cratic, candidate for Governor of
North Carolina, here to-day. The
speaking was held at the county
court house, and with the adj
journment of court q few min.
utes before IL o'clock the room
began filling up. Almost IN a
continuous stream (. the. people
came. All the seats were promp-
tly taken, many chairs were
brought in, the inside of, the bar
railing was packedsa crowd stood
about the walls of the, room,
while the gallery was packed to
standing room Many ladies
were in the audience to-day. =
Mr.. Kitchin, who reached the.
city this morning, was escorted
from the Battery Park Hotel to-
the court house by a reception
committee in an automobile, and
his entrance to the auditorium
was the signal for an outburst
of applause. Mr.. Locke Craig
introduced Mr.. Kitchin in elo-
quent manner. He referred to-
the Democratic nominee as one
of the leading Southern Demo
Gratis and introduced him as the
next Governor of North Carolina.
Mr.. Craig, when he mounted the
judges stand to introduce Mr..
Kitchin, was given an ovation.
Mr.. Kitchin spoke for nearly
two hours and held the undivid-

Sept. IA. Went to Chimney
Rock. Found one man andsa'
dog there to hear me speak.
Much encouraged. Began to
talk. Told the sad story of my
life. Dog howled. Kicked the
dog. Man got mad. Said he
didn't blame the dog. l stopped
talking. Don't like Chimney
Rock very well.
Sept. 15. Went to Bat Cave.
No one there but the bats.
Felt so sad I cried. And cried.
And cried some more. Stream
began to rise. Man told me to
stop crying or he would have
me indicted. This is a sad
world, an awfully sad world.
Sept. 16. Went to Sugar Loaf.
Found a crowd of two men wait
ing for me. Told them the sad
story Of my life. Had to cry.
Forgot when to stop. Tears
caused a landslide and two men
were killed. Both republicans.
This world is sad, so sad.
Sept. II. Went to. RooseveIt.

men, .one boy and two bull pups

pie that they will not soon for

Mr.. Kitchin was presented by
Hon. T. Fl. Galloway .Transyl-
vania's able representative in the
General Assembly of 19N-08-
The, crowd cheered long and loud
when the next Governor arose
to begin his address and he must,
indeed, have felt that he was in
the hands Of his friends. Mr..
Kitchin appeared at his best and
expressed sincere pleasure to face
such an outpouring of the splen-
did citizenship of Transylvania
county. He held the closest at
tention Of his audience for near
ly two hours and was frequently
interrupted by spontaneous OUT
bursts of applause, State and
National issues were discussed
in a mastery manner and repub-
lican hypocrisy exposed in scath-
ing terms. He reviewed condi-
tions during republican and de-
mocratie administrations in North
Carolina and pointed, with pride,
to thespotless record the demo
cracy had made. Republicans,
declared Mr.. Kitchen, are asham-
ed of their party meanness, but
some of them seem not to posses
the courage to abandon the bad
habit of voting the ticket, not
withstanding the fact that their
candidates are usually selected
by political bosses, composed of
postmasters, revenue officers and
other Federal office holders. He
appealed to the young men to
join the party Of progress which

Dogs began to. growl. Then

Sept. 18. Went to OttanoIa.
Heard Crawford was coming.
Didn't stop to tell the sad story
of my life. Just cried a little,
about two quarts and a pint.
Then made for the tall timber.
Crawford is an aristocrat and
uses vulgar language such as ex-
post facto and habeas corpus and

him as he plowed a bull when he

The gubernatorial party, in its

city, nesting among the majestic
peaks of these beautiful noun

fully 700 people. So large was
the crowd that resort to the near

After thanking the people of the
good county Of Transylvania for
their united and loyal support in

Senator Aycock followed Mr..
Shipman in his usual impressive
way, after a brief introduction
by Senator Breese. His speech
was along similar lines reported
from day to day since he joined
Mr.. Kitchin two weeks ago. He
discusses state issues exclusively
and delivers his words with a
sledge hammer effect, every
sentence weighted with a mes
sage to democracy. His fine ad-
dress today was well received
