The campaign in Ohio is being
looked to with considerable inter-.
est as foreshadowing results in the
next Presidential election. Both
the Democratic and Republican
party in that state, however, have
corporation candidates for Govern
or, and whichever party wins the
result as it will effect trusts etc :,
will be practically the same. Major
Jones, of Toledo, is also in the race
as an Independent candidate for
Governor. He is running on a
platform about the same as the
Peoples Party platform. Should
he be elected Governor the people
would have in him a friend. But it
is rather too soon we presume for
such a tribune of the people to be
elected in such party-ridden state
as Ohio. However, it is admitted,
even by the Associated Press which
is always opposed to such move
ments, that Mr.. Jones vote will be
q considerable factor in the result.
THE CAUCASIAN would like to see
him elected Governor of Ohio.

that the cotton platform was on ire.
There were about four hundred bales

have caught from passing engine
A portion of the platform aud several
bales were ablaze when the crowd
arrived; but much prompt and # C

THE POU AFFIDAVIT AGAIN.

We have had a great manv calls
for the last issue of the CAUCASIAN
containing the Pou affidavit. This
affidavit 1t will be remembered was
q part Of the campaign literature
Of the last campaign, and was made
by Mr.. James H. Pou, ex-C Chairman
of the Democratic state Executive
Committee. This affidavit of Mr..
Pou's was to the effect that the
Democratic party, if 1t got in pow
or, would not permit any disfran-
chising measure whatever whether
directed against whi'es or blacks,
and that furthermore, II such q
proposition was offered to q Dem
ocratic Legislature 1t would not re-
ceive . single Democratic vote. Mr..
Pou further stated In this affidavit
that those who made the charge
against the Democratic leaders that
they intended to put through any
DISTINGUISHING measure whatever,
were guilty Of wilful falsehood. Az
stated above, we have had 80 many
calls for extra copies Of the paper
containing this affidavit, which we
have been unable to supply, We
have decided to re publish it in our
next issue. The affidavit will re-
appear In our columns next week,
and should you desire any extra
copies please send In your request
for them right away.

The wrath of certain m CHI 9
Democratic papers have been excited
on account Of the alleged maltreat-
ment of the convicts on the peniten-
tiary farms in Halifax county; and
while We in no sense, endorse or con-
done the reported outrages if they
were committed there, Yet it becomes
necessary to stop the crocodile tears
of the editors of the papers over the
affair BY calling their attention to
the fact that during the election last
year they uttered not one word OF
condemnation of the men who killed
q great number of innocent and IL :
offensive negroes by bringing on a
riot in Wilmington. If whipping
convicts severely is cause for indig-
nant protest now, will they properly
characterize the slaughter Of the
Wilmington negroesi If unmerci-
fully whipping convicts is character
istic of Russian and Liberian civil
alton, will they tell US on what

place the brutal killing of those ne
groes.

the SIMMONS ELECTION LAW.

Some Timely and Sensible Comments by
DIR. Harris on the ThieviI law.
DR.. I. A. harris writes q very SEN
sible and timely communication to
the Asheville Gazstte, and indepen-
dent Democratic paper which is op-
posed to the thieving election law,
from which article We make the fol-
lowing extract:
As to the real intent of the pro-
posed constitutional amendment and
what it's result would be if it should
be passed, suspicious as it is, the
democratic leaders must prefer,
think, that the minds of the people
should be directed to the "amend-
ment" than to the provisions of the
unfair and disfranchlslng election
law, which does not bear the least
resemblance to fairness upon its
face.
am told while this measure was
pending before the legislature not
one of it's promoters had the audacity
to assert that it was at all a fair
election law, but when they were
assailed by the helpless minority of
the house and an appeal was made
in behalf Of the honest people of the
state, their only reply was that they
intended to pass it for the purpose
of carrying the amendment; after
that had passed they would give
the people q fair and honest election
law admitting that the present cleo
ton Law, is . machine with which to
grind out the constitutional amend
ment, whether , msj ,rity Of the
people voted Tor It or not.
This election machine is controlled
and manipulated by democrats ap-
pointed by the legislature under the
direction of Simmons and his ma
chine henchnen selected for the
purposes.
l am loath to believe that the free,
thinking people of the good Old
North state will ever endorse such
corrupt methods.
The people Of North Carolina are
conservative. Even in her darkest
history the state was slow to move,
and consider that the people have
not had more d rious question be-
fore them than this present one
since 1861. Will the free, liberty
loving people of North Carolina re-
main quiet and let the Simmons ring
rule schemes develop slowly
until entwined and fastened upon

WHAT ARE THE FACTS.

The News and Observer has q
stat correspondent in Kentucky re-
porting the political fight in that
state for that paper. At least there
il appearing in that paper over the
signature Of one Sapp special COM
munications from Kentucky giving
an account Of the fight in that State.
In one Of these communications
this correspondent said that the fight
in Kentucky this year was fiereer
and bitterer than the campaign in
North Carolina last year. but that it
differed from 1t in that the campaign
in Kentucky was more q personal
fight in which personal prejudices
played the greater part, while the
campaign In North Carolina last
year upon the part Of the Democratic
machine Twas fight for principle"

statement of this kind than was ever
