WEATHER Fair and cooler tonight and Thursday, st u. m v..ii c it in The Daily Advance VOL. V. ELIZABETH CITY. NORTH CAROLINA, WEDNESDAY EVENING, APRIL 28, 1920 NO. 101 A GOOD CROWD HEARD MORRISON I following telegram from Attorney And Judging by Applause andGen?ral Mannln,g in re6ard to ex" . I,; service men voting. Comment Bess City Voters' This is the official ruling: Very Favorably Impressed By Charlotte Man A stirring appeal for the mainte nance of "old fashioned Southern Democratic principles of government" wa.s made by Cameron .Morrison, of Charlotte, in speaking to an audi ence that filled I lie County court house Tuesday night. Speaking in behalf of his candidacy for the guher. natorial nomination, he gave most of his lime lo a review of the record of the Democratic party in Slate and nat ion. He urged tin.' election of meif to office who had upheld and could be trusted to continue to uphold the principles that had made the party great. Introduced by I'. S. Vann as a man who had done .is much as any other man in the Stale to fre .North Caroli n a from negro domination, Mr. Morrison wa' well received by his Pasquotank audience and time and again in the course of his speech was interrupted by applause. Mr. Morrison began by referring to conditions in North Carolina as they existed 25 years ago when he was one of the leaders of the "red shirts" who started the movement which has made North Carolina "the marvel of the republic." He pictured the deplorable conditions that pre vailed in the nineties as a result of Republican misrule and negroism, when there were no schools to am ount to anythng, no health system, no adequate return for heavy taxa. tion and when farmers plowed their fields and business men carried on t heir business under the constant terror of a money panic. He then drew a picture of condi tions in North Carolina to-day, with the Stale one of the leaders among the Mates of the union in education, in agriculture and in other lines of progress. Last year, he reminded his hearers. North Carolina stood fourth among the stall's in the value of agricultural products and North Carolina farmers made more money per acre planted than the farmers of any other stale in the Republic. This Slate's health system agricul tural department and in-iirance de partment, he said. an- recognized as among the most progressive and efficient in the Union All this had been brought to pass, he said, under Democratic rule with the people of North Carolina paying less in taxes to their Slate govern ment than the people of any other, slau . This progress in North Carolina, the .;.e.iker pointed out. was made despite the difficulties due to KepuD lican domination nationally a bin. d ranee with which they had to con tend until eight years ago. As evidence of the corruption of the Republican party the speaker referred to the organization of the Progressive party, when former Re publicans, under the leadership of Theodore Roosevelt met in convention singing the Rattle Hymn of the Re public and Onward Christian Sol diers. We are Battling for the Lord. "They tell me," he added, much to the amusement of the audience, "that Marion Uutler was In the crowd, marching down the aisle and singing bass for all he was worth." The people repudiated the Repub lican party in 1912, and saved the country by the election of Woodrow Wilson and giving him a Democratic congress, declared the speaker. In commentng on the personnel of the old fashioned Southern Democrats who were leaders of that congress Mr. Morrison paid high tribute to Senator Simmons and Congressman Claude Kitchin. He referred to Jo sephus Daniels as "the nightmare of Republicanism in North Carolina and the ablest Secretary of the Navy we have ever had." After a review of the constructive r' cord ot me ueinocrauu v-umki cn.-i, in, Imling the establishment of the Federal Reserve banking system, before the World War, the speaker then turned his guns against those who criii' ise I lie Democrats for spen. ding "ton much money In the prose--cutlon of the war." He declared that it was far belter for this country to go Into war in the sweeping way that It did ami lose only 58,000 sol diers, than it would have been to save money at the cost ot millions of UveB. The concluding part of Mr. Morri son's address was given to statements In behalf of his candidacy for the Democratic nomination for Governor. That he had been a worker in the ranks of the Democratic party, he did not deny, but he made It clear that he was not seeking tho nomlna.
