......No political speaker ever had
the attention from CASTOR county
audience which was accorded Govern
or w. w. Kitchin at Dallas WedneS-
day afternoon. For more than two
solid hours large crowd listened to
him on the court house lawn at the
county seat with undivided interest
and attention. The majority of those
present were Democrats, as would
have been expected, but there were
not few Republicans in the crowd
and they, too, listened to the speaker
as he set forth in one of the most logi-
cal and convincing speeches ever
heard IN TINS county, the fundamental
principles of Democracy and as he
riddled the record of the Republican
party to a fraZZle. Governor kitchin's
address, while free from any bitter
ness or acrimonious Slurs on the Re-
publican party was a very forceful
and telling plea for Democratic prin-
cipleS. In cOntradistinctiOn to the
bald assertion made here last Satur-
day by Marion Butler that North Car
olina is a state of lawlessness and is
suffering from mismanagement. Gov
ernor Kitchin placed before his hear
erS an array of facts and figures which
told eloquently-more so than words
of the marvellous progress our COM
mOn-Wealth has made under Demo-
cratic administration. He told of the
great advancement made i'm education
al lines, in agriculture, in facilities for
caring for the INDECENT and imbecile
citizens of the state, of the greatly en-
larged appropriations for Confederate
veterans. of the great increase in rail-
road mileage and in the taxable value
of property. His comparison of con-
ditiOnS Today and as they were under
the Butler Russell regime was vivid
and was sufficient to make any open
minded man ashamed of any cOnnec-
ton with a party which was RESPONSE
BILE for the disgusting and revolving
conditions that prevailed in those dark
days of North Cardinals shame.
