"A STRONG REPUBLICAN PARTY
WOULD BE THE WORST THING
THAT COULD BE ESTAB>
LISHED IN NORTH
CAROLINA"

Democrats in every section of the state
ought to exert themselves to give
large majority this year chiefly because
of the future effect it will have upon
the politics of the State. The wise people
who want progress and reform in North
Carolina are beginning to see that they
will be fastened through the Demo
cratic party if it's supremacy is unques-
toned than if it must always engage in
a hard contest with a strong Republican
PARTY For a time some able men belieV
ed and said that one of the good effects
Of the elimination Of the bulk of the ne
gro votes would be to build up strong
Republican party. They now see that
the contrary is true, that North Carolina
Republicansm is so WantingPn patriot
ism and virtue and courage to do right
that it can never be the agent for ac-
complshing anything good in North
Carolina. The appeals to the ignorance,
to the prejudice to the bitterness in men
that have characterized their discussion
of State issues. as we'll as their attempt
to saddle upon Cleveland the RESPONSE
bility for all the disaster of a genera
ton, has caused nearly all reputable men
who agree with the National Republican
party to refuse to have any part or lot
with the demagogues and fellows of the
baser sort" who compose nine-tenths OF
the leadership of the Republican party
Anda so the good men, who hoped that
the elimination of the negro would put
some virtue and decency into the Re
publican party have seen that their
hope in that direction is an "irridescent
dream" They now realize that "Eph-
RAIN is joined to his idols" and the North
Carolina Republican party is a hopeless
derelict when not an actual menace to
good government. TT re still remain
certain men who are 'epublicans and
wish TO see the Republican party
triumph, lacking the manhood AMI the
courage of their convictions, who con-
tinue to pirate about the need of 'inde-
pendence" and the need of making a
strong Republican party as a wholesome
restraint upon the Democratic party.
There is no strong Republican party of
character in any Southern State and
there will not be during the life Of this
generation.
The need of North Carolina is for all
progressive men to belong to the Demo
cratic party and to make it so invincible
that it may be the agency for progress
and reform, without the fear that Repub-

be as blind to the salient facts of the
era they are living in, as they are obliv-
ious of legal obligations.

they do it is only another instance OF
their complete indifference to the law OF
the land
"In 1894 receivers of a railroad were
brought into court on claim that la
borers ought not to be discharged be-
cause of membership of labor unions
Though the court was Federal court, il
sat in Pennsylvania and the petitioners
got nothing from that court.
But what followed? In a year or two
Pennsylvania made it a criminal offense
to deprive a man of work because he be-
longed to labor union. In 1898 Congress
not only did the same thing, but in a
statute providing for the arbitration OF
labor disputes expressly made labor or
CARNATIONS parties to such arbitration
This was in addition to the previous leg
providing for the incorporation of labor
unions. In ignoring them therefore the
coal operators simply ignore and con-
denim the law OF the land
The President, governors, senator's
business men, preachers, editors, have
spoken and written upon the
present coal strike, the responsibility
for it, and the problems growing out OF
it, but Mr.. Olney in a brief speech has
gone to the root of the matter, shown
that the Republican party is responsible
for the lack of respect for the law be-
cause it has not equally enforced the
law against the millionaire and the
miner His closing sentences have the
true ring. We quote:
I'm the course of the political cam
paign now going on Republican orators
are sure to wax eloquent in deprecating
change. To all such oratory, while
there are many good answers there is
one that is conclusive.
Law, supreme and equal for all men
is to the American people what the Ark
of the Covenant was to the Jews of old
While we have it, we need not fear fol-
our safety-when we lose it, we are far
advanced on the high road to ruin. Hence
if We would not enter upon that road
change and the displacement of Repub-
licanism cannot come too soon or too de-
ciseively."

Material prosperity drives people from

by history Most great men and leaders
come from homes Of the poorer classes,
because they are schooled to action from

HOW TO VOTE SAFELY.
WARNINGS AGAINST CARELESSNESS IN
MARKING BALLOTS.

Ia spite of the plain directions on the official
ballot a great many voters probably will in
validate their ballots to-day by making mis-
takes in voting split tickets.
To vote a straight ticket by making a cross
mark in the circle under the party emblem, and
making no other mark on the ballot. is so sim
pie and easy that any person should be able
TO have his straight vote counted as cast
There are two ways OF voting a split ticket
without losing the vote. The election law plain
" directs one way: making mark in the CIR
Gle under any emblem, but making cross mark
in the space 70 the left OF the name Of each
candidate the voter wants to vote for A voter
who votes a split ticket that way can be sure
OF having his vote counted cast.
The second way made legal by the directions
in the law as to counting ballots in accord
ance with the plain intent OF the voter, Is to
make cross mark in the circle under only one
party emblem and then making a cross mark
in the space to the left of the name of any can
didate preferred by the voter appearing in an
other column. This method of voting can be
used safely by voters who are sufficiently Ia
miliar with 1t and sufficiently careful not to
make any mistake If a voter has doubts how
| ever. the first way is the best way for him.
For careless voters these warnings might be
needed:
Don't make any mark on the ballot outside
circle or voting space.
Don't mark in more than one circle.
Don't use anything in marking except a pen
Gil with a black lead
Don't press SO heavily in marking the ballot
as 70 make a hole through the paper.
Don't fail TO fold the ballot, as it was folded
when YOU received il. before YOU leave the vot-
ing booth
Failure 10 observe any OF these warnings may
cause the inspectors Of election to throw out a
vote.
