Primary Law in .ne sabfeme court.


A Pierre special under date of April
18th says, the arguments In one of the
most hotly contested cases which has
been before the supreme court for a
long time, were completed this after
noon, after almost two days of conten-
ton on the part of the attorneys involv-
ed. From the political features neces-
sarily involved in the case, it is one Of
more than passing interest to South Da-
kotans. The whole life of the primary
election law is involved in the hearing,
which is for an alternative writ of man
damus to compel Secretary of State
Wipf to accept the filing of the state pro-
hibition ticket for the general election
in November, without regard to the pro-
visions of the primary election law.
Attorney Lawrerg eyattacked the law
in general, and specifically on a number
of different counts, in which the most
numerous contentious are that the law
is invalid in that it contains many pro-
visions not covered in the title, the one
with the most apparent force to lay
man being that 1t in effect amends the
general election law in some of its pro-
visions. His further attack was aimed
at the attempt of the law to state what
pumber Of voters in a county are re-
quired to be given the dignity of party
organization; the provision which dele
gates to county committees the legisla-
tive power to say whether or not con-
vention is to be held under certain con-
ditions; and the prohibition contained
both in what the law fails to state, and
in its limitation as to the required
strength in counties for party organiza-
ton in the different counties.
Attorney General Clark attacked the
procedure on the. grounds that Quincy
Lee Morrow, the plaintiff was not can.
ddate asking for place on the ticket
which he sought to file; that the con-
stitutionality of law could not be at
tackled through mandamus; and that
the procedure was not properly brought.
He laid stress upon his contention that
no question could be properly raised in
which the rights of the plaintiff were
not directly affected, and through this
contention, that really none of the con-
tentions had any standing in the court.
But he took up most of the allegations
in detail, giving his reasons why they
did not affect the validity of the law.
The contention that the particular
specifications did not in any way affect
the plaintiff, were met with the state-
ment, that his application was to file u
ticket under a certain statute, and which
he would be deprived of a right if the
present law stands, and in this he had a
right to attack the law as whole in any
of the particulars in which he alleged it
was defective.
The court will probably take several
days in which to write decision.

For the first time in its history, says
the Pioneer-Times of recent date, the
State of South Dakota is claiming an in
heritance from an estate that is without
legal heirs. The estate in question is
that of Mary f. Wilson, deceased, wild
ow of the late John K. Wilson of Dead
wood. At the time of his death, Mr..
Wilson left an amount of personal prop
erty including mining stock, library
and other household goods, together
with his home in Deadwood. On his
death all his property passed to his wife,
but before the settlement of his estate
and within few months of his passing,
his widow also died without legal heirs
and consequently under the statute, the
estate passes to the state.

TO DEMOCRATIC. CLUBS
Keep the Democracy Close to the People-Success of
The Club Movement.-Its Importance and Value
Organization Aggressive and Active.-How to Be
Helpful

1908, William Jennings Bryan, their
captain, with the high standard of
equal rights to all and special privi-
leges to none. engraved on his banner,
will lead his army to victory, but po-
litical battles, like actual ones, depend
upon the loyalty, courage and patriot
ism of the privates. oliver Cromwell,
with his Iron-SideS, changed the po-
litical destiny of England. Why? Be
cause he had behind him the most de-
termined men of conviction the world
has ever seen.
Our clubs are mere squads in this
army, but they are the mud-sills upon
which rest this nations destiny. Their
efficiency as units determine their
strength as whole. No party is
stronger than the voters who supply
and sustain it. We have got to win.
and we summon the Democracy of
North Carolina to clean their guns for
the coming conflict.
The few days remaining for work
must be utilized along practical and
personal lines; that is, the clubs must
see that every Democrat capable of
voting votes. This is the essence of
victory There ought to be a special
committee in every club for the sole
purpose of seeing that Democrats get
to the polls; the old men who are
unable to-come must be brought, and
the young, if unmindful. must be re-
minded.
Democratic clubs offer every mem
ber opportunity to labor for his party,
and if the hundreds of clubs in North
Carolina do their duty as units, there
will be one of the eomp1etest Demo-
cratic victories North Carolina has
seen for years. Club members do not
rely upon your officers to do all the
work. You are an integral part in this
great fight, and the ideal club is that
club in which every member, regard
less of his place or position, presumes
to be a leader. The Democratic party
has placed its destiny in your hands
and to you it looks for final vindica-
tion on November 8, 1908.
Respectfully,
o. MAX GARDNER,
State Organizer Democratic Clubs.

