thorized to say that he will secure an
additional Life Saving Station for which
an appropriation has already been made
by law to be erected at Beaufort. This
station was authorized sometime ago,
but there was some controversy as to the
location Of the Old Topsail Inlet. Mr..
Thomas presented. after diligent search
such proofs to the Superintendent of the
Life Saving Service as to convince him
that this station should be built at or
near Beaufort harbor.
This published statement represents in
part the immense amount of successful
work of Representative Thomas, and
there is no question but that if he is re-
turned he will be able to do much more
effective service in the 5Sth Congress.
The failure to return the present in
cumbent to the next Congress would be a
great loss to the Third District and if
he is returned he will be able to return
to his people in actual appropriations
and benefits even ten fold more than he
has been able to do in the past.

Al the recent State convention he made
the most powerful and convincing speech
that mas been heard in a North Carolina
convention in a quarter of a century.
Mr. Kltchin, in addition to the usual
service of securing free rural delivery
routes, etc. has spoken often in the
House, and always with power. His de-
Tense of Hon. w. T. Crawford in his con-
test was one of his ablest arguments.
The speech that helped him most among
his colleagues in Congress was his recent
one on The Philippine Problem" His
protest against reducing Southern repre-
sentation was very effective. His most
effective work has been on the Naval
Committee, especially in the armor plate
fight to have ships built in government
navy yards.
Among the most important results of
the last session was securing the appro-
priation for the public building at Dur
ham, for the enlargement of the public
building at Greensboro, securing the pas

HON. CHARLES r. THOMAS,
Renominated for Congress by the
Democrats of the Third District.

Hon. Charles Randolph Thomas was
born in Beaufort, N. c.. August 21st,
1861. He is a son of Hon. Chas r,
Thomas, who twice represented the New
Bern district in Congress. He was edu-
Gated at the New Bern Academy, the
Emerson Institute of Washington City,
ma dthe University of North Carolina,
graduating at that institution in 1881.
He began the study of law under his
father and finished his course at Dick
and billiards law school in Greensboro.
and was admitted to the bar in 1882. He
has continued without interruption the
practice of his profession. He was a
member of the House of Representatives
from Carteret county in 1887; was coun-
ty attorney of Craven from 1890 to 1885,
was presidential elector of his district in
1896 In 1898 he was elected to Congress
and was reelected in 1900. At that con-
vention of his party he was recently
unanimously re-nominated.
In the seth Congress as we'll as in the
57th, Mr.. Thomas has been constantly in
attendance upon the sessions of the
House. His record shows that he has
seldom been absent from his seat and
has never missed a vote upon the i'm
portant questions or failed to speak upon
the the floor in behalf of the interests of
his State and, district.
In the seth Congress among other i'm
portant matters of legislation he passed
the following bills for the Third District:
Bill appropriating six thousand dollars

a winning c;

pie by his speeches. He was elected by
a majority Of $50. He came to be one Of
the most useful and influential members
of the House. and as a member of the
Finance Committee rendered the State
valuable service. He was broad -guaged
and sought to impose the burden of gov
eminent fairly upon all the interests OF
the State. He was chairman of the Com
mittee on Insane Asylums, and was later
appointed by the Governor a director of
the Morganton Hospital He takes a deep
interest in the care of the insane. He is
a trustee of the Methodist Orphanage, to
which his father was the most generous
contributor. He and his brothers have
given a sum to erect chapel in memory
of their mother.
Mr.. Page is the best type of the bust
ness man in politics. He knows that the
interests of property as well as the pro-
lection Of person are safest in the keep
ing of the Democratic party in North
Carolina. He is largely interested in
railroading and other important business
enterprises. But he has time to help in
public affairs and to throw his weight on
the right side of moral questions.
Mr.. Page was nominated for Congress
i'm the Seventh District after a holly con-
tested fight between six of the strongest
young Democrats in the State. 1t was a
great honor to have been named for Con-
grcss; a greater honor to have been
chosen by that convention. Mr.. Page is
making a vigorous campaign, pressing
pure Democratic doctrine upon the people,
and making votes every day.

Washington from 1887 to 1890, and was

man of the Democratic County Commit
tee from 1889 to 1898 and Congressional
chairman in 1888. In 1896 he was Presi-
Dental Elector in the First District. He
is chairman of the public school board in
Washington. He was nominated for
Congress in 1878 and elected after
magnificent and hard fought campaign
He was reelected in 1900. Recently he
was unanimously renominated and is GER
tain to be reelected by a large majority.
Mr.. Smalls record in Congress has
given him place among the most useful
men North Carolina has sent to Congress
in this generation. He has been practical
and successful. He has secured for his
district a fine public building at Eliza
beth City, many mail routes, and appro-
priations for river and harbor improve
ments. He has also secured an appro-
priaton for the preliminary work upon
the long cherished plan for an inland
canal that would do more for shipping
than can be conceived of by those who
are not familiar with the far-reaching
importance of this canal.
Mr.. Small has spoken often in Congress
and always with ability and to the point.
He is deeply interested in the Industrial
progress of the State and shortly before
the close of Congress made a speech on
the Industrial Possibilities and Progress
of North Carolina that is the best single
document about North Carolina ever is
sued He is also leader in the educa-
tional revival and his primacy in that
important movement secured for him an
invitation to address the Educational
Conference at Athens, Ca. last spring
He was the only member of Congress TO
speak at that great gathering.
Mr.. Small is IN touch with whatever
will develop the resources of the State
and help forward the education of the
people. He is bold and aggressive,
powerful force for good in his community,
in his State. and in the halls of Congress

Springs. This important railroad was
first begun as a lumber road, to carry
the lumber owned by the Messrs. Page
to market. Later it became so important
an enterprise that the Pages sold their
lumber plants and now devote them
selves to the management of the Asheboro
and Aberdeen Railroad. Mr.. Page is
treasurer of that company. He is an
uncommonly capable and successful bust
ness man. All his success has come from
hard work intelligent zeal, and business
capacity of the highest order. When
many young men thought that life was
only worth living in the pleasures of
city life, Mr.. Page was in the pine lands
working day and night, laying broad and
deep the foundations of his fortune. He
is just to all who are in his employ, OBJ
tains and retains their confidence and
esteem.
In 1883 Mr.. Page was married to Miss
Flora Shaw, of Moore county. They have
four children. Prior to 1900 he had held
no public office, except mayor of Aber-
deem. In that year he was nominated for
the House in Montgomery county, made

nominated and this time elected after a
campaign which will ever be memorable
in Robson county. In 1900 he was again
elected to the Legislature. In the Leg
islature he stood we'll and was always
on the side of what he claimed to be
right and justice
He has always been friend Of cduca-
ton and for several years served on the
County Board of Education. From it's
foundation up to the last meeting of Fay
etteville Presbytery, when he resigned,
he served as trustee of Red Springs
Seminary. He is a trustee of the Uni
versity of North Carolina. He is the
author and introducer of the MaXton
Graded School bill and is one of the
school committee.
His life, both public and private, has
been above reproach, and the first stain
has yet to be cast upon it. He is totally
devoid of hypocrisy and sham and speaks
true to his own convictions.
He is an able and effective campaigner
an eloquent speaker and at home on
the stump Mr. Patterson is still young
man, not having yet attained his fortieth
