&. l.. Holton Endorsed for soIic-
itor.
AsheborO, \. c. July I8.-Ran-
dolph County Republican Convention
met in the Courthouse in Asheboro
Saturday. July 16. 1910, at 1890
o'clock a. m, pursuant TO the call
of County Chairman G. l.. Holton. TO
nominate a county and legislative
ticket, elect delegates TO the various
conventions, to elect a chairman of
the County Executive Committee and
also a County Executive Committee,
etc
Promptly at 1890 o'clock the
Convention was called TO order by c.
l.. Holton, who after stating the OBJ
ject of the gathering and few re-
marks called DR.. James D. Gregg TO
the chair as temporary chairman,
who delivered an able speech.
After the work OF the convention
was begun, Hon. A. E. Holton, of
and delivered one Of the strongest
speeches ever delivered in Ashboro.
The new and commodious court
house was we'll filled, there being
seven or eight hundred voters out
to hear him. His speech Of an hour
and a half was a vote-winner from
start to finish. He thoroughly dem
onstrated the fact that the Democra-
/ cy and aristocracy of the South go
/ hand in hand; that the Democratic
party is against the producer and,
only talk and harangue in favor the
consumer. The speaker clearly dem
onstrated that the Republican party
is and always has been a constructive
party whereas the Democratic party
is and always has been the antithesis
of same. The speaker in clear and
forceful language pictured what had
been done for the farmer and every
other producer and showed by COM
parison the farmer of to-day, with
his high-priced products as compared
with what he could get for his labor
under Democratic policies and prin-
ciples and showed that what the la
/ boring man needed was legislation
in his favor to remove the stigma
that ''to labor" is a disgrace and
that such relief will only come
through the Republican party, the
friend Of the laboring man.
In the course of his remarks the
speaker spoke in the highest terms
Of Hon. John NJ. Morehead, who by
the policies he represented had
changed a district Of FIVE thousand
Democratic majority into a Republi-
can district and that he had done
much good for the whole State.
The Republicans are in fine shape
in Randolph; they have paid their
taxes and qualified themselves to
vote and came to the Convention en-
masse and named the ticket COM
posed of the best men in the county
and everybody is pleased and deter
mined to elect the ticket. The fight
is on and Democratic mismanage-
ment Of county affairs will be thor
oughly presented to the voters of
the county, and November Sth will
mark the passing of Democratic mis-
rule and mis-management in this
county.
Chas. L. Holton was reelected
chairman Of the County Executive
Committee and r. E. Johnson was
elected Secretary, and the following G
resolutions were unanimously adopt
ed