The one issue which the Republi-
cans have raised with the Democrats
in North Carolina and given the dig
nifty of of position in their State plat
form is criticism of the last Demo-
cratic Legislature for reducing rail-
road passenger fares in North Caro-
lina-that they have made it possible
for the people of the State to buy
railroad tickets for less money than
they formerly had to pay for them.
Bear in mind that the Democrats
have been in charge of our Legisla-
lures for ten years, and in these ten
years they have 1egislated so we'll and
so wisely for the promotion of the
interests of the whole people of the
State that in all this record the Re
publicans find nothing worthy of cri-
ticism in their State platform but this
one matter of railroad rates.
The Democrats gladly accept the
issue they thus raise, and take pride
in defending their action in this mat
ter as one of their best accomplish
ments for the benefit of the people
at large, and have the advantage of
being able to show, from the sworn
reports made by the railroads them
selves, that, while they have thus
cheapened passenger fares to all the
people, they have at the same time
increased largely the net earnings of
the railroads from passenger fares in
North Carolina.
The sworn reports made by the Of
ficials of the Southern Railway to the
Corporation Commission show that
for the six months ending December
81, 1906, under the old high passen-
ger rates, their receipts from passen-
ger fares in North Carolina were
$e57,564. For the SIX months ending
December 81, 1907, under the IL
cent rate, their receipts were $1,047,-
5SS, an increase for the six months of
$8O,O24; an increase of $13,337 per
month and of nearly $500 per day.
Like reports from officials of the
Atlantic Coast Line for the same pc
riod show $432,O65 under the high
rate and $475,086 under the low rate;
an increase under the low rate IF
s43,O21, or $7.170 per month and
$258 per day.
Like reports from officials of the
Seaboard Air Line show passenger re-
ceipts of$226,S87 under the old high
rate, and $303,S02 under the new low
rate for the same period of six
der the reduction rate of s76.915. or
I$12,819 per month and $427 per day.
These are facts. They show
| beyond the point of caVil that the sug-
gestion made by the Republicans that
| the Democrats have done the railroads
an injury in sreducing passenger fares
| is absolutely without foundation. 1t
| is true that the railroads. in common
with every other class and form of en-
| terprise in the whole country have
suffered greatly within the last eigh-
| teen months, but their troubles are
traceable to the empty freight cars
with which the Roosevelt panic filled
side tracks from one end of the coun-
| try to the other.

Mr. ]. w. Bailey, Democratic candI-
date for e1ector- -at-large, returned
yesterday from Yadkinville. where he
spoke on Monday. He reported a very
large audience and fine Democratic
enthusiasm. He also brought remark
able evidence that the Republicans
have grown hopeless of lodging res
possibility for their past and have de-
cided to defend Holdenism. Russell
ism and Reconstruction. This is borne
out by the notorious Montgomery
speech here.
''It seems" said Mr.. Bailey, in an
interview, "that the Republicans have
decided to accept the responsibility for
the miserable records made by the
two administrations they have had IN
North Carolina
"At Yadkinville yesterday (Monday,
October 19th) Mr. Bart Brown intro
duced Mr.. Elwood Cox. candidate for
Governor on the Republican ticket,
and declared with frenzied emphasis
that Mr.. Cox. if elected. would main
tain the standard set by Governor w.
w. Holden, adding that all that he and
his party asked of Mr.. Cox is that he
should make such a Governor of
North Carolina as Holden made.
"Mr Cox was present and by his ST
lence acquiesced in the Impeachment.
Browns extraordinary declaration
came about in this way: I was speak
ing to large crowd of Democrats in
the courthouse at Yadkinville when
Mr.. Cox came in. I had referred to the
fart that in his letter accepting the
p1blfcan nomination. Mr.. Cox had
called upon the people to forget the
Goldsboro weekly argus., 1908-10-29

