POLITICAL PERSECUTION.
MIR. w. II. Humphrey Brands a
Recently Circulated Report as
Lie Out of Whole Cloth.

To the Editor of The Eobesonian:
| desire tosay through your COL
umns that the report circulated
recently by some of my political
enemies that | have written a
letter or letters to a Republican
or Republicans indicating a will
lingness to accept the nomination
for clerk on the Republican ticket,
in case am not nominated by the
Democratic party, is lie of the
whole cloth. The author of this
report is, to say the least, po-
litical cut-throat and slanderer
and belongs to that class of whom
the Scripture says the devil is
his father: and those who have
given currency to the report be-
long to the same class.
This report is nothing more nor
less that another installment of
malicious, political persecution
and it will not take a very wise
man to see this.
Under the law the man who
circulates a damaging report on
another is just as guilty as the
man who starts it.
No Sir, there is not a word OF
truth in the report. | am grow
ing stronger in the Democratic
faith with the years, and | have
never seen the time when wonlC
not have been willing for my
Democracy to have been put tt
the test along by the side of those
who are assailing my politics.
have always voted theDemocrati<
ticket in full, without scratching.
have done as much, perhaps. ir
my humble way, for the party,
as any man in the county, ane
expect to live out the rest Of my
life, and die. a Democrat.
Who can do more?
No Sir, if I am defeated in thu
primary, that will be the last O:
it with me; more than that,
will accept defeat as graceful,
as l know how, and thank thu
people for past favors.
! | am offering one hundred
dollars for the delivery Of tn
letter above referred to.

Platform Adopted by Republi-
can State Convention-Execu-
tive Committee.

The most significant feature Of
the platform adopted by the Re-
publican State convention which
met in Greensboro last Wednes-
day and elected John Motley
Morehead as State chairman was
the local self-government plank.
The platform endorses Taft and
the tariff, denounces machine pol
itics and bossism, calls for free
textbooks in public schools and
condemns the awarding of judi
cial Offices to pay political debts,
which hits at the Kitchin-M Man
ming appointment. An effort on
the part Of Colonel Lusk to stab
President Taft on the score Of
the Connor appointment was vot-
ed down. The amendment to
the plan of organization follows
that laid down by theDemocratic
party. The committee hereafter
will have ten members at large
instead of six; delegates shall be
citizens of the county from which
they are elected; the vote in
primaries shall be prorated and
each candidate given the
strength he polls.
The following were elected as
the State executive committee,
representing the congressional
district in the order named: I.
M. Meekins, E. W. Patrick,
George Butler, J. J. jenkins, D. F.
Robertson, S. A. Edmunds, frank
W. Hayes, C. H. Cowles, C. E.
Green and F.A. Tanning. The ter
members-at-large will be named
by State Chairman Morehead.

IMITATION.

The best that can be said for an
imitation is that Il resembles that
which It isn't and isn't that which
at first glance 1t appears to be and
afterwards proves not to be. It's
only worth is its deceptive appear
ance: and its worth Increases with
the success of the deception; and the
one most deceived by it is the one
who thinks he can deceive others

Who, for Instance?

That Kentucky is a doubtful state
is a fact that Democrats should look
squarely in the face. They should
begin right now to consider the
mistakes which they are liable to
make that would operate against
themselves and in favor of the Re-
publicans in the election. The first
and greatest mistake would be to
place any man on the Democratic
ticket who has held a state office or
been a nominee for a state, in re-
cent years. That it would be a grave
blunder to nominate any of them, is
so evident that reason need not be
stated.--Henry County Local.
