Topeka Correspondence

Politicians say that the result q
the present campaign depends NOR
upon the farmers and people livlni
in the country and small towns thar
upon anyone else. They sa'
that the farmers can and will nomi-
ate the next Governor-sither BY
voting for him at the primaries o.
stavinQ away from the polls on th'
day Of the primary and leavini
the voting to the city people.
Politicians who are talking alonf
these lines say that the source o
the Stubbs and Leland strength
comes from two distinct places
They say that Leland is and will b.
strong in the cities and big town
of the state where certain Interests
are strong but that out in the count
~ where the people do their owl
thInkiug Stubs is strong, These
politicians may have drawn the lint
too tight but it is believed to be
fact that Stubs will have moI'
strength in the country than any
other candidate that could be pu
up. He h always been strong IL
the rural communities. LELAND
has always been strong il
the cities and towns where thu
people are more or less dependen
upon corporations and where there
is less real thinking along politica
lines.

CANDIDATES COMING TO THE FRONT.
Al Present Legislative Prospects are
inihe Lead.


1t has been predicted and in
some, quarters expected that
candidates for county Offices
would wait until after the State
convention, or rather until the
primaries were called but it seems
not.
To date four candidates have
made public theirintentions to run
for the legislature-all except one
of whom is a lawyer.
For some time ithas beenpublic
property that Sidney C. Cham
bers would enter the race for
this position. and it has also
been talked that Arley M. Moore
would again aspire for the nomi-
nation at the hands of the Dem
ocratic party. With these two
in the race for some time, now
the announcement of Benjamin
Lovenstein and Moses Levy that
they will enter the race lends
color to the fight.
With four candidates in the
race and possibly others to be
heard from, there is much fun
ahead.

FOR LABOR COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Cannon Sizes Reasons Fla,
uoring the Nomination ofMr
Shipnan.

oHipIftfIL
Mr.. A. Cannon, of Horse Shoe
is here attending a meeting of
the State Board of Agriculture,
of which he has been a valuable
member since 1901. He is an
enthusiastic supporter of Mr.. M.
L. Shipman for Commissioner of
Labor and Printing, and requests
the News and Observer to pub
lish his estimate of his friend,
which is as follows:
Ability and fitness should be
the first consideration in MAX
ing choice of candidates for the
public office, but merit and faith
full party service should also be
remembered. A man who has
for years fought for a great
principle, giving his time, his
talent and untiring energy for
the benefit of his party, and the
State, deserves the best the peo-
pie can give by their suffrage.
This Mr.. Shipman has been do
ing cheerfully from his boyhood,
and have always found him to
be man of the strictest inter-
gritty and acknowledged ability
to successfully discharge any
duty he undertakes. He is pc
culiarly fitted for the Office to
which he aspires, and I do not
think the Democratic party can
afford to dispense with the servi-
ces of a faithful servant and an
exemplary official, simply be-
cause some other clever gentle
men desire the place. 1t would
be bad poll y Ir)m a bu.ine IS
point of view, leaving out the
question sof giving honor to
whom honor is due. Mr.. Ship
mans friends are proud of the
splendid record he has made
with the Bureau of Labor and
Printing and feel that simple JUS
tice:demands the promotion he
seeks.
"Mr. Shipman's party service
is not equaled by that of any
man in North Carolina of his
age. He has done valuable SER
vice as Chairman of County,
Senatorial and Congressional
Committees, and since his cleo
ton as q member of the State
Democratic Executive Commit
tee eight years ago, he has not
missed a roll-call. 1t gives me
pleasure to say that his friends
are greatly encouraged over the
prospects for his nomination.
and | hopemy Democratic friends
in every section of the State
will stand by Mr.. Shipman, who
is both competent and deserving.
That he is the right man in the
right place, no one will deny
after he has been elevated to the
position of Commissioner.
