Greensboro, ~ c.. Oct 17.-An ever
flowing house and an audience fcn of en-
thusiasm greeted Hon. w. w. Eitchin at
Proximity last night So great was the
enthusiasm at times that the speaker
had to ask the crowd to Gcaist.
Mr.. Kitchin is known as a line apcak-
er, but he surpassed himself last night
His purpose was to answer the charges
made against him by Lindsey Pstt .rson
To do this and at the same time make
a speech covering the absorbing issues
of the day was a difficult task, but this
Mr.. Kitchin successfully accomplished.
\ He explained his efforts TO get Mr.. Pat
terson to speak with him, all cf which
had been futile; then he -ook UP ne
charges Mr.. Patterson made against him
and tore the stuffn out of them. He
showed from his point of view that Mr..
Patterson was not a Democrat desiring
Democratic success, but a Republicans
that in Forsyth county he was in favor
of electing the Republican ticket and
could not deny it and that his was one
of the reasons why he could not face him !;
that if asked whom he would support srr
Speaker of the next House, if elected, ne
dared not say.
No man, he said had a riShJ to sail
under false colors; he haG Legal righ
TO be a Republican. though he was doubt
full about the morals right of it.
Mr.. Patterson had charged that the
speaker would destroy the banks of
Greensboro, when, as a matter of fact,
he had worked to sustain the banks
spoken Of. He had voted against the
Fowler bill which would authorize the
metropolitan banks, the very large banks
of the cities to establish branches at
will: this would create a monopoly and
drive out the small banks. an injustice
not to be thought of. just as the great
American Tobacco Company had driven
every independent manufacturer from the
field.
Pattcrsons charges against him about
the currency bill were likewise exploded
completely. He had voted against the
Philippine cable bill for two reasons
there was a Job in it and further. he
thought we were a little too mixed up
with that country already and it was
not desirable to get any closer His posi-
tion on the Philippine question was made
clear and that the audience was in sym
pathy with him was shown by the ap-
pIause, at times long, loud and contin-
uous,
Not Che least interesting was his rcfu-
tation of the charge of Patterson that
hc-Kitchn-was opposed to corpora
tions He said he was opposed to all
trusts, but that all corporations were
not trusts bv any means: then he eX-
planned the difference, using the American
Tobacco Company as an illustration Of
q trust and he made it so plain that any
enc could see it, while he made it hot
for all trusts.
With great power and logic he drove
every illustration home The great bulk
OF his hearers were mill people and his
speech was very effective.
