CONTEMPTIBLE NEWSPAPER
METHODS.

The attention of our readers Ii
called TO the articles In this issue,
dealing with the methods OF the
Greensboro News. the organ OF the
"pie-counter brigade" and OF which
National Committeeman Duncan 10
president and guiding genius.
On Friday. July 22nd. the day
prior 10 the assembling of the Gull
ford County convention, the News
published a scurriIous attack, direct
ed at Congressman Morehead, and
signed by one White. To this the
CONGRESSMAN sent a dIgnified reply,
with a request that 1t publish 1t the
following day. Former Senator But
Ter, whose name had been unwar-
rentedly brought into the matter, also
sent a reply, with a similar request,
both of which the News ignored.
Such a departure from the high
standard of newspaper ethics which
no respectable newspaper would
countenance, could only have one eff
feet, and that 1t had with a VEN
geance. 1t brought down on the
head Of the management Of that pa
per such a volley Of denunciation that
faw paUcpaDarc hava avar rocaiyad
Recognizing it's mistake, the organ
published Mr.. Morehead's letter sew
eral days after it had appeared in the
Charlotte Observer, the Greensboro
Record, and other State papers, but
it retained enough of it's malicious
spirit to deny Senator Butler the
right that every honorable instinct
would promptly accord, and has no
unfair, malicious and unwarranted
attack.
A significant feature of the
whole proceeding was the utter fail
ure Of the purpose of the alleged
White letter. The Guilford County
Republican Convention endorsed Mr.
Morehead for Congress and instruct
ed its delegates to the State Conven-
ton to vote for him for State Chair
man.

A CAMPAIGN OF LIES UPON LIES

A subscriber of The Caucasian re-
Gently wrote Hon. John M. Morehead
stating that the henchmen of the
ring bosses were circulating a story
in his county to the effect that if
Morehead was made State Chairman
that he would be in favor of giving
all of the Federal Offices to Demo-
Gratis.
That subscriber has just sent us a
reply which he has received from
Mr.. Morehead denouncing this base
and Infamous charge. (See Mr.. More
heads letter, under caption of mail
ing a Lie. Editor
This letter speaks for itself and
every voter, and especially every
delegate to the convention should
read it in order to know the truth.
Baseless lies like this, or OF some
other kind, have been manufactured
| and circulated against Mr.. Morehead
| in every county in the State.
We received a letter from a sub
| scriber the other day saying that the
ring henchmen were charging in his
county that Morehead had been as
| sessing postmasters in his congress
sional district for heavey contribu-
tions and that if he were State Chair
man he would do the same all over
| the State. This subscriber further
| said that he waited before writing us
to see one of the postmsaters in Mr..
| Morehead' District, and that he told
him that the charge was lie out OF
the whole cloth, because Mr. More
head had never called up him to con-
! tribute single cent for any purpose.

WERE FOR "HARNONY" ONLY ON
THEIR OWN TERMS.

Since the action OF the Guilford
County Republican convention on
last Saturday in putting TO rout
with such emphasis the ring bosses
and electing a solid delegation Tor
Morehead for chairman, and also the
action of other counties with large
votes, like Chatham, Stanly, Pamli-
co. and Surry, in taking similar &C
ton. il now comes to us that some
of the machine bosses who have be-
fore this been loudly crying for "har-
mony" have now changed their tune.
They were for harmony IL the ring
could have been left undisturbed to
rule and ruin the party for selfish
purposes. They are opposed to har-
money on any other terms.

WHY MIR. MOREHEAD is FORCED
TO BUY SPACE IN A FAIR
NEWSPAPER.

The Asheville Gazette-News. one
of the ring boss" organs. charges
that "Mr. Morehead is buying space
in the Democratic daily press" IL
this is true, why is it true? 1t is
because the only Republican CD
daily in the State not only publishes
attacks on him, but also refuses to
give him a small amount of space in
which to reply.
Mr.. Morehead has not bought any
space in the Raleigh News and OBJ
server. and he probably could not
buy space in which to state the facts
in the Greensboro Daily News in re-
ply to that papers slanderous at
tacks. The days of the ring bosses
and the days of their dirty organ are
numbered.

