Y
primaries is the same today that it
was when the recent primaries were
held and if primaries were again held
they would be held in the same man |
ner and under the same plan Of or
ganization of the Democratic party, it
the plan of organization is to be fol
lowed, and it is without precedent for
the defeated candidate to ask that he
have a second trial before the people.
Your own county and others sup
porting you did not hold a primary
in the recent election and if precinct
meetings were fair in your county
they were fair in all of the other
counties and there is no reason why
we should hold another election un-
der the same plan of organization.
Further, if new primary were call
ed, we would have no right to ex-
clude the candidates who have al
ready been in the race, or any new
ones who might enter the race and
a second primary would cause more
strife in the Democratic party than
we already have.
1 notice that you say, THAT the
arbitrament of the State executive
committee or the central committee.
could not be satisfactory to both of
u.s.
| II hof II0, mt
arlIy to me. On the contrary. ] Will
state that an; ruling of the executive
committee, or of the central commit
ice on the matter, would De entirely
satisfactory to me, and | would abide
py such decision. and if you should
decide that your case would justify
an appeal to either of these bodies,
1 will gladly submit to their ruling.
/ believe that the welfare of the
Democratic party in the sixth con-
gressional district, and in the State
of North Carolina, is of greater po'
tence that the personal interest OF
either of US and / assure you that il
you had been the nominee OF the con
tention you would have had my
Hearty support and assistance in the
coming campaign, and if the Demo
cratic executive committee of the
State should so decide, you will also
have my hearty support.
Yours very truly;
