THESE BE FINE WORDS.

The following is from the last
issue of the Mount Airy Leader:
"Let the organization and the
rank and file forget that there is
any federal patronage, and remem-
Der that the party represents princi-
pies worth fighting for and so con-
duct the affairs of the party as to
deserve the respect and excite the
admiration of the business element
of the State, and there will be both
harmony and success. Make clean
and progressive fight and thousands
of Democrats in North Carolina who
believe in the national principles of
the party will join us in redeeming
the State, when the cherished dream
of many lifelong Republicans will
be realized in great victory at the
polls next November"
These be fine words, and if the
Leader will live up to them we will
be found side by side in the fight.
There ia no question about the State
making such a fight.

A TICKET THAT STANDS FOR PRIN-
CIPLE.

Every Good Citizen Can Vote the Repub-
Iican County Ticket of Catawba.
Hickory Times. Mercury
We can't see why any good citizen
cannot vote the County Republican
ticket. The men on it are all good
citizens. The Republicans should be
PROUD Of it. 1t is the only ticket in
the field that s'the office sought the
man." The other ticket is COM
posed Of men who "sought the
office'-and hence are Office seekers.
If single man on the Republican
ticket canvassed or got his friends
to canvass for his nomination, we do
not know which one.' The ticket is
as good as any party can nominate.
1t is the duty of every voter to cast
his vote where it will do the most
effective work for future good. We
believe that can best be done by vot-
ing the ticket nominated Saturday.
There are men on it that we would
vote for it matters not what ticket
they were running on. There are
many voters in the county of all
parties who will do the same this
fall. Then this ticket stands for
principles that every taxpayer can
say amen to. They are for lower
poll tax. The poll tax is the hardest
tax to pay. and yet more depends
upon it. The State, county and city
polls sometimes run up from 50 to
81. This ticket is pledged to plat
form which says it shall not be over
81 for all. We will notice the men
On it later, tell who they are. what

get any ''pride" out of it's record on

A Rule That Applies to Both Parties.
Shelby Aurora.
The Democratic press is trying to
to make great capital out of Secre-
tary Taft's declaration that "the
Republican party Of the South would
be better off if the Democrats held
every federal Office" If the condi-
tions were reversed and the Demo-
Gratis in control Of the federal gov
eminent, the Secretary would no
doubt truthfully say the Democrats
of the South would be better off if
the Republicans held the federal
offices.
The doctrine, that ''to the victors
belongs the spoils," is today recog-
nized by all political parties, yet
there is no Disgusting the fact that
there will always be more or less
friction in the ranks of the domi-
nant party over the distribution of
patronage and the opposite party
will make capital out of it for cam
paign purposes. 1t was so in the
days of Andrew Jackson, James X .
Polk and Grover Cleveland and it
is so today, and the smaller the fol-
lowing of a party is in any territory
the more noticeable such contests
will become. Have the Democrats
forgotten the scrambies in this State
each time Grover Cleveland was
President There were numerous
applicants for every office from store
keeper and gauger to collector of in
ternal revenue. The only difference
between now and then is, then the
Democratic press was silent on such
matters, and now they publish to the
world and magnify every contest in
the Republican ranks. So Secretary
Taft only stated a rule that is appli-
cable to either party.

LOCAL sELF-sOyERSMFST Sfo-
LATED
The Democratic party has always
that ii stood for the prin-
ciple Of local =e!fgovernment. and
that no other party could he trusted
TO preserve that great fundamental
principle Of Republic except them
selves. But what does the record !
show? II shows that the Demo
cratic p4rty, in respect 10 these pro-
f,.s=ed principles aud oft-Tepeated
promises, has continually failed To
live up to them whenever there was
a temporary party advantage 10 he
gained thereby. In short, we state,
without fear Of contradiction, that
the Democratic party has never yet
failed To desert aud spit upon the
doctrine Of local self-governD~n.
whenever they could secure an Office
by SO doing.
Has not the Democratic legislature
violated this principle every time
that mere wad an opportunity to APP
point a magistrate or county officer
in any county, If by so doing they
could prevent the people from elect
ing a person Of their choice who
would not be favored by the Demo-
cratic machine?
Not only this, but they have vio-
lated this principle in conducting the
great common school system. So
anxious have been the Democratic
leaders to increase the power Of their
party machine, that they have actu-
ally made political football of the
public school system, even at a time
when Gov. Aycock was declaring
that the great ambition of his ad-
ministration was to advance COM
mon school education. Governor
Aycock's administration, while max,
:, ing such loud promises and profes
sions, has not only most grossly mis-
managed the public school system al
, far as economy and efficiency is con
cerned, but they have made the ap

A GREAT pARTY oProRIUSTT
There has probably never been
time in the history Of the Republi-
can party when its speakers and can
dldate- could go before the people i
and appeal for their support with
more confidence than now. Never
in the history Of the American re.
public has there been an administra- |
tion that has more boldly, and patri- |
o. icaIIy, and successfully, fought for
great reforms in the interest Of all
tho people than has the present ad-
minisifa.ion under Theodore Roose-
welt.
Why should not this Administra-
ton command the respect and APP
peal with confidence for the support
of every patriotic American citizen
The R"publican party Of North Caro-
lima has stepped boldly tn the front
aad put themselves in line with this
great patriotic national administra-
ltiOn. Therefore, today, every Re
publican speaker and candidate in
North Carolina can go before the
people with a proud party record
and with a glad and welcome meg
sIgc.
On the other hand, the Democratic
party was never more divided and
never more on the defensive than
now. This being so, it behooves the
party from the mountains to the sea,
to pick out men of the finest ability
and highest character as candidates
for Congress, for Judges, for Solici-
tors, and for all county and legisla'
tive offices, and appeal to them to
make the race as a patriotic duty,
whether it should appear that they
could win in their respective coun
ties and districts this year or not.
In short, there never was greater
opportunity for Republicans to gair
as many recruits for the support Of
Republican principles, and therefore
to make great strides toward putting
North Carolina permanently in the
Republican column than at present
We believe that Chairman Adami
; will do everything within his power
to line up the organization and thu
rank and file of the party to seIzt
this great opportunity. Let every
Republican who believes in the prin
ciples Of his party, and who think
1t best for his State and for his coun
try for these principles to be tri-
umphant, to beetir himself now
as never before, to put thousand
upon thousands more Of votes be,
hind these principles of progress ant
prosperity.
This is year when every Repub
E lican candidate and speaker shoult
) challenge his opponents to join
discussion on every stump. This i
= a year when Republican candidate
or speaker, Of less ability than hi
opponent, will have great advan.
tage, indeed, will have his Demo
l cratic opponent on the defensiv
from the start. Then let the party
from township up, be careful no
to nominate any candidate who ha
not the character and the capacit,
a1d the courage to challenge his op-
ponent 10 a joint discussion, an(
carry the flag of his party with tri
umph and success before every audi
ence in North Carolina.

THE TARIFF NORTH AND SOUTH,
The Washington Post says:

"The tariff has become more than
ever question of locality, and the
sections are shifting ground in re-
gard to it. New England wants free
coal and raw materials, and the
South, which stood for free trade,
wants protection for cotton fabrics,
ironl steel, tropical fruits, and sugar.
If everyone were to vote according
to his personal views on the tariff
and his own interests, party lines, as
now drawn, would cease to exist"
This is interesting, and there is
much truth in it. North Carolina
is today no doubt benefited more by
State.
