Vets for Simmons
To the Editor:

To the Editor:
We. the undersigned citizens of the
county of Greene and old Confederate
soldiers, desire to address you in behalf
of our friend, +. NJ. Simmons, who is a
candidate for the important office Of
United States Senator. We do not be-
lieve that any citizen of North Carolina
has a right to demand the office of scna-
tor on account of political service alone,
or on account of the money he has spent
for sweet oharity's sake Character,
political experience and capacity to deal
with questions Of politics and statesman
ship are the qualities which we need
in senator, and knowing as we do that
Mr.. Simmons possesses all these i'll as
high. if not higher degree than any 9th
or aSpirant, we believe that for this rea-
son and also on account of his most
valuable public services, the eastern sen
atorShip ought to be conceded to him.
As eX-COnfederate We are glad to see
political honors lavished upon the old
soldiers. and truth compcls us to admit
that the old soldier has received his
share Of public office in North Carolina
since the war. Senator Ransom, Senator
Vance and Senator Jarvis were all Con
federate soldiers. And so it has been
with the office of governor. Governor
Vance. Governor Jarvis, Governor
Scales. Goveror Holt. Governor Fowle
and Governor Elias Carr, weTe all Con
federate soldiers. And 50 it has been in
the Congressional districts of the State.
No man can truthfully say that the
young Democracy of North Carolina has
neglected the old Confederate soldier.
The issue upon which the State cam
paigns of 1893 and 1900 were fought and
won was more serious to white people
than any with which We had been con
frOnted since the war. It was Simmons
who organized our forces for the mighty
conflict. and it was under his splendid
leadership that we achieved the trium-
plant victory of August 1900.
We must not forget the personal Sacri-
fees that he made: we must not forget
the tremendous energy he displayed in
fighting for the suppre SSlon of negro
domination and Radical r,lle in North
Carolina: we must not forget his price
less public services. If the great Demo
cratic heart Of North Carolina is still
moved by considerations of justice and
gratitude and duty. we believe that Sim
mons will he named at the November
primary as the Democratic candidate for
United States senator.
As ex-Confcderate soldiers who served
through the war and fought many bat
ties. and as Democratic citizens of North
Carolina. we shall take pleasure in cast
ing our ballots for +. NJ. Simmons for
senator. and we call upon our old com
radeS and fellow Democrats all over
North Carolina to unite with Us in per-
forming this solemn Democratic duty.
