pCOPAO A@SA oOOo"
Early in the day the voters were
astir, and the carriages for getting out
the vote were scurrying here and there
in this work. The friends of the Hon.
F. NJ. Simmons and General Julian S.
Carr, the two candidates for the senate
in the democratic primary. were at the
polls early. The senatorial boxes were
right along side of the boxes for the
national election, so h a when the
voter dropped in his ballot for presi-
Dental electors and congressman ne
could slip in a ballot expressing ms
choice for a United States senator from
North Carolina to succeed the detesta-
BILE Marion Butler. who will soon be
relegated to the quiet shades of Elliot.
The state election having taken place
in August, the only candidates TO De
voted for were the electors, the con-
gresham and the senator. The latter.
of course, was not TO be elected, but
the choice Of the primary will be equiv
alent to an election. as the democratic
legislature will elect the choice of the
party expressed at the polls.
The election passed off quietly. The
republicans had no workers at the polls
so the democrats had it all to them
selves. The negroes having failed to
register, were not on hand to vote.
Only a few colored citizens presented
themselves to vote. as hardly a corpo-
rails guard had taken h trouble to
register. The only excitement, there
fore, was the contention of the Sim
mons workers and the Carr adherents
in corralling the voters as they came
up. Some warm disputing occurred,
but we did not learn Of any a Juan
hill affairs. At one precinct we did hear
one good Simmons man tell a carr
man to betake himself to his Satanic
Majesty and the latter reply the same
to you, sir" AS they both realized that
they would be bound to go the same
way and meet up again if they accept
ed each others invitation. they simply
shook hands and went to work again
for their respective candidates.
