justified by any standard of any morality
or process of honest reasoning. Such CON
trlbutions can only be prompted by the ex-
pectatiOn of the contributor that which ever
party shall succeed to the control of the
government it will look to some degree of
Ieniency upon his interests. A wisely drawn
and judicious law looking to a prompt and
efficient remedy for this growing evil should
be passed by Congress and approved by the
President
Immediately after this report was
made to the Senate, Senator Allen
offered bill providing,
LIST, That if any Senator used the
Information Of the Senate to specu-
late III stocks or bonds for his own
private gain that he should be expel-
led from the Senate.
2nd. That the Senate should have
PpNSI " IOI Ct ltuSI VI
oily when suspected to testify as to
whether it had made any contribu-
ton to the campaign fund of any
party, aud that the books of such
trust or monopoly should be brought
before the Senate as evidence, and
that persons or corporations refus
ing should be sent to prison.
This bill was voted down by a
Democratic Senate. Why? Because
the Democrats expected to get their
money for the present campaign
from the Sugar Trust, the whiskey
trust and we believe the speakers
now on the stump in North Carolina
for the Democratic are paid by mon
ely from these trusts. Can the peo-
pie of North Carolina afford to put
such party back in power?

RALLY TO DR.. THOMPSON

In another column see an address
to the Republican voters of The
Third Congressional District which
has just been issued by the Rapub-
llcan Congressional and State Com
mittees. Notice they say that
Spears would not have been nomi-
mated if the Congressional Conven-
ton had been held after the Repub-
llcan State Convention.
They also say that the continued
candidacy of Mr.. Spears will en-
danger the success of the co-opera-
tive movement in the district and
result il helping the Democratic
machine. This has been the opin
ion Of the Committees all the time.
But when the Committees called
upon Mr.. Spears TO withdraw he
failed to do SO. Therefore the Com
mlttees call upon every loyal Repub-
lican to rally to the support of DR.
Thompson. The State Committee

BUCKLE ON YOUR ARMOR FOR THE

1t is now only four days to the
election. If every man who believes
IN non-partisan Judiciary, and who
Is III favor Of free ballot and fair
count will do his whole duty until
the sun goes down on November the
6 h, and the last vote is counted,
there is no question but what the
will of the people as recorded at the
ballot boxes will condemn the Dem
ocratlc machine and drive them
from power in North Carolina.
On fair ballot and an hon
est count, the Democratic ma
chine Is in minority of over forty
thousand in this State. Will the
majority allow the minority to defeat
their will? y thief vii! steal from
you as long as you quietly submit
to his theft. Victory, for which you
have so long striven, is now within
your grasp. Let every man buckle
on his armor, go to the polls, vote
himself and see tnat every one who
Is qualified to vote puts his vote in
the ballot box if he so desires; then
see that these votes are honestly
counted. This done, and North
Carolina will be wrested from the
hands of the machine that is now de-
bauching the ballot boxes, and act.
ing as an ally to trusts and corpor-
ations. If stealing and fraud is
done lnspite of all of your efforts to
prevent it, then be sure to have the
legal evidence to prosecute every
scoundrel before the Court, if JUS
tlce can be gotten there. We can
do this, We should do this, we must
do this, and if we do not do it. we
do not deserve to win.

of the Republican party has surveyed
the whole field, has mapped out the
cooperative campaign for their party
and has acted in every incident in
good faith with the Peoples party
according to the plans laid out by
the two State Conventions. There
fore the State Committee is the
highest possible authority and the
best Judge as to what is best in
this district us well as in all other
districts.
When Mr.. Spears refused to be
governed 10y the policy of his party
the State Committee still acting in
good faith and striving to do what
was best for cooperation has called
upon their voters to turn their backs
upon Mr.. Spears and to stand by the
policy of their party as mapped out
by their State Convention. We be
lieve every voter will stand by their
State Committee.
Now let every reformer rally to
the support of DR.. Thompson and
roll him up the biggest majority
that any Congressman has ever re-
ceiyed in the Third District.
If we will do our duty We can
send DIR. Thompson to Congress and
We must do it. He will be another

House and will strike sledge-hammer
blows for the cause of reform.

MALVlN II. PALMER.

The State Executive Committee
of the Peoples party has unani-
mously named Mr.. NJ. II. Palmer
for Solicitor in the Second District.
He is a talented young man, good
lawyer, Populist and will make a
fine Solicitor. He is a law pardner of
Hon. Walter A. Montgomery, who
is on the Cooperation ticket for the
Supreme Court. The Second Dis
trict needs a strong man for Solicitor.
There are probably more election
frauds perpetrated in that district
than any other district in the State.

AT TENT ION, WE WANT A REPORT
FROM YOUR COUNTY!

THE CAUCASIAN has arranged to
take the press dispatches from the
election on next Tuesday night and
Wednesday. This service will give
report from all over North Caro-
lima as well as the country. But the
press dispatches are often not to be
relied on. We have often thought
they were doctored or colored in the
interest of the Democratic party.
Therefore we want our friends In
every county in North Carolina to
send a telegram to The CAUCASIAN
on next Tuesday night or Wednes-
day by II o'clork at the latest of the
result in your county. Give the ma
jority on the Legislative and Judi
ciai tickets, The county chairman
should do this. Every voting pre-
cinct should report to the county
chairman on Tuesday night after
the vote is counted or early Wednes-
day morning. The county chair
man should be at the county seat to
receive the reports and to wire the
result to headquarters.
The CAUCASIAN should and must
give the correct vote in every coun-
ty on next Thursday morning. See
that We get 1t. Send telegram as a
press dispatch at the rate of one
cent d word.

A Southern gold bug is a nave or a

where in this issue of THE CAUCASIAN.
Judge Trumbull for Is years repre-
scented the State of IllinOlse in the
United States Senate. He has ever
used the force of his big heart and
great brain against the greed of
treacherous corporation and capital
in the defence of deceived and be-
trayed people. In his consistency
he now joins the Peoples Party as
the only channel through which the
people can get good government
He leaves the Democratic Party be-
cause it has deserted its principles.

hefs an accomplished sailor; He took
part with the ships crew in the Column
bian naval review, and was every inch
as good goat as the British capricor-
nus on the big cruiser Magicienne.
Billy is privileged character. He
has the run of the ship, as sailors say.
His favorite loafn2 place is on the
bridge" with Lieut.. Kimball, the nav
igating officer, but he is as much at
home on the quarter deck as the fore
castle. Every day the men are formed
in line for an exercise walk around the
gun deck. When the drum taps to fall
in Billy scampers to the head of the
line and marches to the piping of the
fife as long as he can. When at sea
the roll is so heavy that Billy's sharp
hoofs can find no footing, and after a
desperate struggle he is pitched head
long into the scuppers. The line does
not wait, but Billy finds sweet revenge
in bracing himself against stanchiou
and butting every pair of legs that
goes by. 1t fills him with keen delight
to butt a marine, but that is part of his
education.
On the day his portrait was taken, Bill
ly was not feeling very we'll. He had
eaten box of matches, and the phos-
phorus did not agree with him.-Don c.
