Political Tricksters Can't Dominate
the Republican Party in Wake
Countrywide For Franks for the
Senate.

j. c. L Harris, of Raleigh, \. c.,
AT one time in Wake County was con-
sidered an artful politician; but oh.
my, the great God of War became SO
delusive that he thought he could do
anything in politics and not be
caught. But at last the Democracy
OF Joe Daniels set a trap, and the po-
litical bait was so tempting the big
Colonel walked in. After walking in
the Democracy demanded his oath of
allegiance which he freely gave with
out hesitation, binding himself under
no less obligation than this-that
he, ]. c. L. Harris, would support the
Democratic ticket, which is as fol-
lows:
Raleigh, n. c., April II, 1911.
Il solemnly swear that | have here
tofore affiliated with the Democratic
party in that l have heretofore voted
the Democratic ticket, in part, in the
last city election, and that | will sup
port and vote for the ticket to be NOM
mated to-day.
"(Signed) J. c. L. HARRIS. -
Now, the said j. c. L. Harris comes
back to the straight Republicans of
Wake County backed by Willis G.
Briggs, Charles Wildes, Len Stephen
son, w. ]. Andrews, and a few Federal
pOstmasterS in the county that love
their jobs better than they do the Re-
publican party and ask the straight
Republicans of Wake County to re-
store him to full fellowship.
Swift Creek Township will not sup
port him; we want straight goods or
none at all. T. NJ. Franks has al
ways been loyal to the party and its
principles ever since he began to vote
the ticket. Mr.. Franks is a strong
Roosevelt man, believes in a govern
ment of the people, by the people and
for the people, and straight men for
Office or none.
Colonel Harris claimed to be a
strong Roosevelt man until after he
and his boiling delegation were seat
ed in the State Convention, and then
the very next day, in their boiling
Congressional Convention, he and his
other boilers refused to instruct TO
Colonel Roosevelt for President.

Widely Different Kinds of Democrats


Union Republican,
Neighbor Gunter, of the Daily
Journal, says that Governor Kitchin
alleges that Senator Simmons is not a
Democrat, basing his charges upon
the action of Senator Simmons on
the tariff question in Congress from
time to time. 1t will be remembered
that SenatorA Simmons has been
chosen to head the tariff fight in the
Senate by the Democrats in that
body. Doubtless the Democracy of
the United States Senators and that
of Governor Kitchin differs. But
this is not strange for Democracy is
of many kinds. And this once again
revives the old question, What is a
Democrat?" What is Senator Sim
mons, politically? Assuredly> he is
not a Republican. Can Editor Gun

say a few words in behalf of the
true Republicans in Wake County.
Mr.. j. c. L. Harris has entered
his name as candidate to be voted

Republican nominee for the State
Senate. The time was when Mr.. Har-
ris could claim to be a Republican,
but since the State went Democratic
my friend Harris has been going
Democratic more or less every time
I have heard from him. In former
years he would say in speeches that
we must raise up our sons to vote the
Republican ticket. Colonel Harris
now has several sons of voting age,
and I would like for him to tell the
voters how many of them vote the
Republican ticket.
Now. in the lower division of Mr..
Harris ward see he and his friends
have filed the names OF three colored
men for precinct committeeman, also
three names of three white men for

The Act of sneezina.

There is a sensitive membrane in the
upper part Of the nose end fine hairs
in the lower part to catch dust and
prevent it from reaching this mem
brane. If dust or some other irritating
substance does pass the hairs and
reaches this membrane it produces an
irritation. and we try to get rid OF 1t.
We get rid of the cause of mild irr1-
tant like mucus b! blowing the nose.
For sudden and strong irritant like
snuff we need more powerful force
from the back to dislodge it. We
therefore take a long deep breath and
suddenly expel it through the nose.
The irritation causes flow OF mueus
in the nose and flow of tears through
irritation of duct which connects the
lacrymal or tear sac with the nose.
rhe explosive expulsion Of the air
through the nose carries with 1t the
mucus and the irritant. When we have
n cold in the nose the membrane Is

| of cold air may be enough to irritate II
