ing each other: cease complaining:
cease ordinations. and recrimfnations.
and get rcady for the next fight against
the common enemy In the name or
the democratic party. / appeal for har-
mony. Let Us bury our differences. for
get discussions and present a solid
front. Nc man ever had truer and
more loyal friends than I have had in
his contest, not only in this city and
county. but In every county in the
state. They have worked hard for me;
they have given their time: they have
made sacrifices: they have worked
earnestly and intelligently. The re-
suit is a majority sufficiently large.
not only TO crafty me. but to vindicate
me against any aspersions that may
have been cast against me in h heat
of the contest. Advices received indi-
cate my majority will exceed $1,000. Il
has been my ambition al along to win
by as big a majority as You gave Ay-
cock in August. II may not quite reach
sc, 600, which was his majority. but ii
will not fall far short of IL IL Is enough
and / am satisfied.
News from the national is lot alto
gether satisfactory. II may be that We
have lost our great leader. | do not de-
spair. but news fills me with doubt and
more JOY l feel in my personal tri-
umphs. II we have lost Bryan. II is
the nations loss and to democrats OF
North Carolina who have supported
him so earnestly and so loyalty IL is 4
personal loss as well. What Il grand
thing it would have been to have elect1N
ed this great man and champion or the
people president OF the United States.
My term as enator will extend for
six years from next March and. If We
all doubt. we will elec: our president.
and / will have two years more. and
then we will take possession OF the
places now filled by the enemy.
Information from several congress
sional districts indicate that we have
elected eight out of nine congressman.
/ hope We have elected all nine. but.
however that may be. with eight men,
bers in congress- and one senator in the
senate the white people of North Caro-
lima may feel assured that il OF ac-
count of the amendment We have pass
ed, our party shall be attacked, We will
not have to go to other states to find a
champion, as we did when we were at
tackled in the senate last spring.
