TAKES
Oct. 10, 1908.

Hon. Thos f. Watson.
Sir: The writer Of this letter was
on the Populist ticket, in 1904, as
elector for the ID district Of Ohio.
He endorses every syllable of the plat
form Of that party. More than fifty
years ago, in his humble way, he
helped form the Republican party.
He is proud of much that that party
accomplished, but, like Christianity,
the party has witnessed an "apos-
tasy" In the beginning the party
pledged itself, under all circum-
stances, to stand for the wronged and
the oppressed everywhere. Now it is
the champion Of the most brazen evil
our race has encountered. Instead of
listening to the young ravens when
thew cried,' it turned a deaf ear to
their plaint. It adds to the crime Of
treachery that Of hypocrisy, The dan
GER to our institutions is not the eX-
ecutive, nor the legislative, but the
judicial department. 1t is easy to
stand before the people as fighting
the trusts knowing they are safe be-
fore that final tribunal. That is just
what the apostate Republican party
is doing. The Democracy is no bet
ter Our institutions must be so re-
formed that the people can actually,
instead of theoretically, rule. That
means the "initiative and referen-
dunn" Also the "recall." ! am for

name 'Jeffersoniano is more than
they would care to tackle
Understand, | am not trying to
lead, simply stating the matter as it
appears to me, and with but one OBJ
Ject, the restoration Of a party in
the United States, whose principles
are democratic, as our fathers under
stood it, and one to which every coun-
try-loVlng man can rally.
Now is the accepted time-says the
preacher-and | believe it to be as
true in politics as in theology, and
with some old hard-heads, J. J. Spear,
for instance, propose to organize Il
Populist club and commence a train
ing that will place them as regulars
among volunteers, i. e., rallying
point.
Glynn is a hard county to operate
IN, but see no reason why we can
not be successful, particularly now,
after the desperate effort to negroize
the present democratic party, which
turned 50 many votes, even to hated
republicanism. Taft s vote in Geor-
gia, | firmly believe, is democratic
condemnation; the people have said
to the party leaders, Thus far, but
no further.'
With the disgust of the people for
such dirty work as recently prac-
tlced, and hatred Of repubhcanism, it
does seem that we could establish
party upon democratic principles
that must sweep the field at an early
date.
In conclusion, permit me to say
that a Confederate soldier and re-
construction-days democrat, can see
neither safety nor decency in follow
ing Organism.
Wishing you success, | am proud to
subscribe myself,

Negro Desperate Jailed.

Last Friday morning a Char
lotte officer brought to this city a
negro famed Tom Davis and turn
ed HIM over to Sheriff Krider,
Davis has just finished doing q
letter term of service for Mecklen-
burg county on the chain gang.
He is the negro who so viciously
assaulted Foreman Roach at Gran.
lite Quarry some months ago. He
managed to elude the officers here
and was not heard of until the
authorities of Mecklenburg wrote
that they had him in their clutches.
The assault on Roach was entire
ly unprovoked and was inspired
by pure ard unauthorized cussed-
ness. Davis will have q hard time
in making q satisfactory explana-
ton of his conduct to a jury at
thu next term Of the Rowan Sn-
perior Court.

Mr.. BrYan's Speech Of Acceptance.

Mr.. Bryan in his speech Of &C.
ceptance, dea t the Republican par
ty some terrific blows, on some
very vulnerable spots. Mr.. Bry.
an charges Secretary Taft with
attempting to amend the Repub-
lican PLATFORM, which is an ad-
mission that the trusts and not
the people wrote it. It is we'll
known that a motion was made in
the Republican National Conven-
ton to provide for the physical
valuation of railroads as a guide
by which the amount of stocks
and bonds should he issued by the
! roads. It is we'll known that the
Republican National Convention
voted down this proposition. A
great hardship on the people of
this country results from the fact
that when a railroad is organized
and its stock is sold, the money
for that stock goes into the peck
cts of the organizers and promot-
ers as pure graft and the crowd
of grafters that organizes it, is
sues bonds for building the road.
So that all of the proceeds of the
stock is practically stolen and the
bonds go to the building of the
road. By this wholesale stealing,
and grating which has character
lied all the roads of the country,
the people are compelled to pay
Rates for transportation high
enough to pay the interest Oh the
bonds issued and dividends on the
stock, which is practically all
water. If the railroads of this
country had been built on honest
principles, and if they were now
being built on honest principles,
the public could secure transport
tation at one-half of what they
are now paying. Mr.. Taft has
seen the evil of this and has re-
Gently held a joint debate with
his OWL platform. This only
shows how completely the Repub-
lican party has surrendered to
corporations and trusts. Mr. Bry-
an not only stands to correct this
mighty evil but his party is united
at his back. Whereas the Repub-
lican party is bitterly opposed to
it as shown by their vote in the
Chicago Convention which voted
down the physical valuation prop
osition by $50 votes against 112
showing that more than 3 to / of
the leaders of the Republican par-
ty are opposed to it.
