the Rowan county primaries were held

doing the same.
The Cumberland county democratic
convention Saturday was one of the
largest ever held in the county. Moth

Many predicted a wrangle, but the ut
most harmony prevailed.

to be set aside, and his claims upon
the party ignored, because he is not an
allianceman, or because at some time
in his life he may have though: differ

what is now the popular idea, then
. there will be very little hope of nomi
} mating any man who has convictions
or who has moral courage or intellect
ual ability"
