He was cordially received at all points where he . spoke and his speeches were attentively listened to by Kepubhcans and Democrats. First Stop at Statesville. Mr. Taft was up brieht and earlv Saturday morning. ; His first, speech was made at Statesville. at 7:30 o'clock. Several hundred neonle neara mm tnere,,?. liemg presented by .ir. j. LMwood Cox. he said: "Ladies and Gentleman: I am clad co come into the State of North Car olina - this beautiful . October morn. ing and to receive this cordial recep tion, complaint is very often heard on the part of your people that North Carolina is not given her part in the administration of ' the government She is. not. SLe has able men., but as ong as you are gang to vote for the Democratic ticket and the - Republi can party is in power, I don't see how these geniiemen ' who do the vot ing can expect to share in the power. In ether words, let them vote as they cninK ana then we will wipe out sec tional lines. It is a. Great' pleasure for me to come here because I think am the first Republican candidate for President that ever came into North Carolina on a campaign "for the presidency, and I am here for the purpose of testifying to the South my interest in that section, my earnest desire to unite it with the North, and my hope that the Republican party will be built up in North Carolina, so that it may well have its full repre sentation in the executive councils! of the nation.- I thank you for your kindness in coming here and I ap preciate your Southern counrtesy" At Salisbury and Greensboro Mr. Taft said in part: . "It is a great pleasure to come in to North Carolina. I have studied the statistics of North Carolina and" her mairelous growth with intense interest. I know a good many of your North Carolinians, and every time a ni!n from North Carolina came into my office in Washington when 1 was Secretary of War. he had not been there more than five minutes be fore he put. his hand in his pocket, pulled out s paper and began, to read and what he read was the statistics of the growth of business of ; North Carolina so that it impressed itself upon me. l'or instance, your factory products in 1900 were $8o,000,000: Jn nva years they had increased, in 1905, to $152,000,000. In 1905 - you had employed 36,000 persons in rour cot ton mills. Your cotton manufactures had increased from $9,000,000 in 1890 to $23,000,000 in 1900, to $47,000,000 in 1905 ;, ahio that you are second in rank of manufacture of tobacca! you are third in the rank of manufactur ers of lumber and timber products. You make in one of your cities in this State nearly as , much as they1 make in Grand Rapids. Mich, in furniture. I am giving you these figures .merely to ppint out that unless we continue to have a protecttive tariff, most' of these industries will be destroyed and the wealth that you . have accumu lated has been accumulated by reason of the policy insisted upon by the Re publican party in respect to the tar .8. And yet how many etecto.x. votes have you east irr North Carolina for the Rpublicaa party f Somebody may have a better memory than ; I have, but I don't recall a single, oue. I nsk you, my frieds, whether thetf? is any reason under, the existing cir cumstances why, if : you believe ii Republican policies, you ought no to veto the Republican ticket ? You have a State ticket and a congressional ticki-t that is 'unexceptional.. I pm i.ot going to speak, about the national ticket because 1 have a .personal re lation to it. But the national ticket is a Republican ticket and pledged la carry out Republican ; policies I submit to those who have stood; in the-Democratic partv in N-rth Caro lina that, there is absolutely no rea son now whv if they favor Republi can" policies in the nation they should not vote as they think. Now it Is a great pleasure and honor to me to be the first Republican candidate for M -7r's'dencv who has come to Ncitl Carolina in a. campaign for that ?i-.at rrfiice. I have come here because I deeply sympathize with tho South. J ; nm anxious tnat it snonlu take its place at the. council board of the ua tion. I am anxious that you should exercise the influence through your able and .great men, of whom yon have many, in the same way that Ohio and Indiana and New York and Massa chusetts do. But, my dear ; friends, if you are going simply from historic tradition to keep voting the Demo cratic ticket because you think tlia your fathers voted that way, then yen are bound to stay on the outside an4 look in at oMiers fn.jo.ving the powt t tion. It is not possible otherwise Human nature and party politics are such as to make that necessary, and I appreciate the homogsniety of the faouthern people. I know their fam ily tradition I know their conser vatism, and their adherence to -something just out of respect to their an cestors; but 'on -the other hand the are enterprising,' progressive,, cour ageous people in everything but pol itics,' and I think it is time -that they began in politics to show the same en terprise that thev dov in manufactur ing furniture and in reaching out t develop the enormous wealth of Nortl, Carolina- . -..'.
