HE CANNOT PLEASE THEM.

For more than month the stock
in trade of most Republicans has been
that Judge Parker was a sphinx
candidate, that he could not talk, that
he had no opinions or if he did he
concealed them. That has been the
burden of their song, kept up all the
more after it was announced that
Judge Parker would not go on the
stump.
Suddenly Judge Parker decided to
make a few speeches. Every time
he has spoken he has done execu-
ton and made the Republicans howl
with pain His first speech put all
the Cabinet officers on the stump, and
his second speech was what old hunt
ers call "a gut shot'-one that does
not Immediately kill, but compels the
victim to squirm and twist and below
at the top of his voice. That's what
the Republican orators have been do
ing since Judge Parker's first speech.
You just cannot please the Republi-
cans. When Judge Parker was ST
lent they abused him; when he talks
they abuse him. But when he talks
with emphasis and power, as he is
doing now, he is giving the Republi-
cans fits and they can't help cry
ing out with plain.

DEMOCRATS WILL NOT SCRATCH
THEIR TICKET To PLEASE
REPUBLICANS.

The Republicans have over-reached
themselves in the viciousness of their
attack on Hon. Francis d. Winston,
the Democratic candidate for Lieuten-
ant Governor. There are Democrats
who opposed his nomination because
he had once been a Republican.
There were other Democrats who in
tended to scratch his name on the
ticket because he voted and spoke for
Republican rule and was a Republic
can candidate for office prior to 1890.
But the Virulence of Radical attack,
instead of causing him to lose votes
will help him. There are men whe
intended to scratch his name who Will
vote for him as a protest against the
forgeries and lies circulated about
him by men who are now guilty of the
things they falsely assail him for ia
voring fifteen years ago.
Democrats will not please Republi-
cans. Besides. they do not wish in
any remote contingency to make a
Republican Governor possible. Writ

the attitude of Democrats toward
Judge Winston in Hartford county, a
leading Democrat writes:
Judge Frank Winston, as we call
him. is thoroughly known to every
good Democrat of Hartford and Will
receive every Democratic vote cast, L
think there are men, who never see
their wrong, but Frank Winston is not
among them, and we who know him
best love him best, and will most
heartily cast a solid vote for him next
Tuesdav."
Judge Winston lives in BERTHE coun-
ty which adjoins Hartford. BERTHE in
1898 and in 1900 elected Judge Win
ston to the Legislature as Democrat.
They and the people of Hartford know
his record better than the people of
any other part of the State. They
have forgiven him for his early politi-
cal mistake, were enthusiastically in
favor of his nomination, and will sup
port him unitedly at the polls. If his
near neighbors do this. Why should
any Democrat in any other part of the
State refuse to do likewise?

YOUNG VOTERS ARE DEMOCRATS

Fifteen years ago the Republican
not a few counties in North Carolina
where it now has little or no strength.
Why? The answer is found in the
politics of the young men of the State.
Here is an illustration of conditions
in many sections of the State record
ed in this weeks oxford Public Led
ger:
"Mr. w. w. Brummitt, the registrar
OF Bell town precinct, says he regis
tered twenty-four young men, all OF
whom will vote for the Democratic
ticket. This is a fine showing for this
enthusiastic Democrats precinct"
The young men of the State have
turned their eyes to the future. They
ignore the dead issues of the past
which naturally weigh with older men.
Most of the Republicans in North
Carolina are Republicans because of
issues growing out of the war which
ended forty years ago. Why should
their sons base their politics upon
questions long since settled? That is
the question the sons of many Repub-
licans in North Carolina have asked
themselves and their fathers. In
many instances, when father and son
nave talked it over and contrasted the
Democratic party Of today with the
Republican party of today they have
party. Some times the father has
said: 81 am too old to change my
politics and has been glad to see his
son join the party of Progress in
North Carolina In other instances,
when messy back prejudices have
dominated the father and he has
sought to tie his son to the body of
political death, there has come "a
parting of the ways" and the young
man has claimed the right to be true
come a Democrat, receiving a warm
welcome from the dominant party,
which is glad to welcome every white
voter in North Carolina into its ranks.
particularly all young men Who are
animated by desire to see their State
prosper and their section receive just
and fair consideration.
In North Carolina the young men
are flocking into the Democratic party
from Fopulist and Republican families
and they are often bringing their
fathers with them. In every township
in the State the Democratic leaders
can do nothing SO important as to
seek to influence all young voters,
those of Republican and Populist
families as well as sons of Democrats,
TO start right by casting their first
vote for the Democratic candidates
from top to bottom. In the future
every young man who is guided into
the ranks of Democracy will thank
the man who shows him the true po-
l.tical path.
Open wide the door end invite them
all to come in and share in the con-
troll of the affairs of this good State!
