ure Raising Their Pay.
TDv Telerraph 20 The TRIBUNE. J


Albany March 92-Twenty-flve members

ing their salaries raised. as is provided by

IN explaining his vote for the amendment
Assemblyman Shortt. OF Richmond County,
said he believed the salaries OF legislators

in my county told me that he had voted
twlcs for me for member OF the Assembly
and that he hoped at the next election 20
be able 10 vote for me as the candidate for
an important office. When ] asked him
what lie meant By an important Office he
replied. Why, that of coroner. for in
stancer The coroner in my county receives
Si.0o0 a year while an Assemblyman gets
only Sl.500. and he judged the Importance
OF the Office by the amount Of the salary"
The Dana constitutional amendment in
creasing the salary OF the Governor from
S0050 10 S20Oo0 a year was passed without
objection.

Assemblyman Callan providing for the
sealing OF taXicab meters by the state
sealer viii apply only in country districts
where taXicab was never heard of. Il
was first amended TO exempt New York
City from its provisions, and when IL was
reported on the Assembly calendar to-day

and Buffalo were adopted. The bill was
then recommitted TO be pointed with the
amendments. With New York Buffalo and
Syracuse out Of the bill there are left only
q few places in the state where taxicabs
are used 10 any extent.

County, exempting federal employees whose
homes are in this state from the necessity
OF personal registration in order TO vote.

McNeillReplies toCharges
Made by j. c. Wilkes.

To the Editor.
In your issue of the 18th there
is an article purporting to be
written by one ]. c.. Wilkes. in
which he makes an attact upon
me concerning the arrest of GER
tain picture agents at Pembroke.
If he had just complaint, it would
seem that he would not have
waited until this late day to make
it. The arrest of the agents was
made in the spring of 1909. more
than a year ago, and yet Wilkes
makes no complaint until the
eve of the primary Then he
makes his G rges in g
paid political advertisement
in The Robesonian. His reason
is too obvious to fool anyone.
The facts in regard to the mat
ter are simply these:
l. In the spring of 1905
certain picture agents came
to Pembroke soliciting order.
for charging photographs.
;. 2. The law requires such agent.
to pay tax of S15-Sec. IS, Rev
enue Act of 1909. It was admit
ted by them that they had no
paid this tax.
3. The law makes it my dut
, to see that the tax is paid and t
arrest them if it is not paid. Sec
287 Revisal of 1905.
4. " hen my deputy called O
l them for the tax, they stated thu
t Mr.. J. c. Wilkes was manage
s OF their crew and as he was al
sent they did not know what I
> do. They communicated wit
4 him and in the meantime staye
: at the hotel and were not unde

r straint whatever. Wilkes can

hight the case and went to Ma,

In Thursdays Robesonian we
gave the result of the congress
sional primary held in the sixth
district on that day. 1t was a
landslide for Goodwin for fair
we doubt if Goodwin or any Of his
ardent supporters expected quite
so large a majority. Anyway,
we're heartily glad it is over.
The Robesonian took no part
whatever in the campaign that
preceded this special primary, sor
reasons that were sufficient to
us. There was no Robson coun-
ty man in the race and we saw
no reason for splitting our shirt
for either of the two men in the
race. Immediately after the con.
ventions at Wrightsville in July
we stated our belief that Goodwin
8 hould have been nominated a
the first convention, since he wa
clearly the choice of the people
and we have not charged Gu
opinion. We advocated the nom
ination Of the man of our choice
until the people expressed tnei,
preference, and then we were
perfectly willing to abide by tn.
will Of the majority. It is TIM.

The result of the Maine cleo
ton, which is the most striking
indication so far of the wide
spread dissatisfaction with Re-
publican policies and by which
the Democrats unexpectedly gain
a Senator, has put the wise ones
to figuring seriously on the pos
sibility of the Democrats electing
enough Senators to gain control
Of tae Senate il the next Con-
gress. 1t seems forego3e con-
clusion that the Republicans vii.
lose control OF the House. There
are IS Republican Senators and
"a Democratic, the Republicans
having a majority Of "a. OF the
% Senators who stand for re-elec-
ton 5 are Democrats. These will
all be succeeded by Democrats.
A change Of 13 Senators will give
the Democrats control of the
Senate. A Democrat will sue
coed Hale Of Maine, leaving IL
to gain, with chances good for
gaining them.

THE ONLY ISSUE.

Only a small per cent. Of the
men Il Ri eson county who are
in favo1 II purer politics and a
higher standard for men in pub
lie life was reprented at the mass
meeting held in Lumberton last
Wednesday. 1t was generally
understood that it was the pur-
pose of that meeting to protest
against the political methods OF
one man, &c. B. McLeod-to
enter a protest against his can
didacy for Office, and to demand
his resignation as chairman OF
the county Democratic executive
committee. Hence we trust that
those who think, with The Robe
sonian, that it is a matter OF
grave concern, of paramount i'm
portance to put an end to Nc
Leod's career as a boss in Robe
son county politics-he has all
the ear-marks of a boss, none OF
a leader-will not let the mis-
guided action of that meeting in
endorsing men for theLegislature
and the board of county commits
sioners influence their attitude
toward the main issue. So far
as The Robesonian in concerned,
there is no intention to oppose
the nomination Of the men who
had announced their candidacy
for the Legislature or county
commissioner before that meet
ing. With the single execution
of Mcleod. we believe that every
man who has announced his can
didacy for office will. if nominal
ed and elected, worthily represen
the people. We do not believe
that Mcleod will. His recort
makes such believe impossible t
us. The Robesonian has not
particle of enmity toward him
We are not concerned in promot
ing the political fortunes OF an
man or set of men. But we ar
deeply concerned, as every right
thinking man in the county
deeply concerned. when we sc
methods employed that will hui

ard fer men who offer for office
T. ro~;nate men for Office K
whom the better element in tn
party can vote without shan
and without feeling that the
are by their votes endorsing a

ly bad-that is of infinitely mo
importance than the political fo
tunes of any man; and that
why we believe it would be not
ing short of calamity to non
nate Mcleod for sheriff.
