CHALLENGE TO SPECIFY.
GAS to duplicity, / challenge him
To speclfy. AS to treachery, l again
challenge him to specify. Ii Is true
that Josephus Daniels has charged
me with treachery for leaving the
Democratic party; he has also
charged me with treachery to the
Pcpulist party when l went into the
Republican party. Mr.. Adams has
again borrowed this word from Mr..
Daniels. Thus he serves notice on
every recruit that if they should
dare 10 leave their former political
Associations aud come into Adams
patronage machine and make 1t
grow uncomfortably large, they will
be branded by Adams as well as by
Daniels with the charge of treaehery.
"Mr. Adams says further that
since he has read me out OF
the party that he can now pro-
coed TO build up the party on the
right lines. The only friction that
has occurred between Mr.. Adams
and myself has been over his
efforts to kill the Daily In
dustrial News, and also his actions
in doing that which would make
the party grow smaller instead of
larger. His methods in building up
the party are like the efforts of the
frog In attempting to get out of the
we'll by climbing up two feet during
the day and falling back three feet
during the night. The small boy
long ago figured out where the frog
would soon land.
READY TO COMPARE CHARACTERS.
"Mr. Adams final fling at me is to
declare that | am so discredited
that the party will not be further
troubled with me in North Caro-
lima or elsewhere. All / have got
to say in reply to this gratuitous
fling Is that my character will not
suffer i'm North Carolina in COMPARE
son with his, and that, besides, my
reputation is as good outside of
North Carolina, even in Indian Ter
ritory, as it is at home. If Mr..
Adams desires to proceed with the
comparison by specifications 1 am
ready.
81 would not have condescended
to notice such a statement from
Adams as an individual, but, unfor-
tunately for the party, he happens
now to hold position that not only
gives undue prominence, but also
undue influence to his treacherous
acts.
81 feel it duty to warn every
true friend of the policies of the
present administration to take note
of the fact that this man Adams
continues to dodge the square ques-
tion as to whether he will support
Secretary Taft or some other able
and trusted exponent of the princi-
pies and policies of the Roosevelt adj
ministration for President at the
next national convention. There is
now being waged the greatest fight
In the history Of the world between
organized greed, on the one hand.
and the interests of labor and capi-
tai, producer and consumer and a
simple justice for and of the people.
on the other hand. The enemies of
square deaf are abroad In the
land and well armed with funds.
Let the people take notice and begin
In the primaries and County Con-
ventions next spring to instruct
tneir delegates to the State Conven-
ton, 80 that the conspiracy of the
enemies Of the administration NAV
De effectively thwarted. Eternal
vigilance was never more neces-
sary."
