Bull Moose For Wilson
Covington Progressive To Speak In
Lincoln-Other Speaking Dates

No stone is being left unturned
by the democrats to acquaint the
voters of Lincoln county with the is
sues involved in the present cam
paign. Speakers are billed for almost
every night from now to election day
and the Importance of every citizen
who loves his home and his country
going to the polls and voting for
Woodrow Wilson and the entire dem
ocratic ticket, is being impressed up
on all.
Announcement was made this week
by County Attorney w. S. Burch,
who is making the speaking appoint
ments over the county, that Hon. An
drey F. Adkins, former Progressive,
of Covington, and said to be splen-
did speaker, has been secured for an
address in Lincoln. Mr.. Adkins has
been billed to speak at Kings Mount
ain, on Thursday evening, October
26th at o'clock. The Woodrow
Wilson Club, of Kings Mountain will
meet at that hour and Mr.. Adkins
will speak to the club members and
all other citizens are invited to hear
him. Mr.. Adkins is one of the Pro-
gressives who did not follow Roose-
welt in his betrayal of that party to
the Republican Old Guard, but rea-
Lies that Woodrow Wilson has done
more to carry out progressive prin-
ciples during his one term than all
the republican presidents the coun-
try has had since Lincoln. Mr.. Adj
kins, as progressive, is urging mem
bers of his party to vote for Wilson
this year as offering the only real
hope for continuance of progressive
legislation.
Hon. Orie S. Ware, who is already
well known in this county both by
reason of having married Miss Louise
Culbertson, related to many Lincoln
families, and thru the fact that he is
Past Grand Master of the Masonic
order, is billed for two speeches in
Lincoln next week at Waynesburg,
on Wednesday evening, Oct. 25th and
at Hustonville, on Thursday evening,
Oct. 26th, both speakings beginning
at O'Clock. Mr.. Ware is a splen-
did speaker and charming gentle
man in every way and large crowds
will undoubtedly be present on both
occasions to hear him.
A speaking date has been made
for j. S. Owsley and W. H. Shanks
of this city at Rowland on Saturday
night, October 2Sth at O'Clock
Splendid crowds are turning out at
all of the Democratic speaking APP
pointments in the county and an I'M
usual amount of interest seems to
be manifested in the present cam
paign. Workers who have gone over
the county say that they never before
in a campaign have they seen so
many men who ordinarily vote the
republican ticket in an election, bold
ly come out and say they intend to
vote for Wilson this time. They say
that they do not want to take a
chance on this nation being plunged
into the horrors of war; that Will
son has kept it at peace so far and
there's no use in taking such a dam
gerous chance at such a critical per-
iod in the country's history. Other
