posed to recruits coming into the
party, could not believe that IL was
true, because such action on the part
OF the party leaders could be nothing
less than treason TO the party. !
have, however, followed the reasons
which The Caucasian has from week
TO week advanced In proof of this
charge, and I must say that / am
now convinced that It is true. I be-
lieve that the people generally are
finding this out. and that they will
rally to the primaries TO send dele
gates to the next State Convention
to re-organize the party for a fight
that will mean the election of more
Congressman this year and the cleo
ton Of a Republican Governor two
years afterwards. Keep 1t up on the
line that you are going; the people
are with you"
Another writer says: 81 agree to
every word that The Caucasian has
said about the evil of having our
party conventions packed with post
masters and revenue officers, and
that IL we want to succeed, we must
send to conventions as delegates our
best men who do not hold any Fed
eral Offices. and that then We will
have men nominated for candidates
who are able to and who will make
winning fight Nobody wants tt
vote for a candidate who lets the
people understand that he does no
expect to win and is not making {
light to win, but that he is simpl,
running in order that he can be {
candidate for a Federal Office. Thi
has been the curse of the party il
the past. When the. machine pick
out one of its postmasters to rul
for Congress and prevents the nomi
nation of stronger men who do no
hold a Federal job, everybody know
what it means, and hence the part.

votes that 1t ought to gain"

thank you for exposing the name

which the patronage machine hav
made upon Congressman Morehead
This has exposed the craw-fish polio
of the patronage machine better thai
Ianything else that has happened
The people are at last on to the sit
uation, and they are rallying every
where behind Morehead. The peopl
, in this community are all talking hin
for Governor two years from now

that he will be elected"
The above are samples of the eS
, lpressions that we are receiving i
every mail. The Caucasian will tr

DEMOCRATS ARE UNEASY.

1t is announced that the Demo-
cratic State Executive Committee
propose to meet early in March to
pass upon the report of their sub
committee appointed some weeks
ago, and at the same time select the
place for the State Convention. They
also propose to designate a common
day on which to hold primaries for
nominations throughout the State,
and also common day for county
conventions throughout the State. 1t
is understood the committee will
recommend certain changes, "mak-
ing the plan more flexible and adapt
able to local conditions
There is no doubt but that the
Democrats will make their rules very
flexible and will have a plank in
their platform to suit each locality
so far as campaign purposes are con-
cerned. Where the trusts are in con-
troll, the Democrats will nominate
trust brand candidates; where the
prohibition senteiment is strong, only
prohibitionists will be nominated
and where the anti-prohibition senti-
ment prevails, they propose to nomi-
nate "wet" candidates. In other
words, they think they have laid a
plan to catch the voters going and
coming. They see that their power
Is on the wane. and they are grow
ing desperate, but the voters are
learning their tricks and will not be
so easily deceived.

Carolina. The entrance fees ef-
fectiveIy exclude him from the

The Democratic politicians have
denied the allegation that the poor
man, or even the man OF moderate
means In their party. could not af-
ford TO run for Office because they
put the price high so as TO debar
him, but they now stand convicted
out of the mouth Of their own or
gan.
The only right a poor man Is Civ
en- in the Democratic party is TO vote
the ticket as he is told, and carry
out any other schemes for the bene
fit of the bosses. He does the vot-
ing for them and pays the take:
while the machine politicians SCOOP
in the offices and appropriate the
poor mans tax money for himsel
and for his next friend. The Demo
cratic party should change its nam'

A FREE TRIP TO WASHINGTON
The Boy Who Produces the Best
Acre of Corn Will Win the Prize.

The United States Department of
Agriculture, Washington, D. c., is en-
couraging and demonstrating better
methods in agriculture among the
farmers of the South, through what
is known as the farmers co-opera-
tive demonstration work"
Prof. I. o. Schaub is special agent
for the Department in this State,
and is now filling appointments in
this State explaining the work. The
Secretary of Agriculture will give a
diploma to the boy of each Southern
State who produces the best yield of
corn on an acre of land, and The
Caucasian will give free trip to
Washington, D. c., to the winner
from this State in order that he may
receive the diploma in person. This
is a prize worth working for and we
want every farmer boy up to twenty
years of age to enter the contest.
Send us your names or send them to
Mr.. Schaub and instructions on how
to prepare your land, etc., will be
mailed to you.
