REPUBLICANS AT WORK.
The Democratic voters Of the city have
just begun TO realize that the Republicans
are making any fight at all. Mr.. Alden
Campbell. chairman Of the Republican
party in Swansboro, has been among tile
pastors in the city and tried to get then
TO vote for Ellis Martin, the Prohiblf'oi
candidate. instead of d. L. Toney.
The reason for this, they claim, is that
Mr. Toney is engaged in The liquor bust
ness The candidacy of Mir Martin may
help the Republican candidates, Nunnally
anG Wilson. Mr.. Wilson is also engaged
in the liquor usiness. This fact, though,
is not being emphasized by the Repuo-
leans when soliciting the support of
church people.
AN ENPLA MA TItN.
Mr. E. Is. Thaw, who has just returned
to Manchester, said to f;snes reporter
yesterday that he felt that the article in
The Times referring TO a case of dph-
iberia in his family was open to {, mis-
construction.
The article which appeared On the
ed, was so phrased as to make it appear
that Mrs. Thaw had broken quarantine.
AS a matter of fact Mrs. Thaw did not
leave her house, and SO could not have
broken the quarantine; and the only sron-
be seems to have been that some other
person than Mrs. Thaw is thought to have
gone to or from the house.
