The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1909-08-05

The Charlotte Observer, the lead
ing Democratic newspaper in the
State. maISss the following frank ad-
mission:
About North Carolina we will
say this: That If all the people
who are glad their tariff inter-
ests are in the hands Of Con-
gressmen from other sections
and not in the hands Of Con-
gressmen from the Democratic
South were to vote as they feel,
the State would go Republican
by a heavy majority. 1t is sim
ply incOnceivable that many
thousands should indefinitely
vote against what they consider
their own interests, more voters
finding themselves in this ano-
malous predicament year by
year"
1t is true that many thousands Of
voters in North Carolina, and for
that matter in the whole South, have
been irr the habit OF voting year af-
ter year for men and for so-called
principles which were not in the in
terests of the States progress and de-
velopment The conditions. however,
which made such an anomalous stu
alton possible are rapidly changing.
Last year the Republican vote in
North Carolina increased from S4,-
600 to 115.000-a gain of 81 900
Every one of these votes were white
votes and came from the Democratic
party, and they came because the!
realized exactly what the Charlotte
Observer has so fankly stated.
There are besides, at least 10000
or 10000 we'll informed and intelIi
gent voters in the State who hav
reached the same conclusion, but VIII
did not break away from the habi
of a lifetime at the last election an,
vote according to their judgment
but the number who will do so eac
year will rapidly increase, and t
such an extent that we expect to Sc
North Carolina go Republican at tn
next election. Indeed, we believ
that the State would have gone Re
publican at the last election if tn
Republican party had been led by a
organization of men with the stand
Ing and character to command tn
confidence of the Democrats VIII
wanted to join us, and by men VIII
showed by their actions that the
really wanted to make North Care
lima a Republican State.
If the Republican party, at it's ne,
State Convention, will put at tt
head Of its organization men WI
will command the confidence of sue
voters, we have every confidence tn
recruits will at once come in sufiC
ent numbers to put North Carolir
in the Republican column, where
rightfully belongs.

MIR. COWLES AND THE BALLOT
BOX STUFFING MACHINE.

The Raleigh News and Observer, in
an editorial, says:
&C. H. Cewles is a big man in
his party, though The Caucasian
would have him regarded as
young fellow with no influence,
who goes off half-cocked. He
runs the Wilkesboro Patriot, he
is Vice-president of the Green's
boro News, and is Republican
Congressman. Way down under
their shirts most Republican poll
iticians favor Cowles' infamous
bill"
The Caucasian did not say that Mr.
Cowles was "a young fellow with NO
influence" The Raleigh News and
Observer should have been fair
enough to publish exactly what we
did say.
We said, in substance, that the out
rageous ballot-box stuffing, of which
the Democratic party has been guilty,
could not be condoned by any honest
man, and that every wise and legiti-
mate measure that could be used
should be exerted to protect the
sanctity of the ballot.
The point we made, however, was
that Mr.. Cowles, by the introduction
Of his bill, would hurt rather thar
help the cause of honest election. We
pointed out that the Introduction Of
the bill would give to the enemies O.
good government just exactly the ex
cuse that the News and Observer ha.
seized upon to attempt to appeal tt
the prejudices of the people to pre-
vent them from voting according t,
their convictions and for the best in
terests of the State.
Mr.. Cowles has no doubt realized
before this time that he has given t,
the News and Observer and to tn
Democratic machine an excuse TO
the very kind of political agitation
On which they thrive, and on whicl
only can they thrive. In short, Their
is nothing that Mr.. Cowles coul
have done to have pleased the New
and Observer and the ballot-bo
stuff1ng machine more than this un
less he would introduce a bill 70

THE HOOKwORM.


Quilted at the expense OF the
general government. there was ap-
pointed by the Roosevelt administra-
ton a nomadis commission 10 roam
over the entire country and ferret
out any evil that pes,ered the people.
This commission was composed OF
healthy experts from the over-crowd-
ed and alarmingly high death-rated
cities; for the purpose OF examining
into the conditions of rural and ur-
ban peoples. II was to hunt for dis
ease, germs and parasites. 1t quick
ly discovered parasite. Ii had not
been out in the fields. away from the
palace car, a fortnight before ii es-
pied something the matter with
North Carolina's health. A new worm
had been invented by DIR. Stiles,
ready for application and open for
action which was given the terrible
Christian name of Hook, and the
commission saw fit and proper TO
fasten this worm upon US. 1t could
not thrive anywhere else. The South
needed some bad attachment al
though no complaint had been en-
tered. 1t really would not do for the
South to have all the good and none
of the bad things.
| The Hookworm had lived and
thrived upon her boys and girls until
they got to be eighty years old. And
all this while they innocently pos
sessed this creeper.
| Doctor Stiles must have created 1t
for some purpose not at first appar-
emit. Later, We find 1t was for the
purpose of consuming a medicine
called Thymol, that Is too dangerous
! to be administered by any other per-
son than a doctor. He was so proud
of his find it Is a wonder he did not
call it the Stiles worm.
But Doctor Stiles is the doctors
friend. So that with the new dis
covery we not only have the pleasure
of introducing our internal affairs tt

we are admonished to have a doctor

We had managed to live with tn
