GEN. CARR, "THE MACHINE"
AND BUTLER.

11CAOO1SOA 11ClalQ, OCI ~ ASoO.
Gen. Carr in his campaign for the
Senatorship says he has no "machlne"
behind him, and that if he can have
"free ballot and fair count, he will
be elected. The following is the re-
port of his speech in the News and
Observer of September 23rd. 1900:
"If my friends will only turn out on
election day and work and vote, VIC
tory is assured. and aside from my per-
sonal Interest, 1t Is of the utmost i'm
portance that there be a free and full
ballot, and an honest and talr count"
Butler comments on this in the
Caucasian of September 9th, 1900,
and says: "Gen. Carr in a recent
speech at Mount Holly, declaring him
self candidate for the Senate, said !:
1t is of the utmost importance that
there be q full and free ballot, and an
honest and fair count Doubtless
Gen. Carr realized that In order to
have fair dealing in the Senatorial
contest, 1t is necessary to warn his
friends OF tho proneness of the Simmons
ballot-stuffing machine to commit
fraud. The fact that he regarded 1t as
'of utmost Importance that there be
an honest election proves conclusively
that there is danger OF unfairness,
fraud and stealing in the election, and
to prevent it, he calls public attention
to the great crime"
The utterances of Gen. Carr meets
the approval OF Butler and are evident
ly read by him with pleasure. They
also endanger the chances OF every
candidate for Congress, as in the event
OF contest after their election, the
statement by candidate for the United
States Senate that he fears fraud at the
hands OF men Of his own party, will be
a strong argument to be used by the
opponents OF Democracy against the
integrity of those who will hold the
elections.
The statement that he has no "ma-
chine" and that if he can have a "free
ballo: and fair count" he will be
elected suggests that he believes that
there is machine" and
that it will defraud him. If so,
who constitute the machine against
whom this charge is made? It must
be the members OF the State Executive
Committee, the members OF the differ
ent County Executive Committees,
the members of the different precinct
Executive Committees in the State,
members of the different County
Board of election, and the registrars
and poll holders and other democratic
workers,
These men have served their party
and State without reward, and frequent.
ly at great personal sacrifice. They
do not care for the charges OF theil
political enemies, but they will resent
them coming from Democrat who
aspjres to leadership in the party.

Judge B. B. Winburn In Roanoke
Chowan Times says:
Hon. F. M. Simmons is the man for
Senator. Like Moses OF old, he has led
the people out of the wilderness and
rescued them and their State from po-
I1t1cal darkness. He has done what no
other North Carollnian has done. He
like noble and heroic son of his peo-
pie, stood in front as no one else has
eyer stood, and at the expense of his
small estate, he faced the armed forces
OF our common enemies, and fred shots
which drove them from their strong
holds, calling US to follow him to vic
tory. We obeyed the call OF our chief
tain and victories were ours. Have we
any gratitude? Shall we show 1t? II
so, then vote for Simmons for Senator.
White people of North Carolina,
honor Simmons. He certainly has
honored you. He will honor you
again, If you will give him a chance.

CLAUDE KITCHIN'S CHANCES
SURE.

he 1s loudly applauoeo.
Mr.. Kitchin is one of the foremost
young Democrats in the State, both as
regards his knowledge OF the main
Issues before tie people and his power
to present these Issues. He is elo-
uuent, earnest and enthusiastic himself
and he never falls to stir his audiences
as he presents the claims of Democra-
cy and portrays the wrongs and oppres-
sion of the Republican party. Already
at the very beginning of his canvass
the Democrats are proud of him, and
every one who hears him Is convinced
that the convention at Goldsboro acted
wisely In nominating him.
These are pleasing features to con-
sider in his canyass; but a more pleas
ing feature still is the almost certainty
of his election in November. Besides
Mr.. Kltchin's own magnetism, and his
sure and certain support OF every Dem
ocrat in the District, there Is an influ-
ence at work amongst the Republicans
that Gugurs much advantage to him.
1t Is the result of a circular letter
issued by Congressman Geo. H. White
to the colored people.
White has recently sent out circu-
lar letter directed to "The Executive
Committee and Republicans in and for
the Second Congressional District"
In this circular White set forth the
reasons why he was not candidate for
the nomination to Congress again.
The third and last reason he gave was,
that he would not have the hearty CO.
operation Of many OF the white Re-
publicans in the State. He reviews
the fact that no colored man was ap-
pointed as census enumerator In this
District, OF in the State at large, as he
knows; and charges against Senator
Pritchard that his (White's) recon-
mendations for these appointments
were ignored.
He then refers in somewhat en.
phatic terms to the "Lilly White Re.
publicans" as regards their attitude to.
wards the Amendment to which thew
were favorable; and then declares tha,
he will never again follow the leader.
ship of Holton, J. Wiley Shook, H. L.
Grant and others of their stripe.
The colored people here have con.
strued Whites announcement of these
North Carolina white Republicans te
mean that they also are free to breai
away from the ties of the organized
Republican party. Some of theil
more intelligent men have said a,
much, and one who said it added tha
they feel free to vote for Hon. Claud,
Kitchin, If they choose, without th,
fear OF party persecution or party criti
cism.
This may mean tha. Mr.. Kitchi1
will get a pretty strong colored vot'
here and elsewhere in the District. A
all events, Mr.. Kitchinis election
quite sara; and the entire Distric
will not only be satisfied with him, bu
proud of him as a representative In th
United States Congress.

NOT ABLE TO DO HARD WORK YET.

a. j. Elliott Elected to Succeed the Rock
Islander MsttoOn Drops From the

ern Team CoIors.
The track men of Northwestern
university met yesterday afternoon
and elected A j. Elliott, of the class
of 1902, captain of the team in place

Last fall Sturgeon became i'll from

take a southern trip for his health.
He returned recently much improved,
but unable to undertake the work of
running the team. He will compete
in many of the meets, but will not do
any hard work until the weather be-
comes warm. He was asked to re-
consider his resignation, but refused.
Baseball Matters.
The management of the MattoOn
baseball team decided yesterday to
withdraw from the Indiana-Illinois
league. Unless outside parties put
in a team Mattoon will not be repre-
scented in baseball this year.
President Hickey has notified the
managers of the clubs in the Western
league of the colors of suits that have
been adopted by three of the clubs:
St. Joseph, black, with old gold trim
mings; Denver, dark blue, with white
shirts for home games; Omaha, dark
gray, with blue trimmings. St. Jo-
seph has claimed II minor league
players of reputation. They are:
Belden Hill, catcher; Doolin, pitcher;
Whited, pitcher; Cham berlain, John

Strike Settled.

The strike at the Morris & Lewis
foundry has been settled, but the re-
suit is the loss of large contract by
the firm. The difficulty between the
men and the management was the re-
fuSal by the former to do work ut the
prices prevailing in Moline, where
union rules also govern, the work in
question being on an S. 900 contract
entered into with Deere Il Mansur, of
Moline. The contract was forfeited
by Supt. NJ. p. Mckinley, of the
foundry, yesterday. Mr.. Mckinley
said the men returned to the shop to-
day and said they would be willing to
do the work at Moline prices, but
their answer was received too late to
save the contract.
