During .his speeeronrf weak voice m tbe T of the hall 4S raised for Kltchm and when the sentence 'Hur. rah for Kitehin!"- wasjvoiced, Mr. Lockhart quickly responted. "That's right. Cheer Kitehin ; for years and years be has keen running on not air, and he needs It jiow." The crowd simply went wild with laughter and prolonged ''applause. X "He said that, as h$erW Mr. Kitehin had not- done anything con cerning freight rate discrimination and his only explanation was that he could not do anything. When the people of North 'Caro- Una were eroanin? under th nnnrea- sion of negro domination. Avcock came to the front and said : "Elect me, and I will do the work." He was elected and negro domination is busied forever. Governor Aycock was also heartily in favor of educa- well he aceomnlished his nromi.. K Then le having heafd the U. JS w:u; .

Lockhart saia tnat oe cousm- ered Mr. Kitehin a nice, pleasant gentleman, and was willing to agree that -his private life tfas clean. The game was just aa true of Judge Clark aad Senator Simmons: "but tha time Jias mmdc," be said, "for tbe people to select a maa who caa do thinm for the-tate, rather than rboce a man because of bis Dereonalitv. I con tend," be said, "that public officers are the hirelings' of the Deoole and should attend to the interest of the people. Jadire (Tark will do thia." , Mr.-Lockhart ilust rated with tha American Tobacco Ctmpany, and or a little while he handled that corpo ration without gloves. Then be re- re-rred to the position of Governor Kitehin. "Kitehin is the mat naif. announced trust-buster, who has nev er even attempted to bust a trust. If chosen as United States Senator, he will bust just as many trusts as he baa busted during tbe past four yeara." Mr. Lockhart then said that he had a confession to make. "Four years ago Mr. Kitehin came tu Wadesboro and opened the campaign, and in'that speech Mr. Kitehin said, "elect me Governor, and I will put the trust officials behind prison bars and in stripes." Mr. Lockhsrt said: "I believed him. I knew that he had failed to do anything while he was in eongr-ss; but he had told me that he did not know how and that if he could be made Governor he would be made an independent and active Governor. I trusted him and support ed him. J spent monev for carriages. hired a brass band, paid for the printing of tickets of the tickets, and I worked for him. It is true he oflfor- ered to repay me; hut I would not let him and told him that I did not want the money; but I did want him to be a man for the people of North Carolina, and fulfill his promises tn the people. "The first suspicion of Mr. Kiteh in came to me when the. convention was in Charlotte four years aso, and then it was that Mr. Reuben D. Reid of Rockingham county came to le in the Selwyn Hotel and said that he was afraid we were making a mistake and that Kitehin was in the hands of the American Tobacco Company. His closest friends were the close friends of that big corporation. They were apparently backing him. , "Still, I believed in Kitehin. , Then as the deadlock continued, Mr. Reid came to me again and begired me to, withdraw my influence from - Mr. Kitehin, hut I still believed in. him. and I still thought he was all right until I, as the Senator from. Anson county introduced the bill known as the Loekbart anti-trust hill. I was noiU lfs nuthorx It I'.wa- drawn by Reuben D. Reid of 'Roekinsnam coutj fy, I was told by William Wnlton Kitehin that the people of North Carolina did not want any anti-trust legislation, and that the people of Rockingham county had dpfeated Reuben D. Reid because of his in terest in that legislation. "Mr. KStchin said to me go slow;, the people don't want anything done. went out from Ins office disgusted and nndone, and mv confidence in W. W, Kitehin was gone, and gone for ever, and I am opposed to nominat ing that kind of a man fo- the ex alted omce ot united States Sena tor." THE GAME TODAY. 1 Rain May Interfere.
