as follows. las a matter Of public
and general interest, we would say
that the records show that the new
courthouse has cost s29,544.99 to
date every dollar Of which has been
paid. To this sum will be added ST.
POO OF indebtedness not yet due"
That as said finance committees
report is inconsistent and incomplete,
misleading and calculated to deceive.
that we are in favor Of and believe
that the people demand, regardless
OF politics, that the Board of County
commissioners secure the services of
an expert, if needed, and render UNI
to the people of this county a full
and detailed report of the financial
affairs of this county, a report that
can be understood by every citizen of
ordinary intelligence and motif orce
the taxpayers to have to resort to
the services of an expert and that
We believe that nothing short of such
report will satisfy the honest and
hardwrOking men of this county
who have a right to know how their
money is being spent
That we pledge to the people OF
Randolph County, regardless of par
ty, complete record Of the county's
finances, annually, and that we now
challenge the Democratic administra-
IN h -
partisan auditor and show the people
a complete report of the county's fin
nances.
That we are opposed to a joint
canvass as heretofore conducted and
this convention, therefore, recon-
mends that our candidates arrange
their own canvass with the County
Executive Committee without regard
TO the appointments of the Democra-
tic candidates.
Resolved, That we endorse the
candidacy of Hon. Chas L. HoIton
Tor Solicitor in this the Tenth Ju-
dicial District, recognizing in him
those sterling qualities of courage,
honesty and devotion to duty which
will pre-eminently fit him for the
faithful discharge of the duties de-
yOlving upon him in e-guarding
the interest of the people of the
state as it's prosecuting attorney
and furthermore having implicit
faith that he will conduct the bust
ness of his Office on a high plane
above partisan politics, nor do we
believe that he would ever use the
power Of his office to further his own
selfish ends, but that he would dis
charge the duties incumbent upon
MIN with fairness and justice to all
Be it further Resolved, That it is
the will of this convention that the
delegates to the Judicial Convention
be instructed to cast their votes for
Chas. L. HOlton for Solicitor in the
Tenth Judicial District, and that they
use all honorable means to secure
his nomination.
Believing that the future prog
ress and prosperity of our State de-
Ponds upon the perpetuation of Re-
publican principles and policies and
that the Hon. John NJ. Morehead is
fully identified wit these principles,
and upon this he was elected for
Congress overcoming a Democratic
majority of over five thousand, and
that he has done much good in Con-
gress for the whole State.
And believing that his leadership
will guarantee desired results in the
coming election, we, therefore, in
struct our delegates to the State Con-
yention to vote for him for Chairman
Of the State Executive Committee.
Resolved, That we endorse the
wise administration OF our County
Chairman, Chas. L. Holton, and we
recommend that he be unanimously
elected as Coutny Chairman for the
following two years.
The following ticket, which is con-
sidered one Of the strongest ever put
out in Randolph County, was nomi-
