Excerpt from The Howler, 1918, Vol. 16
Five Men represent the four periods of the history of the State of North Carolina: William R. Davie and Willie Jones represent the Revolutionary period, Nathaniel Macon the Constructive period that followed, Zebulon Baird Vance the Civil War period, and F. M. Simmons the Constructive period from Vance to the present hour; and the star of Simmons is yet in the ascendant. Farmer, lawyer, member of the National House of Representatives, Collector of Internal Revenue, United States Senator, chieftain of the dominant political party in North Carolina, faithful in all and equal to every occasion, for thirty-one years his career has marked the course and determined the character of this Commonwealth. A wise, candid, fighting politician, to begin with, he has, in the United States Senate, wherein men are measured by the standards of a most exacting perspective, become the mainstay of his party and the trusted spokesman, adviser and friend of the President in the hour of our country"s and the world"s supreme crisis, and enrolled his name in the list of American statesmen.
