Because he is a democra, it and stands for democratic principles, and stands for the people in stead of the money powers whom Senator Simmons j stood for 19 out of 43 chances, and whb has nings Bryan. ! In Advocacy of Governor Kitchin for the Senate. (Published by request of the Club in Lewiston) Mr. J. W. Bailey, does not Kitchin 4 ike the plane on which the senatorial contest is nnnrinf fpr! hnt. two thincrs' art r.fr- tain, Gov. Kitchin has done nothing to lower it and Mr. Bailey has'dor e noth- ing to elevate it. If all the people ' knew Mr, Bailey as'Well as many do, he would need no answer. His speech es and writing would , be estiir ated at their true value. Since all do not know him it is well to call a Mention to a few thiners. v ! When he undertakes as re does, J necessary. His only suggestion was to lecture Gov. Kitchin on the propri-i that the public be treated fairly and eties of life and the duty of ademo- informed which, articles are paidso crat many simply laugh but net a few they may not be misled. No newspa are indignant. Ht savs let it be re- per man whose conscience is clear and membered that Senator Simmons is not canvassing for his nomination at the state's expense- He knows-he ither of the candidates is traveling at t le state expense, and he singles out Senator Simmons who is not canvassing v at all, and says he is not canvassing - at the state's expense. Why ; does he deny what no body has charged? , Mr. Bai ley was not so carefuLof the state's expense when he was Gov. . Russeir.3 appointee on the beard of ' agr culture, as appears from the following taken from an editorial in the News and Ob-, server, Dec. 24, 1903: ' ' ' " i It will not be amiss to toi ch upon one phase of Mr. Bailey's political ca- reer. When Russell was ' Governor and was making a nightmare of goy ernment he "appointed ? Mr. Bailey a member of the state board of "agricul ture. He took not only his c iem but actually drew three dollars a day for his subsistence while the boar i was in session. Never before was t lis mon ey drawn by a -Raleigh member. Later vhen investigation was had M r. Bailey offered to return the money. Llt then developed that Col. J. C. L. Harris, a fellow member, of the board, rhadde clined to accept this com pens ition for board because he was staying at1 Home1 and the money was intendc d to pay the expenses of members of hhe board who were away from their home. - Gov: Kitchin pays his' own lexpenses including traveling expenses, telegraph telephone anp express charges, with his own money, and he has never ac cepted gratuitious service irom any railroad, telegraph, telephone I; express or other publie service company while he has been a public official,- Let Mr. i IT'S UP 10 YOU! cultivation of the interior. Should. Suppert Gov. : Kitchin, Keeter., , : . v . . stands on the democratic platform been repudiated, by William Jen- j Bailey's candidate tell the people if he ; can say as much. i " Mr. Bailey says that Gov. Kitchin and Judge Clark are protesting against paying newspapers for space in which t. fnrth matted in the interest of Mr 'Stmmnna randidacv for the Sen- u A w vk'v"' - - - f ate. This is not true and he must have known it .was not true when he wrote it. Both Judere Clark and Gov. Ttitnhiri are; arvxinns for all camDaifrn expenses to be limited, so that poor men and men of limited means may still aspire to high office without the laid of special interest, but Gov. Kitch never said nothing like 'the above. On the contrary he has published all over the state Xhat it is entirelv prop er for newspapers to" charge for the use of their space and in many cases intentions are good, can object to that, and a number of papers have since a dopted ito Mr. Bailey's articles in the News and Observer are now marked political advertistng, but his Franklin ton speech which occupied 10 1-2 feet space in that paper was, I am reliably informed, paid for and there was noth ins- to indicate it. At the rate which j that paper says it charges,; that article cost some body about $80. .and yet the public had a right to believe itwas published solely on account of it news value and interest. to the public. If Mr. Bailev is -unable to - take in the iustice" and fairness of GovKitchin's position he is dilierent irom mosi news paper men'add readers. ' fit must not be forgotten . that Gov. Kitchin was the ifrst ta ask this fair treatment of the public. ; - . . . He insists that Senator Simmons was a juror r in the Lorimer matter. This is absurb, coming frorn a lawyer. Whoever heard of a juror getting up and making a speech for a man being tried and declaring him to be thepeer of