SEVEN REASONS WHY THE WHITE MANS
PARTY WILL WIN.

Of success next Tuesday," asks a
friend.
1. In one precinct in Pamlico where
there were sixty Populists in 1896 there
are only three now. In every Eastern
county the Populists have come over
by the hundred and in every Central and
Western county by the score. The Pop
Mist candidate for Governor, the eX-
Populist State Chairman, Congressman
Strowd, Hon. L. A. Thorne, Senator At
water and other Populist leaders are
actively at work against Fusion. Guth-
RE got $4,000 votes for Governor. AT
least 10000 of the men who voted for
Guthrie in 1896 will vote with Guthrie
in 1898 for White Supremacy.
2 In one voting precinct in Stokes
county there are % lifelong Republicans
who will vote for White Supremacy.
In Wake there are a number of leading
white Republicans who will not vote the
Fusion ticket. This is true of every
county in the State. Day by day i'll
these columns have appeared letters from
Republicans of prominence and humble
followers OF Mckinley declaring that
they will not be parties to perpetratlng
Negro Rule. In all counties the Repub-
licans who will repudiate Negrolsm are
numbered by the score. In some coun-
ties there are more than hundred. How
many there will be, it is difficult to pre-
dit. but there will be enough of then
added to the Democratic and patriotic
Populist vote to insure victory for
Anglo-Saxon rule in November
3. The citizens of Northern birth, who
have built factories, started truck
farms and gone into business are almost
without exception terribly in earnest in
advocacy of White Supremacy. They
want protection to property and personal
liberty; they want peace and amlty: they
want such safe and stable conditions as
will enhance the value Of their property
and make their investments pay. They
know that where the men who pay 30
per cent of the taxes have no voice
whatever in government, the administra-
ton of affairs is not in the best hands.
4. There are four or i1ve thousand men
who belong to the National Prohibition
party in North Carolina. This year,
led by such men as DR.. Benbow, they
will vote almost in body for the White
Mans ticket. They know that they
can get decent and honest State govern
ment in no other way.
5. Lastly, the Old Guard of the Dem
ocratic party is united, aroused, deter
mined. With their patriotic allies from
other parties, they know no such word
as fail when failure means the con-
tinuance of corrupt and incompetent ne
gro rule in North Carolina.
G. The great crowds that have attend
ed the. rallies of the White Mans party
means something. -Four years ago Dem
ocrats spoke to people in gatherings num-
bered by scores. In 1896 the biggest
crowds were numbered by hundreds.
This year the white mems meetings
have been attended by thousands. At
every place there have been men of
other parties enthusiastic for White Su
premacy, and the women Of the State
have everywhere held up the hands of
the men as Aaron and Ur held up the
hands of Moses These meetings, almost
always opened with prayer by Christian
ministers who give their help and their
prayers to the cause, and graced by the
fair women of the State, have kindled
an enthusiasm that has swept from
seashore to mountain, reaching and en-
.nobling almost all the white voters OF
North Carolina.
Z. The people have not only heard
the issues discussed, they have read the
tales of the burdens laid upon the backs
of their Eastern brethren, and i'll the
quiet of their homes have vowed a vow
to help to restore Anglo-Saxon suprem
acy in the only State or country in The
world where the negro rules the white
man. The printed truths Of negro rule
| illustrated by striking cartoons, have
| impressed the men, women and children
| of every neighborhood until the desire
to put an end to negro rule animates al
ooac of hoth cayac
These are the seven reasOns-seve1

| confident of the success of the Demo
cratic cause in North carolina mex

Every white man should read Mr.. Je.
rome Dowd's terrible arraignment OF the
Fusion administration in tO-day's paper.
