Simmons at Gastonia.
Especial to News and Observer J

Gastonia, N c., Nov 3-Hon. F. M.
Simmons spoke here this week to a large
and appreciative audience, and was in
troduced by Mayor Lewis, who said:
There are two great statesmen to-
ward whom the eyes of all true patriots
in North Carolina are turned today with
gladstone admiration. The one is Will
liam J. Bryan, of Nebraska, and the other
is F. M. Simmons, of North Carolina.
Concerning Mr.. Bryan it can be safely
said that he is the greatest living Ameri-
can He stands higher in the estimation of
the great masses of the people than any
other citizen in all these United States
He loses nothing in comparison with
Abraham Lincoln, Andrew Jackson or
Thomas Jefferson. AS a statesman. he is
without peer, and as an honest upright
citizen he has no superior. For honesty
of purpose, for integrity of character and
for truthfulness in statement he has no
superior in church or state in this or
in any other nation
Concerning Mr.. Simmons. Mayor Lewis
said he was the great statesman and
leader who had on three occasions led the
Democratic hosts to triumphant victory,
who in their turn will, on the 9th day OF
November, delight to honor him as their
most beloved son, by sending him to
the Senate of the United States, as the
most suitable man to take care of our
amendment and all the other interests Of
our beloved State"
| Mr.. Simmons made a strong speech on
the national issues, in which he pointed
out in clear and unmstakable language
the dangerous tendencies and teachings of
Republican policies as they relate to our
free institutions. He showed that the
foreign policy of this administration is
costing the people of North Carolina five
times as much money as we pay for all
our public schools Mr.. Simmons made
many happy hits and at times warmed up
to real true fervid eoquence.

MR. BUsBEE MAKES DENIAL.

editor, as | do not take the paper, with a
marked editorial, as follows:
"In an interview with the Raleigh cor
respondent of the Charlotte Observer. Z"
Mr. G. NJ. Busbee, Mr.. Simmons cam
paign manager, is quoted as saying:

PUTS cARR's MAJORITY AT $4,000.
Mr. Ed. Chambers Smith, Former State Chair
man, Thinks Carr Will Win.

Mr.. Ed Chambers Smith, ex-chairman
of the Democratic State Executive Com
mittee, was seen last evening and ask
ed his opinion as to the pending Sena-
torial contest. He said in part:
From all the information which /
have at hand. drawn from reports from
various parts of the State, and from in
terviews with well posted and represen-
tative men, am of the opinion that Cen
eral Carr's chances are exceedingly
bright and that. in the absence of any
decided change in the floating vote on
election day he will be nominated by a
safe majority. The estimate of Mr.
Foushee, General Carr's manager, of SO
counties certain for Carr, l concede a
conservative one.
General Carr's canvass has gained in
strength from it's beginning, but the
change that has come about in the last
two weeks IS remarkable incident Of
the campaign. Two weeks ago Carr S
strength in Eastern North Carolina was
insignificant to what it is today. Coun-
ties in which at that time he had scarce
ly appreciate support, he will divide or
carry. Notably is this true of Hartford
and Lenoir counties, the latter of which
adjoins the county in which Mr.. Simmons
spent his early life, is given on reliable
reports to General Carr
I'm Wake county the sentiment of the
people has undergone almost a complete
change since the beginning of the cam
paign. From en- almost unanimous Sim
mons stronghold it has become safely
fixed in the Carr column Mr.. Simmons
managers concede that the county is a
stand off," ard in view of the fact that
Wake is Simmons home county this
concession is significant of the universal
growth of the Carr feeling. The fact
will probably be that Wake will give
Carr from three to five hundred majority.
Carr is certain of that many or more
votes ahead in the country and the indi-
cations are that he will either divide or
carry the city of Raleigh.
General Carr has made one of the
most notable fights in the history of
North Carolina politics, He has faced
enormous odds. but the outlook is now
that he will overcome them and carry
the State by majority of at least $4,000
votes -

to detract from the merit of any compet-
ltor. We are all Democrats; we are
all members OF the same great politi-
cal household; we have fought side by
side its great battles; we have, by united
effort and undivided strength, achieved
its great triumphs.' In the spirit Of
that declaration, Mr.. Carr and his friends
have conducted the campaign. They put
their faith in the people-their spirit Of
justice and their love of fair play. They
have not sought victory by the abuse of
his opponents or detraction of his sup
porters. Upon the high plane set by
their leader, they have conducted the
campaign from start to finish His
triumph and by such methods will reflect
credit upon the wisdom and patriotism
of the Democratic hosts of North Caro-
lima.
Go early to the polls next Tuesday and
stay late. Do a great days work for
your candidate. The victory is ours-it
needs but to be registered

