An Appeal to True Republicans, and
Those Who Want Prosperity, to
Get Busy.

Dear Caucasian:-I have several
times in the past written articles in
your valuable paper, and | again feel
like | want to say something in re-
gard to several things.
First, | want every Republican to
become active in every way, and that
at once. See that every Republican
pays his poll-tax at once. Then see
that a full delegation goes from the
primaries to the County Convention;
from there to the State Convention,
and from there see that full dele
cation goes to the National Conven-
ton, and also see that not a single
of them. There are only few of
them left, and lets bury them be-
low the clOds of terror" for they are
not worthy Of any attention at all,
referee machine is member of any
after showing themselves as they
have shown in the past. Let them go
to the Democrats in full if they so de-
sire, put on a red shirt" and be
no longer a wolf in sleeps attire"
To-day the Republican party is
composed of some of the best bust
men, and above all white mans
party" This is fully shown in every
convention l have been in for several
years. BY your complying with the
above, you will see that victory is
ours
There never has been brighter hope
for Republican victory in this State
than is, and soon will be-that is,
when we meet in Raleigh on May Is
and erect a nice monument over Mr..
Duncan & Company's political career,
| for the people down east are deter
mined to seal their fate forever, and
l now appeal to the west to cooper
ate with us. l further appeal to the
| illiterate voter to refer his memory
| to that clause in our constitution that
was intended to disfranchise our
white boys. If it had not been after
the white boys it would have stopped
at saying: Whose lineal descendants
| was allowed to vote in any State prior
to 1857" "This killed the niger"
but when they hit on education quail
| fcations they there killed our white
| boys.
There were two young men in my
| township last election not allowed to
register because they could not read
and write. l appeal to the old SOL
der to recollect those Democratic
Congressman and Senators who vot-
ed to allow niger soldiers dollar
per day and never mentioned our old
soldiers. l also extend hearty well
come to all laborers who want good
wages and prosperity to reign in all
parts of the land to join in with us
and redeem our State from the Truts
Pay reasonable tax and again bring
, our State out of debt. / invite all of
you to just see how prosperous all the
Republican counties are out of debt,
The Caucasian. (Clinton, N.C.) 188?-1913, 1912-05-02

Dear Sir:-I am writing this 10
inform you that ! have always voted
Democratic ticket. and | have seen
SO much "rottenness" in the Demo-
cratic party that have completely
turned against the Democratic venom
and when my system gets right again
shall try a big dose OF Republican
elixir OF life"
| see a great prospect for Repub-
lican victory because the former dor
mant ones will be at the polls this
time together with many new con-
verts and vote a straight through
Republican ticket, and II Mr.. Roose-
welt Is nominated. | think the Re-
publicans will be sure to carry North
Carolina this year.
Anything | can do for Republican
success / will do. Call on me.

u. Parsons was unanimously en-

Tor the candidacy.
For years Mr.. Parsons name has

lie has a wide acquaintance and
there is not a stronger man in West

htted man in the Eighth District to
make the race against Congressman

the prospects are that he will gain a
great victory for the Republican
Party.
Since the election of 1910 Mr.. Par
SONS has been constantly besieged by
most of friends from various coun-
Ties to accept the nomination and
make the race for Congress. He has
oeen assured of a solid delegation
from some of the mountain counties,

nominated, and his friends are sure
mat he will be, he will make a ire
mendous fight in the coming election.

The French King now saw that he
must change tactics. He agreed TO
restore the assembly. a legislative
body: he awlso abandoned the stamp
duty an the territorial impost. which
had been the prime cause ov much oy
the trouble But the country wuz
goin' to the dogs. an wuZ goIn' fast.
In November ov that year a full meet
in ov the parliament and priaces WIZ
called by the King. The King enter
ed the capitol buiidin' an ADDRESSED
the lawmakers. He suggested a neS
loan or bond issue ov Asa. 0O0, 900
liyres. or nearly s10O.000.000 in
American money. He awlso propos-
ed that the protestants be fully es-
tablished az a religious sect an that
they be granted full protection IN
their mode ov worship. He liz said
TO hev made a speech ov uncommon
oy regard for the people, but at the
same time made hit plain that he ex-
pected hiZ orders to go in aw! quar-
ters. The members ov parliament
lately banished had been recalled an
he probably expected an early agree
ment to hiz plans But the mem
bers ov the parliament soon con-
vinced him by their speeches that
they were only at the beginnin' ov
the fife. Durin' a very spirited de-
bate, in which the King took a part,
an which lasted for a whole day the
King arose to hiz feet in great anger
an directed that the edict be regis
tered without delay. This course
wuZ promptly objected to by the
Duke Of Orleans, supposed to be a
warm supporter ov the King and hiz
plans. The Duke said he regarded
the act ov the King az an infringe
ment ov the rights ov parliament an
protested that the entire prOceedins
ov the day be declared null an void.
The King IL said to hev stood in mute
establishment when hiz former bench
man came out and opposed him SO
emphatically. The King soon made
hiz way out ov the parliamentary
hall an the Duke of Orleans at once
moved that az the proceedins had
been interrupted by the retirement
ov the King, that the entire business
ov the day be voted az null an void
an this wuz done. The Duke of Or
leans knew that the King, Louis
would be back at him an he wuz not
surprised when he got an order the
next day directin' him to retire to
one ov hiz country homes, villas cot
terel, about forty miles from Paris
an to receive no visitor except mem
bers ov hiz immediate family. Two
