Editor Robesonian
Dear Sir,-We ask that you
give place in this issue of your
paper to the following facts in
connection with the support be-
ing given to Mr.. Kitchin, as a
candidate for the Democratic
nomination for Governor:
On Tuesday night, May 18th,
after about two hours notice,
there was a good attendance at
the opera house of the support
ers of Mr.. w. w, Kitchin for
the nomination for Governor.
A Kitchin Club was organized
with about $50 members enrolled.
The following officers were elect
ed: R, D. Caldwell, president;
J. A. McAllister, Frank Cough,
W. P. Barker, W. A. McPhaul,
and Eli Phillips, vice presidents
Jas. d. Proctor, secretary and
treasurer; M. W. Floyd, Abner
Barker, R. 7. Allen, w. O. Ed
mund, M. O. Rafter, F. M. Far
rell, S. J. Webb, C. B. Skipper,
}. W. Kaneer, E. M. Britt and
A. P. McAllister, executive COM
mittee; Frank Cough, Jas. D.
Proctor and A. P. McAllister,
publicity committee.
The following resolutions were
unanimously adopted:
Resolved that we believe Mr..
Kitchin to be true and tried
Democrat, and in every way
worthy and fitted to be Governor
of the great State Of North Caro-
lima.
Resolved that we disapprove
of the method adopted by The
Robesonian to help secure the de.
feat of Mr.. Kitchin, inasmuch as
said paper publishes as items Of
news many articles appearing il
print against Mr.. Kitchin, anC
none that are in his favor.
Resolved that we disapprove OF
the action of Senator Simmons il
advocating the election of any
State officer, believing the
duty of a United States Senator
to be neutral where all parties
concerned are Democrats.
Extracts from some of the
speeches made at the meeting:
wonder if Craig is not tree
explaining why he was once ;
Republican"
The Democrats of Robesol
county have read several ex
tracts in The Robesonian, copieC
from a little sheet down in New
bern: We ask you to read tn
letter signed by Mr.. Kitchin tina
will appear in the next issue O
The Robesonian. We like fai
play"
Why don't the supporters O
Mr.. Craig tell of the time Whe
ne (Mr. CRAIG headed a fusio
ticket. Why continue to accus
Mr.. Kitchin of an act Of whic
Mr.. Craig is equally guilty, an
which MIR. Craig does not deny.
" IT'S very wrong for MI
Kitchin to even have an idea {
fusion, but it seems to be rigl
E in the eyes of M. Craig's frienC
for him (Mr. Craig) to head
fusion ticket. Consistency tho
: art a jewell"
''Mr. Voter: Please read frol
the Wadeboro paper Mr.. Sin
mons reason for not supportin
Mr.. Lockheart. Then read M
l Simmons letter advocating tt
election of MIR. Craig. Thinl
Mediate. Then make up you
E mind as to there being anythin
behind the CURTAIN.
Just think of a man wantin

n Every Democrat, regardless
choice for Governor, is invite
to meet with the Kitchin Gu

in the opera house.
Let every Democrat who b
lieves in fair treatment and go
