LY runs DCnlnO MS vote OF 10 only fOO duu
REDS vote has been increased 3l62 his vote of
1913 showing that the State has all along been de-
mocratic if the people could have been induced to
turn out. We hope the democratic party will not
hereafter suffer the State to be wrested from them.
We have the power, and if again lose the ascen-
dency in North Carolina it will be our own fault
The popular vote cast last August, is the largest
given in the State-larger by 1907 than it in
August 1913; and $500 larger than it was at the
Presidential election of the same year, when TAYLOR
carried the State by 1851 majority. Our strength is
now before the world: let us maintain it.
Ha-We see from the Chronicle of last Wednesday
that tho Editor is absent visit to Bladen county
We find the following paragraph in his paper of the
above date purporting to come from the Editor
ssBLADEN COUNTY, Sept. 9th
" by the Journal of Friday last that the subject
of rude and malignant attack in article emanatng from
who has temporarily occupied the place
sponsble Editor he being appears from notice in the
paper absent Should tho Editor his return think
to sanction the article every part and parcel shall
fail to give such attention to may be required
The Editor of the Chronicle is aware that the As
sociate Editor of this paper is always at his post
when the Editor is absent and he must have known
that he was here at the time the article which the
Chronicle published from the ti-Savery Standard,
without word of comment appeared in the Chron-
,le He knows too, that he is perfectly responsible
for anything that appears in the Journal, editorial
ly, when the Editor is absent and he knows that
he is capable of defending himself. We made
no crude" or q malignant attack on Mr.. BRowN.
We hope we arc incapable of such conduct. We
made such comments as the seemed to require,
every word of which repeat Mr.. Brown
shall not skulk out of his infamous conduct to the
people of North Carolina, by screening himself I'M
der the absence of the Editor of this paper He knew
when he published the article in question: that that
article contained wIful falsehoods; and he knew at
the time that by his publishing it in the manner he
did, he was endorsing said falsehoods. Mr.. Brown
is at perfect liberty to give such attention to it
may be required.' We dislike personalities, and al
ways make it point to avoid them when it is posi-
BILE to do so. We made no personal attack on the
Editor of the Chronicle last week, nor do we now
but in justice to position we have felt it
duty to say thus much in our own defence
