the Democratic primary of the city and
will abide by the result of the election
to be held on Friday of this week

In order that the public may be cor
rectly and fully informed as to the pur-
port and meaning of the series of meet
ings held by the citizens of Raleigh, it

bled;
That it is the purpose and aim of
this movement, to secure the active and
hearty cooperation of all classes and
conditions of our Democratic fellow-citi-
zens, bankers, manufacturers, merchants,
mechanics and wage earners, to unite
with us in our efforts to secure a full
attendance of the Democrtie voters at
the forthcoming city primaries for the
selection of the city officials. AS only
by a full and free expression by bal
lot, at these primary ward meetings Of
the peoples choice of candidates for al
dermen and other city officials can the
people hope to choose worthy and com
petent men. to rule over and administer
the important affairs of our capital city
for the next two years.
Apathy and seeming Indifference upon
the part of many of our registered vo-
ters. have for years played a serious
part, by inviting and leading up to the
present state of things, creating the
very necessity for this unwelcome, but
necessary struggle to correct the evils
now so justly complained of, through that
silent but potent voice of the ballot,
as Invariably accomplished when the SOW
ereign people give full expression OF
their choice Of candidates at the polls.
The verdict of the people is always sure
and swift when the time is ripe for &C
ton.
