A PROPOSED SOLUTION.

The prospect OF a fight between the
Simmons and Kitchin wings OF the
Democratic party which has been agi-
tating the leaders for some time, has
now had proposed a solution. This
involves the retirement of Chief JUS
tice, Of the State Supreme Court.
The plan" is TO nominate for that
high Office Judge Plat Walker. This
will create a vacancy TO which Judge
Allen can then be nominated for AS
sociate Justice. Manning then can
be renominated, and all will be love
ly, except for the friends OF Judge
Clark, who are yet 10 be heard from.
This solution" involves a tale OF
typical Democratic revenge and hun
ger for what they so often refer to as
pie" and ''pone." Judge Clark is
to be knitted because of the activity
Of his son and himself in the NUM-
cipal campaign at Raleigh, when the
Wake County machine was disrupted
and all but overthrow. The sup
port of the News and Observer and
its silent acquiesence in the political
killing of its former ally, Judge
Clark, is secured by the prospective
nomination Of Frank Daniels, a broth
er Of the editor. for the vacant
Judgeship Of the Sixth District, which
will be caused by Aliens elevation.

Of the leaders," but that is enough.

THE SHEMWELL CASE.

The action of Governor Kitchin in
communting the sentence of Baxter
Shemwell from five months to five
days in Jail and a fine of five hundred
dollars, was not entirely unexpected
by those who had closely followed
this remarkable case.
Shemwell, a wealthy man, with a
reputation for gun play" was con-
victed after hard fought trial on the
part Of his attorneys of having forced
the conductor of train to stop at
point not on the schedule, under
threats of instant death. He not
only drew one gun, but two, and his
unsavory reputation undoubtedly had
some effect on the conductors de-
c1sion to comply with the demand.
Shemwell had previously been tried
for killing one man and had been be-
fore court on another charge similar
to the one he was convicted of.
In view of his past performances,
many thought that the Courts SEN
tence Of five months exceedingly
light. Having failed before the Su-
preme Court in his effort for a new
trial, that body unanimously sustain
ing the lower court, the Governor
on the plea that Shemwelrs health
was poor, deferred his sentence to
April 1st. The convicted man then
began his efforts to have his punish
ment committed to a fine, and has. to
all practical ends. succeeded in so do
Ing.
The Governors action is based un-
on the opinion that Shemwell's health
would be seriously impaired by the
longer term in jail
That may be. but it does not pre-
vent many from asking what would
nave been the fate of some poor and
humble citizen similarly convicted

provided WE HAVE SOME
THING TO OFFER"

The Mount Airy Leader. In a
thoughtful editorial. points out the
conditions which have made large
number OF Democrats dissatisfied
with their party and the general
growing spirit of independence, and
says that this situation presents a
most favorable opportunity for the
Republican party to carry the State,
provided We have something TO Of
fer"
This isyery wisely and timely said.
The voters who are dissatisfied with
the Democratic party will not leave
that party to join another party that
is controlled by Federal pie-coun-
ter trust. and IL that is all we have
to offer them, not one of them will
come. Indeed, thousands of the re-
cruits which came to the Republican
party at the last election will not
vote with US at the next election if
the pine-counter bosses are the recog-
nized leaders OF the party.
The recruits gained in the last cleo
ton came because they believed that
President Taft's speech at Green's
ooro and his other declarations to the
effect that the rotten referee system
In the South should be abolished, and
that men OF the highest character
and standing, who had the respect
and the intelligence and morality of
each community, only should be ap-
pointed to Office. would be carried
out in good faith and that there
would be a complete renovation of
the Republican party and its lead
ers.
Not one Of the thirty odd thousand
recruits gained in the last election
will follow for one minute the pie
counter bosses. Therefore, the next
State Convention must determine
whether or not the Republican party
will have anything to offer to the
voters of the State. In addition, the
party must be able to offer a platform
that is not a-straddle, especially on
the great fundamental principle Of
local self-government.
The view Of the Independent voter
of the State was very correctly pre-
sented recently in a significant edi-
torial in the Charlotte Observer, in
which it said that wherever the Re-
publican party existed for the distri-
button of Federal patronage and
made no serious efforts to win cleo
tons before the people, that it could
never win and did not deserve to
win.

