THE TRUSTS WANT SIMMONS TO
STAY IN THE SENATE.

Every time Senator Simmons calls
up one Of the pop-gun Democratic
campaign tariff bills in the Senate, he
has himself advertised in all of the
newspapers in the State as the great
Democratic leader who is battling for
the cause of Democracy against the
robber tariff barons. The people,
however, will take note of the fact
that Senator Simmons and the Demo
cratic House have shown by their ac-
tions that they are not trying to re-
duce the tariff, but are simply trying
, to manufacture campaign material.
They were caught mapping a few
days ago, when the Democratic bun
combe bill purporting to reduce the
tariff on sugar was up. The Repub-
licans, regulars and progressives in
| the Senate, tired of the Democratic
mock play, got together and offered
,, a substitute reducing the price of SUI
gar from $50 hundred to s1.60 a
hundred, and promptly passed this
ton, and one that the President will
no doubt sign, and which will become
law.
. In this connection, it is we'll to re-
member the fact that Simmons
prominence in handling these tariff
bills has been brought about by the
agency of Senator Bailey, of Texas.
Senator Bailey is considered one of
the most complete servants and
agents of monopoly in the Senate. His
connection with the Standard Oil
Trust is SO notorious that there is no
possible chance for him to be re-
elected to the Senate from his State,
and he has announced that he will
not be a candidate.
This agent of monopoly, however,
was anxious that the reactiOnary
monopoly interests should have some
man like Senator Simmons still left in
that body to serve them, and there
fore they are doing all within their
power to magnify his Importance in
order to try to help his reelection in
this State.
Thus We see that it is the desire of
the monopolies and the trusts to keep
man like Simmons in the Senate.
and this has caused Mr.. Bailey to step
aside OH the Finance Committee and
put Mr.. Simmons forward and to give
him all the advertising and promi-
hence possible.

note that Professor Wilson, the Dem

"A DEMOCRAT WITHOUT Pre-
FIXES OR SUFFIXES.

The editor of the Raleigh News
and Observer, who has been on trip
with hermembers of the Democra-
tic National Committee to pay visit
to Governor Marshall, Of Indiana, the
Democratic nominee for Vice-Presi-
dent, has returned to Raleigh. Up
on his return, he had himself inter-
viewed by his own paper to the ex-
tent of three or four columns.
In the interview, he describes the
visit to Governor Marshall, and pro-
ceeds to pay a glowing tribute to the
Democratic Vice-Presidential candi-
date. He describes him as "a Demo-
crat without prefixes or suffixes," and
says he is a Democrat Of the right
kind.
In this connection, it is pertinent to
inquire If it is the desire of the editor
of the Raleigh News and Observer to
make no distinction between prohi-
bition Democrat and whiskey Demo
crat? The editor claims to be pro-
hibition Democrat. Governor Mar
shall was elected Governor by the
whiskey trust of Indiana.
1t was the late Governor David
Bennett Hill, of New York, who want
ed the support of progressive Demo
Gratis in the West, and of bourbon
and monopoly Democrats in the
South, and of Tammany Democrats
in New York, and of all other kinds
OF men who disagree on everything
and agree on nothing. He invented
the phrase: 81 am a Democrat"
Governor Hill boosted that he did not
inquire into the belief or disbelief OF
any man on any subject, religious, po-
litical, or otherwise, as long as he
would simply say that he was "a
Democrat and stop there.
Governor Hill was a man of great
ability and of keen observation. He
knew that his party was made up of
an aggregation of people, with no
common views on any vital principle,
but that it was an aggregation of dis
satisfied people, with the widest pos
sible varying beliefs and disbeliefs on
every question; in fact, a party, or
rather heterogeneous mass of kick
ers and disbelievers.
It seems that the editor of the Ra-
leigh News and Observer is now
adopting the methods of the late Gov
ernor Hill, in order to hide the fact
that the Democratic candidate for
Vice-President is not only whiskey
Democrat, but various other kinds of
a Democrat, that is, at variance with
the belief of other people who call

WHY THE DEMOCRATS ARE
AFRAID OF COL. ROOSEVELT.

