more so-than ever before; for judg-
ing its future record by the past, we
expect The Caucasian to continue to
appeal to reason, common-sense and
the judgment of the people; and we
hope that some of these jack-leg
Democratic editors and peanut poll
ticians who have been crying "nigger
domination" during the recent cam
paign, and sending their undesirable
subsidized papers and literature TO
voters who never subscribed for 1t,
will have a rush OF the brains TO
their head and reflect upon the year
1900 when Glenn, Aycock, Craig,
Simmons & Co. went all through
North Carolina telling the people
(the white voters especially that IL
was best for all that the negroes be
disfranchised, for the elimination of
the negroes men could stand up to
each other face to face and discuss
issues without personal enmity, pref
udice or abuse, and there would be

in effect, that the Republicans would
be as the Democrats, stand or fall

and upon that alone.
How was the recent campaign con-
Quoted by the Democratic party in
our Old North State? Did the party
appeal to the common-sense, good
Judgment or business sagacity of the
people? Did they use argument and
reason where they have heretofore
been using abuse and denunciation?
Did they offer the voters anything
of value or consideration for their
suffrage during the campaign, save
appeal to them to vote the Demo-
cratic ticket because it had just SIM
plv become a habit downSouth to
some extent, and you should WELD

They preached the doctrine of hat

Missouri gave her electoral vote
this year to Taft for President. The
situation in North Carolina was even
more encouraging than the situation
in Missouri. The difference was due
to the fact that Missouri was thor
oughly organized by a strong, pro-
gressive, competent chairman who
honestly wanted to carry the State.

THE TROUBLE WITH THE REPUB-
LICaS PARTY IN THE SOUTH.

In another column we publish an
article clipped from the New York
Sun. which is most interesting.
The Sun comments upon an edito-
rial In the Charlotte Observer With
reference to the great decline in the
Democratic majority in the State,
and commenting thereon proceeds TO
point out why the Republican party
has not In the past grown more in
the Southern States.
1t says that the past history OF the
Republican party In the Southern
States shows that the professional
politicians" have always been Jealous
party. 1t says further that "in al
most every State they have formed
tight little lotteries devoted to the
deliveries OF delegations at national
conventions and the subsequent par
ceiling out OF the Federal Offices. and
It has long been notorious that they
neither seek nor welcome recruits"
The Sun has here stated the whole
story. 1t has pointed out In few
words and accurately the curse that
has blighted the Republican party
in the South.
The Sun further says that there
are rumors that the Republican ma
chine in this State did not want to
carry the State this year, and that II
they had that the Charlotte Observ-
er's lament over the melting away of
the Democratic majority would have
been even greater.
We trust that State Chairman
Adams will read this article and see
the accurate picture OF himself. rs
the rest of the State and the country
already sees him.
The Sun, in conclusion, says that
If the Republican organization in
North Carolina and the South
should ever by any chance develop
the breadth, the unselfishness, the
ordinary common sense to begin al
the South a policy of dignity and
intelligence" that then North Caro-.
lima and many other Southern
States would go Republican.
Let every patriotic Republican IN
the State who wants to see his party
grow and triumph read this article
from the Sun, and then resolve tC
place in charge Of the State organi
zation of the party men who are moi
professional politicians, whose only
l desire is to manipulate conventions
and distribute federal patronage ant
keep the party small, but, on the
| other hand, to put in charge men o.
| breadth, Intelligence and character
who will Lead the party to victory.
What a pity that we did not hay,
such a State organization in the las
campaign, and If we had had thu
State would today be Republican.

Who was 1t that instructed the
Democratic officer who went to serve
Adams malicious warrant on Senator
Butler not to accept bail? And why
did Adams want him arrested before
he had voted and be placed in the
hands of Democratic official with
instructions that would not permit
him to vote except by the grace of
that Democratic officer? No lawyer
who is a lawyer, and no man who
was not mean and indicative, would
have given such unlawful and infa-
nous instructions.

If Adams could have completely

A QUESTION THAT HAS nor BEEN
ANSWERED.

why Is II that the Daily Industrial
News has never published the fact
that Sampson County increased her
majority from 600 to 1.130. not only
eIecting the full county ticket and
tao Republican members TO the Leg
lslature. but that the majority vas
big enough TO overcome the Demo
cratic majority In Johnston and Har-
nett Counties and elect two Repub-
Iican Senator's It would seem that
the Daily Industrial News is trying to
increase its subscribers In that sec
ton OF the State By suppressing this
news.
That remarkable majority would
have been even larger II there had
been a competent State Chairman
who had run a vigorous State cam
paign from the mountains to the sea.
But that majority, as large as 1t is.
will be- larger at the next election.
unless Adams should have all the
voters arrested on their way to the
polls and instructions be given that
they should not be permitted to give
| bail. &
Again, we ask, why has not the
Daily Industrial News published
SIMPSONS big majority and the cleo
| ton of two Senators? How long
will we have to wait for an answer?

Sir:-At the age Of twelve I began
reading The Caucasian. At that time
several newspapers visited our home
each week, and out Of the entire
number, embracing daily, semi-week-
ly and weekly papers, there was not
one of tone to captivate my youth
full mind Or create within me desire
to welcome it each week or day, save
The Caucasian. It has always, since
I commenced reading it, been of a
mode and character sufficient to
meet the requirements of an up-to-
date, conservative and broad-minded
weekly newspaper and family edu-
Gator. I have noted from time to
time the stand it takes invariably
are without fear Or favoritism, on the
issues and questions of the day, and
it appears that with the Golden Rule
in sight. tries coolly and calmly to
offer solution.
You may continue to send me your
invaluable paper, as I would not be
without 1t under any consideration,
for the more I read it the better /
like it. Improvement, I notice, have
been made from year to year, thereby
keeping pace with the advancement
of civilization and requirements of a
progressive peoples paper. Now, that
the election is over, ] shall be as
much interested in reading it-ol

For a City Hall.

There is some talk of the Seventh
street building being bought by the
city and transferred into a city hall.
There is no question but what the
building is amply large enough for
such a purpose, but whether the city
would buy it for that purpose or not,
is a question.
This building is large enough to be
transformed into city hall which
would be large enough for years to
come. The police department and
city jail could be placed in the base
ment. fire station on the first floor and
the upper floors used for offices, coun.
Gil room, courts, etc. with still plenty
of room to spare.
No offer has been made by the own
ers of the building to the city, but
no doubt they would consider any rea.
solable offer rendered to them by the

There would be room to install an

people in the Seventh street building,
besides room for other purposes.
