And Protection has the Democratic
Donkey by the tail and a down-hill
pull.-Yellow Jacket.
What in thunder did that special
committee want to lie on the State
officials for anyway?-Durham Her
aid.
Will all the Democrats in the pres
ent Congress who vote to retain a
tariff on lumber be classed as trail
tors to the party because the plat
form declares for free lumber?-Wil-
mington Star.
II the State wants to issue bonds to
run twenty or thirty years and will
make arrange ments to pay them at
the end of that time it would not be
so bad, but to issue bonds with no
idea how or when they will be paid
is not good business policy.-Durham

When Bryan becomes President
some folks will kick if he does not
select a Southerner for every Cabinet
and other important Office, and still
they would kick because such selec-
tions were not made to suit them.

The new Revenue Act is a verit-
able revenue raiser. 1t taxes about
| everything in sight. Democratic
good CD government costs money,
with floating debts and bond issues
to level up the amount.
Somebody is going to wake up one
of these days to find that the people
are tired of accepting and voting for
candidates and platforms that we'd
ded during the campaign and got a
divorce after the election. A man
has no right to accept a nomination
for legislative or other office at the
hands of a party on whose platform
he will not cheerfully and readily
stand after elestion day. Votes are
cast for measures as we'll as for men.

The Legislature has passed a pri-
| mary election law for Cleveland
| County which makes it a misdemean-
or for voter to participate in a pri-
mary and then vote for other than
the candidates selected by the pri-
mary. If the Democrats of Cleveland
| County want such a law-and their
Representative said they did-that is
their business. Without criticising
| any of the features of the law, we
have to remark that the action of the
Legislature in making the measure
apply to the Republican as well as
the Democratic party in Cleveland,
| against the wishes and the protests
OF the Republicans, was an outrage
piece of partizanship that cannot be
excused-Greensboro Record (Dem)
Wonder IL the whitewash commit

The people of the Solid South edge

Inc Republicans of Asheville will
make strong fight in the approach
ing municipal election for control
of the affairs of that city. 1t will be
no great surprise If they win, not
only In Asheville, but many other
cities and towns in western North
Carolina. The time is ripe, and if
the proper effort is made there is no
reason why they should not be sue
