SYSTEM do not necessarily flow from the sta
tutory provisions, but rather from "court
made'' law
Should I be chosen Solicitor General Of
this circuit I will endeavor to administer the
office according to the statutory provisions
and If the Grand Jures of the respective
counties will assist me in discounting frivo-
1ous and malicious prosecutions, the great
evil Of the "fee SYSTEM will be overcome.
Believing that candidates for political pre-
ferment should bear the burden of their cam

during my term of office or within two years

future preferment
The office of Solicitor General is one Of hon

Solicitor, I will maintain the former and faith
fully discharge the latter, regardless of any
consequence to my future.
My two honorable opponents now enjoy the
lucrative positions Of Solicitors of their re-
spective City Courts, under the "fee sys-

Shelton, has been sucking the "fee system !"
cow for years-in fact he created the Hart
we'll City Court (of which he is the So
ictor) and equipped her with "fee sys-
tenn" teat instead Of "salary" teat. (See
Journal of the Senate 1904 pages 422 and

TO THE VOTERS OF THE NORTHERN
CIRCUIT
CIRCUIT.

I have never been a member of the Legis-
lature or held an office; have never been
factor In any caucus where the Offices of the
state were parceled out; I have never en-
tered into any political combine wherein the
Il tickle you and you tickle me' ethics pre-
vailed; therefore I have no influential legis-
latlve associates in each county in the cir
cult to aid me, no caucus influence to bind
anyone, no combinations depending upon my
candidacy, no political debts to pay. and no
one to control my actions should | be elected
I am absolutely standing in my own shoes,
owing allegiance to no factions, cliques or
combines, but free to discharge the duties of
the Office to which [ aspire without fear or
favor to any man on Gods earth. The Gre
dentials offer is the favorable recommended
ton of the bar and grand jury Of my county
and the valuable commentator of my precep-
tor in the law, the Hon. Thos. E. Watson.
AS [ cannot change the statutory laws pro-
viding compensation for and defining the du-
ties of Solicitor General, any promises I
might make pertaining thereto would be mere
ly bait to mislead voters.
The General Assembly of your state pre-
scribes the duties and fixes the compensation.
Had [ served three sessions In that honorable
body; been IN favor of changing the present
salary of the Solicitors General Of two hundred

annum; been on the committee which had
charge Of bill providing for such radical
change, and quietly submitted to it's being

OLD NORTH STATE REUSED
Land of the Tar Heel Going for Prohibition
A Great Change Accomplished

:, RALEIGH, N. c., January 16-(Special CORE
spondence) -There never was better illustra-
ton of the growth of Prohibition sentiment than
in the present situation in North Carolina Only
few months ago the state Anti Saloon League
was opposing campaign for state Prohibition
with all its energies. Now the League has petit
toned the special session of the legislature that
is now sitting to pass a state Prohibition law,
and the sentiment in favor of such law is wide
spread and powerful throughout the state. The
governor and several ex-governors champion the
policy and are found in the field, campaigning
for Prohibition In two of the strongholds of
the whisky business, Salisbury and Wilmington,
the fight for local Prohibition is now on. A few
months ago it would have been considered i'm
possible to carry either city for Prohibition; now
it seems certain that both cities will vote the
saloon out Several smaller towns in the eastern
part of the state also have local elections coming
on, and in each no-saloon victory is practically
assured.

the news that the Bahnfrei Turnverein has re-

OF this city, announcing that they need not worry
about him at all, for he is the faithful enemy of
the Prohibition movement and will not vote for
Prohibition in the District of Columbia or any,
where else. The letter is in response to letter
recently sent to Carey by the turnveren, appeal

Mr.. Carey in his letter, according to the Sem

The letter is extremely enlightening illuminat-

national capital is committed. 1t would perhaps
be unwise to say that Mr. Carey is disreputa-

many leading decent Republicans refused to vote
for him when he was elected to Congress and the
statement was commonly made about Milwaukee
that he was a professional gambler and the
