Talking of his trip yesterday, lh0
Governor. said that in Cleveland couh-
w he felt so much at home ana SO
sure OF the friendship or the people
there that he did NOT much hlllu
making Il long speech, because ne
knew that he would be forgiven. Inc
county, he said, is filled with Soou'
substantial people who WouId hldhe
an impression OF the most favorable
sort on any one who came in contact
with them. They are prosperous
moral and INDEPENDENT.
Politically, says the Governor, the
county is III fine shape and there Is
great enthusiasm exhibited III the
Iolth-comlng campaign. Inc people
are pleased with the promise OF con-
ditio0s in the State and the chances
of success in the Nation. aud are con-
hdently expecting TO send III larBely
increased ma oTIty in the fall. Last
wear the Democratic majority from
cleveland was in the neighbOrhood OF
/ 600 out of a voting population or
about 5000, and this year the people
will be satisfied with not less than
:, 900 majority.
Although Mr.. Clyde Hoey, who has
been the very able Senator from the
district, will not return TO the General
Assembly his law partner, Mr.. *. L.
RVburn, has been selected to repre-
sent the county in the House. Mr..
tyburn is widely known as lawyer OF
great ability and man who has al
ways commanded the entire confidence
of the people. He Will be a strong
man in a body where strength of
character will be the rule. The Sem
atorshiD will not go to Cleveland TINS
wear. which accounts for Mr.. HOey S
not being returned. Mr.. Ryburn has
not heretofore been in politics, his
nomination coming to him as an eM-
preston of the peoples confident de-
sire for him TO represent them.
Asked as to temperance conditions
i'm Cleveland, Governor Aycock
laughed and replied that he didn't get
a chance to say anything about the
Watts law in his speech, rs the coun-
ty had been on = prohibition basis
long before that law went into effect.
Il don't believe there was a bottle
in the crowd, nor man that wanted
one, remarked the Governor.
During the progress or the meeting
the whole company sang with great
effect, men and women joining in a
swelling chorus. a popular campaign
song, written by Rev. DR.. w. b.
which goes to the tune OF
Dixie and reads as follows:
I'm Bound to Vote for Parker"
Roosevelt as Caesar masquerading,
Has seen his country's glories fading,
Look away, look away, look away,
from such man.
a cowboy in the nations saddle,
He throws his legs the earth astraddle,
Look away. look away, look away,
from such q man.
CHORUS.
am bound to vote for Parker.
Hurrah, hurrah!
For Parker now 1 take my stand,
70 work and vote for Parker.
1urrah! Hurrah! I'm bound to vote
for Parker.
With giant trusts the poor depressing,
The while the Southern coon caress-
ing,
he robs us of our competency.
While grander grows His Accidency"
That Dlutocras might win their mill !
lions,
He robs the treasury of it's billions.
