Shall the People Win?
If the convention of September
10th that nominated Marion Butler
for the Senate was irregular or ille
gal, then everything that that con
vention did was irregular and ille
gal. Therefore the bogus conven
tion that met on October Gth should
nave (for the appearance at least of
consistency) nominated a full ticket.
Did it do it? No. Why? It is the
opinion of a great many that the
Railroads did not care to neat any
body but Butler. That the Rail
roads were working to control the
Senate of tha next Legislature as it
did the last. Everybody knows that
the monopolists did not try to capture
or buy up the Lower House of the
last Legislature, but that they cap
tured the Senate, as it was easier to
do, having only fifty members. So
again this year if the monopolists
can capture twenty-six Senators,
which is a majority of that body,
then they have the whole State of
North Carolina under their thumbs
and the people are powerless. This
happened two years ago and will
happen again tlp3 year if the people
do not rally to tho poll and support
the mill who are fighting for their
rights in the next Legislature. Bell
and Pigford are true friends to the
people, but they can do you no good
if the monopolists capture the Sen
ate. For no b'dl can become a law
unless pased by both Houses. Go
to the polls early and work all day !
This is a fight against the people by
the money power. The people must
win!
