MF. Butler then referred 10 the
fact that Senator Overman had at

and told how he strutted around the
Senate posing as a Dlniel Webster.
His remarks about Overman brought
a round OF applause from the au-
dience.
The speaker read a letter written
by Mr.. Chas. n. Vance in which he
said that his father, Senator Vance,
had opposed Simmons for revenue
collector because he did not think
him fit fot that office or any other Of

tor Vance considered Simmons an
INSCRIPTIONS politician. "a full
copy of the Letter appears on another
page Of this paper.l
Mr.. Butler showed how Joe Daniels
had gotten an Office at Washington
while Vance was Senator and after
wards stabbed Vance in the back in
his paper, just as he had stabbed
Major Stanton, who had aided his
widowed mother.
He said Locke Craig had In some

State, for which he accepted no pay.
He then mentioned the fact that
Locke Craig had brought suit for =
$1,000 fee for lobbying around the
halls Of Congress.

above is written and II is impossible

Mr.. Butler concluded his speech by
pointing out the damage the News
and Observer is doing TO the State
and its material progress and he ap-
pealed TO the Christian and patriotic
voters 10 rise up and repudiate the
News and Observer methods at the