The Wilmington Star has a column
editorial in reply to subscriber who
writes to know why that paper de-
votes so much space in fighting Roo
sevelt and pays so little attention to
Mr.. Taft.
The editor of the Star frankly
states that they are turning their bat
teries on Colonel Roosevelt because
they realize that the fight is between
Roosevelt and Wilson. It Is frankly
admitted that Mr.. Taft will be third
in the race, and it is further admitted
that he will get very few electoral
votes
In reviewing the situation, the ed
itor of that paper says that the States
west of the Mississippi River are
States where Taft cannot get a single
vote, but are States which Wilson
would carry solidly If Colonel Roose-
welt was not in the race. The frank
admission is made that Colonel Roo
sevelt is likely to take most if not
every State west of the Mississippi
River away from Wilson, and it is
also admitted that Roosevelt will be
very strong in a number of States in
the Middle West, and also in the
East. This is not only a frank but
quite correct view of the situation
up to date.
In this connection, we desire to call
attention to the fact that the States
that supported Mr.. Taft at the Chi
cago Convention are States which cast
only 2,911,397 Republican votes at
the last Presidential election; while
the States that supported Colonel
Roosevelt at the Chicago Convention
cast 4,329,917 Republican votes at
the last Republican election. This
shows who was the choice of an over
whelming majority of the Republi-
cans at the Chicago Convention, and
who is the choice of the overwhelm-
ing majority of Republicans still.
There is nothing palmer than that
the great masses of the people are
for Roosevelt and that there is no
public sentiment for Taft. Taft's
support came entirely from the eff
forts of the bosses, in a number of
States, including New York, which
bosses were backed by monopoly in
f1uences. This was true before the
Chicago Convention and it is true
now.
1t has just been announced that
Boss Barnes of the State of New York
has been selected by Mr.. Taft as the
right-hand campaign manager for
Chairman Hilles. Boss Barnes is the
man who stif1ed the will of the people
in the State of New York and stole
the delegation from that State to the
National Convention for Mr.. Taft.
Mr.. Barnes had a most unsavory
reputation for political crookedness
long before this campaign opened.
His corrupt management of the Re-
publican machine in the State of New
York was so glaring that a special
committee of the State Senate of New

Negroes TO Organize Woodrow VIII.
son Party.


By chance | got hold OF a copy of
the Richmond Times-Dispatch Satur-
day afternoon and noticed in the first
column of the paper. under big head
lines, that some of the negro leaders
of the nation are going TO organize a
! Woodrow Wilson party and work for
the election of the Professor. The
article was a column long and gave
the plans and purposes Of the promo
tiers of the movement. | then looked
in Saturdays News and Observer and
other Democratic State papers for
something about the Richmond meet
ing, but not a line could | find in any
of the State papers. Doubtless the
news story was sent to them, but they
decided it would not make good read
scribers. But getting back to the
meeting. Giles Jackson, of Rich
mond, was one of the promoters of
the movement. He and several other
negro politicians had held a confer
ence in Richmond and issued a call
for National Convention, or meet
ing to be held in Richmond August
9th to perfect plans and call for new
membership. 1t would seem that
Woodrow Wilson's managers have
promised these negro leaders some
pie if they will help to elect Wilson,
and 1T may be that Wilson Is also to
give pink tea on his lawn during
he
ago. In the meeting Friday the lead
ers stated they had not been shown
any recognition at the hands of Taft's
managers or Roosevelt's managers
except they were permitted to vote
the ticket. They proposed to go with
Woodrow Wilson where they would
get recognition in addition to voting.
What other recognition is the nation
al negro leaders after unless it is of
fee? And judging from the tenor of
their talk, these Offices have already
been promised IL they will help Sc
cure Wilson's election, and will send
speakers out into the campaign. 1t
is the purpose Of these negro lead
ers to try to use the balance of the
colored voters as a cat's-paw in order
that they may get their feet In the
Democratic pie trough. Still it will
be remembered that the Democratic
party claims to be the party of white
supremacy"
And speaking Of Democrats and Of
fees, noticed a press dispatch from
Washington Sunday stating that the
hungry Democratic ofice-seekers who
have been out In the cold for 10.
these many years, are now flooding
their Congressman with letters and
petitions for practically all the post
office jobs in the United States. Even
when Congress adjourns the Demo
cratic Congressman will be afraid to
go home for fear of being mobbed
unless they can promise enough Jobs
to go around. One member of Con-
gress from Georgia says he has al

MONROE DOCTRINE AND THE
PANAMA CANAL.

Colonel Roosevelt, in an interview
commenting upon the action of the
Democratic House in refusing to ap-
propriate the money to carry on the
two-battleship program, has severely
criticised their action as unpatrietic:
when the Democrats vote
down battleships,' he said, if
they are logical they should also
vote to abandon the Panama
Canal. 1t is an outrage from the
standpoint of national interest
to go on with the Panama Canal
unless we both fortify it and
keep up an adequate navy. Fur
thermore, any talk as to what we
intend to do about the Monroe
doctrine, the Panama Canal, the
protection Of Hawaii, or any 9TH
er matter, is not merely offensive
but contemplate, il we aban-
don building up the navy and
show that we have neither the
power nor the will to make our
words good by deeds.'"
The Charlotte Observer, in an ed
itorial, also strongly condemns the
action of the Democratic House. We
