At 'Asheville Saturday night. the
Honorable Locke Craigc announced
his candidacy for the governorship
next time. When the battle OF giants
at the famous Charlotte convention
ended in the defeat Of Mr. Craise.
1t was generally understood by his
lusty western supporters that he was
to be the nominee OF the party the
next election without opposition.
This understanding has stood so long
that II had become general through
out the state. No sooner does Mr..
Craige announce his candidacy posi-
lively, however, than other candi-
dates bob up In different parts OF
the state. Lieutenant Governor New
land. OF Lenoir. announced his candi-
dacy for the high position to which
Mr.. craige aspires Monday. The an
nouncement was made. according to
the Winston Sentinel. while Mr.. New
land was in winston-salem lining up
his friends for Support in the race.
The senatorial contest is still In
full sway. and all Of the candidates
are making hay. Political leaders
and near political leaders even to the
remote country districts are receiving
automatically worded co:nmunica-
from the friends Of the aspiring
candidates for The senatorial toga.
With the addition OF the gubcrna-
iorial campaign To the ssething politi-
cal mass there promises sone strena-
Gus activity.
Nor is this al. The other day.
there appeared at Charlotte a trusted
ambassador OF the La Follstte camp
whose mission was TO form the North
Carolina progressive republicans into
an aggressive organizaticn for the
purpose OF boosting the Honorable
LaFolIette and defeating President
Taft and the standpatters. Since the
visit Of the ambassador, there have
been persistent rumors o. a fusion
between the progressive democrats
and the progrtsxtve republicans Of
the state. Underground forces are
said to have been set In rsotion tend
ing toward such combination and a
full iedged coalition OF this cbarac-

fact can not be too strongly empha-

not take action soon, the franchise

people do not take the matter serious
y for the position has been stated
seriously and reiterated, many times.
Last spring when the association was
on the verge of bankruptcy and could
not have continued but for the as
sistance OF public spirited men and
public spirited institutions, there
were those who maint aimed that the
entire discussion of the clubs situa-
ton was without foundation
ISSUE ULTINATUM
They were much mistaken for had
there been no response. baseball in
Rock Island would have ended then
and there. The present Local direc-
tors and most Of the stockholders are
sici, and tired of being at the helm Of
local baseball and want to let 90 their
responsibility. A. far as baseball l.
concerned here. they much prefer to
turn the club over to an entirely new
set of local people. If no new stock
holders materialize, they assert that