past and to Law aside the political
'prejudices' of their fathers: and Ialad
expressed qualification that the Re-
publicans had at any rate become
ashamed of their past. I undertook
briefly to show why they should be
ashamed, and on the other hand. WHY
the people of North Carolina could not
forget that under Holden and RUSSELL
the Republicans had not only proved
themselves unfit to conduct our State
affairs, but had plunged themselves
into corruption and brought the State
into humiliation. I added that while
the Dem ocrats point with pride ro
their past, holding aloft the names ot
Vance, Jarvis, FoWle. Scales. Holt,
Carr, Aycock and Glenn, the Repubii-
and ask us to forget. I went on to say
that all the Democrats claimed for w.
w Kitchin is that he will maintain the
noble record from Vance to Glenn, and
I challenged the Republicans to prom
ise that Mr.. Cox would maintain the
standard of Holden and Russell.
"You may imagine my surprise
when in the presence of Mr.. Cox and
a courtroom full of Democrats and
Republicans MIR. BROWN DID THAT
VERY THING.
'1t appears that the Republicans
have decided to make the worst of a
bad cause and defend Reconstruction,
Holden's regime and Russellism. 1t Il
their load-let them carry it. They
are responsible for these administra-
ton; the record is theirs. It was said
Of old BY their fruits We shall know
them and SO are they known to North
Carolina.

The Democratic party, since it's in
ception, has been anchored near to
the hopes, hearts and happiness of
the American people, and this close
masses has enabled it to Withstand the
devitilizing consequences of repeated
defeat in national elections
In North Carolina it has been found
that the most effective way of reach
ing the people, high and low, small
and great, has been through this
splendid instrumentality of Club Or
ganiZation.
The present campaign has received
close attention along this line with
strong and sympathetic support by
the Democratic Organization and to-
day there is scarcely precinct, ham
let, village or town in the State with
out an association of active Demo-
rats, militant and enthusiastic, loyal
and devoted to the principles of their
party. The underlying idea of Club
Organizations is to bring the Demo-
cratic men of the precinct. county,
State and Nation into closer union; to
harmonic differences, to arouse in
difference and to have every voter
feel that he is an essential element
in his party's success.
There are thousands of these clubs
in the United State today: men of all
classes, businesses, occupations and
professions, bound together in one
common purpose and actuated by the
highest patriotism You do not find
Democratic Clubs inspired, conceived
or dominated by men bent upon greed
or private gain, but that they are Of
ffcered and directed by unself1sh citi-
zens, who place principle before pow
er and men above money.
The clans of Democracy are arising
and on every hillside and valley; by
seashore or by mountain brook they
are drilling and organizing for the
most momentous battle since York
town, when Cornwallis surrendered
English tyranny to American liberty

termined to wrest from the hands o

Independent Candidates.
(Asheville Citizen.)

1t is safe to say that nine out of
every ten Independent candidates are
men who have tried and failed to get
office in the Democratic party. Before
they were beaten they talked long
and loud about their devotion to party
principles. Being beaten, they become
abusive of their former party associ-
ates, desert the principles they once
extolled so loudly, and in every pos
sible way show that it is profit and not
principle that controls their political
action.
Of course there are a few eXcep-
tions, but this is the rule.
What honor is there in such a
course-what principle? Who can
trust a turn-coat? Who can put con-
fidence in the man that is blown about
by every wind of doctrine, finding a
resting place only where his personal
interest dictates
For these reasons all so-called inde-
pendent movements in politics start
