A letter postmarked Sea Girt. y.

Mr.. Jos. Daniels. The Charlotte OBJ
server. Charlotte. -. C" II vas
promptly forwarded to Its true desd-
nation. with the endorsement. such
is fame. "-Charlotte Observer.
Now wasn't that awful After Mr..
Daniels paper had said that he was
TO be one of the principal promoters
of Wilson's campaign and had been
to Sea Girt TO help outline the cam
paign, then for Mr.. Wilson 10 think
that Daniels lived In Charlotte. and
not even know there was such a pa
per published as the News and Obser-

Congressman willing TO 90 be
fore the country With . record
like that"
When our patriotic forefathers
were struggling to establish our In
dependence. their slogan vas NIL
lions for defense. but not one cent fol
tribute As the Charlotte Observe,
says. the Democratic party has re
versed this patriotic slogan. and their
motto now Is, Tens OF millions for
tribute. and not one cent for de-
Tense"
When the Democratic House. after
having for forty years denounced the
Republican party for extravagan'
pensions to Union soldiers. proceeded
TO endorse all Republican pensions
and to vote seventy-five million dol
lars additional, this was not only q
case OF voting millions for tribute "
but 1t was worse; 1t Is a case OF a
clear steal OF millions of dollars
from the public treasury with which
to buy a Presidential election. Can
any patriotic citizen support a party
with q record like that"

A MUCH VExED QUESTION.

Suppose that the Democratic Ex-
ecutive Committee of this State
should decide that a Democrat is a
man who stands on Democratic
platform, as Governor Kitchin de-
mands, then would they not read
both Senator Simmons and Governor
Kitchin out of the party? How could
either one of them vote in the Demo-
cratic primary for Senator, since they
both have refused to stand on the
Democratic platform, State and Ma
tional?
If this rule is applied to those who
vote in the Democratic primaries.
then it should be applied to the can
didates for Senator, and this would
rule both of them out as candidates
