Poughton and Hood, of the Eighth and Third Districts, will f'iiid that Lewis and Butler have been laying traps to catch votes while the Congressmen were busy ut Washington working to help carry through the splendid ac complishments of the present Democratic Congress. But even the Republican campaign com mittee can see little hopes of priz ing those faithful servants of the people from their jobs. Britt in the Tenth will find the ground well broken for a bigger crop of Democratic votes than ever, with a particularly strong man contesting his seat. Mr. Weaver, it is said by visitors to Raleigh from that district, is making a fine impression, Democratic dif ferences (the main thing that opened the way for Britt's elec tion two years ago) have been all healed, and the party is thor oughly united this year, which means that North Carolina should prop- increase in the property of jthe State, and in the consequent j assessed valuation of that crtv. Old Voters Know New Voters Will Learn. j The older voters know to their : sorrow how the public school sys jtem was wrecked under a former 'Republican regime. They know too well how utterly incom i petent was the "fusion adminis tration of the educational system, i to be fooled by such unsupported i and reckless "criticism" as the Republicans are indulging in this j year.

The statement of Speaker Clark folloAVs : "Actions speak louder than AA'ords. Here are some of the things Ave have done and on Avhich Ave stand : "We passed a great tariff bill the best ever placed on the stat ute books. It contains many ex cellent changes from the old Payne-Aldrich-Smoot monstrosity and it contains one new feature that Avould make it the best of all tariff bills, even if the rest of it were as bad as the last Repub lican tariff bill, Avhich most em phatically it is not. That ucav feature is the incune tax. "The fairest and justest tax ever levied since men iiiA-ented a tax system is a graduated income rax - Avith rsasnanle- exemptions. In' the very first speech I made in the House on the subject of tariff T stated that T Avas in favor of a stiff graduated income tax. and as long as tne Avorm spins on its axis and slides doAvn the ecliptic no political part is e-er going to the country on a proposi tion to repeal the income tax.

"Under the ucav law trusts are being dissolved and are rearrang ing their business on a legitimate basis.
