What about that ticket? James d
Parker. the candidate for solieitor, is q
negro-loving Radical from Johnston coun-
| ty. He is known only because of his
ridiculous performance some years age
when he got scared. His conscience trou-
bled him for his political wickedness. He
knew he deserved punishment, and he
imagined the Democrats of Johnston
county were going to do him some bodily
harm, and so he telegraphed Governor
Russell that there was great riot in
Smithfield, and tie Governor ordered the
State Guard to Smithfield to suppress it.
Parker is the only man who ever thought
he was of enough Importance to have
the Governor call out the State Guard
for his protection. The Wake voters will
not give him much comfort or protection
md when he is defeated in the district
oy 10000 majority he will not be able
to have the State Guard called out to
protect him from the shower of ballots
that will scare him again.
The candidate for the Senate is an old
hand at running for office and getting
defeated. He is the man who said in
1900, as he voted against the Constitu-
tional Amendment, ANY man who votes
for the Constitutional Amendment per-
lures himself" Do Wake county voters
want Senator to restore full negro suf-
frage if he can?
Of the House of Representatives ticket,
Mr.. Penny has declared he will not ac-
cept the nomination.
For Clerk OF the Court, the nominee
is Hill E. King. of Onslow county, whose
record as high light as a member of the
Manure Pile in Russells administration
has left an unsavory scent.
For Treasurer, the Sneaks have printed
on their ticket the name of Mr.. John w.
Hardin. When he heard that the One
Man Convention had put him on the
ticket for Treasurer, he promptly de-
Clared he would not accept it and in
structed them not to use his name. But
they keep it on Last night he said: 81
will not be a candidate and / request my
friends NOT to vote for me-" If the
Sneaks had any decency they would re-
Spect Mr.. Hardin's wishes.
David 1t Fort is the candidate nomi-
mated for Register of Deeds by the con-
vention composed of David 1t Fort. He
adds no strength to it and will be no Po-
litical Boss even of a one man conven-
ion after Tuesday.
Mr. Green, of Neuse, is still on the
ticket for Sheriff, though Mr.. Green de-
elined to permit the use of his name when
David 1t Fort first announced that he
had nominated Mr.. Green.
AS to the County Commissioners the
men named are old-fashioned Radicals or
Pcpulists and carry no weight.
Such is the ticket nominated in a con-
vention composed of David 1t Fort. 1t
would be a ring" ticket If more than
one man had been in the convention that
nominated it. AS the white voters had
aothing to do with nominating this ticket
they will have nothing to do with electing
it, but will have all to do with lambast-
ing ii to a dismal defeat.
If the registered Democrats all vote
on Tuesday, this Sneak ticket will be de-
feated by more than 5000 majority.
Democrats of Wake: Why not give all
lay Tuesday to hard work? If you will
do it Wake county will be the Banner
Democratic County in North Carolina.
All together for a majority Of 1000. 1t
is possible. ITO your tents, Israeli
