CONGRESSMAN CLAUDE KITCHIN
Says:
"I regard the Jefferson Stan
dard Life Insurance Co. as per
fectly safe and reliable."
The Raleigh correspondent of
the Greensboro News refers to
the fact that the "wet" element
is for Governor Kitchin in the
Senatorial race. This leads the
Raleigh Times to say, "This is
true, but it is not the whole truth
or even half of it. He should
have stated that the dry senti
ment also is for Governor Kitch
in, which is certainly the case.
From present indications, .from
all sectians of the state, Governor
Kitchin will land at least sixty
per cent, on the first ballot."

What is the President's de

the wool bill was unconsidered,
when as a matter of fact the way

three mouths of sincere investi

Second, the President asks
that the people continue to pay
exorbitant prices for woolens un
til he hears from his tariff which

Mr. Taft message against
cheaper woolens will go down as
a document of misrepresentation
false pretent and excuses. The
real reason the presided, veto the
various tariff bills was not stated
in any of his messages ;It was
because he was under obligations
to the beneficiares of the Payne
Aldrick law to serve their inter
ests with a campaign fund con
tributed by special privilege.
Then having done this the great
tariff trust extended turther aid
and placed Taft further in their
debt by frightening their em
ployes into voting for Taft with
the threat that their factories and
mills would be closed down unless
he was elected. And just as he
was the canidate of special pri
vilege Mr. Taft is revealed in his
veto message as also the presr
dent of special privlege.
Thus it is shown again how pro
tection makes politics a business
proposition. The trusts contri
bute campaign funds to thr party
of the high protection wall with
the intention of not only recover
ing from the public the amount
of such contributions in excessive
prices but studendons dividends
