A GREAT SPEECH BY
HON. R. B. GLENN.
With Fervid EIoquence He
POrtrays the Grand Truths
of fDemocracy and the
FaIsity of Repub-
Iicanism.

The audience that heard Hon. Robert
B. Glenn, of Winston, speak last night
in Metropolitan Hall was swept along OIL
a great current of Democracy's truths
that burst away the feeble buttresses of
Republican sophistry and error and
reached the ocean bearing these wrecks
for deep and lasting burial
1t was a magnificent speech, and the
people left the hall with cheers on their
lips. Mr.. Glenn began with a contrast
of Republicanism and Democracy in
North Carolina, and held the story of the
two parties from reconstruction to the
present, showing how under Republican
and Fusion misrule came blight and ruin
from which Democracy had rescued the
people He told of what the white
mans party had done for education. for
the afflicted, for the old soldiers, and how
the Republicans had squandered and
stolen and debauched the State.
In National affairs he discussed the
tariff, the trusts and depicted the Re-
publicans as the party for the few, while
Democracy stood for the people. BY
facts and figures he showed that the
tariff -fostered trusts were robbing the
bulk of the people for the benefit of the
few. His handling of the coal strike
problem was a convincing argument
against the Republican party.
1t was a speech to enthuse Democracy
and to win votes. He carried hi~ aud
ience with him and he was cheered again
and again. AS one who heard it all well
said: at was gully washer and a
trash mover"
1t is impossible 10 give a full account
of his splendid speech in this early edi-
tion, because of the hour at which il
closed. As his splendid speech ended
there were calls fsg Congressman Pou
who thanked the audience, but declined
to speak 1t was great night for De-
mocracy in Raleigk

REGISTRATION is SLOW.
Roll Increased Yesterday and But Two Weeks
More to Close

There was an increase in the registra-
tion in Raleigh yesterday and reports
from the county say that this has been
the case at every precinct, though the
rain yesterday kept many away.
The negroes are hardly registering at
all. and in the entire city yesterday af-
ternoon less than a dozen negroes had
put their names on the books. The vast
majority of the whites register under
the grand father clause" but the reg
istration is proceeding very slowly.
There is left now only two weeks in
which to register. as the books close on
the 25th. Saturday week. If man wants
to vote delay is dangerous. The safe
thing to do is to go and register at once.
