Bryan, and I earnestly ask the hearty support of those who favor these principles, to wit: Those who are opposed to the present financial system of our govern ment, who are in favor of the free coin age of both gold and silver at the ratio of 16 to 1; who favor a further increase of our legal tender currency without intervention of banking corporations; who favor a graduated Income tax: who oppose railroad consolidation and who favor the freedom and sancity of the ballot.

This law has never been enforced until this year in incorpo rated towns, although it has been on the stat'ite books fifteen years. The Durham Herald today savs. in connection with the speech of Congress-ran Kitchin there yesterday: "Most of the bar rooms were closed yesterdav on account of the speaking last n'ght. There was right much spec ulation as to who was Instrumental in having the saloons closed. It has never been done in Durham before and it seems strance that no one thought of it until this late day. If those who kept their places nnen yesterday have violated the law they should be arrest ed pn'1 the proper penalties Imposed. If the law is a bad one it should be re pealed." Tt is said that this section of the Code was passed at the instigation of the late John Gntling, when he repre sented this county in the Senate and that H was done to prevent selling whiskey at public speakings In the country. Some of the Raleigh liquor men con sulted an attorney about the matter last nlrht Pnrt It was the opinion of this lawver that the law was very sweeping, and Included everything, but he is sure thnt Its Intent was not to apply to Incorporated towns.
