We are printing on the front page
this week letters from over the State
giving account of some of the cleo
ton frauds perpetrated in this State
on November Sth. 1t seems that in
many instances white men who would
not vote the Democratic ticket were
disfranchised by the wholesale while
those who would vote the Demo
cratic ticket were permitted to do so
without question as to their eligibil-
ity.
From Guilford County comes the
report of a number of cases where
Democratic registrars refused to reg
lister men who could read and write,
simply because it was thought they
would vote the Republican ticket.
In Chatham, Wake and other coun-
ties Doodle and booze were used by
the Democrats in order to get out
their vote
From Rutherford and other coun-
ties comes the report that old Con-
federate soldiers, whom the Demo-
Gratis pretend to love, were disfran-
chised by partisan registrars because
the old soldiers intended voting the
Republican ticket.
We have printed in this issue ex-
tracts from only a few OF the letters
We have received, but will publish
others from time to time. The way
for the honest voters to remedy these
election frauds is to go to the polls
and make the majority so great
| against the Democratic party that
the inscriptions election officials
cannot steal enough to thwart the
will of the people. Then a fair
election law will be placed upon the
statute books so that every legal
voter can register and have the votes
counted as cast.

REACTION AGAINST DEMOCRATIC
METHODS.

Already We are receiving letters
from one end OF the State 20 the other
not only reciting the desperate and
rsprehensible methods resorted TO By
the Democratic machine in the last
campaign, but also stating that there
ia already evidence of popular re-ac-
ton against such men and such meth
DDS.
One subscriber writes as that on
the day of election voters were
brought into town or were met al
they came and directed TO Democratic
blind tigers, where they were fur
nished with free whiskey and gotten
as drunk as necessary before taking
them to the polls to vote the Demo
cratic ticket. The same writer says
that ministers Of the Gospel and 9TH
er prominent prohibitionists who had
taken the leading part In campaign
ing for the prohibition law are ex-
pressing disgust at the methods
adopted, which were not only in VIC
lation of the Democratic State prohi-
biton law, but also in violation OF all
rules Of decency and morality in thus
debauching the electorate.
The Democratic machine began
its campaign by having the Demo
cratic registrars who would take or
ders from the Simmons ballot box
stufing machine to either violate the
election law or to commit frauds I'M
der the loop-holes purposely placed
In that law for defeating the will OF
the people and prostituting the bal
lot box. The remainder Of their cam
paign was an appeal to passion and
prejudice, without the discussion OF
a single great economic issue that
affects the people of the State and
the Nation; and their winding up
was a fitting climax to such low
and reprehensible campaign by using
money and whiskey as never before
to corrupt the voters of the State.
Our great, fair, just and moral
people are sure to rebuke such men
and such methods.

BUTLER'S RALEIGH SPEECH.

We are publishing this week the
first installment of Senator Buffers
great speech, delivered at the Acad-
envy of Music in Raleigh on Novem-
Der 4th.
Our report of the speech at the
time had to be condensed in order
that we might get to press with the
paper as early as possible.
We have had so many calls for the
speech that we decided to print it
in full, or as near as we can, from
the notes taken in long hand at the
time the speech was delivered. This
report will cover many important
points not given in our first account
of the speech.
We expected to get more Of it pre-
pared for this weeks issue, but we
will continue the report in our next
and the next until we have printed
the full report.
Senator Butler showed conclu-
sively that he had at no time any
connection as attorney, or otherwise,
with the carpetbag bonds. He ex-
posed the miserable record Of Sim
mons and Daniels, and showed why
the slanderers had run and refused
to meet him in joint debate. He fur.

THE DEMOCRATIC CONFER
ENCE."

