Editor The Caucasian:-W the
Democratic politicians were figuring
m how many votes their men might
have 10 steal in 1898 in order to de-
clare the Democratic ticket elected,
one OF the leaders in Raleigh wrote
the Democratic leader in Robson
County to hold Robson and save
the state The Democrats then de-
flared they must get rid of the negro
IN politics and have white supremacy.
Now in the year 1912 the Democrats
in Robson County have a negro su-

berton Township. Some of the Dem
ocrars have realized that their incon-
s.stency may hurt the party and one

records OF the Road Commissioners

there are some on both sides who

favored equitable pensions, and the
Democrats in Congress have fought
the Republicans on that account and

paign for the Democrats to suddenly
change base and want to vote one

THE PENSION QUESTION.
The Caucasian Believes in Pensions
for Federal and Confederate Sol
dier>-But There Should Be Quail
fiCatiOnS.

Editor The Caucasian: - Having
seen several thrusts at the Union SOL
dler in your paper, The Caucasian,
and being such myself. l feel it my
duty to remind you that such, think,
is uncalled for and cannot possibly do
the cause into which you have en-
gagged any good, but harm. The very
fact OF the Union pensioners being on
the pension roll should satisfy you, or
any other, that they have been put
there honorably, having been put to
scrutinizing test by the Government
as TO their right to pension, whether
they were in actual battle or not, and
because some were not, 1t was not
their fault, as you would seem to in
innate in the charge you make of
pension steal. as you are pleased to
call il. In behalf Of the old Union
soldiers VIII oyou denounce as unwor-
thy TO receive such, / think If the
real steals of the peoples money
which goes in the hands of so many
ohce-holders and others who do not
stopped and the same paid to the old
veterans of the war who spent their
pest days in the great conflict be-
tween the States, and who are now
old and afflicted and unable to work,
think this Government money would
De more honorably spent. Many Of
your subscribers in this section are
Union veterans of the Civil War and
are panied to have such thrusts
thrown at them. We all like The eau
casian for its able work, its bold and
manly stand in behalf of justice and
right to the people of the Old North
state, and are very sorry you cannot
give any credit to many of her pa
ulouc sons who saw proper to jeop-
ardlze their lives for the preservation
u the old flag that still waves over
me greatest country on earth; and
VIII say right here that we are all for
roosevelt and endorse your sugges-

Sampson County Republican Conven-
ton
TO be continued.)

The Sampson County Republican
Nominating Convention was held in
the town of Clinton, Saturday, Aug
ust 81, 1912. The Convention was
called to order by w. F. Seasons,
County Chairman, in short and
pointed speech and Hon. Marion But
lerMas called to the chair as tempo
rary chairman and Messrs. Wilbert
Jackson, of Mingo, and Hinton Max
we'll, of Clinton, were made tempo
rary secretaries. On motion of c. NJ.
Faircloth, Esq, the temporary organ
ization was made permanent, after
which w. F. Seasons was reelected
County Chairman by reclamation and
c. NJ. Hall, Esq, was reelected coun-
ty Secretary.
A Committee on Platform was ap-
pointed, and while the convention
waited, Hon. Marion Butler made one
of his old-time telling speeches like
he makes on the hastings and in the
enemey's ranks. 1t was a treat to
the people of Mr.. Buffers home
county to have him present and hear
his address. He is man that never
forgets his friends and home-folks.
Interesting addresses were delivered
by Messrs George E. Butler and
John E Fowler.
This was one of the greatest and
most largely attended conventions
ever held in our county, the large and
spacious courthouse being filled as
long as there was any room for
2-s-son to get into it.
The following ticket was nominal
ed, to-wit:
For Sheriff-Isham T. McLamb.
| For Register of Deeds-James II.
Packer.
| For Treasurer-Thomas Z. Owen.
For County Surveyor - Arthur
Lee.
5 For Coroner-Dr. Jas. o. Mat
thews.
For County Commissioners-John
r. Peterson, l. L. Jackson, and W. r
Ward.
This was a great convention and
we expect to carry Sampson County
in the coming election by majority
of 1900.
: We want the people of the count.

J. and battle against the enemy and le
us win one OF the grandest victories
in the coming election known to th'

Point to Fall Election.

For many years political students
have pointed out that any decrease
in the Republican majority in Yer
mont in September below normal OF
$4,000 has been followed almost in
variably by the party defeat IN the
Presidential fight in November. These
majorities which have averaged close
to 10000 in all the State elections IN
Vermont in Presidential years since
1892 were represented today by a
bare plurality.
The Republican loss apparently
went in a great degree to the Pro
gressives and TO a somewhat lesser
extent to the Democrats.
The falling OF in the Republican
vote began with the first return
while the Progressives gained al
along the line, in some cases carrying
towns which had heretofore been re-
garded as strong Republican.
Progressive leaders were greatly
pleased with the result. 1t was point
ed out that the party had gone into
the fight with an organization tha'
was new to politics and was forced tc
make up with notable orators what II
lacked in party management, with
Colonel Roosevelt leading the charge
The Democratic managers also derlv
ed satisfaction from the early returns
showing as they did decided gains
over two and four years ago. The,
also pointed out that these gains
| would be made despite the claims OF

White River Junction, VT, Sept. B.
The strength of the new Progress
sive party in its first lineup against
the older parties and the disappear
ance of the Republican majority for
tie first time in ten years and the
first time in the history of the State
on Presidential year. were the out
standing features of the State cleo
ton in Vermont today.
1t was apparent early in the even
ing that there had been no election
by the pople, although a sufficient
number of Republican representa-
tiyes are successful to seem to ensure
the choice of Allen VI. Fletcher, OF
Cavandish, by the legislature.
