Northern settlers of that resort will vote
the Democratic state and local ticket,

This is true also of the Northern set
tiers in other parts of North Carolina.
Many of them are among the most active
workers for the success of the Democratic
ticket. With a large acquaintance among
Northern settlers in the state, L do not
know one who is not an officeholder, who
will vote the fusion ticket. The campaign
has resolved itself more into fight for
white rule and protection to property than
one of political divisions and the Demo
cratic victory. it seems, will be won by
the aid of the best element in the Repup-
ncan and Populst parties. Nearly all the
men of these parties with large property
interests will vote with the Democrats
In the recent parade of 1000 men wearing
red shirts in Richmond county there was
quite a number of white Populists and
white Republicans. This shows their deep
interest in the campaign and the tremen-
dous issues involved.

Atlanta, Ga, Nov. A delegation from
"Gideons Band" as the Blalock reform
ors are knokn, made call on Gov Cand-

upon square slashing and the like. When
they got through the Governor made
characteristic answer In effect 1t was
this You fellows are pulling al the

you haven't got anything else to do But
that is not the idea now. We've not big

that if you should abolish the whole stale
house force including myself, you wouldn't
make any perceptible reduction in the tax
rate and you tell me you want to reduce
the taxes. Now I'll tell you what 10 do,
and I'm with you: Just go off and study
up some way to bring more money into
the treasury and get more property into

WON'T need 70 talk about slicing this fell

This was the Governors reply to the re-

witnessed this interview.
At the conclusion he said the reform

a buzz saw. What the Governor said
was not in a harsh tone or wanting in
courtesy, but with only his characteristic
Guinness. 1t was not exactly what the
reformers hoped for, and ii made them
feel like they had been barking up the
wrong tree.
