CARR AND DEMOCRATIC ORGAN ZaTlON
1t is Suggested That S ntiments Of Delicacy

Making Race for Senator.


candidate for the Senate, | send you
greetings on this day. BY your untiring
devotion to the cause, and the efficient
help which you have rendered, it has
come TO pass that the next Senator from
North Carolina Will be Julian S. Carr,
q man with clean hands, a pure record,
and one whose heart beats in sympathy
with the manhood Of his native State.
Prior TO the August election, Mr.. Carr
discovered that in some counties too &C
tive partisans of his chief opponent We're
endeavoring to press the claims of their
candidate for the Senate, thereby en-
Gangering the Constitutional Amendment,
and the safety of the State. Friends Of
Nj. Carr at that time urged him 10 en-
ter the list, and to prepare actively for
the fight. With his usual magnauimity
Mr.. Carr refused to do so, and subordi-
mated his own candidacy to the good o.
The party until after the August election
was passed. The people OF North Caro-
lima admire the man who subOrdinates
his own ambition to party success.
No sooner had MIR. Carr announced his
candidacy for the Senate than the lead
ing business men OF all classes sprang
to his support. Manufacturers, farmers,
educators, men of learned professions,
and particularly the labOring men, recog-
niZed Julian s. Carr as the foremost
champion Of their rights. They saw that
he was no time-Serying politician. that
he had not heretofore held office. and
that his life had been devoted to the
upbuilding Of his native state. and they
well understood that with him in the
Senate, new life and energy would be
given to the industrial and educational
life of North Carolina. Can It be Won
dered at that when this tribune Of the
people visited plymouth, Williamson.
and Greenville and Wilson, tremendous
crowds greeted him, attesting his hold
upon all the people of the State?
The Confederate veterans of North
Carolina see in him a man who has re
fiected honor upon them, and upon their
cause. The farmers regard him as the
foremos opponent Of trusts and indus
trial combinations. The educators believe
that his life IS an earnest OF his love
for the rising generation. Ought not
such a man and such Il cause to succeed?
One word as to the proprieties of the
calGiaign: Did not delicacy require
that Dir. Simmons should have resigned
as chairman OF the executive committee
Of the Democratic party before mailing
his canvass for Senator? VIII not all
men ccncede that the State had been
saved 10 IEe democratic party Dy the
August election? IF Mr.. Simmons loved
the party so much as he processes TO do.
oIght he not, after that election. 10 have
pulled off the ar1nor which encased him
as chairman and fought a fair fight
on equal terms with his opponent? He
did no such thing. His management has
sought to enscOnca itself behind the
Democratic organization, and to say if
you DO not vote for Simmons YOU are
against the Democratic party. This is a
specious plea, my friends. It will fool
nobody. Mr.. Carr was voting the Dem
ocratic ticket when Mr.. Simmons was
wearing his bib and tucker. Mr.. Carr,
a private citizen, was spending thou
sands Of dollars for William J. Bryan in
1895. when the executive committee was
looking to Carr, and to Carr almost
alone, to furnish the necessary sineWs of
war, while Mr.. Simmons, q Federal Office
holder, was drawing a fat salary as an
internal revenue collector.
The attempt has been made to put Mr..
Carr in the light of fighting the Demo
cratic organization, but it has failed. lie
has demanded as d right that the Dem
ocratic organization, called into being tc
fight the enemies of Democracy, should
not be used in the interest Of the State
chairman against any other Democrat
The justice of that demand has been
recognized by the Democratic voters whC
have resented the policy of diverting the
Democratic organization from the pur-
pose for which it was created. Instead
of fighting the party organization, Mr.
Carr and Ills friends. have shown them.
selves to be the best supporters Ct
party organization by demanding that il
represent all the party. and not any
faction of it. 1t has been gratifying Il
see that, in spite of misrepresentation
the true position of Julian S. Carr is
understood and endorsed.
In war and in peace, at home an(

consistent, true and loyal son to his
State, to his country. to his party, anc

one iota of the life and character of thii
