DIR. NoRMENr INTERVIEWED.

Does not Think he Could be Forced
Down; no Chance to Exclude his Tick
-Populists Come Over to the Dem
ocrats-The Latter With Help Will
Carry the County.
Lumberton. y. c., Sept. 3.-(Special) L
DR.. Norment, the Republican candidate
for Congress, was interviewed today
about the construction placed on the
election law by the Republican STATE
committee that would force him down be-
cause his tickets would not be recognized
by the State chairman.
his opinion is that his case is not ap-
plicable unless there is device on his
ticket similar to the Dockery ticket.
There can be no chance to exclude his
ticket. His intention is to have plain
ticket on white paper without device and
hence would not infringe on a patent or
devised ticket approved by the State
chairman.
A well informed gentleman says the
Democrats will gain enough Populist
votes together with the Republican vote
to carry the county. Leading Populists
concede that there will not be differ
ence or ten votes in the county. There is
authentic information today that the
most influential Populists in Sterling and
Thompson townships have come over TO
the Democrats.
Dr. NOrment has proposed to DOckery
that regular Republican convention be
called to nominate n candidate for Con
gress and that he will abide the decision
of that convention. DOckery wants to
submit the matter to Il PopuliSt and Re-
publican convention.
