HON. JOHN S. WILLIAMS.

The programme of Hon. John Sharp
iWilliams' tour Of this state has been
arranged. He will make only three
'speeches-at Statesville October 18th,
lat Greensboro 18th and GOldsbOro
10th. This will give the central west,
the center and the east opportunity Of
hearing him. We are sorry that he
will not be able to make more speeches
in the state and that he has not been
booked for our city. He would be
igiven a hearty and warm reception
here. Our people would be delighted
to heal him and a speech from him
would do good in this section, for tho
democratic vote is not going TO be
large unless something is done to
the people and make them
more enthusiastic over politics. There
is too much apathy in the party in
this section. Unless something is
done the full democratic vote VIII not
be pOlled. The state committee
should send some speakers here who
can rouse the masses OF the party to
a fuller realization Of their duty to the
party and to the state. Mr.. Williams
would be the very man TO do that
hope Chairman Simmons Will take
this matter under consideration and
see if something cannot be done. 1t Is
necessary if he wants the full strength
of the party brought out on election
day. This is no idle talk. It's cor
rec-ness will be shown on the day of
If nothing is done along the
lines suggested. OF curse there is
no danger Of the democrats losing any
Of the counties in this section. but we
want more than a mere majority in
these countess; We want the full vote.

IN CUBA.

Politics in general and The affairs or
the present administration IN Cuba
must be rotten, indeed, for Secretary
Taft to have been led 10 make for
publication the statement he gave 10
the press on Tuesday. Il IS not Mr..
Taft's habit 20 be so outspoken and
communicative with the public about
Official matters he has IN hand. when
he announced that he vas disguised
with the methods Of the government
there you may be ure things are IN
a bad way. II would be natural for tn
Washington government I o want 10
sustain the Palma administration
were il possible 10 do 50. Il IS evil
dent that Mr.. Taft has through his in
vestigation found that the government
is 70 corrupt hat il cannot have
the moral support of the American au-
-horities. This. of course, complicates
matters all the more; for the question
is, how are conditions to be improved?
This can't be done with the present
administration. in power; then what
is 20 be done TO give the island a new
and more honest administration is
the difficult question to be answered.
1t Won't do to make no interference in
behalf Of peace. If the Cubans are left
t0 rhancp1yaS conditions -rha ic-
land will soon be as bad as they were
just before the Spanish-American
war. Our government is in honor
bound to protect the lives and the
property of the foreigners who have
made their homes and invested their
money there. It cannot declare hands
eff and leave it TO the ~contending
parties TO settle the dispute between
themselves in the manner they prefer.
They would never settle it There
would be a repetition Of revOlts and
revolutions or % likely one CON
tinuous warfare until some European
power stepped IN and took possession.
II is not a question Of choice with the
United States; it is a case of necessity.
She is bound to act. She has got to
establish and maintain a stable gov
eminent on the island, and if she
cannot do so through the instrument
tality of the Cubans themselves she
must do so by the force Of American
arms. We do not see how any one can
deny that. It is not a pleasant posi-
ton for our government to be in. but
1t is the natural consequence of its
interference in Cuba while the latter
was a Spanish possession.

IMPORTANCE OF PARTY UNITY,

The Delaware republicans have two
tickets in the field and the democrats
have hopes Of carrying the stat SAYS
an exchange. Not much. Just wait
until election day and you will see the
republicans of the two factions come
together and vote one ticket or the
other or support a compromise ticket.
with such unanimity that it will be
hard to believe they had been fighting
each other for months. That is where
the republicans have the advantage
of the democrats and really show more
sense. A split in the latter party means
defeat. When democrats get MAD with
each other they stay mad and cary
their enmity to the polls. There NAV be
just as bitter strife in the republican
party up to the time the polls are OPEN
ed, but Their it disappears for the next
twelve hours and all are for the time
being good party men, mor interested
in the election Of their ticket than the
success of their factional fight.
New York state just now is a fair
illustration of this difference between
the two parties. There is serious Iii
vision in both parties in that state.
Their conventions met yesterday and
nominate candidates for governor and
other state offices. There is a strong
faction in each party which opposed
the nomination of the successful as
pirant. Just wait until election day
and you will see the republican candi-
date get the full strength of his party.
while there will be thousands of demo-
Gratis who will not vote for theirs.
Thus it has always been with the TWO
partie. and it has often caused demo-
cratic defeat where that party was en-
titled TO victory because of possessing
an absolute majority in the territory
voting. IN Il " state the demo-
cratic leaders should bend al their
energies to polling the full suength-
That IS all We need to win an over
whelming victory over the enemy. To
solidify the membership and induce all
democrats to vote the full ticket should
be the aim of the campaign managers.

FOR RUFF

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. 1.-Poli-

into the graft investigation today
than at any time since Langdop
and Heney sprung their sensation.
P. II. Mccarthy and o. A. Tweit,
moe, president and secretary, re-
spectively, of the State Building
Trades council, in a signed state
ment declared the sole object Of
the investigators is 10 bring about
the defeat of Theodore Bell, whose
gubernatorial candidacy has the en-.
dorsement of union labor, and
elect Gillette. Tveitmoe says it Is
proposed to take sufficient strength
from Bell to insure Peabody gov
ernor for California.

politicians are working both ends
against the middle In their en-
deavor to raise enough dust to

will not succeed" he declared.
The Langdon people declare the
statement entirely inconsistent
with actual conditions, in support
of which they point to the fact
that Mccarthy and Tveitmoe are
defending Ruef In the present in
vestigation. They point out that
Ruef was very largely instrumental
