CAMPAIGN COMMENT. • » toessyeU m tkt tan. Wllwlastoa Miwiom. The president call* on Senator and ex-Attorney General Kuos XO write the answer for the repnbllcana to Judge Parker’s recent speech on the trusts and their protection by tbe administration. Bvery time the democratic candidate raskes a front porch speech on tbe issues of the campaign some republican expert on tbe sub ject discussed by him is hurriedly put to work on getting np a re ply. Judge Parker has placed Mr. Roosevelt on tlie defensive on every one of tbe political points he hss discussed. The truth is the judge has got tbe president on the run., Hadrons Tina, Whiskey Raw. C iiiIm Kama. The Republican party has obtained control of this State twice, sad each lime by and with tbe votes of Ignorant negroes. Every body knows this is true. And it is equally true that the same par ty is now trying to obtain control of our State by aud with the votes of the whiskey element. Now, is this not n nice party for good citiseas to support? A party wboet oqly hope of success was by and with tbe votes of ignorant negroes, and now since they are disfranchised, its only hope of success is by and with the votes of men opposed to tbe re* strict ion of the manufacture and sale of whiskey ! Is such a party fit to control our State? Could such a party give us good government? Let all good citizens seriously consid er these questions and answer on the day of election. Ths View at « CiUrrsi lagnbliraa Mt. Robert W. Bigger oi No. 10 township in Cabarrus county takes a sensible view of his political duty. Mr. Bigger was raised a Republican. He was formerly cotton weigher in Concord. He ia well known over bis county and has the name of being a citisen of sterling worth. This year he will vote the Democratic ticket. In a letter to tip Concord Times be pats the aiatter in a nutshell this way: "I can remember wbcu that distillery was operated down the hollow, and that white-winged angel of death (whiskey wagon) came rocking along the public highways, and that little neglected log school boose stood over in the woods. "How is it now? , "The State through the Democratic party haa taken up this long neglected subject, education, and aays that it must come first. "The Republican leaders are now going around over the State saying that the distilleries in the rural districts must come first. "Others may do as they choose, but as for me sod my house we will vote with the Democratic party." •_ Teddy’s Uak. Jobs H. Tyter ta Norfolk Virstataa-rUot. Teddy had a little lamb, A fadeless black was be. A cate and curty-bcaded pet Whose name was Booker T. Now, Teddy loved him very much; They made a charming pair, And everywhere that Teddy went His little lamb was there. So Teddy said unto himself, "The great White-House is mine; Why slionld 1 cere what people think? I'll take him in to dine.” Thea Teddy’s friends, the Lilly Whites, Began to kick and cats— "Unless yon tarn that black sheep out Look not for help from ns.” * But when they saw their Teddy's frown; How soon they changed the cry! "Play with him. Teddy; we’ll be good; Jnst keep ns eating pie.” Iwtncr*! Jewels. fxnxtot Hmm la OaiMU. Oaa. IT. Doriog the last six years the Democratic party baa done four things which not only entitle it to the lasting gratitude of the peo ple of this atate, bat which make a platform good eaongh aad strong enough and broad enough to afford standing room for every patriotic dtiaen in the state. First. It rescued the state from the fusion combination with Its one thousand negro office-hoIdcrs,aad pat it in the bends of the responsible white people of the state. Second. It has pot a school-boost la every school district in the Mate, provided the money to ran ft four months le the year and awakened aa interest and enthusiasm ip edneation which hat ' added eighty-three thousand white Children to the school enroll, meat. Third and Fourth. It kil abolished Ignorant negro siiFisgc in the state, pet the cross-road groggsry end the backwoods dis tillery out ot business end made if illegal to qiake or sell liquor except under the eye of the law. ’ When the mother of the Gracchi presented herself at a Retta function in plain and simple attire, one of her female companions Inquired of her wlpere were her^ewals, and she called her two sees, and introducing them said: "These ere my Jeerels." So we pre sent to the people of North Carolina these foor groat achievements as Dsnsoctsey’t oewly-acqnlred jewels. The amendment and the Watts Mil have literally pot the Re publican party oat of traslaeas In North Carolloa. tod that's the reeeon that party fought the format so savagely when it tree be fore the people foe ratification, and is now trying so bard to pre veut the establishment of the principle of the Jotter at the per menent policy of the stale. The effect of these two measures on the forte*, of the Re pablieaa party ia la itself e matter of no little sigsUkance Bat the eakosslqg of that corrupt old organisation is as a grain of •and upon the mashers compared>hh the far-reaching c«s«ta of tbeoe great enactments upon the moral, intellectual and material welfare aad development at the state. ; PI89AB PENCIUN6S. ^meuliaM uf DM —it~ Wtfib, Oct. k9—We wen pleased to meet Mr. Zebedm Bl^ckwopd last Saturday.
