WALTER MURPHY SPOKE AT DEMOCRATIC RALLY LAST NI6HT In One of the Most Convincing Ad' dresses Heard He Told of the Ac roiuplishments of the Party Stated That American Business Had Been Emancipated by Wood- row Wilson He Asks Kepunll cans If They Are Iroud of Their Record In North Carolina Was Well Received. Hon. Walter Murphy, mt Salisbury, was the principal speaker at a Dem ocratic rally held in the court house last night, there being nearly 309 voters present. He was Introduced by Mr. A. G. Mangum, of the local bar, in a brief talk. The speaker devoted the major .portion of his speech to National is sues and those who heard him ex pressed themselves as being favora bly impressed with his speech. His remarks were entirely free from personalities. He referred to the Republican party only when It was necessary to show a comparison and then only. His address was one of the best that the Gastonia voters have bad the opportunity of hearing during the present campaign. Contrasting- the old National Banking Law with the new Federal Reserve Act, the speaker showed how this country was made panic proof.. By this legislation, he de clared. Wall Street's hold on the government was broken and as a re sult American business and com merce were allowed tb move In its regular channel unhampered. After going into the details of this act he took up the Farm Loan Bank, show ing how easy it was now to' borrow money on farm lands when before this act was passed millions of dol lars were necessary every year to move the crops of the country. De spite the predictions of the Republi cans in 1912 that If Woodrow Wil son was elected this country would see one of the worst financial de pressions in its history, he declared that today cotton, corn and wheat are bringing the highest prices ever recorded since the Civil War. No two pieces of legislation have ever been written into the laws of the United States that will mean as much to the American people as Hie Federal Reserve and the Rural Credits Acts which were put on tne statute books of this country under the guidance of Woodrow Wilson. He next discussed the Warehouse Act. good roads legislation and the cot ton futures act showing the benefit of each to the masses of the Ameri can people. "Mr. Hughes may be a 100 per cent candidate, as the Republicans say, but he is a no per cent states man," the speaker stated. He de clared that Mr. Hughes during all of the speeches he has made in this campaign has offered not one single piere of progressive legislation; has found no flaw in the record of the Democratic party and has only been a harping critic. He defended Pres ident Wilson against the criticisms of the G. O. P. orators who attacked his Mexican policy, saying - that Woodrow Wilson was accentuated by all that was good and noble and that he did only what Grant did when Maximilian attempted to usuro the presidency. Turning to State issues towards the close of bis address the speaker asked the Republican if he were proud of his party in North Carolina. He then contrasted the two party records in North Carolina. On the Republican side he placed Holden and Russell and Butler against Vance, Jarvis, Aycock. Glenn. Kitch in and Craig. He stated the terrible conditions prevalent under Holden and Russell when the negroes were placed in office and the womanhood of this State was in danger until the Democrats led the white men to victory and repudiated 'he Republi cans. Mr. Murphy nas just returned from the Northwest where he has been stumping the country in tne interest of the party and he says that that entire section is ablaze with enthusiasm for Wilson. The speaker was well received and fre quently applauded. Ijist chapter Her ret of the Hultma rlne at the Cozy today. MORRIS PLAN BANK.
