In announcing my candidacy
for (Congress in the Democratic
primary to be held June 2nd, it is
fitting -and proper that I make
known my attitude and views
relative to matters that vitally
concerp the people generally and
the voters'of the Seventh Con-
gresaional District in particular.
The hope of this nation lies in
the restoration of the Denoocratic
party to power. The Democratic
party has always stood for the
masses as against the classes.
The Republican party’s policy
has resulted in sectional and
class favoritism and sectional,
rather than general pjpsperUy.

closing of saloons in this great
republic. All the powers of evil
are arrayed against the probibi
tion of the liquor traffic.
It is startling to think that
simethree or four candidates
announced for the presidency of
the United States are the bitter
enemies of prohibition, the life
long and uevoted friends of tbe
saloon. It does not seem pos
sible that intelligent men and
women would be willing to rallj
under the banner and leadership
of men, who in heart, head and
history stand for the saloon, witli
all the tears, blood, murder, dis
ease, poverty and debauchery
that the liquor traffic has brought
to this country.
But it beliooves the people who
reverence God and love human
iiy to be up and doing with great
enthusiasm. If any political par
ty in this country is so blind to
the best interest of humanity as
to nominate a whiskeyite to the
presidency, people should give a
rebuke to such party and mao
as will never be forgotten.
A VOTER.
Two big insurance lawsuits
and a will case was settled in
court last week, and a number of
things adjusted, so the docket
was shortened considerably.
The store house and stock of
goods of Mr. W. L. Caddeil of
Arabia was destroyed by a fire
of undetermined origin some
ten nights ago. There was no
Insurance, so the business was a
iotal loss.
Tbe Methodist Meeting.
The series of revival meetings
held in the Raeford Methodisi
church closed Sunday night, ana
was indeed a season of revival,
and was more than a. Methodist
meeting, for very large audiences
irrespective of denomination met
at each service .and were alike
benefibted.
Rev. B. P. Robinson, a former
pastor of this church, but now
of Warrenton, a very popular
man in Raeford and surrounding
country, preached plain Gospel
truth without anything akin to
high pressure methods but with
a zeal and earnestness that met
a hearty response from the pews
so we feel great and lasting good
was accomplished.
There were many reconsecra-
tions, and quite a number of
professions of faith.
A collection $102 75 was taken
up for Mr. Robinson.

Tiie Democratic partv h a s
acted upon the principle that it is
better to trust all the people a
pgirt of the time, than a part of
the people all the time. I am in
perfect harmony with theprinci
pies and policies of the Detno
cratic party. Political power
purchased with tainted money
can never serve America MoP
ev can be made a great power
for good when properly employ
ea, but when used to prostitute
and enslave the manhood and
womanhood of our nation, its eT
fects are as deadly as it will be
come disastrous. I appeal to the
men and women of the Seventh
District to join in administering
a rebuke, not only to the Repub
iicau party but also to tho^who
seek to buy their way into office
What honest toil has contribu-
t ed to our national greatness is
incalculable. Immorality and
crime are more rampant in Amer
ica today as a cons' quence of in’
creased idleness; and he who fa
vors a policy that is conducive
thereto is an enemy alike to our
governmeut and our people. .This
government owes no man a liv
ing, but it is a duty of its states
manship to provide, in so far as
pDs.sible, an opportunity to com
p!v with the divine injunction to
e irn bread by the sweat of the
hrow.
If elected as your representa.
five, I will exercise the power
delegated to me whenever and
wherever possible to create op
portonity and will oppose any
measure calculate*! to deprive
American labor of its God given
privilege.
I believe in the economic prin
ciple that our national and gen
eral prosperity is largely depen
dent upon, and influenced by,
agriculture and farming, and
that any safe and sane measu e
looking to the correction of ex
isting inequalities and affording
relief to the farmer ought to
have the support of every Amer
ican citizen.
There are two classes of our
citizens that ought to have first
consideration at the hands of ev
ery hundred per cent American:
one is the men who create our
wealth in time of peace, the oth
er the men who fight our battles
in time of war.
