editor Tribune and Time: '
-y Having tbia .day. sent to Hon. H.
S. WiUiems, chairman of the Repub
lican executive committee of Cabar
rus county, my resignation aa a mem
ber of the Republican executive com
mittee of No. 11 township, I feel
that some publie statement is due to
my friends and acquaintances, who
have known me as an earnest and Ac
tive Republican in former campaigns.
The reason I gave Chairman Wil
liams for renouncing my allegiance
to the Republican party is that the
conditions in the Republican party
leaders calling each other liars And
thieves, and the great oniee of Pres
ident 'of the United States being dis-
cussed among them 'in terms of the
prize ring: have become intolerable.
This is my only reason except that
conditions - in the Democratic party
have reached that point " of united
purpose and ability to meet the needs
of our common country and - our
State so well that I find it easy for
me to connect myself with the party,
headed by W odrow Wilson, who is
the ehoice of an nntrammeled people.
For these reasons, which I feel my
friends and acquaintances, both Re
publican and Democratic, have a per
fect right to know, I have severed
all connections with the Republican
party and am .fully determined . to
support the nominee of the Demo
cratic party- in Nation. State and
county. And the cordial and patriot
ic call for the Democratic primaries
on August 24th assures roe of a hear
ty welcome in the Democratic party,
to which I expect to give during this
camjwign my support.

action of the American Senate -in
passing the Panama canal bill, which
I
among other things; provides for the

traffic,.The Paris Temps in an article
. published today foresees a tariff war
' , of all the powers against the United
VT States unless President Taft vetoes
a course ."which wrongs the interests
.of the rest of the world and belies
, - ' the solemn affirmation of the Cabinet
" at Washington thjit the. whole pur
pose of the work at Panama was in
the interest of mankind in general."
. The Temps, which says it does not
.wish to intervene Jn a-controversy
.' until thetAmerican government has
deilmtely decided the course it will

serve their commercial interests by
more scrupulously respecting their
