Fellow citizens. If yon will bear with
me for just a minute. I am going to

Democratltc' Executive Committee for
Calmrrua county, the like of which has
j never been uttered from a political

nee lit to publish this statement lu or
der that every voter In Caliarrns coun
ty may read It. . . k- '
And in order that I may not lie mis
quoted or misrepresented, I am going
to read this statement. -:
Calmrms county, up until 1800 was
"overwhelmingly. Democratic, Prior
to this date and during thP. Wa,tnre
.wan jjuauiai ja nun.owiwr -jmhjv ;
is . known as the Farmer s Alliance.
Ililn Alliance was formed for. the' pro-'
tcction-nnd to aid the good farmers of
North Carolina who were At that tltms
In a : depressed financial condition.
There wag little money in the South
and what was here was controlled by
Wall Street InterestSi This Alliance
Brew and lieeame' 'quite n factor ; in
North Carolma.v ; Unfortunately for
this organization, politicians -seeing Its
strength injected politic Into It, ami
largely from the Farmer's . Alliance In
,18!)2 n Third party, or a Populist party
was formed. Cabarrus coonty was
overwhelmingly Democratic at that
time. As a most natural result,: the
Democratic party lost heavily to the
Populist party,' . Unfortunate for- the
Democracy of Cabarrus county, some,
of their leaders lelng much disturhed
oer these conditions and t the loss
of these good men (and most of-them
were good men) persuaded as I think,
a short righted policy to retain these
men. ' ? In the pursuance of this policy,
they enabled A. E. Holton to make good.
to a goodly extent, his boast that be
would i put a ' Republican uniform on
every Populist in North Carolina. v
The Democratic party during Wood,
row -'Wilson's administration' enacted
Into laws, practically all the demands
of the Populist party. . -' Then why Is
it, npr- friends, that so many of these
goon and notie men, especially iroin
the rural districts, Who organized to
protect themselves froin the deep, mire
of financial embnrrnsssment and ruin
why -in It, I say that today so many
of these good men nre in the. Republl

as the most revolutionary scheme of
rate revision ever submitted to the
Interstate Commence Commission was
the comprehensive plan outlined to
to the commission at its resumed sit

adclphiq. Whether It will become a
part of the. official record, however. Is
regarded problematical as it lies with
out scope of hearlng.now In progress.
Examiner H, J. Wngwier acting for the
commission sustained objection by W.

are irrevelant.
In the mass of papers including, a
book written on the subject, Mr. Tillery
proposed a mileage Iwisis for freight

favor of long hauls. As compared with
the rate proposed by the carrier the
plan would produce lower tariff over 420
miles and higher figures generally for
distances over that-figure. The pro

William Tyler Page, cUrk of the
House of Representatives, has found-
and. printed In a little hand' Isiok
that there is.no official sanction for.ig that they also contain quantities of
the title. The constitution, says Mr.
Page, sanctions the use. of the words!
representative and "memliers, as;
designating those persons composing j
tne nonse. , i
But like other words which have
crept info use since Nonh Webster's
day, congressman takes its place, and
the. average representative, over the
telephone or to your face if you don't
know him will say is Congressman
So and Ho. . Some cabinet officers at
bonse committee hearingswho don't I
happen to know the representative by,
name, meet the occasion by saying,
"Congressman.:' Tne easier -memou
around the house these iluvs. if a man
wants to keep within the constitution, I
Is to address a memiier as "Judge."
It hits the right spot, and he smiles af