HOW TO GAIN RECRUITS AND
HOW TO DRIVE THEM AWAY.

The Washington correspondent Of
the Charlotte Observer learns from
leading North Carolina politicians
that the fight which the Republican
patronage machine has made upon
Congressman Morehead has greatly
strengthened him with the voters in
his district and will be the cause OF
new recruits coming to him from the
Democratic party.
That this is true. We have no
doubt Indeed, 1t was the declaration
Of President Taft in the last cam
paign that he would destroy the ref
cree system In the South and appoint
only high-class men to Office who had
pie in their respective communities,
that caused him to gain over thirty
thousand votes in the State. every
vote OF which. OF course, came from
the Democratic party; and yet, In the
face OF these facts. there are some
who claim that the way to build up
the Republican party is to let 1t be
dominated and run by the patronage
machine bosses who. everybody
knows, do not want the party to
grow
These facts point plainly to how to
gain recruits of how to drive them
away from the party.

A WORD TO THE VOTERS.

The attention of Republican vot-
ers in particular and Independent
voters generally is called to the fact
that Democratic registrars in some
sections are attempting to register
Republican voters for the Democrat
ic primaries. In some instances they
are registering voters without their
knowledge. If you find that your
name is on their lists, direct that it
be stricken off. Do not attend their
primaries. To do so is an implied
agreement to vote their whole ticket
this fall, no matter who may be
nominated
And, again, be sure to pay your
poll tax before May the first. Notice
on your tax receipt if your poll is
indicated. Instances have been
known where that was left off,
whether Intentionally or not, is not
known. But make sure of this fact.
The Democratic primaries have
been called for June 25th. The date
for the Republican primaries have
not yet been fixed.
If you believe in Republican pros
perity, local self-government, etc.,
then do not participate in the Dem
ocratic primaries.

Is This Democratic Good Govern
ment?

When Solicitor Graves learned that
form of peonage was being prac-
ticed in this civilized county, he
"arose in righteous Indignation" and
sent for the Road Superintendent,
and told that gentleman if ever he
again heard of any such practices he
would at once indict and prosecute
him. 1t seems that the authorities
at the road camp, when a prisoner
escapes from the road camp and is
recaptured, have been accustomed to
tax the prisoner all costs and ex-
penses incidental to his escape and
capture, and to compel the prisoner
to work out such costs without the
formality of law. my God, can this
be true in Rockingham County" ex-
claimed the Solicitor. We commend
him for his action. = Reidsville

The recent revelations regarding
graft and corruption in high places
shows an alarming condition Of af-
fairs. Their exposure is a matter of
public necessity, and the wider the
publicity, the greater the public
good. Both parties are affected by
the Venality of certain of it's mem
bers, but in the method of honest
dealing with the public, the insincer-
ity of the Democratic party is clearly
shown.
In the sincerity of purpose and
honesty in dealing with the public,
the Republican party certainly has
the advantage over it's opponents
With a genuine desire to purge the
public service Of evil and corrupt
men, it has openly come out into the
light and no matter who was affected
or how, the open light Of the day
was turned on. It is a shame that
this cannot be said of the investfga-
lions controlled by the Democrats.
The two striking instances seen are
In those of New York and Missis1
sippi. The former State, controlled
by the Republican party, found one
Of its members of the State Senate ac-
cused of receiving bride to influence
legislation. Though he was powerful

guilty man, after a fair and open

democrats connected in this also, but
their friends kept the true facts
smothered.

stronghold Of Democracy-the State
OF Mississippi! The recent election
OF Senator. after a long fight, and
very bitter one, caused a charge
to be made against a prominent
member of the Legislature of bribery

Mr.. F. H. Alexander, prominent

way, has been a lifelong Democrat,

suit his notion and that. if possible,
he wants conditions to remain as
they are. He intimates that in the
future he proposes to vote for his

which he believes is best capable of
mems highest welfare. That the Re-

principles and acts, to attain this end,
is his firm and conscientious convic-
tion.-Wilkes Patriot.
