DO YOUR DUTY TO-DAY.

Every citizen of this State has duty
to perform to-day, Il duty as imperative
as the emperilled welfare of the com
monweath can impose.
There can be no Sinking without
reputation of those high obligations
that every man owes to his fellow in
an organized society where one suffers
through the acts of another.
| The cause of the white man has been
morally won--won before the people of
| this State and of other States. Every
man who has studied the situation,
whether North Carolinian or not, has
encouraged the cause of white supre-
macy with a hearty God speed"
The men who usually take no part in
politics beyond casting their individual
vote have, by tongue and pen, declared
that the State must be redeemed this
year. That the cause of White Supre-
macy is right has been established.
That it will to-day receive the support of
those men who carry the good of their
State next their hearts is not debata-
BILE.
Do your duty to-day. Stand by Anglo
Saxon Civilizations 1t is the hope of
the State, of the nation and of the
world Those who have contended for
ituthis year have won at every point
They have established every material
contention that they have made.
They have shown that the admins
tration of the Fusionists is corrupt.
They have shown that it is extrava-
CANT.
They have shown that it is reactionary
and non-progressive.
They have shown that it is blighting
prosperity.
They have shown that the rule of the
Fusionists has lowered the moral tone
Of society, ruined the public schools in
some sections, befouled public office and
inaugurated an era of political treachery
and civic uncleanness.
The White Mans party has shown
that its opponents are responsible for
negro domination in a large section of
the State; that as u consequence life
is insecure. womanhood is endangered,
property is unprotected and the law is
almost nullity as punitive for and a
restraint upon crime.
The White Mans party has forced its
opponents to admit, and they have time
and again admitted, that in this cam
paign they are contending for spoils, and
spois only. They have brazenly declared
their lack of principle, and have impu
denly Haunted their vileness in the face
of respectable citizens.
When they found that popular indig-
nation was hot against them, that the
citizens of this State could not be bar
tered and sold like cattle. in the hope
of staying the day of their doom and
of keeping for yet little while the
privilege of loot and pillage, the Fusion
lists have resorted to the most wholesale
exhausting the resources of experts in
fraud and falsehood This too has been
in vain and has only invited fresh expos
ure
The Fusionists, have reached the end
of their tether. 1t is only necessary for
the white men of the State who are
white to stand together to-day, to see
that no fraud is practiced at the polls,
and so deprive them of their last depend
ence, to end once and for all the rule
of the Fusionists in this State, the black
est page in our history.
Do your duty to-day, your full duty as
IA man and citizen, and North Carolina
can once more look the world in the face
and not feel shamed.
