WHO WILL BE NOMINATED FOR
GOVERNOR?

In b democratic state convention,
which meets at Greensboro on the BIRD
instant-next Thursday week-there will
be twelve hundred and forty-four
votes. 1t will take six hundred and
twenty-three to make a nomination
No one of the four candidates for gov
ernor mas yet had near that number OF
votes pledged to him or instructed for
him by county conventions. OF the
four avowed candidates two-Stedman
and Glenn-are far in the lead of the
other two-Davidson and Turner.
These two are from the western part
of the state-from Asheville n
waynesville. The larger portion of the
counties which are yet to Mold their
democratic conventions to appoint dele
gates to the state convention are in
this section of the state, where the
greatest strength of these two n
dates lies. 1t is natural to suppose
therefore, that in the selection of dele
gates yet to be chosen Stedman n
Glenn will neither add greatly to the
strength they have already manifested
through selection of county
to the state convention. Most OF the
delegates still to be appointed will be
either for Davidson or Turner, SO that
the results of these conventions will not
greatly change the relative strength
of the two candidates who are leading
in the race.
How these two men stand in numer-.
zeal strength with reference to each
other it is impossible to say. Their
differ widely in their esti-
mates. There is ever great variance
in their figures as to the votes each
has pledged to him among the delegates
already appointed. Each side puts
forth the claim that it's champion is in
the lead. The truth is no one
how the matter stands n it will not
be known who is in the lead until the
first ballot is taken.
For a while, when the county con-
ventions first began being held it look
ed as if Stedman was surely booked for
the nomination, but the results Of the
county conventions which have been
held in the last week or two have some
what changed the outlook. Glenn has
pulled up wonderfully in that time,
while the other two candidates seem
to be biding their time and waiting to
see what were going to be the results
of the heated contest and close fight
between the two candidates who are
in the lead.
The fight is going to be between
Stedman and Glenn on the one hand
and on the other between the united
forces of Turner and Davidson against
the strongest of the former two. in the
interest Of whichever one of the two
mountain men can develop the greater
strength.
Unless Glenn or Stedman secures the
nomiation early in the balloting neither
will be successful and the nomination
will go either to that one Of the other
\ two candidates who develops the great
er strength or to a fifth man.
This is how the situation appears to
us at present. One thing you can be
sure of-there is going 10 be a hot time
in Greensboro during the latter half of
week after next.

Conditions in Colorado seem to grow
worse rather thar to improve. 1t Is
a perfect reign of anarchy. Those in
authority seem to have as little regard
for law and order as do the riotous
strikers. 1t is a fearful state of affairs
to exist in a civilized country. The
New York World illustrates the con
ditions there existing by cartoon in
which a PHILIPPINE is pictured as point
ing to the dynamiting OF the crowd Of
men in the depot n saying to Uncle
Sam who is seated in an armchair,
looking on, Boss, do you call this
civilization"

How does Villas suit you as a run
ming mate for Judge Parker? He is
wonderfully popular with h voters
Of the northwestern section. He would
take all the wind out Of the sails OF
Cannon or Fairbanks. If it is to be a
northern man we know no better one
to nominate than he. We believe Par
ker and Villas would make a winning
team.

1,600 persons on that boat said DR.

simultaneously with this statement
came the announcement OF John Rice,
the diver, who, when he came TO the
surface with the headless bodies of a
boy and a girl, said that he could see
at least 200 bodies inside the bull. At
present they cannot be reached.
Agonized relatives of the persons
who persisted in the burning steamboat
broke through. the lines by sheer weight
OF numbers late in afternoon and tried
to force their way in the pier at the
foot of east Twenty-sixth street. where
the bodies of the 572 victims recovered
