GOVERNMENT ny MIG
BUSINESS INTEREST,",

II hi an editorial on July 10 the
Il New York World expressed a view
\ that has long been taken by
\ lhoughlful progresSiees The eoun-
FRY over The idea sci forth is
Is that the real substantial
forces back Of Roosevelt candidacy
are not progressive at all but re-
fastcn upon the country nothing less
than George W Perkins theory Of
government by big business.
The World editorial says;
The third-term ambitions Of
AIr. Roosevelt, who refuses to retire
from the presidency, and the plan
OF Mr. Perkins to subordinate con-
grcss and the Judiciary to a court
Of big business, can find no worthy
representative in any of the
parties now in The field.
Thus the new party exhibits at
once the controlling motives Of inn
perialism and reaction. II is not
progressive democracy. II is democ
racy in retreat, seeking refuge in
! the arms of the strong man. 1t
is moi roformatory in any sense.
II contemplaics the abandonment
Of reform and a surrender to the
very interests represented by Geo.
w Perkins. late Of J. p. Morgan &
Co., which have constantly resisted
reform.
when oyster Bay praises the
cxlorionate tariff and demands the
repeal Of the Antitrust law, the
voice is Mr.. RoOseyeN's but the
sentiments are Mr. Perkins. When
Messrs. Perkin, Munsey and McCor-
mick insist upon a third term,
they show that Wall street, the
steel trust and The harvester trust
know their man and are not UNI
grateful.
What the new party is to at
tempt Is a change in the form OF
the national government. If our
would-be dictators, political and
were already omnipo-
tent, could they find an easier way
to divert attention from the reforms
that they fear?' ?;
Colonel ROoseyelt's own utteran- :
ces show this view of his candida ,
ey to be we'll founded He still
favors a tariff for protection, or, /
in other words, for special priv |
Ieges. He wants to repeal the I
anli-lrust law and rely upon regu- [
Iation Of trusts by the government.
furthermore he wants TO be the
government and the steel trust,
he greatest octupus of them all,
llso wants him in office again.
II is a question the people will ?
ave TO decide in November and it II
will be the most momentuous is $
ne since the civil war. What
makes the thing harder is the II
act Messrs. Perkins, Mccormick, ct v
H., have a popular idol as their car s.
idate. They were fortunate in W

) liked by the populace and who I'll

SIMMONS NOW ASKING FOR
MERCY.

Senator Simmons spoke in Abe
marie some days ago, and an account
of his speech as published in one of
the Stanly County papers, which is
not unfriendly to him, shows that
the tenor OF his speech was for SYM
patty and mercy. This is quite differ
ent from his attitude earlier in the
campaign when he was Dragging that
he couldn't be beaten in the State.
In his Albemarle speech he lament
ed the fact that after he had made SO
many sacrifices for his party that he
should be the object of personal at
tack And he told the audience that
he could see great things ahead that
he could do if only returned to the
Senate.
Those great things he saw ahead
were probably the Governments
vouchers for $500 year. But
those sacrifices he has made for the
party is something to be considered.
He has been so unselfsh and patri-
otto that he has allowed his friends
to persuade him to hold office for
about twenty years. Of course he
only consented to do this patriotic
act because no other Democrat was
so competent to hold them.

ROOSEVELT MADE VOTES.

One Congressman, bearing the
odor of South Carolina Democracy,
announced some days ago that Col.
Roosevelt's trip through the South
would not gain half-dozen votes
for him. But that Congressman did
not know. No one claims that Mr..
Roosevelt will carry every Southern
State, for many of them have not yet
learned that they should vote like
they think, but Mr.. Roosevelt made
more than half-dozen votes by his
speech in Raleigh alone, and all OF
them we're former Democrats, save
one Republican, who had not fully
made up his mind until hearing the
ColonePs speech. Even the strong
est Democrats were amazed at the
enormous crowd that turned out to
hear Roosevelt and at the undivided
attention given him during his entire
speech. There is not another man in
the nation who could have held his
audience throughout, and even those
who had been standing in the aisles
for more than an hour before the
Colonel entered the hall, were sorry
when he closed his speech. The peo-
pie are with Roosevelt, but the poll
ticians and corporations are going to
beat him if they can, because they
know they can't control him.

