Hon. Spencer B. Adams, Chair
man Republican State Executive
Committee, Saturday issued the fol-
lowing statement:
To the Republicans of North Caro-,
lima
The unfortunate dissensiOns that
of late existed in the party ranks
are now thing of the past. The
| party Is today united and the events
Of the past should be forgotten In
the light of the tasks that now con.
front us.
That the Republican party in
North Carolina is at the present time
more than ever before living, vi
+ tai force is conclusively proven by
the interest shown in our recent
State Convention. 1t is equally APP
parent from the recent Democratic
State Convention that the Demo-
cratic party Is dying of dry rot.
The numbers at its convention were
few, aud their interest, outside of a
few politicians, was noticeably alb
sent.
Today we are facing the future,
! not the past. We are face to face
with the tasks before us, and those
tasks should engage our entire atten-
ticn.
AS State Chairman / am the ser
want, not the master, of the party,
and my whole effort will be directed
! towards carrying out the will Of the
party and doing all in my power to-
ward electing every Republican
! nominee throughout the State.
In this task, however, / will be
, powerless unless every man in the
party gives to the organization his
loyal and earnest support. The great
principles upon which our party Is
, founded are we'll and favorably
known to the entire country. Under
the wise and able administration of
/ President Roosevelt our party has
i become, more than any other politi-
, cal party in the history of the coun-
, try, the party Of the people. The
people OF our State are beginning to
see and know that the Republican
party is responsible for much of the
prosperity that is apparent on every
hand, and knowing this, they are
! turning from the dead issues Of the
past 10 the living issues of the pres
ent and the glorious hopes of the fu-
ture.
Our State platform has been writ
ten, our ticket nominated and we
are now entering upon campaign
that means much to our party and
our State.
The issues are plain, the lines are
drawn, and the fight Is upon US.
But, however unassailable our
party principles, however commend
able our nominees, we cannot hope
to succeed without thorough organi-
zation and hearty cooperation on
the part Of the rank and file Of the
party.
I have no disposition to assume
the attitude of a dictator on any
party matter, but / most earnestly
urge that every precinct, every
county effect the best possible Or
ganizltion.
Each County should put a full
ticket into the field and work for
the election of that ticket just as
heartily as If the fate of the entire
party hung upon the result in that
county.
With principles that command
universal commentator and respect,
with ticket that Is above criticism,
and with thorough and active Or
ganization, we have every prospect
of success.
again repeatthat we should have
thorough organization in every
township and in every county, and
that these local organizations keep
in close touch with the State organi-
cation. / need not assure the Re
publicans OF every community that
L will at all times be glad to hear
from them and to give to them
every assistance within my power.

tive Committee.