The Democratic leaders have at
last decided to hold their conference
in Baltimore on January 18th, but
they decided at the same time that
the meeting should not be known to
outsiders as conference"
Chairman Mack and Champ Clark
say the meeting will be for the pur-
pose Of rejoicing over the recent cleo
ton and to interchange views as to
the future. 1t was also stated that
no section of the country and that no
element of the party is to be over
looked or left unrepresented, and
that the meeting will be devoted
solely to the promotion of party unity
and harmony.
OF course, it is clear that the OBJ
ject of the meeting is to try to get
the party together and see If they can
agree on line Of policy before the
Democratic Congress, which will meet
next fall. is forced to show its hand.
That the Democrats are seriously
divided, no observant politician will
deny. and when representatives of all
the elements OF the party get togeth-
er at the Baltimore conference
there will be as much confusion OF
tongues as there was at the building
of the tower of Babel.

The Democratic Leaders Have Been
Talking With the People and

Madison Herald (Democratic.)l
The North Carolina Legislature
will meet next January. We hope
the leaders In that body will see to
it that peanut politicians with axes
to grind will not take up the time
of the Assembly by the introduction
Of bills that appeal to the prejudices
of the masses. OF course, such bills
will be introduced, but the introducer
should be limited to the time occu-
pied in the discussion of measures
that tend to retard the prosperity OF
the State.-Southern Tobacco Jour
nal.
It was a wise old General who
said: Find out what the enemy
wants you to do, and then do the OPP
posite." The above shows what the
Tobacco Trust wants done, and there
fore it is the duty of the incoming
Legislature, whose members were
elected by the people to serve them
and not the trusts, to do exactly the
opposite to what the trust hirelings
and me-tos want them to do. The
Legislature will be overwhelmingly
Democratic (there will not be enough
Republicans there to join with a few
mugwump and corporation Demo
Gratis and thus defeat all effective
antitrust 1egislation): and The
Herald. as a Democratic newspaper,
believing in Democratic principles,
desires to see the question put
squarely up before those whose duty
1t is to pass upon 1t. IL the Demo
cratic leaders in the State are talk
ing with the people and drinking

time than now to find 1t out. The
great majority OF the Democratic
masses In the State are In favor OF
strong antitrust laws; and II the

WORLDWIDE DESIRE FOR LOCAL
SELF GOVERNMENT.

SELF 6Ds Ely s1FssA-
No student OF past history and OF
current historical events can fail 10
note the ever growing evidences OF
= desire OF all the people Of the
world for q larger measure Of local
self-government The present revo-
luton In Mexico Is the last and mos,
striking example Of this pregnant
fact
Here Ia . country that has been
wisely and ably governed By one Of
the greatest statesmen In the world
President Diaz- The people Of
Mexico have had. under his remark
able administration, better govern
ment than they ever had before. and
yet there has been growing for years
q spirit OF unrest which Is now ex-
hibiting itself In o marked degree.
and that unrest IL because the people
OF Mexico want larger measure In
governing themselves. In short, the
people of Mexico, following the ex-
ample of the great Teutcnic race
everywhere. has shown that 1t will
not be satisfied with even a perfect
government IL they are denied a
large share OF the voice In shaping
the same.
The people of Mexico do not COM
plain of any specific wrongs, but they
protest against practically the one
man power of President Diaz. They
claim that they have a Republic only
In name, and that they want one in
fact
When President Roosevelt made
his remarkable tour through Europe
last summer, there sprung up from
every quarter most striking evil
dence Of the desire Of the people in
all European countries for a larger
measure of local self-government.
The wonderful popular demonstra-
tons that greeted President Roose-
Welt everywhere were not from his
political followers and admirers as in
the United States, or prompted by
those who might hope for favors
from such a great leader, but 1t was
the underlying and growing feeling
for more personal liberty and local
self-government, and they expressed
this feeling in making great popular
demonstrations over President Roo
sevelt whom they considered as the
representative of that great American
idea.
While this spirit is growing and
spreading over the world, we find
the Democratic machine in North
Carolina busy in increasing its own
machine power by robbing the peo-
pie of part of the power which
they have enjoyed in managing their
local affairs. The spirit of liberty
will again assert itself at the polls in
this great Commonwealth.
Eternal vigilance is the price of
liberty under king-eternal vigil
ance is also the price of liberty where
ring political bosses rule.
The Democratic bosses in this
State have stepped into the shoes of
King George the Third.
