IMPERIALISM AND ANARCHY
HERE IN NORTH CAROLINA

The Democratic machine In this
State is already bowling against
Imperialism in the PHILIPPINES.
This is the machine that inaugura
ted The reign Of terror in certain
sections Of North Carolina to intim.
idate voters and to rob ballot boxes
and to break up free speech by
means of redshirtism, ruffianism
and and anarchy. These things are
worse than Imperialism. Let those
who are honestly againt imperial
Ism denounce 1t at home, and be.
gin at home to practice what thew

before being against that which
may exist In the islands of the Pa.

hundred votes in Sampson county by
throwing out four large Popullst
townships, carrying that many P,p-
ul,st mai 'r,ty without any cause

enough to count in tbs Democrats.
So their mex, step was to order the
Dem ocratic election ttfi ,ials Of Bia-
den county to send up the returns
with Mr.. K snnedy's nsme wrong.
We notice that several D. m ooratic
papers have tried to explain that Mr..
Kennedy, the -Populist Ssnst r, was
defeated because his name was print
ed wrong on the ticket voted for in
Blsden. This is aosolutel untrue.
The CAUCASIAN has in its possess.

cry one is printed right; aud, be-.
sides, the returns from the precincts
10 Baden in all the townships except
one were sent in with his name spelled
correctly. Tue devi:try was con-
mitted by the Dem ocratic e6uuty re-
turning board Of Baden. These Dom

Indicted. Mr.. Kennedy should con-

Simmons and Aycock were both
