GOODMAN A FAVORITE
OVER MATTY BALDWIN.

Boston. Jan. 24.-The fact that Mat
ty Baldwin. when he signed to meet
Goodman at the Armory A. a. next
week, waived the weight question en-
tirely is being agitated against his
chances for winning. Some, who lean
to Goodman, say now that the Kid
will not be obliged to reduce to Il GER
tain weight, and without the conse-
quent worry he will carry the battle
like a Trojan.
Baldwin will be at some disai-
vantage. although he must be getting
heavier. He has two decisions over
Goodman and. in a way is confident
that this will be a cake walk for him.
Matty realizes he is lighter than
Goodman. but says that few pounds
doesn't matter.

class, and is unfortunate for him, be.
cause he does not take proper note Of
the intefliuence OF ~the&husiness men in
North Carolina. Theysdo not run on
after strange dods merely because Of
Catchy Label.
Four years ago the Republican Party
tried the same experiment in nomi-
mating Charles j. Harris, a ~so-calIed
ssbusiness man. that they are trying
this year. The real business men did
not leave the Democratic Party then,
and there Is no reason for the party
to fear that they viii do 80 now.
The RepMbIiean State platform, by it's
silence. in effect cOmmends the admin
istration of State affairs by the Demo
cratic Party, except in M particular,
and that is with reference to railroad
legislation. When the facts are known
there is no justification or excuse for
the opposition of the railroad cOmpa-
MES In the State to the enactment and
enforcement of these laws or for the
criticism by the Republican State plat
form. The Democratic State platform
truthfuIly and fully covers the case in
the following languagez
"The Democratic Party has kept its
promise and materially reduced pas
senger and freight rates In the State.
lt has given to the people lower rates,
and the reports OF the railroad conn
panies show that this reduction of
rates has been accompanied by in-
creased revenue on that class Of bust
ness affected by the laws Of the State

The railroad rates ean be used for his

Mr.. Rockefeller says the Standard Oil
Company is not a trust; Mr.. Duke, that
the American Tobacco Company 10 not

nection with the Standard Oil Com
pany was entirely proper; and when
the LEGISLATURE Of 1907 was beseiged
with the lobbyists Of the american
Tobacco Company and successfuilyre re-
sisted their opportunities, Mr.. Cox
said that the action of the Legislature
with respect to the trust bills which
were before It was radical, and con-
demned in u~nmeasured terms those
took a course that was not salts

1t is therefore fair to say that MI

price OF articles produced by the labor
Of others; which such persons enter
inq,into the conspiracy expect to buy,

This is subsection A of the Reid bill,
and it would be interesting to know
from Mr.. Cox whether he favored it
when it was pending before the Legis-
lature OF 1907, before he became a cam
didate for Governor, and whether he is
prepared to say, now that he is a can
didate, that he opposes it. The to-
bacco farmers in the State who are Re
pubIfcans would doubtless be interested
in an explicit statement as to his posi-
ton on this question.

II Mr.. Cox were elected Governor

curing all corporations to obey the
law as strictly and faithfully ras the

does a declaration like this count for?
II would be more interesting to know
what he proposes to do for the relief
of the business men Of the State from
the burden Of excessive and discrimi-
natory rates. What plan has he to
execute as Governor? Let him speak
for himself.
In his public address he says:

It is not every business man" who
receives or expects the faVors from
special interests which Mr.. Cox Is
shown to receive. TheSreaI business
men In North Carolina ask no faVors
from special interests, but demand
merely an open field and a fair fight.
They cannot be brought to sympathize

Of special Interests by an appeal to
