Full EIedged Citizen.

Prof A. f. Akers came up from
Roanoke Rapids to vote Tuesday.
This was his first vote since qualifr-
ing himself by length OF residence in
the State, and after he deposited his
ballot Tuesday he doubtless felt az
proud at being a legally adopted
North Carolinian as he used to feel at
being a native from Virginian. At
any rate it is good combination
producing q citizen of which we are
proud.

called powder trust. o.,
+. Coleman Dupont Is a pretty I'm.
portant person in the management OF
the national campaign. He IS the heso
OF the speakers bureau. He Is the
chairman OF the Delaware state central

He is the member OF the national com

Gen" Dupont gets his title because
he Is general on the stan of GOV:

also a cousin Of Col" Henry c. Dupont.
the only United states senator who
actually has a trust named after him.
Whenever YOU listen TO speaker sent
mittee you hear one Of Dupont's men.
Ii falls to Dupont to show the public
that the q. o. II. intends to carry out
the trust busting policies inaugurated
by Roosevelt.
But II the charges made by the gov
eminent in its suit against the powder
trust" ARE true Dupont, the teacher and
preacher of trust busting policies, IL
himself the head OF a $50. 900. 900 powder
trust which has the government at Its
pe nc
Power of Powder Trust.
The government seeks to prevent the
80 or more companies from doing bust
ness under an alleged agreement In re-
straint of trade. II the facts Of the al
mean that the Dupont people have such
a control on the market OF explosives
that not only do they FIX the price OF
blasting powder and hunting ammuni-
tion, but they are In a position to force
the government itself TO pay arbi-
trary price for It's supplies.
The government charges I'm effect
that Uncle Sam could not go to war
without first consulting the powder
trust as to what IL would charge FOR the
ammunition--for II controls all the
powder for big guns.
But Dupont does not think all this
will have any influence In his manner
OF conducting the campaign. When
asked. he said:
MY business and my service TO my
party are two separate matters. They
do not conflict / believe in the full en-
forcement OF all just laws seeking to
