ANNOUNCEMENT.
Why Progressive Republicans Can
Not Follow the Taft Machine.

&; Lincoln Times.]
When Taft was nominated at Chi
cago by open fraud we announced our
purpose to not support him. Since
that time and up to the present we
have worked and hoped for harmony
among the Republicans and Progress
sives in State matters. By private let
ter we urged upon Chairman More
head the Importance of this course
and had his assurance that notWith-
standing the action of the State Com
mittee in declaring only Taft support
ers would be allowed to participate in
the Convention, he would favor a har-
mony program.
But when the convention met this
week the doors were closed against
every Roosevelt delegate. The peo-
pie were ignored and little machine
robbed the great rank and file of the
voters Of voice in the convention
They further demonstrated their dis
loyalty to the people who compose 80
per cent of the Republican party by
injecting the liquor into the cam
paign. They nominated Tom Settle
for Governor on local option plat
form. This action should satisfy the
Woodrow Wilson Democrats, for Will
son and Settle are together on this
question. But it does not satisfy the
people.
We have heretofore been unwill-
ing to sever allegiance to the Repub-
lican party and have declared we
would not do SO unless the machine
kicked US out. This they have done.
There are two courses left to us,
one is to smother conscience, desert
principle, endorse high-handed fraud
and support the Republican ticket.
The other is to stand by our convic-
lions and retain our loyalty to the
peoples cause, and support the only
party that represents the real and
true principles of Democracy, name
ly, the Progressive party. This
course We have chosen. Henceforth
We are a Progressive.
We shall do all in our power for
both the National and State Progress
sive tickets, which shall appear at
our masthead in next issue. Let the
people rule.

Overman Small Caliber Politician.
Lincoln Times.1
Senator Overman had himself in
terviewed at Salisbury one day last
week in reference to the amount of
money the Democratic Congress ap-
propriated during the year. Senator
Overman says if the pension bill, the
rivers and harbor bill, and the post
Office bill are not counted the present
Congress spent $37,000,00O less than
last Congress. But he did not tell
the whole truth, that counting these
bills he admitted the present Con-
gress instead of decreasing expendi-
lures for general expenses, actually
Increased it $9,00O,000.
1t is strange that Mr.. Overman in
telling of these expenditures should
leave off the above item in order to
show a saving" Of course, he
could have made the Saving" still
larger by excepting few more of the
larger appropriations.
That interview was given out for
no other purpose than to deceive the
people, and it brands Overman as a
small caliber politician.

as the result of taking some poison
Gus drug.
Mr.. Steel lad been sick for several
days, but no one thought of his TAX

One Taft Elector and One Roosevelt
Elector in Eighth District.

The Republican Congressional
Convention for the Eighth District,
which assembled in Statesville Tues

barrel affair. G. D. B. Reynolds, of
Stanly County, was nominated for
Congress. T. o. league, of Alexan-
der, who represented that county in
the last Legislature, was nominated
for elector by the Taft people, while
R. Y. Tharpe, of Statesville, was nom
mated for elector by the Roosevelt

Big Crop Cotton. But Money Less.
New Orleans Dispatch, 5th.)

New Orleans Dispatch, 5th.)
The cotton crop of the South for
the year ending August 81, 1912, &C
cording to statistics compiled by H.
G. Hester, secretary of the New Or
leans Cotton Exchange, exceeded that
of the previous year by 4,018,331
bales, yet it's money value was S1O7,-
074,S25 less. This was due as much
to the low grade of the crop as to
the decrease in the price resulting
from over-production. 1t was the low
est in grade of any crop for the past
ten years. Mr.. Hester says that an
acreage in cotton larger than ever be-
fore combined with favorable condi-
lions resulted in crop larger by g.
100000 bales than ever before re-
corded. A further important factor
he says. which contributed towards
the success of the monster crop, was
that the boil weevil was greatly re-
duced in numbers over it's entire
range. and says that Notwithstanding
the enormous quantity producedievery
little cotton remained in the Cotton
Belt at the close of the season and of
that more than one-ha1f was held In
stock by Northern mills. He approx
mates the amount of old cotton left
over at SIC, 900 bales.
Colonel Hester states that during
the past year there was the heaviest
consumption of American cotton on
record, exceeding the previous maxi
mum OF 1908-1909 by 1,35S,00O
bales.

WILSON PRAISES STRAUS.
Says Nomination of the Progressives
is An Admirable One and VIII Put
Democrats on Their MettIe,


Sea Girt, n. J., Sept 7.-Strong
praise for the nomination of Oscar
s. Straus as the Progressive party's
gubernatorial candidate in New York
came from both Governor Woodrow
Wilson and vice-Chairman VIM. G..
McAdoo, of the Democratic aNtional
Committee, who were in conference
here tonight. THE nomination is an
admirable one and will put us on our
mettle," the Governor had remarked
earlier in the day.
Mr.. McAdoo said tonight "I have
known Mr.. Straus for a great many
years and have the greatest admira-
ton for him personally as well as for
his ability. The nomination is both
strong and admirable
The Governor has repeatedly re-
Trained from discussing the Demo
cratic gubernatorial situation In New
York State and would not alter his
course today. 1t is known, however,
that he is looking forward with keen
interest to the outcome of the State
Convention at Syracuse on October l.
Not one definite word has escaped
him as to his attitude, but some of
his intimate advisers are known to
hold the belief that his friends in
New York would resist any attempt
on the part of the Tammany organ
ization or any other to dictate the
gubernatorial nomination.
