By Every Rule of Justice

Mr.. Editor: I favor the election Of
NJ. Simmons TO the Senate Of tie United
STAT: for the following reasons:
!. Because he is a man of strong char.
acter and great intellectual capacity.
>. He is and always has been a Dem
ocrat of the school of jefferson and
Bryan. He has always been loyal to the
principles that the party now stands for.
Ills record IL Congress and his course as
a political leader is Il guarantee that he
will now and hereafter faithfully serve
the cause of the people.
=. His political experience, courage and
familiarity with the questions of vital in
terest to North Carolina. especially quail
ify him to represent us in the Senate at
this time.
4. The attack now made upon him is
a continuation of the attack made upon
him and the party prior to the August
election and his defeat in this contest
as is now waged would be a Reputation
of the Democracy and the endorsement
of the ISLANDERS Of its enemies.
>. He is the logical representative Of
the Democratic party for this position as
emphatically as is VIM. j. Bryan its
representative in tho nation. and this is
a time when the logic of the occasion
is so clear and positive that its disre-
gard would be diSaS triOus.
6. BY every rule of justice, and recog-
milton for patriotic party service he is
entitled to this place at the hands of he
Democrats OF North Carolina.

Republicans Elected Butler,
Shall They Elect Again

The Burlington News prints an eli
tollal favorlng Gen. Carr for the Senat e.
which Is being distributed in pamphlet
form by Gen. Cars managers The
chief reason given for his nomination IS
"Fir>t, the Republicans hate Mr.. SIM
mons on general principles and will IN
ta@Onjzo anv measure he may advocate.
On the other band, Mr.. Carr has ever
been conservative man both in politics
and privately and as Il necessary conSe-
quence he has not incurred such deadly
cnmlty of the Republicans"
tie then argues that the Senate is 60
ing to be Republican for six years ard
because of this fact Mr.. Carr could Sc
cure more appropriations for North Car
DINA and exert more influence there
than Mr.. Simmons.
II view of the fact that the Senate is
going to be Republican. why send a
Democrat there at all: WHY not send
q good straight Republican like Claude
Bernard: Mavbe Ohio Wilson would
have some influence there: why not
send him: Holton would certainly have
more influence with a Republican Senate
than Gen. Carr. and if that is what we
are after. let us all unite and send him
to the Senate.
Didn't we make a great mistake in
redeemlng the State anyway: Why not
let Butler 80 back to the Senate. II
viii hardly he cOntended that General
Carr would have more influence with a
Republican Senate than Pnt'er

Captain C. M. Cooke for
Simmons

1t has seemed to me that it has been
unjust to Mr.. Simmons-and unbecomlnS
in respect of the high and dignihed Of
flee of United States Senator, to make
his claim to depend so much upon the
question Of service to the party. That he
has been of great value and is entitled
to consideration is true-indeed it
may be questioned If any one be
fore in the history of North
Carolina ever did as much as
Mr.. Simmons did to change the domi-
nance OF parties. But if that were all.
then Mr. Simmons ought not to be
elected United States Senator. But 1t
is not all, for while during the cam
paigns Of 1898, and of the past summer,
Mr.. Simmons was so much engaged with
his duties at the party headquarters, he
could not do much public speaking, he
had in the prior campaigns and especial
~ in that of 1896, made many speeches
which discovered not only familiarity
with the problems of our national gov
ernment, indicating great research, but
an unusual power Of analysis. l was
with him at a number of appointments IN
1896 and | heard no better speeches
than those he made. What most i'm
presses we with the character of his
speeches is his bravery in meeting
suulrely every issue and his unqueston-
q bic loyalty to his party and to the rep
resentatiycS of his party.

ments sufficient to cause all TO desire 10
make him Senator. But Mr.. Simmons
IS more than a master politician. frr he
Is also statesman and patriot His rarty
services, consisting Of money spent and
valuable time given. are not all that
make him deserve the place, but he is
also man of courage. with a strong in.
tellect and untiring energy Being man
from the people. he knows their needs
and if they or our State, want at onv
