accident that he had Sunday evening
when his engine collided with another

Seattle, Feb. ..26.- As the city elec- tion draws nearer the interest in the outcome has increased and politics are being discussed to the exclusion of all other subjects. The principal fight, and that which most interests the voters, is the contest between Moore, who is running independent. and Miller, the republican nomineee. The race. it is predicted, will be a close one. The campaign has been the hardest ever carried on in this city.

Especial to Raleigh Times.)
Greensboro, N. c., Nov. 20.-It is
probable that John A. Smith, recent
Republican candidate for Congress
in the Ninth District, will contest the
election of E. Yates Webb, his DEM
ocratic rival, who will get the Ger
tificate of election.
Mr.. Smith was in Greensboro yes
terday and did not hesitate to say
that he had been cheated out of the
election He said that he is not yet
certain that he will make contest,
but said that he has men investigat-
ing the alleged crookedness on the
part of the Democrats in certain
counties.
Two of the most open acts of
crookedness, said MFR. Webb, were in
| Township No. IA, known as Grape
Vine, Madison County, and In Yam
cey County. Mr.. Smith alleged that,
in Grape Vine, the registrar left the
polling-place, carrying off the poll
| books and registration book, and no
election was held in that township.
He said that that township would
have given him (Smith) about one
hundred majority. He further al
1eges that in Yancey County two
hundred to two hundred and fifty
persons voted for Webb who got
their pol1-tax receipt after May 1st

The curse of the Republican party
in the South has been the referee
plan which has resulted in the build
ing up of a patronage machine TO
dominate and blight the party S
growth. In nearly every Southern
State this close corporation of pat
ronage machine has absolutely sue
ceeded in preventing the party from
growing. In North Carolina the party
has grown in spite Of the machine,
and it has now grown so large that
the people are determined to run
over the machine and rid themselves
of the yoke that would keep them in
the bondage of political minority
The handwriting is on the wall and
the patronage machine must go, ano
when 1t does, then North Carolina
will go Republican and daily Re

OF no organised effort to bring them
10 the party. that the papers cirea
iatEon could have been increased 10 .

The fact that this was not doas
shows two things: first. that the Stats
organization was not trying 10 do
anything to make the State Repub-
iican: and. second. that they were
not trying TO do anything to build
up and establish the paper as q sue
cess: and II may be said. shows third
ly, that the paper actually had nc
effective part in making these Re-
publican gains, for IL IL had It's cir
calation would have been increased
instead OF diminished during the
campaign.
Another Republican observed that
IL the State organization had not
wanted 10 wreck the paper they
would never have permitted IL TO
have gone into the hands of a re-
ceiver, for IL Is well-known that such
action would have at once had q bad
effect upon its finances. Another Re-
publican, who was present during
this conversation, suggested that
probably it was the purpose of the
organization to reorganize the paper,
freeze out all of the stockholders,
and buy In the hands of few of that
coterie. If this view should be cor
rect, then IL Is clear that some big
fund mas been raised from some
where to run the paper as a person
al organ; because every one knows
that the paper can not be run sue
cessfully unless 1t Is run as a broad.
progressive paper, fighting primarily
for the advancement of Republican
principles and the success OF the Re-
publican party.
1t lis perfectly clear to any one
who knows about the political situa-
tion in North Carolina or about the
newspaper business that IL the man
agement of the campaign in North
Carolina had been in competent
hands that had desired to win that
not only could the State have been
carried Republican at this time but
that the Industrial News could have
been put on a paying basis at the
same time.

A Western paper says that the
Southern newspapers do not give
much evidence of a proper apprecia'
ton of the South's political oppor-
tunity that is in a position to con
troll the Democratic party and com
pei the party at the North and in the
West to be Democratic. This Yves
tern paper certainly has not rea6
the recent election returns from
down this way. The fact is, the
South is getting in a position where
it cannot longer compel itself to b.
Democratic, much less compel otn
