Three candidates for the oface of gov
seFnor have Rlready snncuRcea them
selves subject, of course, to the actionsof
the democratic state convention next
year. These are: Hon. Locke Craig, Of
Buncombe county, Congressman w. w
Kitchen, of Parson, and Mr.. Ashley
Horne, of Johnston. 1t is expected that
Hon. F. A. Woodland, of Wilson, and
perhaps ex-Congressman John D. Bel
lamy, of New Hanover, will place them
selves sin the hands Of their friends" in
the due course of time. At the present
writing, the fight seems to be between
Messrs. Craig and Kitchen. with the
chances decidedly favorable to the Bun
eombe man Leading democrats al
over the State appear to realize that Mr..
Craig deserves this recognition and seem
willing to join in the effort to elevate
that gentlemen to the position he seeks
at the hands of the great party he has
served so long and so well. 1t is sug-
gested, and p~ertinently, too, that Mr.
Craig is about the only prominent dem.
ocrat who took an active part in the
memorable campaign of 1898, which re-
suited in the redemption of the State
from fusionism and incompetency who
has not been rewarded for his service.
Mr.. Kitchin, they say, while a good
democrat and q most estimable gentle
man in every way. has recently entered
upon his sixth term in congress, ut the
conclusion Of which he will have re
ceived from the Government the sum O
$65, 600 compensation for his services as
representative, and he can well afford
to retire with the welcome plaudit:
"Well done, thou good and faithful SER
want" The pity of it is that these two
young champions Of democracy and
the rights of the people are pitted
against each other in the contest for
goYernorship. However, "sich is life"
and it is sup to''the democrats of North
Carolina to decide Whom they shall
have to rule over them" The star of
the eloquent Craig is rising rapidly and
unless all signs fail he will win on a
tidal rave like unto which swept the
brilliant Aycock into the Governors
chair in 1900 and landed the matchless
Glenn in this exalted position four years
later. It looks good to US.

'1The solid west il behind him in the

After finishing his work In Raleigh,
Mr.. Crawford rel to jackson Springs
