THE Aftermath
! IN WADESB0A0
: n
Split In REPUBLICAN Party in
Anson County

|of the republican meeting held here
Friday is interesting to the demo-
Gratis. Marion Butler spent three
hours in his attack on the democratic.
|party and leaders and finally CLOSED
with a conference Of some OF the re-
|publicans who attended. 81, b,s
The Wadesboro postoffice is the
bone of contention and has resulted
In split Of the republican forces in
the county. The seeding faction who
have named themselves progress
siyes' are the supporters OF More
head and Butler and are largely in
| the minority in the county. They left
the regular convention and nominated
a county ticket. c. A. Bland is the
chairman OF this organization. 1t is
generally understood that Mr.. Bland
is an applicant for the appointment
as postmaster at Wadesboro. This
place is now held by Mr.. Matheson,
the son of j. L. Matheson the chair
man of the regular party county COM
mittee.
At the conclusion of the address by
Marion Butler another county ticket
was nominated. This ticket is not
satisfactory to the republicans OF the
county and they are talking out loud
In their opposition to both the ticket
and the interference of Marion But
Ter in local affairs. The regulars in
sist that their nominees should have
been endorsed by the state committee
and no attention given TO the seced-
ling faction. One OF the leading re-
publicans stated yesterday on the
lstreet that he would have worked and
voted for the party II ii had not been
for the coming OF Marion Butler but
that now he was through.
Another gentleman and one who s
thoroughly conversant with the situa-
ton remarked to the correspondent
yesterday that the coming of Butler
cost the party at least 100 votes II
not twice that number. Further he
said that the democrats did not need
to have any speaker follow Butler be-
cause he was doing better work for
lthe democrats than for the republi-
leans.
II is impossible TO get either fac
ton OF the party TO take the respon-
sibility Tor Butler's coming. Mem
bers Of both committees say that Bat
Ter lust came" One OF them said
that the first that was known OF n
was the announcement OF his date.
BY actual count less than 90 re-
publicans heard the speech. A num-
Der were on the streets who refused
to even enter ne court house during
the time.
J. L. Matheson. the leader-of the
regular organizktioK OF the county
has lived here for a number OF year,
and is respected and could have sucl
ceeded in doing much better work for
the party nominees II Butler had not
come TO town.
But Butler came.
Judge Risdsn Tyler Bennett--the
apostle Of peace did see Mr.. Butler
as reported in the Greensboro News.
Judge Bennett said yesterday that he
advised Marion Butler TO be very
guarded In his speech and refrain
from abuse. Consequently both DEM
oerats ana republicans appreciate the
fact that they both owe Judge Ben
nett much for the tarneness OF But
ler's effort.
i saved democratic feelings and al
so saved few republican votes.
But Butler and Arson will give an
increased democratic majority be-
cause Of his coming.

A GOOD RXA MPLE.

The Governor Of Maryland has the Demo-
cratic idea that those who hold Office must
attend to their duties. Governor Crothers
has ordered all State officials to attend
strictly to business. or they will be removed.
The National Administration could follow
in the wake of this honest and able official
by requiring the higher officials at Wash
ineton. from members Of the cabinet down,
to give up their prolonged vacations. The
meeting Of the cabinet just held is the
first appearance of the heads Of depart
ments since the adjournment Of Congress-
early in June. and most of the assistant
secretaries have likewise been absent.
President Tafts idea that officials need
three months vacation is demoralizins the
departments at Washington.
