impossible for us or anyone to say

this: Had it not been for the dis

THE EMPLOYER AND THE EMPLOYEE

Certain Democratic newspapers
in the State are now denouncing
and ridiculing one NJ. F. Bowling,
who was captain of the redshirt
mob in the Wilmington murder in
the last campaign. We have been
informed that after Bowling and
his redshirt mob succeeded in break
ing up several election precincts,
stealing several election booksfalsify-
ing election returns, and after the
numbering of sufficient number of
negroes, that this same Bowling was
presented with cane and publicly
thanked for his great services.
Since then Bowling was summonsed
to Washington to testify in the
Bellamy- Dockery contest. Whether
he told the truth in his testimony or
not, we do not know; but we do
know not single Democratic news.

single statement in his testimony as
being false. Apparently he told in

further that his evidence should moi

what the CAUCASIAN would like te
know is this: Which is the greater
crime, to rob ballot boxes and stea
a mans vote and falsify election re-
turns, and be party to numbering
innocent citizens, or to be simply
caught in attempting to rob mar
of his purse. Of course a man VIII,

TOLD.
The head of the redshiru mob and
ballot box stuf6ng machine In this
State Is quoted as saying that it is
time to stop argument and to pro-
coed to action. That statement
coming from the head of party
machine, FIVE months before an
election, means that that machine is
afraid Of argument and free speech.
This is natural. We did not ex-
pect anything elese. Nothing could
be more fatal to Mr.. Simmons and
his ballot box stufing machine than
discussion and argument and free
speech in the press and on every
stump in the State. Mr.. Simmons
realizes that free speech must be
stopped, or the people will see the
danger and infamy of redshirtism
and vote-stealing, and decide to cast
their votes in August to condemn
such men and such methods. There
fore they have resolved to at once
appeal to prejudice instead of reason.
They have decided to deal exclusive
ly in lying abuse and to organize
early the redshirt mob of violence
and anarchy. This is their only

to state that Attorney GeneralW alser

We have been urged by many of
our subscribers to make a campaign
rate for the CAUCASIAN till the
State election next August. They
say that they could get many per-
sons to subscribe In clubs who do
not take the paper with low spe-
cial campaign rate.
In response to these requests we
make a Is cent rate for the State
campaign, provided that they are
sent in clubs Of not less than four.
That is for ST. 90 we will send fou,

gust election.
With this very low campaign rate
the friends and supporters Of honest
elections of liberty and manhood
suffrage should send Us at least ter

THE ROOTOF AN EVIL

There is talk Of repeating the
Fifteenth Amendment. This would
get at the root of an evil-wipe it
out ."-Winston Sentinel.
THE CAUCASIAN wishes to say to
the Winston Sentinel that if that
proposition were submitted to the
people of the State, or any other
proposition that would get at "the
root of the evil" that we would
cheerfully support it. The called
meeting of the Democratic Legisla-
ture, which meets In June, can offer
such a proposition instead Of the
dangerous and unconstitutional
that 1t has offered, and if it will
offer such a proposition THE eau
CAsIAN will support it. There is
no one In the State who wants to
see the time come, and come quick,
more than The CAUCASIAN, when
every citizen can have free speech.
| and when every great economic
proposition of vital interest to the
masses Of the people can be dis
cussed on every stump without hav-
ing the tricksters and designing
politicians Of the Simmons stripe
to raise the cry Of niger, behind
which to hide their records and
with which to divert the attention
Of the people. THE CAUCASIAN will
go as far and do as much to see this
day and to accomplish this result
as anyone else in North Carolina
but we cannot and will not take the
risk Of DISTINGUISHING fifty or sixty
thousand white men in supporting
a doubtful and dangerous scheme.
