The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1906-07-26

Rowan County is a Democratic
County. It has the Watts law in
double force and effect in Salisbury.
Since the black murder of q whole
family in the night time near Sails
bury Mr.. Simmons should call his
platform committee together and
change that clause in it which says,
"Under Democratic rule in North
Carolina the citizens do not have to
guard their homes."-Hickory Mer-
curry.
The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1906-07-26

With the negro question settled,
the scarecrow Of Imperialism torn
to shreds, and free silver relegated
to a place on the shelves of old Gu.
riosity shops, the Democratic party
must speedily look around for new
sources from which to derive its
campaign ammunition.-Daily In

The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1906-07-26

The Republicans of the Goth Dis
trict comprising the counties Of
Wilkes, Davie and YaGIin, have
nominated Rev. Solomon d. Pool, a
Baptist minister of Yadkin, for the
State Senate. The district is over
whelmingly Republican and the
Democrats will hardly place man
in the field.-Hickory Mercury.
The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1906-07-26

If there has been any cessation in
crime since the Democratic "good
government" took charge of the
State the record from day to day in
the daily press fails to substantiate
the claim, and the assertion of the
recently adopted platform of that
party falls fiat on the public ear
Union Republican.
The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1906-07-26

The newspaper directory for 1905
shows that North Carolina has only
fifteen Republican newspapers-or
one for every six counties. This
shows that if Republicans read
newspapers they either read the
democratic variety or go out Of the
State for their reading matter. If
the State is to be ever put in the
Republican column the Republicans
will have to wake up to the fact
that the press is the only medium
through which the change is to be
made.-Randolph Bulletin.

New Worthwhile policemen hunted
high and low all night for her. 12-year-
