Ulster labor decided to assist in that
settlement. So it killed Carsonism. And now it is trying to lay the
Carsonistic ghost.
This is the way labor killed Carsonism. I saw it done. I was in at the
death. There was a parliamentary seat vacant in East Antrim. Carson, whose
choice had hitherto been law, backed a Canadian named Major Moore. But
labor put up a sort of Bull Moose candidate named Hanna. The Carsonists
realized the issue. During the campaign they reiterated that Carsonism was
to live or die by that vote. The dodgers for Major Moore ran:
East Antrim Election
WHAT
The Enemies of Unionism
WANT
The Return of Hanna
WHY?
Because as _The Freeman's Journal_ of May 10,
1919, states:
"IF HANNA WINS, HIS VICTORY WILL
BE THE DEATH KNELL OF
CARSONISM."
Are YOU going to be the one to bring this
about?
VOTE SOLID FOR MOORE
and show our enemies
EAST ANTRIM STANDS BY CARSON
At the meetings the Carsonists continually stressed the point that this
election meant more than the election or defeat of Moore. It meant the
election or defeat of Carson and his ally, God.
"God in His goodness," declared a woman advocate at a meeting held for
Moore at Carrickfergus, "has spared Sir Edward Carson to us, but the day
may come when we will see ourselves without him, and I want to be sure that
no one in Ulster will have caused him one pain or sorrow.
