Stroud in Louisburg last Saturday,
was forced to admit that he is not the
proper man to represent this District
in Congress. As a farmer said to us,
" it would take that man forty years
to get a bilMhrough Congress. He
is too slow and is not informed."
The nearer the election approaches
the more do members of the Third
party see that their course in support
ing Weaver and the State and county
tickets of that party, can only benefit
the Republicans who are doing every
thing in their power to profit by Demo
cratic defeat. And this is causing
many of them to stop and think and
turn back to their former place in the
ranks of the Democracy. Still there
are others who seem determined upon
their purpose to forsake the party of
their fathers and their friends. This
is sadly to be regretted. But they
must know what they are doing. They
have had line upon line and precept
and example, and can not plead
ignorance or the baby act. They may
give away North Carolina to the Re
publicans. They may lose the Legis
lature and give it to the Republicans
with all that such a thing would mean
to us. They may restore the Repub
licans to power in the House of Rep
resentatives, they may defeat Bunn
for Congress, but they will do a great
wrong to their own cause and to our
people.
