Ca the face OF the returns
IL would appear TO the outsider
that Davidson County Demo
Gratis are strong for Justice
Manning, that he Is = great IA
xorlte with the people: but such
In not the case. The people or
Davidson County do not knov
the gentleman. Few OF them
ever paid any particular atten-
ton to him, and the few who
have known little of him beyond
the fact that they read OF his
able defense OF the American
Tobacco Company and other
trust interests in the Legisia-
lures OF 1907 and 1909. The
Kitchin machine OF Davidson
County, in the utter absence OF
any activity on the part or
Judge Aliens friends. who
thought they would receive a
square deal. carried the major
ity vote for the justice in appro-
pirate Kitehinesque style. The
vote of Midway, which was solid
for Allen, never saw the light
OF day in the convention. The
vote of Emmons was changed.
as was that OF Tyro, whose vote
is equal to one vote in the State
Convention. Such methods as
this will not win the approval
Of true Democrats because they
are not Democratic. Democracy.
IL it is anything is fair, impair
tial and just. This sort of thing
will not help to carry Davidson
County Democratic. The call for
harmony is vain while Demo-
Gratis receive such treatment at
the hands of fellow-Democrats.
1t strikes The Dispatch as the
poorest sort Of political policy
to sacrifice the interests of the
party for any candidate that
ever lived. The good of the
party is far above the interests
of any candidate, no matter who
he may be. even though he be
the Governors campaign man
ager and appointee"
It is argued by gentlemen who had
hand in what we hold was a most
action which savors
r more Of ring rule and steam
ller tactics SO often seen in Re-
lblican conventions where bosses
, states to suit themselves, that in
much as Capt. F. G. Robbins was
airman of the convention, it was
'und to be perfectly straight. The
spatch doesn't have to prove the
spect it has for Captain Robbins
I'd to say that it knows him to be
high-minded gentleman and an
NEST man. Captain Robbins had
thing to do with what we are talk
G about.
Mr.. w. B. Hunt, a man whose
ord no man questions, reported
at Tyro primary cast it's six votes
Judge Allen: Mr. B. l. Harrison,
good man as the county has, re-
rted that Emmons cast two-thirds
her vote for Judge Allen and one
lrd for Judge Manning; DR.. J. A.
well-known physician
Abbott's Creek, reported that
lille uninstructed, that township
ould be voted for Allen; Mr.. J. w.
tzgerald, of Cotton Grove, report
that having heard the five votes
the township would be cast for
lnnuing, protested that one-half
ould be given Allen, it being the
shes of at least one-half of the
mocrats that Judge Allen be NOM
tied; and as We understood it, no
mary was held at all; Midway, on
authority of Manning support
instructed for Allen but the dele
te in charge of the vote was per-
aded to stay out Of the convention. /
These are the facts as we see
'm. Midway never voted, and the
,e as given above was changed.
Inc gentleman who deny that the
5chin machine operated a steam
Ter and who charge that this pa
has lied, are the same gentle
n who have been doing what fee
things they could to destroy The
patch and its editor for several
RS past; and there is nothing new /
recent developments.
