The matter of changing the
way of electing the school board
or superintendent is coming in
for very little discussion. This
Is an important matter and
should be we'll considered by
every voter before he casts his
ballot. The report of the school
work in Durham for past few
years shows that our county
schools are in a healthy condi-
ton, and that any change would
be detrimental TO them, or at least
any change would naturally have
70 go through an experimental
stage, which would cause the
work to be at a standstill for the
time being.

RGH ABOUT IT?

The following from Websters'
Weekly is worthy of a place in
the file OF any one. especially if
he enters into politics to any en-
tent. The question naturally
arises, wonder if Durham county
Democrats or Republicans, or
both have made the same mistake.
referred to in this article. Voters
know. How about it?
Had half the energy been de-
voted TO nominating a ticket that
would be acceptable to all parts
of the county that is being ex-
pended in trying to force the
voters to line up, it would not
have been at all necessary for
Chairman Eller to have sent a
SINCE big gun 10 the county.
The Weekly begged and entreat-
ed that the party begin new and
not put burden on the con-
science of any Democratic voter.
There is such a thing as weak
ening the great Democratic party
by using its organization and
prestige to force unacceptable
candidates upon the people. We
protest against it and feel we are
doing the party service.
There is an even dozen Demo-
drafts running for Office on the
county ticke. Why shouldt it b.
necessary to bring the big gems
of the State to plead especially
for one? 1t looks like using the
prestige Of the great Democratic
party in the State to force an IN
acceptable candidate on the
voters. It is bound to hurt the
party in the State. Leave it to
the concience and judgment of
the Democratic voters to do right.

IT always looks a little strange
10 read in the papers that a GER
tain manfrom another section has
been imported to take charge of
some important position, when
as a matter of fact, good men
that have been reared in Dur
ham could fill such positions well.
Not that We object or would put
one thing in the way of new
people coming into our midst,
for we are always glad to have
them, but it does look just the
least bit bad to stand aside q
faithful honest man that We
have known for years for q
stranger that comes with high
sounding recommendations.

JusT one week from today the
balloting for candidates will be
on and every man will have q
chance 10 register his will as he
sees it. Many people attach
very little Importance to their
action on election day as they
feel that they have only one vote
and ii will not change matters
much. Such should not be the
case, for all men that have the
right t. vote should realize the
luIl value Of su.h privilege and
govern himse I accordingly.

choice in the coming election,

to do the same thing. It be-