Messrs. Gudger and Station. the
Democratic and Republican candi-
dates for Congress In the Tenth Dis

few days ago signed an agreement
that mo money. whiskey. or other
thing OF value" shall be used in the
campaign in Mcdowell County. The
Democratic and Republican commit
tees in Mcdowell two years ago made
an agreement OF this kind for the
county campaign. This year they re-
that the Congressional candidates en-
tered into the agreement. Each Con-
gressional candidate made a contri-
button for the expenses OF the Nc
Dowell campaign, but outside of this
their agreement binds them 10 spend
TO other money in Mcdowell. -
An agreement similar TO that in
Mcdowell should be made in every
county in the State The Citizen
says the Democratic County Chair
man in Buncombe is seeking to make
such an agreement with the Repub-
lican chairman. The Democratic
chairman, according to the Citizen,
is already being beseiged by that
large class who look on a campaign
as an opportunity to make money.
In addition to those who demand pay
for their votes outright, there are
many who call on the chairman with
list of names and tell how they
could get all these men right for a
small sum-say $40, SIS, or s25. II
the money is handed over, in nine
cases out of ten the caller sticks it in
his jeans and that is the end of it.
The Buncombe Democratic chairman,
says the Citizen, is turning the So
licitors down this year. In Davidson
County, which has long had the rep
utation of being one of the most cor
rupt in the State, good citizens are
making an effort to eliminate the cor
ruption funds in the campaign. We
repeat that these agreements should
be made in every county in the State;
and wherever there is a Democratic
or Republican County Chairman who
believes that elections should be
clean, he should put the matter up to
the other side. Soon public senti-
ment would force an agreement and
by and by this corrupt and debasing
practice would be eliminated.

MORE DEMOCRATIC HYPOCRISY

Democratic headquarters in New
York is sending out small pamphlet
stating that a Democratic House of
Representatives has passed tariff
bills since January which would have
reduced the high cost of living $780,
100000 a year, if the bills had not
been vetoed or turned down by the
Senate.
This is a cheap piece of hypocrisy
that we do not believe will fool many
voters The Democrats would not
pass tariff measures in accordance
with, the findings of the Tariff Com
mission, but took up new schedules
that had not been investigated and
passed measures which they knew
the Senate would not pass and which
the Democrats themselves would not
have passed if they had thought their
measures would have been acceptabl
to the Senate or mad any cnance OF
becoming law. The Democrats have
failed to tell the voters that the Con-
gress to which they refer cost the
country over one billion dollars, and
that these same Congressman voted
for the pension steal, increased the
salaries of their clerks, and refused
to cut their mileage expense from 20
cents a mile to the actual amount
they paid the railroads for transpor-
tation. They hung on to that graft,
They now want to preach economy,
but they didn't practice it while in
Congress, and they will not be able
to fool the voters who care to be in
formed.

ROOSEVELT BEFORE THE COM
MITTEE.

Colonel Roosevelt Friday appeared
before the Senate Committee that is
investigating campaign contributions
to various parties and their candi-
dates. Two members of the commit
tee thought they had matters framed
up to put Mr.. Roosevelt in a bad
light before the public. They thought
they could secure evidence to show
that Mr.. Roosevelt or his campaign
managers had accepted money from
trusts for which favors were to be
given in return. But in this they
fell fat. On the other hand, Mr..
Roosevelt produced evidence show
ing that he had instructed his cam
paign managers not to receive con-
tributions from the Standard Oil
Company, and furthermore, If they
had received any, to return it, and If
money had been contributed by any
one else with any conditions coupled
with it that such contributions
should be returned. Messrs. Cortel-
you and Loeb, from whom the COM
mittee expected to get some startling
evidence, went on the stand and
proved that Col. Roosevelt's hands
were clean.
Those who knew Colonel Roosevelt
best knew there was nothing to be
feared from any evidence the COM
mittee could obtain that would not
