To the Chairman Republican Exc.
cutive Committee, Second Con-
gre~sional District and Fellow
COuntrymen
Through your Committee | was
notified Of the action Of the Repup-
lican Convention assembled in
TarbOrO, n. G. on September 18th,
selecting me as their standard bear
er for this congressional district.
feel highly honored at your action
in thus mpIimenting me, az d will
promise to use every honorable
means to gain support and give
honor to the grand old party.
My fellow countrymeD, in com
ing before you advocating the time
honored principles Of the Republi-
eau party, | come not with words OF
villificaIion, abuse or OStraciSms,
but with facts only. ] will attempt
10 parallel the two parties in few
of their principles. The Republi
can party as unit on all things re
mains as one, when in their con
1 ventiOns they all agree on one com
monidea or plan, they run their cam
paigns along the same line, and
when elected to office they legis-
late along the same lines. The Re.
publican party has always stated in
national conventions their plans on
finances, campaigned right up to the
line, and when they meet in legis
lation they are of the same opinion.
Same is the case along all lines
tariff, foreign policies, etc. The
canal and every thing else they have
to handle they say emphatically
what they propose to do with the
tariff. They say what their policy
TX in regard to the PHILIPPINES, Porto
Rlca, Cuba, as also the isthIuial
canal, They run their campaigns il
harmony with their conventions
agreements, and in legislative hall'
al Washington unity prevails as did
during the campaign. The people
know by the political campaign %
the Republican party what lines o
legislation they will have when il
legislation they assemble.

products become high priced an
labor joins hand and all go slon
singing the well-pleasing notes {
prosperity and praises of the oil
Republican party.
Now let us see how unstable tt
Democratic party. They meet
convention and seem to make ba
gain to disagree on all things esse
tiaI. Their finances they have 1
definite purpose to put before Il
people because they do not agree
