At the conclusion of the inquiry
into the question of the freight ear
shortage before Commissioner Prou-
ty of the interstate commerce COM
mission, which ended here, the com
missioner, shippers and railroad rep
resentatiyes agreed that all parties
would be greatly benefited and the
present conditions helped If a fair
exchange of cars among interstate
companies could be brought about.
This solution was first suggested by
the shippers, was approved by Mr..
Prouty and endorsed by the railroad
men.
1t is said that western railroads
generally favor free interchange Of
freight cars but that eastern roads
have refused to enter into such an
agreement The reason for this diff
ficulty, it is stated, is that eastern
railroads are profiting by present
conditions, and are using many
thousands of cars belonging to ives

REPLY TO Mr.. GUOGER.
A Haywood Democrat Writes OF
the Majorities Received by Mr..
Gudger in 1902 and in 1904.

To the Editor: Congressman Gudger is
circulating letter among his constituents
under date of March goth, which has come
to my notice. The letter is one of the
s'dear friend" and s'your friend" variety,
and makes quite an interesting argument
in behalf OF Mr.. Gudger's candidacy for q
denomination. In his zeal to impress his
friends, )" however, the Congressman either
deliberately or ignorantly withholds certain
facts. He states the case precisely as
would lawyer addressing jury-omit-
ting nothing that could be said in his be-
half, and admitting nothing to his preju-
dice. Such tactics are all right in court
house, for there such proceedings are en-
tirely legitimate. In political campaigns,
however, and certainly in an ante-conven-
tion campaign the case is altogether diff
ferent. A candidate with record should
be willing to stand or fall by that record,
for such will be his fate whether he so de-
sires or not. There is neither sense nor
reason in suppressing certain facts and en-

larging, upon others; the truth and the
whole truth is what the people want; the
truth and the whole truth is what they
mean to have. With this much as prom
ise, let US consider some of the statements
in the aforesaid letter which appear to be
contrary to the spirit of fsir play. Among
other things Mr.. Gudger says.
when I was first nominated, the dis
trict was in the hands of the republicans,
rellnquished it only after desperate and
bitter fight, ending in contest for nv
seat. l gave my whole efforts to the case,
sparing neither time nor expense;-as re-
suit redeemed the district"
Note that he says the district was in the
hands of the republicans when he was first
nominated. Technically, this is entirely
correct. Mr.: Gndger exercised his law
yer's license to the utmost limit when he
made that statement. For while it is true
that the district was represented by re-
publican in congress, still, it is equally
true that the district was actually in the
hands of the democrats. And why? Sim
ply for the reason that the Constitutional
Amendment had just gone into effect,
thereby disfranchising over 1000 negro re-
publicans in the counties composing the
Tenth District And more than that: In

legislature of 1901, OF which Mr.. Gudger

W"If the characteristics of the mind

the nomination of Frank r. Hewitt, OF

Mr.. Hewitt has been mentioned in
connection with the nomination for q
number OF years and his admirers have
determined to place his name before the
next democratic convention.
AS an unselfish and loyal democrat

Letter to Station Bros.

Dear Sirs: A property-owner of Show
hogan, Maine, had house to paint, and
'ssaved 10 cents gallon" by trying anoth-
er paint than Devoe.
But this paint was 10 per cent short
measure; 10 per cent of the liquid WAS
water; and 33 per cent of the pigment
barvtes.
How much. do you think. he saved?
One of the difficulties, in paint, il the
fact that cheat is as good as paint. till
you find it out; and lots of men go through
the werld and never fpd-out the cheats
that keep them poor.

cents more for Devoe: be glad to.