WEARY BEYOND ENDURANCE"

The Charlotte Observer, in it's is
sue of July 2Sth, in an editorial.
says:
Nebraska Democrats appear
to have simply grown weary be-
yond endurance of being bossed
by Colonel Bryan. In this they
resemble the party at large. We
sympathize with Colonel Bryan,
although his defeat is richly de-
served"
If the Democrats of Nebraska have
just cause to be weary beyond en-
durance' at being bossed by Mr..
Bryan, then how much more cause
have the honest rank and file of the
Republican party of North Carolina
to be weary beyond endurance" at
the incompetence, treacherous and
selfish domination of the machine
booses.
The same spirit of patriotism and
independence which caused the Dem
ocrats of Nebraska to throw off the
yoke of BOSS" Bryan will cause the
Republicans in North Carolina on
August 10th to throw off forever the
yoke of Boss Duncan and his
henchmen.

A PROSTITUTED ORGAN.

That the Raleigh News and OBJ
server is an active. persistent and
efficient organ for the success of
Duncan and his ring, is fact so
notorious that it is observed by ev-
erybody and being commented upon
from one end of the State to the
other.
Of course, the editor Of the News
and Observer knows, and would ad-
nit if he would tell the truth, that
there can be no comparison between
the character and ability and SINGER
ity and effectiveness of Morehead as
the leader Of the Republican party
The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1910-08-04
THE DEVIL SICK AND THE DEVIL
WELL.

One of the best evidences Of how
frightened the ring bosses have be-
come over the rising tide of the in
dignation of the people against their
false and treacherous leadership is
the fact that they have recently be-
gun to declare loudly, from the noun
tains to the sea, through their or
gans and henchmen, that they de-
serve the credit for bringing thirty
one thousand recruits to the party in
the last election.
The professions Of virtue on the
part of the ring bosses now that
they are frightened is so notably con-
trasted with their naughty and super
cilious disregard for the wishes and
respect of the people when they feel
entrenched in power, that it reminds
us of the case of the devil when sick
and when we'll
when sick, the devil monk would
be,
When well, a devil of monk is
he"
The fact is, that in the last cleo
tion We had a splendid opportunity
not only to gain recruits, but to carry
the State Republican. Everybody
knows that no serious effort was
made by the so-called State organi-
cation to gain recruits or carry the
State. There was not a semblance
of organization, and hence a vigor-
Gus campaign was not conducted
from headquarters.
Everybody who knows anything
about the conditions in the State
must know that if we had had for
State Chairman, in the last campaign,
a man who not only honestly wanted
to carry the State, but a man who
had the character and capacity to
lead the party to victory, that we
would have elected six or seven Con-
gressmen instead Of three, and that
we would have given the electoral
vote Of North Carolina to President
Taft.
1t is true that we made consider
able gains hut sion and look az tbo
returns and you will observe that
they were made only in spots and as
the result of local efforts, with any
help from the State organization and
without the knowledge of the ring

A RING BOSS LIE.

The Raleigh News and Observer,
in an editorial, says:
1.-THE firm Of Marion Butler
and John Motley Morehead, linn
tied, are trying to be made the
official distributors of Federal
pie in North Carolina. That is
the secret Of Morehead's candi-
dacy. There is no contest
among Republicans except as to
who shall be State Chairman
and that place is coveted only
because it gives power to dis
tribute pie
This charge Is being continuously
made by the Raleigh News and OBJ
server, and it is also being industri.
ously circulated by the pie counter
ring bosses from one end of the
State to the other. Indeed, it is
hard to tell who is the author of the
lie,-whether it is the Republican
machine or the Raleigh News and
Observer. which is their close alIy
and Democratic side organ.

ring bosses and the editor of the Ra-
leigh News and Observer know that
Morehead is a candidate for State

THE DEMOCRATIC FIGHT ON MIR.
MOREHEAD.

