investigation of the situation.
He is the man to pitt against

who appeals to all classes; the

is what the News says of Mr.
Cooke editorially in its last issue:
Are You For Him?
"The more we study the cam

the last few weeks, carried on

gressional nomination, the more
convinced are we that he is the
strongest man that we can put
forth against John G.. Grant.

THE Ninth DISTRICT.

The indications are that Mr..
Samuel S. McNinch, of Char
lotte, who was recently inveigled
into the republican party by
being nominated for Congress,
has some mighty hard shedding
ahead of him. The very class of
voters to which the republicans
thought his candidacy would ap-
peal has baked right on the
start. 1t was openly declared
that the cotton mill operators,
without regard to party align
ment, favored McNinch against
Congressman Webb. But it
seems that Mr.. Webb is, HIM
self, on good terms with the
textile manufacturers, a number
of whomlhave plainly indicated
their intention of supporting him
for another term. Besides this,
many old line republicans are
swearing vengeance against
their newly converted leader and
declare they will kick out of the
traces rather than compromise
principle by voting for him.
Here is a sample letter from one
of the latter class, which is inter-
esting:
L want to say that my first
reason is that McNinch is no Re-
publican and neither does he
claim to be in his card of accep-
lance.
THE second reason | have is
because he has been voting the
Democratic ticket all his life in
the State, and doing all he could
to keep the Republican party out
of power in North Carolina. He
has never held office in his life
except as a Democrat. AS we
true Republicans have been try
ing to build our party up, Nc
Ninch has been trying to tear it
down. How can | vote for a
man like McNinch, who has re-
at the DOWNFALL of the Re-
party in North Caro-
Another reason why / won't
vote for McNinch is that l am
not in favor of running a man
who has not first proved his
by his works. I want to
say right here the time has come
for the Republican party to
nominate men who have proved
themselves true to our party.
Another reason why / won't
vote for McNinch is that he
that he is a friend of
Mr.. Taft's administration, the
very thing that has closed down
all, or most all of our cotton mills
and work shops, and turned out
of us laboring people
who are out of jobs and at the
mercy of our country.
No, | never can vote for men
ike McNinch. I as a true Re-
beg my party to bring
out clean and true Republicans
so that we cotton mill operatives
have a chance to vote.
