but we canno, help thinking that his ANXIOUS de-

with a Prejullicsd feeling. We cannotihink that
the members Of the Legislature have been so eI-
tsn,ively operated upon by undue influences by
the people Of Raleigh as he has Represented. That

Of the stale, having greater facilities for forming

Orange. We had supposed that each Of these &C.
lsciions had given general satisfaction throughout
the state. In tho selection Of candidate last
summer, Nj. Manly received the nomination, az
ter Mr.. Rayner had declined. His principal com
pctilor was Mr. Stai.iy. an eastern mau; tho west

some consideration.
But the election Of Senator. In 1910, Judge
Mangum and Mr.. Graham, both from Orange,
were elected Senators, in place Of Judge Strange
and Bedford Brown, who had resigned. These
elections were made with the concurrence Of Mr..
clingman, who was then member ofthe I.egisla-
turc. The west offered no competitor and no OPP
position. The only dissatisfaction that we know
Of was in the east among Mr.. SheparPs friends,
who thought his claims had been overlooked.
In 1912, the Legislature was Democratic, and
being unable 10 adjust the conflicting claims be-
tween Bedford Brown and Judge Saunders for
the seat about 10 he vacated hy the expiration Of
The term for which Mr.. Graham had been elected,
William II. Haywood, Of the city Of Raleigh was

&c party. For this neither the " Raleigh clique"
nor the Wing party were responsible, it being the
