senator }. G. Ellington, Sheriff Page,
Register OF Deeds Bernard and Treas
urer Williamson repaired to the HARM
son Hall where they addressed an in
terested audience of citizens from IN
and around the town. NOtWitnStand-
ing the cold and threatening wealth.
er and the busy season among farm
ers, a goodly number had gathered
and the stricteSt attention was paid
the speakers.
Congressman Pou was to have been
present, but having at last succeeded
III getting a chance at his opponent
in JOINT debate, he went to Plttsboro
instead. He will speak in Cary at
some other date.
The county candidates. were pre-
scented and in gracious manner eX-
pressed their appreciation of the loyal
support which had been given them
and urged that every Democrat go to
the polls on the eighth of November
and help to roll up the greatest major
ity ever yet polled in Wake county
for Democracy and clean government.
Mr.. Ellington recited some interesting
facts relative to the attempted steal
of the North Carolina Railroad b.
the Fusion Legislature, when a proxy

was about to carry out a scheme to
lease the road for a song without even
consulting the directors
Chairman Snow paid his respects to
the attempt of the few Republicans
N,it toll o. \
the disguise of an independent ticket
put out by a Citizens mass meeting"
supposed to consist of dissatisfied
Democrats, and the fact that their
nominees, almost to man. resented
the insult of putting them on such a
dsgraceful ticket by promptly deciin-
ing their nominations. He spoke of
the sacred right and privilege of
the American citizen to cast his ballot
in the choice of the nations rulers.
no matter how loWly the citizen, and
asked that every Democrat go to the
polls, not to help defeat the OPPOSE
ton ticket Cfor there really is none)
but in appreciation of their sacred
rights of citizenship and the rolling
up of the greatest Democratic victory
yet won in Wake county.
Auditor DiXon'S address was force
full and convincing. and made in his
own characteristic and humorous
manner, his many apt and
pointed illustrations delighting
his hearers. He discussed State
issues. showing that the Repub-
lican claim of extravaganza was to-
tally unfounded. saying that the Dem
ocratic administration had spent the
States money judiciously and wisely
1t had needed the cry of the old Con-
federate soldiers for help. the blind
and the insane had been provided
for. and the ~or children of North
Carolina had been given the four
months school term that was prom
ised them, and in many cases much
more. He attacked Roosevelt and his
neGrophobia, his reckIeSsneSs and
Radicalism and his colonial spirit He
also showed the present tariff system
to be unjust and burdensome to the
middle classes, and in favor of the
trusts and combines, putting millions
in their pockets annually which come
from the poor citizenship of the ma
ton.
1t was a good day for Democracy,
and Cary township will do her whole
duty on November the eighth.
One Republican who for years has
fought the party with all the bitter
ness of his soul said today that he had
his huff of Republicanism that
he was now in the Democratic line.
Today the speaking vii be al Myatts
Mill Saturday. noon. at Auburn, ana
Saturday night at Garner.