Carr For Senator

To the Editor:-Among the many un-
founded charges that are being made
by the politicians against the character
of Gen. Carr, because he has dared to ask
for high office in opposition to their
candidate, is that he has become rich
at the expense of the poor-buying their
products for less than their value, and
giving out in aims a mere pittance of
what he makes.
This charge is as silly and unfounded
as the contemplate scandals that are be-
ing spread in an underhand way about
this good man. The facts are that Gen.
Carr made his fortune by extending his
trade and he has given to the people in
aims and benefactions. drawn by his skill
and energy from foreign lands, more than
any of his detractors ever did, from their
accumulations both at home and abroad.
Gen. Carr has made a success and he has
shared it with the people He has done
in a quiet, orderly legitimate way what
the European powers and the imperial
lists of this country are seeking to do
by force and bloodshed viz: extended his
commerce.
Gen. Carr il the peoples representative.
He is we'll fitted to represent them in
the Senate and he is too well known
throughout the State to be injured by the
malicious untruths which his enemies are
whispering-not openly charging against
him.

Internal Revenue under Cleveland that
paid him about $4,000, while General
Carr, who has done equally as much work
for the Democratic party as Mr.. Sim
mons, and who has furnished great
deal more funds with which TO run the
campaign has never held any office
9Th Mr.. Simmons is a young man and
should wait for the honors of his party.
General Carr is now ifty-ive years DID,
just the right age to combine mature
wisdom and judgment which. with his
great love for North Carolina, makes
him, in our opinion, the man most fit to
represent us in the Senate.
7th. General Carr is man of the high
est personal character. His political re-
cord is clean. He has never attempted
to force other candidates out of the race
for the nomination for Congress in order
that he himself might be nominated to
the Senate. He has never sought to
place upon the Democratic ticket Pop
uiist for Congress, nor in any way to
dictate the action of a Democratic Con-
yention to further his own personal am
bition.
Sth. General Carr is opposed to Trusts,
fought them all his life. He owns no
stock in any trust, never did. and refused
20 go into one when the opportunity was
offered him.
9th. General Carr is an old soldier, and
served during the war as a private in
the Third North Carolina Cavalry.
10TH General Carr is the candidate OF
farmers, mechanics, merchants and la
borcrs. He is not a scheming, wire
working politician, but an honest, open,
broad gagged statesman. We have too
many paltry politicians and too few
statesmen in the Senate.
Now we have an opportunity to send
statesman in the person of General
Julian S. Carr to the Senate from North
Carolina, and we ask you at the polls to
cast your ballots for him and use your
influence for him. Yours, most truly.

Carr For Senator.

To the Editor:-At the election to be
held November 9th there will be box
provided in which every white man who
voted the Democratic ticket in August
last, or who votes for the Democratic
electors and Democratic Congressman at
this election can vote for his choice to
represent North Carolina in the United
States Senate as successor to Marion But
Ter.
General j. S. Carr and Mr.. f, M. Sim
mons are the candidates
Believing as we do, that in the selec-
ton of a man to fill so important a posi-
ton as this, we should select that man
who can and will best represent North
Carolina, and that we should select a
conscientious, Christian gentleman, a
statesman, and not simply a politician,
we ask you to go early to the polls and
vote for General Carr for the Senate,
Mr.. E. w. Pou for Congress and Mr..
Bryan for President
We must and surely will elect Ed Pou
to Congress. Give him your support on the
ground as well as your vote. 1t is impor-
tant that we elect Mr.. Bryan President
and that we elect General Carr to the
Senate, who will ably assist Mr. Bryan
in enacting into law every principle OF
the Democratic platform. We believe that
General Carr should be elected to the
Senate for the following reasons:
1st. Because we know General Carr to
be an honest Christian gentleman. and
a statesman in every sense of the word.
We believe that he will make better
Senator than Mr.. Simmons. He will rep
resent every vocation and industry in
North Carolina.
I'd. He is a strong advocate of free sill
Yer, and stands square upon every plank
of the Democratic platform, both State
and National. His reputation in the Uni
ted States Senate, as North Carolina S
most progressive son, will at once give
him prestige and influence in the Senate
that Mr. Simmons could not have.
3D. We believe that General Carr should
be chosen to the Senate rather than Mr..
Simmons, because all of the nine Con-
gessmen from North Carolina are lawyers.
Mr. Simmons is a lawyer; General Carr
is a business man and farmer. Will you
send solid delegation of lawyers to Con-
gress from North Carolina and then send
a lawyer to the Senate? Doesn't it seem
like the business and agricultural inter-
ests should have some representation
somewhere? Then let's send General
Carr to the Senate, who began life as a
poor boy. and who is now careful and
successful business man and farmer.
18th. Mr.. Simmons is a member of the
law firm of Simmons, Pou &c Ward. We
have already nominated one member of
this firm for Congress, E. W. Pou, and
will surely elect him by at least 1000
majority. Now, are you going to take
another member of this same law firm
and send him to the Senate? If so, it
would seem. politically speaking, that
there is nobody else in North Carolina
except this one firm.
9Th. Mr.. Simmons has had one term in
Congress and a position as Collector Of