any man in-the court room as Senator-did for Lorimer? Who r ever heard of a juror sitting: twice on the same case as Senator Simmons did. in the Lorimer matter? Had jurors been selected to pass on Lojrimer's case, Sen ator Simmons, would probably haye been excused. As an honorable marr he could" not have served as juror, hav ing the bias of Lorimer tavor reveal ed in his speech. "It was 'Senator Sim mons' duty to find out that ' Lorimer. was not properly elected, dul ne aia not do it until the thing.stunk to high heaven. As there are only two ways (Continued on another Page) . IN advocacy; OF SEt " :V. SIMMONS RE-ELECTION Mr. Editor: ; ' I took up the' Ledger the other day and saw anothor piece signed by Hon, A. S. Rascoe. Of course. expected to read a correctiou of the mistake he made about there being a high : tariff on cotton seed oil, and of his mistake in saying -Senator Simmons -voted - for such a tariff ' - I was disappointed for he did;Z not maketny correction of either. h. do not know that the 'public cares- .much about it now since Governor "Kitchin is deuouncing menwho said he ever said there was svchi a tariff; . and he says there is none. - - . Then of course Simmons didn't vote for any, if there isn't any. . . . 'I was; right much puzzled by some of Mr. Rascoe's r arguments and -tate-ments.. He said Simmons voted for a high: tariff on lumber and cotton seed oil,' both of w.hich effect-every farmer in-Bertie County." Mr. Simmons voted to ' reduce the tcriff on jnmber, and: it is now only about seven per cent. ' That is. low I think. I bet no one sells goods : that low. I never could "and make any- thing. , ; .. : - Mr.,Rascoe also said when 'we sell cotton seed now there is only one mar ket, our home mills,, therefore there is no competition and we have, to take the price offered? but, f orrthe tariff xn oil Germany ar-d other countries would be in the market making competition which we know would make .a better price, it Here we have , the argument that the tarifTmakes the , price low. i.That is a new; theory, but it is made in his article. , - . -. -r"-JL ; ' A s this Was a -direct charge andyone calculated to injure Senator Simmons let us examine it.,. - He'says, a high tariff on oil has reduced the price of cotton seed and -that fact keeps away German buyers of seed; I never knew that a tariff on goods coming into this country kept goods f rora . going out.' The tariff is not on what wet-ship,-a-: way, but on what we buy and bring in" from other countries." This is" the first time I ever heard that a buyer refused to buy because the article was too cheap. Germany don't raise cot ton and has no seed. She must buy seed elsewhere. . Wouldn't you think they would buy where they can buy cheapest? I wonder how high price our cotton seed will have to go .before Germany and other countries will come in and make the price higher. Why, Mr. Editor, the Germans are smart folks, they know where ' to buy and of course buy as cheap as they can. So if our seed are cheapest they would come here, other things -being equal, freight rates for one thing. ; Mr. Rascoe makes the argument and states that a high tariff on oil has made cotton seed so low that Hermans and others won't buy them, t I sup pose that every body knows that : our big crop of cotton last year somewhat reduced the price: of cotton seed. The tariff didn't' because there was' no ta riff on them or the oil either. ' ' " If a high tariff on J cotton seed oil has lowered the price of seed, accord ing to Mr-Rascoe, how does it happen that a tariff on logs has greatly raised the price on flooring and lumber? Mr. Rascoe wrote: -Wow what af fect doesTthe high tariff have on-' lum ber. Go to the saw milLman and buy some lumber and flooring and see . if you don't have to pay somewhat about forty dollars for it. ' ' : 5 ' - - : -' These are hard things for me to un deratand; High tariff on oil, low seed. High tariff of logs, high flooring. . Ought it not to act the . same way in both cases? I'know one i Jhing and that is that Mr. Rascoe 's- wild horse would certainly shy at ..these contra- dictions; They beat; a bear skin. - r I read Mr. Rascoes recent article and was Surprised to see him .quoting the New York' World' as such good Democratic authority; - Mr. Editor, is hot, this the "same paper that has three times - opposed Hon. Wr J. Bryan-f or President, and wrote - column after column in denucia tion of him and criticising , his views? Was it, not : violently r against b the Democratic party every : time Bryan was a candidate for President? "I am glad it is now supporting (Continued on another Pae) COUNTY COM PROCEEDINGS.
