WHY ITS sILENCE9

The Morning Post, printed by Southern
Railway officials to create sentiment to
help that road dodge just tax paying,
had more than a column yesterday de-
Tending certain Democratic nominees
who have not been attacked. What true
Democrats want to see in the Post if it
is now honest in support of the Demo
cratic ticket, is column defending the
head of the ticket from the false sland-
ers which the Post circulated against
him after it knew he would be nomi-
mated. 1t had plenty of space to praise
Russell when it tried to make him Chief
Justice. 1t has not line to devote to
defense of the Democratic candidate
from Infamous ISLANDERS of it's own and
other railway manufacture. Why?

On Saturday Mr.. Hills convention
was to be COMPOSED OF DEMO
GRATIS Today, as per the Warren cir
cular, those words are omitted. Why?
If Mr.. Hill authorized the omission OF
the words COMPOSED OF DEMO
GRATIS" it shows that he is looking
toward the Radicals. If his supporters
omitted it without his consent, it shows
that they know he has no chance in any
convention composed of Democrats"
and they have stricken out the refer
ence to Democratic support.

a Palmer and Bucker supporter.
The second county in North Carolina
to act upon the matter of Chief Justice
in the Democratic county conventions
was Warren. 1t unanimously instructed
its delegates to vote for Justice Clark.
That vote represented the sentiment OF
the white folks and Democrats of the
good county of Warren. Warren Demo-
Gratis are of the best type. They do not
make truer Democrats anywhere. They
considered the matter in all its phases
and determined their choice for Chief
Justice in May The State convention
ratified their choice in July. The Demo-
Gratis of Warren will ratify that action
in November.
Anonymous Radicals, calling conven-
tions of the Independent voters will
have no following in Warren county.
