The gold leaf. [volume] (Henderson, N.C.) 1881-1911, 1892-11-03
WE MUST WIN.

Democrats of Vance county are en-
couraged to make an aggressive and
winning campaign this fall. The Ma
tional ticket is strengthened by the
best local nominations that could be
made.
For member OF Congress, Benja-
min H. Bum, of Nash, appeals to the
patriotic feelings and self-respect of
the people everywhere who desire to
be represented by a man ofexperlence
and genuine ability, who has served
his people faithfully and we'll. He is,
moreover, familiar with the history
and theories of government, student
of economic questions and a practical
man, one who may be relied upon to
take visible part in the councils of
The party and the shaping of legisla-
ton. 1t is nomination far above
mediocrity.
For the Legislature we have 7. T.
Hicks, good man in. every sense of
the word-a man whom the voters of
Vance county may we'll feel proud to
support. He is in thorough sympathy
with the people and will be the friend
and servant of all. He has at heart
the agricultural interests of the county
and State, and in fact his personal
interests and their general interests
are one. He is the man who will be
most effective in preserving what ad
vantages the farmers now possess while
relieving them So far as possible from
exposure to the plundering procliv
tiles Of the monopolistic classes. If the
people of Vance county desire mem
Der of the Legislature capable of rising
above the ordinary level and able to
WELD creditable and visible influence
in affairs of State, they will elect L. T.
Hicks. And the GOLD LEAF believes
that he will, together with his associ-
ates on the ticket, be trlumphantly
elected.
For Shireh E. A. Powell is another
man whom the people without regard
to race or party, will find both pleas
ure and pride in supporting. He is a
man of affairs and has had experience
that eminently qualities him for the
duties Of the office. His name brings
the recommendation of an unimpeaCh-
able character, nnquestloned ability.
and the the purest purposes to conduct
the duties OF the office honestly and |
we'll.
For Treasurer the name of A. M. |
Basket will help the ticket on to vic
tory. He is a good man for the posi-
ton, of high character, honest and
industrious, and in his keeping the
finances of the county would be per-
fectly safe.
P. E. Rowland IS qualified to dis
charge the duties of the Office of Reg
lister of Deeds in a careful, systematic
and business like way and in such a
place would realize that he Was the
servant Of the people and was there to
wait upon them, and not the reverse
He is careful and painstaking and as
keeper of the county records his guard
ianship would be all that could be re-
CURED.
Capt. ]. B. White is competent
and expert surveyor and mathematician
and possesses every qualification req
lisite to performing the duties of the
office for which he is a candidate.
g. A. Cunningham is an honest,
sober and industrious young farmer
whose worth was recognized by his
being nominated for Coroner.
This is an excellent ticket, Compos-
I'd of good and true men who would
discharge their duties not as partsans,
out as servants of the people, in the
interest of all classes of our citizens.
They deserve your support, they are
entitled to lection, and they will be.
