Goldsboro. N. c.. October -.
j ave been requested to state. as
there seems to be some misunderstand-
ing. that populisss in order TO qualify
themselves 20 vote in the senatorial
primary, not only vote for Bryan
and Stevenson electors, but also for
the democratic candidate for congress
II Is rumored here that certain popu-
lists and republicans seeing that Nc
Kinley cannot carry North Carolina,
have expressed a determination to
vote for Bryan and Stevenson SECTORS
in order to qualify themselves so they
can vote against Simmons They must
also Vote for the democratic congress
sional nominee IL hey would vote i n
the primary.
The primary plan is not SO popular
as before h experimenting began. 1t
Is already the occasion OF strife and
bitterness; has arrayed friend against
friend and IL Is feared VIII result
harmfuily to the best interest of the
public good
The friends of both Simmons and
Carr are hard at ork in this section.
Indeed. for some weeks Carr men
have been quietly c~anvaSsing the
county, distributing literature and
making personal appeals TO the indi-
vidual voter. Some of these workers
are bold to claim the county for Mr..
Carr, but not so by a large Vote. say
the Simmons men who also are in
close ouch with the masses.
General Carr passed through today
for Plymouth where he speaks tonight.
Mr.. Carr and Mr.. Simmons were seen
pleasantly conversing in Raleigh today
while possibly some OF their respective
supporters throughout the state were
swapping at each other and impugn-
ing each others motives. At this
spectacle republicans are laughing and
growing fat.

crowd at Elm City this afternoon. L
