Trust and Monopolies.
We are opposed to, and de
mand the supuression of trust
L
and monopo ies, and favor the
enactment of such lays in both
state and nation, with such ne-
cessary machinery and powers, :
as will make their existence im- i
possible. We believe that guilt is ,
personal, as well as corporate,
and we demand that all anti-trust
laws be enforced both by the ,
civil and criminal process of our i
courts.
Tariff.
We denounce protection as a
robbery of the many to enrich
the few, and we favor a tariff lim
ited to the needs of the govern
ment, economically administered,
and so levied as not to discrimi
nate against any industry, class
or section, to the end that the!
burdens of taxation shall, be dis-;
tributed as equally as possible.
We favor a revenue and re

On Senator Simmons.
Raleigh June 8. Special. Gay
ernor Kitchin was asked today if
the "Simmons endorsement
would cause hirrY to discontinue'
his discussion of the record oc
Senator Simmons?"
He replied: ."It certainly will
not- It only justifies the course I
have pursued, and emphasizes
the necessity of its continuance,
"If the purpose of the so-called
"Simmons endorsement' was to
prevent Democrats from discuss
ing his record, it is equivalent to
a confession from his friends that
cannot stand discussion.
"t- shall continue to promote
progressive Democrocy and dis
cuss the actions of Senator Sim-
mons showing his departure from
his principles and policies."

burning her ankle and rendering
her unconscious for. about half an
hour. Save for tbe burn she isall
right now, and says -she feels no
harm from the stroke. '
Mr. T. H. Street Endorsed.
With your permission I want to
present to the voters of Person

the interest of voters at heart
and a man in every way fit and
qualified to fill the position to
which r am about to-refer.

vilege of naming, both "men fori

would rather give him choice a
to which he should- serye-rthe
