REPUBLICAN, ORATOR SAYS WHAT
: HE THINKS TO HIGH POINT
AUDIENCE.

representative Frank Ellsworth o4
Minnesota, spoke at the Republican
| headquarters Thursday night to G
large audience.
The representative discussed sew
eTal topics CT the lay. dwelling par
| ticularly on tariff. He endeavored &C
prove that the Republicans protec
tfce tariff 3 the correct thing to ad
vance the commerci Il conditions OF
a nation, by pointing out that in the
last 10 months, under the provisions
Of tire Underwood bill. the Uriie I'd
States has sent out of the country
many billion dollars more than it has
taken in.
He censured the Democrats for
their wishy-Washy stands on tariff,
He said that in 1915 Mr.. Wilson charg-
ed that 'the Republicans haven't had
new 1uea in 80 years." and that he
was right for they had kept their same
stand on tariff for 55 years, ever since
the beginning of the grand old par
ty'', whereas, the Democrats had been
changing from time to time.
Mr. El1worth tactfu11y began his
gans in a campaign have more to do
with the election Of man than party
platforms, party planlxs or party prin-
ciples. He referred to the election
Of Woodrow Wilson when the slogan,
'tHe kept us out of war;" won him the
White House seat.
The speaker, while criticising Cox
for his attack ON the Republican cam
paign fund, was twice applauded. The
representative defended the Republi-
cans effort to raise this fund, because
he stated the Democrats have in the
past done the same thing. He further
stated that the party which had the
most money generally won, for in
1892 the Democrats raised 100000
and won. The Republicans raised the
same amount in 1896 and won. And
in the last election the Democrats
reached the goal on money. The
speaker said that money is as essen
tia1 in campaign as the issues them
selves.
AS his speech progressed Mr.. ELS
worth discussed economic exercises
during the war, in which he told of
the great extravaganza OF the Demo
Gratis. He bravely upheld the present
Congress and condemned the last-a
Democratic Congress it was-for it's
extravaganza.
He closed his speech with an I'M
merciful attack on the league of ma
tions, in which he said, "war can't be
avoided when Japan thinks she is
ready for war, league or no league.
We can't read the future nor legis-
late the future, therefore America
should not hook herself to anything
that she would have to betray in some
future day. In a last effort he said,
"America for Americans, and America
for the world and humanity, free from
any league when the world and hu-
manity ned her"
However, the orators weakest argH-
ment was given on the league Of ma
tions, as was evidenced by the depart
ure of quite few of the hearers.

SWINE PLAGUE EXPECTING
COUNTY,

The swine plague, known to science
as heorrhagic septicemia, fatal to
hogs, is prevalent to a large degree in
the vicinity west of High Point. It is
killing an enormous number Of hogs,
both on the nearby farms and in the
suburbs Of the city, where swine are
raised.
It is not known how this plague
entered this community, though it is
suspected that it was brought in by
pig wagons, which came here from
Carroll county, Virginia.
1t will be readily recalled that the
agricultural bureau Of the local cham
Der Of commerce, through Secretary
Bivens, objected vehemently to pigs
being brought from Virginia, in VIOLA
tion of the state laws. Mr.. Bivens, on
two occasions, had the pig peddlers
held up in High Point and he reported
the matter to the state veterinarian
and DR.. Owens, who are in charge of
hog cholera and Swine plague" in
North Carolina. However, the Off
ciaIs, so far as is known, have taken
no steps to prosecute the Violations of
the law governing the Importation Of
swine into the state.
The "swine plague" is fatal dis
ease of hogs, and it spreads very rap
idly. A hog very rarely survives.
This disease never starts of it's own
accord; it must be brought into a com
1zz11'.:1ity, L before it can do it's deadly
work. -:~z
= It is very. unfortunate to the farm
ers and other hog raisers that this
destructive disease has been planted
in this section, and unless action is
taken to eradicate it completely, it
will spread into ,other parts of the
state, which would necessitate losses
to the extent of thousands Of dollars.
The secretary of the local chamber
of commerce net only admonishes but
urges the people ofthis section to call
at once their veterinarian and have
their hogs immunized. He advises
that they do this before their swine
become i'll, for after they are sick it
will be too late.
The secretary also expresses his in
tention of convening the agricultural
bureau for the purpose of tracing the
origin of this devastating plague,
which may result in the prosecution Of
he guilty parties.
