nee Greeted With Factory

WINSTON-SALEM, n. c., October T.
A large crowd at the Fairmont fair here

nominee of rich malefactofs" and of re-
publican rule. Mr.. Kern. accompanied by
j. Hamilton Lewis of Chicago, who also
spoke arrived early in the day from
Greensboro. Before going to the fair
grounds the nominee spoke to the towns
people from temporary platform in the
courthouse square. He ascribed to the
great corporations, specifically the meat
and steel trusts. iniqutous methods which.
he asserted. draw from every household
and every farm in the land a stream Of
money to the Golfers of the corporations.
The republican nominee he characterized
as a weakling who would be nothing more
than a sub President.
The nominee was greeted by a din
OF factory whistles as his train pulled
into the station. A squad of ,horsemen
and a brass band escorted him to the

full states in the estimation Of the re-
publicans" said Mr.. Kern. I'm North
Carolina Ii is contended that the nigh
protective tariff is an inducement for
your citizens to become republicans, 1t
being the assumption that you wish boun-
ties against other citizens to benefit your
selves. l am now I'm the heart Of the
greatest tobacco-producing country OF
America, but. with all your enterprise. the
tobacco trust has gobbled up like an ON
nivorous animal your products to hand
them back to you at their own price for
your labor and your products. 1t Is this
evil which We have met here to remedy
and which throughout the nation We are
struggling to remedy. as We are strug-
CLING against every other trust that feeds
and fattens upon the necessities and the
labors of Americans everywhere"
Mr. Kern left soon after closing his

He may be considered genius who has brought about the exquisite exam pie of topsy-turvy hubbub and confu- sion which those on Church street have had the rare dlspeasure of enduring for the last few weeks. II Is difficult to conceive how the comparatively sim- pie operation of repaving the street surface could possibly have been ac- complished more arnateurishly. Wheth- CT the genius of which we make men ton is the contractor in charge of the work or the proper city officials, in whose Jurisdiction such public lm- provements come, we are willing to leave to the citizens, but fl should be perfectly plain that some one Is to blame and that the adjacent property holders so vltally concerned should make 1t known that they will not long CT endure such treatment
 Not only has there been intermina- ble delay in the matter, but what work | has been done has been undertaken in bungling fashion. We had thought the trolley company slow in getting It's new rails laid, but It's work was as lightning to a snails pace when com

While tho west side of Church street has beel all toff up so traffic could not pass that has not sufflced Instead of mix ing the stones and cement on Cente street and bringing it in wreel-barrow to where 1t was needed, all the materla had to be dumped and the work don on the east side of the street, to tn continual discomfort of the thousand who were continually boarding tn trollcys at that point,
 The work Is not yet half done.

THE HOME COMING OF BLn."

E
 The city of New Haven acknow- Iedges a peculiar personal pride in . extending to-day to William Howard !. Taft, the republican candidate for president of the United States hearty welcome. It Is in a large sense the home coming of the "Bill' Taft who from 1874 to 1878 made his home here and here developed those in herent qualities of head and heart, which have made him one of the most useful and respected citizens or this great country A native of Ohio, the child of Connecticut pion- eering he is sentmentally at least an adopted son of Connecticut in gen. eral and of New Haven in particular, Ohio must divide with Connecticut the pride of possessing MT. Taft.
 The particular fascination which Mir. Taft's candidacy for the presi- dency has for all thoughtful persons consists in the extensive and unpre- cedented preparation he has received for it's duties Of all the men, who have either asplred to the office or been elected to 1t, no one has had the opportunities fate has given him to measure the responsibilities and obli- cations of the task involved. He has learned the lesson by serving in every department of government but the legislative, and even there he has been taught much by his intimate contact with the duties assigned. He has con- stantly advised with the legislators in national. state and colonial halls of leeislation. That experience has been sufficient to instruct him in the nec- essary knowledge of how most effec- lively to influence legitimately the leg islative habits of thought and action All of these things he has done with a thoroughness and judgment, which has impressed men with his eXtraor' dinary fitness for heavy work anc heavy responsibilities And this i'm pression has been further strength ened by the revelation of his charm ing personality, which Is of itself guarantee of-unseldsh and conscien tious self employment.
 Perhaps the most striking achieve ment of his political life has heel his slow but sure development into public speaker of force and persua sion, since he began his visits to tn various sections of the country J fact. 1t is MT. Taft's habit of at ono measuring up to any job that Is se him in the performance of his dut that has continued to convince tn voters that in spite of an effective or nosition he should be made preslden Straw ballots to the contrary, 1t is tf growing faith in MT. Tafts charactt and ability that is sure to land him the presidential office. He is his oW best campaign manager. Welcon Home, Bill"