The following extract from the
Charlotte Observer correctly states
the facts. Red heads in the News and
Observer, with vile language and per-
sonal abuse on the part of that pa
per, which was industriously aided
by the Greensboro News, revealed
plainly to the Republican voters of
North Carolina the community of in
terest between the Democratic party
and the "pie-counter brigade of the
Republicans, each of which has it's
own reasons for fearing Mr.. More
heads election: Says the Observer:
1--WE rather think that some
Democratic newspapers have
overdone their attacks upon
Representative Morehead and
ex-senator Butler. For one
thing, these papers manifestly
want the Morehead-B Butler COM
bination beaten at Greensboro

they are helping along it's cause

bosses. The State Chairman and
his advisers actually refused 10 bill
speakers In counties that we're striv-
ing TO win when these coun-
ties were appealing from day 10
day for speakers whom their people
wanted TO hear and who could reach
the ear Of the voters who must be
won. Every appeal for Hoiton and
other such speakers vas turned
down.
The fact ix. that In those parts Of
the State In the last campaign. where
our local committees failed TO organ
lie and make vigorous local efforts,
we either made no gains. or. as did
happen in some counties. We suffered
actual losses. This could not have
happened in a single county In North
Carolina with a State organization
worthy OF the name.
Il Is the business of a State organ
ization 10 especially help the weak
counties to organize and get on their
feet TO make a vigorous and progress
siye fight so as 10 appeal to the In
dependent voters and gain recruits.
This was not done by the Republican
State organization i'm a single county.
The fact Is, that the ring leaders
who care nothing about Republican
victories, but whose sole occupation
Is to run the old rotten referee sys-
TEN for their own selfish purposes,
were surprised and dumbfounded at
the victories that we did gain as the
result of local efforts.
1t was these same machine bosses
who handicapped the party at the
State Convention by cracking their
machine lash over the heads of their
office-holders, who packed the con-
vention, and forcing them to strad-
die the great fundamental principle
of local self-government. The mis-
cradle and cowardly straddle made
by the party on that great issue cost
the party from not less than ten to
fifteen thousand votes in the last
election. That action was nothing
less than base treachery to the party.
There was only one thing that ap-
pealed to the rank and file of our
people and to the independent voters
from the mountains to the sea and
caused a general movement of re-
cruits to our ranks, and that was the
great speech made by President Taft
at Greensboro, and his frequent ut
terances to the same effect since, de-
nouncing the old rotten referee sys-
tenn in the South, pointing out how it
had been a curse to party growth
and also pointing the way toward
building up strong, militant and
progressive Republican party in
North Carolina and the other South
ern States. Mr.. Morehead is now
fighting to carry out that policy for
party growth and success.
/ Had it not been for that speech OF
President Taft, Congressman More
head would not have run for Con
gress, and If he had run, he would
not have been elected. These are the
cold facts, and every intelligent man
knows it, and every honest man
would admit it.
The people to-day are more alert
than ever before, and this is why
they are crying out, Down with
ring rule!" and why they are raising
from the mountains to the sea, the
banner of "Morehead and victory

"Brady's Store precinct COM

ed it's delegation 10 vote Tor

The Greensboro Daily News, of the
same day, has the identical special
news article from Durham, which Is
word for word as that published by
the News and Observer, except the
one paragraph quoted above, which
is favorable to Morehead, and which
the Republican organ cuts out. So
with all of the zeal of the News and
Observer to help Duncan and his
crowd and to misrepresent Morehead,
that paper appears to be even fairer
than the Duncan organ at Green's
boro. The Greensboro Daily News
not only has the reporter for the
News and Observer to send to 1t the
same report that goes to the Demo
cratic organ, but it actually cuts
out the only line in the dispatch
which has a statement of facts favor
able to Morehead.
In short, the Daily News has
thrown off all pretense in attempting
to be fair, or attempting to be even
a newspaper of even the third class
it has thrown off the mask and ex-
posed itself as the cheapest and most
unfair personal machine organ that
is to-day published in the State. But
after the conduct of that paper in
making an attack upon Mr.. More
head and Mr.. Butler on Friday morn
ing, the day that the convention met
no one can expect any fair or honor
able treatment at the hands of such
a sheet or at the hands of the kind
of men behind it.
In short, that paper is now a self.
confessed prostituted ring organ OF
the lowest type.
