LOW Van !ney GXPeCI ~:
s.T.9.;.
The county campaign wax
eth warmer, and by reference
to our columns you will not
see a single solitary candi-
dates announcement. We
have before us some Florida
papers, every one of which
contain from fourteen to
twenty announcements for
public office, and we have
noticed that a few candidates
have SO announced themsel-
YES in some parts of North
Carolina. In Moore county
we have several papers, but
if either of them contain such
a thing as an announcement
we are not able to locate it,
and yet our primary is only a
few weeks off.
How can these people eX-
pect the newspapers to enthu
siastically advocate their
claims or publicly proclaim to
the public that they wish such
and such an office. Do they
think the newspapers are run
by gas and that the gas flows
from the air-without money
and without price?

SHAMEFUL NONSENSE.

and by a combination with Dem
ocratic Senators can probably de-
feat the measure.-Halifax (Fla.
Journal.
The journal never uttered more
nonrense in as many words before
in its life. This silly effort at cen
suring the Democrats because the
beet sugar men and their friends
clamor for the principles Of high
tariff and continued protection for
infant industries should be classed
with other Sat sea" manuevers by
the Republican leaders at Wash
ington, for it is we'll known how
the Democrats stand as regards
tariff legislation.
Our esteemed contemporary
we'll knows, in spite Of the fact
that the Hon. Marcus Aurelieus
Hanna is trying to prove other
wise, that the late President Nc
Kinley, during his trip to Buffalo,
emphasized the tact that
Gle would not advocate any
step that would remove the pro-
lection from American labor and
American industries"
If the Journal will prove that
these are not the words of the late
President, then we shall be better
prepared to accept the effort now
being made by President Roose-
welt and the Republican majority
to convince the people that
this Reciprocity measure is
policy outlined by ex-President
Mckinley.
Senator Burrows has put this
strangely weak majority in a po-
sition where they can compromise
themselves by voting for chill to
authorize the President to negoti-
ate a treaty with Cuba"
Palmer cowardice was never
more apparent than is exhibited
by this Republican majority, and
this compromise arrangement is
nothing more than defeat for the
Reciprocity measure, for which the
majority are directly responsible,
We further call the attention OF
the esteemed Journal TO the fact
that Nebraska has repudiated her
two beet sugar representatives and
endorsed Reciprocity in the strong
est terms possible.
And yet the beet sugar interests
and the Democrats wiped out a
Republican majority and defeated
Reciprocity.

power than when fitted with solid rub
ber tires; and in stopping, the solid
